Mixtape Massacre

DJ Whoo Kid & Lloyd Banks: Return of the PLK
Back when Lloyd Banks was rapping about “I’m wide awake, but it still feels like I’m dreaming / 40 cal under my pillow, condom filled with my semen / the physical presence of a female’s the form of a demon / that’s why I fuck ‘em and leave em / get my nut while I’m breathin’…” you couldn’t tell me he wasn’t the nicest MC in the game bar Jigga. But then Banks and the whole G-Unit started eating l
Desert Storm Radio Presents: DJ Clue.TV, Volume One
The King baaaack! I know Clue hasn’t ruled the throne for at least a decade, but I give respect where respect is due. Sounds like dude is finally getting those exclusives again on this one. Jadakiss jumped things off with a lovely freestyle over the instrumental to Nas’ “Stillmatic Intro.” “Gettin’ mon...
Deric “D-Dot” Angelettie Presents…The Mad Rapper: Appreciate the Hate: The Mad Rapper Chronicles Vol. 1.
If you don’t know, kiddies, in the late ‘90s a few rappers—and even a country singer— dropped albums using alter egos they created. Noreaga was Melvin Flint (And it wack album, whoever you wanna credit it to), RZA became Bobby Digital (He had a few dope cuts on the album, but it wasn’t all that) and Garth Brooks became a whiter man (Like I’mma listen to any album by him). But D-Dot’s alter ego, t
DJ Whoo Kid & Remo Da Rapstar: Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself
You know if a dude is gonna add "Da Rapstar" to his moniker then he better be able to back up his lyrical skills and have what it takes to pop off. And man did Remo champagne it. My man was killing it on "Hustlaz Anthem" with lyrics like "Y'all debt barely paying the rent / stack 50 on a dollar when the paper is spent / from a whole other element / yall buying into hype an
DJ Clue: Fallout Part 1 (1996)
I found this mixtape not too long ago while I was cleaning out my closet (Pause!) and, man, did it take me back to that magical year, 1996. I threw it in my tape deck (yes, I still have a tape stereo) and began to reminisce about the abundance of puree (Pronounced Puu-ray) and chocolate that was burned listening to a then unknown rapper spit: “Be larger than life, twice as nice as your idol / pump
DJ Blazita & Serius Jones: The Hard Way
First off, did Serius refer to DJ Blazita as “the top DJ in the game right now as far as the streets is concerned”? Did I miss something? I was on the block all day and ain’t hear anything about Blazita being crowned the mixtape Queen. Did she take ove...
Cory Gunz: The Best Kept Secret
Though he looks like he should still be guzzling Enfamil by the gallons, don’t let the baby looks fool you: Cory Gunz’s lyrical mind frame is light years ahead of most platinum rappers. The offspring of Peter Gunz (He was hot for a few hours in ’97 with his and Lord Tarique’s classic “Déjà vu”) is looking to follow in his pop’s footsteps and make a name for himself in today’s dubious hip-hop game
Sha Stimuli: Hotter Than July
At a time when half of the hip-hop scene has gone commercial, and a portion of the other half is trying to find a way to become mainstream, it’s a breath of fresh air to listen to Sha Stimuli’s Hotter Than July mixtape. You remember that there’s still MC’s that will spit for the heads that burn down blocks instead of buying out bars. Like a hungry MC comin...
