MIXTAPE: BEEN JAMMIN VOL. 1

Dogg's got moves, dawg.

Today is World Gratitude Day. And today, I'm grateful for @BJams11. You should be, too. To show my appreciation, I put together just over an hour of some Hip-Hop featuring artists that have been jammin since day 1. Because like these artists, @BJams11 has been grinding since day 1. It's a mix of old and new. It's also a mix of good shit and better shit.

PS: I kinda made this because I'm tired of Drake's album. I listened to it all of one time. I fell asleep.

Here's the tracklist:

MIXTAPE: Young $tunnaz Vol. 2 - Champagne & Caviar

Loungin' on 300

Once upon a time I put out a mixtape called Young $tunnaz. The link to that mixtape has since gone to vacation on Jay Z's beach and no one asked about it, so there it will stay. But, welcome it's way more sophisticated and enviable cousin, Young $tunnaz Vol. 2 - Champagne & Caviar. This one is the chillest one I've put together, as it's meant to be the soundtrack for the rich and famous. So when you're showing your main crib to your fellow billionaires, put this on each of their personal bluetooth headsets. When you're being driven in your Rolls Royce from your front door to your yacht, put this on. And most importantly, when you're kicking it in one of your drawing rooms while entertaining the President and his family, put this on (I know you're gonna dig this, First Lady).

As with every project I put out, there are bound to be tracks you love, tracks you hate, and tracks you're just scratching you're head at. IDGAF. This shit makes me feel rich. I put the tracks in a specific order so peep the tracklist in the .zip folder and get it right! I also included a .m3u file to make your lives easier. Double click that and it should automatically put the tracks in the right order in your media player. If it doesn't, either do it the old fashioned way or ask my man @TeamTakattack since he recommended creating the .m3u file in the first place. I imagine he knows how to make it work.

3. gorilla warfare tactics - "dark saber jedi" : brooklyn group that has a dope lyricist and smooth beats.

8. bishop nehru - "flow 1" : this kid is from rockland. yes, rockland. pay attention.

MIXTAPE: Pop Booties. Not Molly. Vol. 1.

Listen to the mixtape and dance like Yeezus

So in between mixtapes, TakAttack is the only person who demands more mixtapes. Everyone owes that guy a thank you card because I just put together a two hour mix for all of your outdoor activities this summer. ALL OF THEM. What I've created is a starting place for your guys' mixtapes. Take off and add what you like. Don't look at the tracklist below as a guideline for the tracklist order. It's just there so you know what I put on here. These songs are a sample of what I would spin if I had to DJ a party. What a crazy idea... me... DJing... The mixtape I put together has a mix of new, old, freestyles over familiar beats, remixes, and just feel good tunes. Now fire up that grill!

MIXTAPE: BLAU VOL.1

Since I haven't put out one of these suckers out in a while, I decided to go way back through the archives of my iTunes and dig up some gems. There's old shit! There's new shit! And as you can tell by now, the theme I blessed this mixtape was "hard hitting." Whether it's the beat, the lyrics, or what the song is about, these tracks will leave you with a black eye. Use this playlist to work out, rob people, lead rebellions, play CoD, or watch Monday Night Raw. Just make sure to get hype mofo!

1. Pharoah Monch - Simon Says: According to folklore, whenever this song came onto the speakers in a club, mad fights broke out. No kidding... 2. Flux Pavilion ft. Sway, P Money - Double Edge: Some dubstep for you fiends. I dig the further blending of genres these days though. 3. X-Ecutioners ft. M.O.P. - Let It Bang: One of the loudest emcees on the mic join some of the nastiest DJ's in Hip Hop. 4. Wu-Block - Stick Up Kids: This track flips a classic sample and adds some of the grimiest emcees your favorite rappers love. 5. Garcia ft. N.O.R.E. - 2 Gun Salute: Now known as P.A.P.I., N.O.R.E. joins Garcia (Winner of the Most Boring Rapper Name Ever), jumps on the most hype beat I've heard in ever. Seriously, this beat is dangerous. 6. Liva - Re-Up Gang Motivation: Remember the Re-Up Gang? Man, that group was awesome. 7. Dope Boy Esko ft. ill Camille - D.G.K.: I'm sure all of my white, suburban friends can relate. 8. Reek da Villain ft. Busta Rhymes, Lloyd Banks - Get Away Car Driving: These rhymes are pretty tough. 9. Slum Village ft. Rapper Big Pooh, Joe Scudda, T3 - Riot: I hate how much Slum Village isn't given shine on radio and mainstream media. These guys are so legit. 10. Dope Boy Esko ft. Kendrick Lamar, Scoe - Murda: Had to throw another Esko track on here because of the perfect West Coast gangbangin' beat. 11. Dag Savage - Twilight: I'll listen to almost anything Exile produces. Johaz holds it down on the mic. 12. The Underachievers - New New York: Part of the Beast Coast Movement, this duo is gonna be around for a while. Check out their new mixtape, Indigoism.  13. Raz Fresco & Chill Will - salmonILLA: Man, the Bakers Club's beats are a perfect homage to the Golden Era. And these guys make rapping about looking fly cooler than actually looking fly. 14. Chill Moody - Suicide Barz II: Kick it in the clutch music. 15. Bad Religion - Fuck You: Sometimes you gotta just say "Fuck You." 16. Timeless Truth ft. Sean Price - True Grit: RAW 17. Yahweh - Expensive $hit: Shout out to Andreas for showing me this group. Chitown, represent.  18. Paul Banks ft. High Prizm - Trace: So Paul Banks of Interpol made an instrumental/Hip Hop mixtape and called it Everybody On My Dick Like They Supposed To Be. Some of it is weird and some of it is dope. I'm just honestly confused as to who is on his dick, besides maybe his girlfriend. Or boyfriend. I don't know him like that. 19. Small Professor ft. Elzhi - A Remix I Did Of Deep By Elzhi: Elzhi has sick flows and this beat is bananas. Yes, the fruit. 20. Troy Ave ft. Pusha-T - Concrete Jungle: Token drug dealer track. 21. Reks ft. Kali, JFK, Termanology - Such A Showoff: It's like a punch in the throat from a velvet gloved fist. 22. Hollywood Holt ft. Million $ Mano - Tonite's Da Night Freestyle: Oooh, just wait until they get serious over this beat.

MIXTAPE: UNIT ANTHEMS

This one is a long time coming. From the day inhabitants of the Unit and its associates graduated, we've been talking about putting this together. Well, now that the universe is going to end (not really, guys), I guess it's time to put it out to finally close out my bucket list. Damn, I never got to drive that tank...

I'm not gonna include a tracklist because honestly, I'm lazy. There are about 4 hours of music in this one. Plus, if you don't know some of the songs, no offense, but this mixtape isn't for you. Every song on here has a story behind it (any Doors song), was played way too many times at Unit parties ("Marco Polo"), or sums up something about the time I spent there ("Fat Spliffs"). You may not have noticed it but I definitely played all of these songs at some point on my blown out speakers. You were probably just too fucked up to remember. Or maybe that one song you can't figure out why it's on there, is there because we were playing it on our shitty stereo in the kitchen while cleaning the mountains of dishes as a family/cooking Taco Tuesdays.

Yeah, there's a lot of Lil Wayne on here. Yeah, he used to be good at rapping. And yeah, that's an edited interview of Rick Ross on there that you probably heard us reference all the time. It's hilarious.

ALL YOUR DREAMS (click on them and make them come true, idiot)

Much love from the Unit and never take your shoes off inside.

MIXTAPE: Dope Crisis Vol.2

I'm pretty sure this is the first sequel to a mixtape I put out a while ago... Regardless, it feels like I haven't put a mixtape out of just shit I've been listening to on my iPod. Maybe I'll even put out a themed mixtape before the year is out. But don't hold your breathe. I'm also open to suggestions for mixtapes.

Disclaimer: Preserve the original tracklist order for best results.

MIXTAPE: NO MERCY VOL.2

Cheat to win

The 2012 London Summer Olympics have kicked off (did you watch that history lesson of an opening ceremony?) I know you're getting hyped for the US of A to kick some serious ass across the boards. AND I KNOW, that means you think you can train like an olympian. Whether that's true or not, what is true is that this humid, nasty weather (at least in the northeast) brings me down more than hearing about Ralph Lauren's mistake with our uniforms. So, to continue my workout mixtape series, here's NO MERCY VOL.2:

(Since I will now be using Dropbox, you have an option which way you wanna download it. To download the tracks just right click on each one and click Save Link As. Right click the image and click Save Image As for the cover. Or you can download the single .zip file which I'll leave for the long term, since I'll delete the folder with individual tracks eventually.)

1. the chant-noah caine: for those whose minds are uninitiated, this samples the soundtrack from Ghost in the Shell. perfect for a warm up track.
2. whatchu, want-slum village: phase two of your warm up. this is gritty. adrenaline flow shit.
3. reign that never falls-n.a.: first set. buck up.
4. american royalty-childish gambino, rza, hypnotic brass orchestra: mind over body. make your body impenetrable. so that makes your mind...
5. tour de roses anthem-theophilus london, bryan holder: kicks off the EDM songs on the mixtape and if the ancient greeks had EDM this is what it would sound like.
6. run cmd 2012-skrewtape, apollo the great, fickle: this is either your in between sets song or the start of your second set song. either way, don't lose sight of how jacked you're getting.
7. let's get down-wale, skrillex: wale continues his beat jacking with skrillex. you should continue with pumping iron.
8. automatic-pac div: stay sucka free. pay no attention to the other meatheads in the gym.
9. lighthouse (jj remix)-theophilus london: like 80's aerobic dance music? you're welcome.
10. express yourself-diplo, nicky da b: find your groove. express yourself.
11. bad girls (n.a.r.s. remix)-m.i.a., missy elliott, azealia, banks: where the hell has missy elliott been? a nice cast of femme-cees.
12. lemme go-deph naught, royce da 5'9", crooked i: detroit native gets some heavy hitters on this banger.
13. it's that beat (toxic avenger remix)-playdoe: playdoe=spoek mathambo+sibot. playdoe=other world jams that get you moving like you can actually dance.
14. made you look (remix)-nas, jadakiss, ludacris: takin it back to something that always got me on edge. in a great way.
15. mshini wam-spoek mathambo: this guy is making waves from south africa. "b-f-g. that's big fuckin gun."

20. lp surprise-large professor: feels so good. you're a new you. for the drive home. or the sprint home.

MIXTAPE: Don't Eat Me Bro!

You ready for the zombie apocalypse?

Recent events in national news have brought to my attention the very real threat of a zombie apocalypse. As much as everyone who is remotely cool has been wanting this since he or she has heard of a zombie, there's a lot to be done before we can safely say we're prepared. First step? Stock up on Twinkies and whiskey. Second step? DOWNLOAD THIS (remember, it's the blue download link in the blue box).

I put a lot of different vibes on this one. Similar to my spring playlist, put this mofo on random and see what you dig/hate. I figured that people like to rock out to different kinds of music while peeling the wigs back on zombies. Don't wanna hear anything smooth till after the carnage? That's why you have the whiskey to put on the rocks while tracks like "The Recipe (remix)" is playing.

Also, people, if there are things you really like about these mixtapes or things you can't stand, let me know in the comments section. Otherwise, spread the good word and help others responsibly get ready for Zombieland. The best thing about good music is sharing it!

(The survival kit in the mixtape artwork is for sale in one convenient package)

MIXTAPE: It's nice out...fuckit.

Man, don't you love this weather? Man, don't you hate saying that everyday that it's nice and not do anything about it?

HERE. TRY THIS MIXTAPE. 

 And remember, don't click on this link or any of the other colored and pretty download links:

 

 You want this one:

 

You're welcome.

This is definitely a different kind of mixtape from the ones I've made in the past. The two biggest differences: 1) There is no particular order. In fact, I want need you to hit random/shuffle on whatever you use to play music (shout out to people still using Windows Media Player. I don't know why you do it but I feel your pain. Winamp is cool though.) and just let it roll. 2) It's two hours long. I was so tempted to make it three hours. Why didn't I? I have a life too. Or what I like to call a life. I promise to release a longer summer playlist.

This mixtape was put together to mainly just sit back with some friends and talk sweet nothings to each other. Outside. It's mainly some chill a$$ songs but there are some club bangers in there to get you pumped for pregaming for the night. Watch out! So without further ado, crack open a beer (or that handle if you're into that kind of stuff) and celebrate the last spring you'll ever have. #nevertooearlytostartpartying #nevertoolatetostartpartying #2012partytoendallparties #yourecool #imout

One thing I would like to request from you guys, despite the lack of a playlist order: Put the "Dean and Frank's Interlude" first. It's just a nice little way to start it all off. Also, the mixtape artwork is in the folder. Don't miss it.

PS: Happy birthday all the way out to Liz!

No Mercy Vol. 1

Here's the deal with this mixtape: A somebody special asked me to make another one of my highly sought after workout mixes to help him/her get swoll to. I obliged. I took a different approach with this one by throwing in the more upbeat electronic music with the Hip Hop and some rock. I alternated them instead of sectioning them out in the playlist because it gave a better flow to it in the sense of mixing in different energy levels. Because when you're working out there are definitely points where you need more motivation and big beats than other points. Also this is the kind of stuff that makes me "feel like I'm cumming"** in and outside the gym, on or off the track.

NO MERCY VOL. 1 (remember it's the blue download link in the blue box)

1. horsepower: solid start. the tone is dark enough to set some crazy goals like benching 100 lbs. more than you can imagine and yet grounding to help you realize you'd die if you did that.
2. take the power back: don't let those meat heads in the gym feel like they're the only ones with power.
3. black aura: make that stank face and keep pushing through.
4. the stroke: or the pump. this song has been a huge source of samples for hip hop. you best recognize.
5. originator: i don't care if you hate dubstep. this song will make you want to jump over buildings then go back and knock them down with your head.
6. gucci gucci: i was hesitant to put this on here but it's nice to hear someone attempt at actually rapping over this beat. the beat is too good to pass up. you know you want to feel like a baller, shot caller, in the gym with this blasting.
7. the way she moves: mustard pimp remixing a south rakkas crew joint? MASSIVE.
8. not even jets can fly: dyme def makes so many types of hip hop. and this certainly is motivating to say the least.
9. city kids: yeah, mustard pimp is on this playlist twice. yeah, he's that good.
10. beats to rhyme: mick boogie released a run d.m.c. project that remixed some classics with new mc's rapping over them. this is a standout track.
11. jump on stage: one of the few girl talk tracks i can handle. it just so happens to have that vibe to help you run for days.
12. dead meat: near the end of the playlist. finish strong.
13. city star: funny how this is one of my favorite wiz songs. this should inspire you to celebrate after a long workout.
14. the city: you can either use this as a cool down track or the final push in your workout. kendrick lamar never disappoints.

Just in time for the holidays

I hope this mixtape finds you well. Merry Christmas and a happy new year! And if you don't celebrate Christmas, happy whatever! This is just a collection of more dope music that's been hitting my ears as of late, and I thought you'd enjoy it as well. Hopefully I'll post a list of the best songs and projects this year before the end of December. Till then, pop this baby into your iPod or Zune (do they even make those still?), and try to forget about the day you have to go back to work/school/sobriety.

(scroll down and click on the blue download button near the bottom, not the green one)

1. bonus-que b.i.l.l.a.h.: seems like everybody's got a damn acronym in their name now. at least this dude makes good music to distract you from trying to figure it out. this track is off Bird Shit (and if you're a good person you have this already). i mainly put it on because of the madness that went down over the new jordans countrywide due to sneakerheads that just had to have them at ALL COSTS.
2. rack city freestyle-wale + black cobain: i literally waited for wale to jump on this when i heard tyga ruin the crazy beat. i'm pretty sure i like beatjacking wale way more than album wale. kinda like weezy... i just hope he doesn't end up in the same sad state... fast forward on cobain's verse and you won't miss much.
3. all of the above-notes to self: canadia represents with this hip hop/art collective. definitely excited to hear more from these guys.
4. mobb shhh-cam'ron + vado: damn boss of all bosses 3 is that good. i always thought vado was gonna be solid. and cam'ron delivers as well. harlem nigg* with more sponsors than a rutgers court... ignorant but militant.
5. play the part-leedz edutainment, torae, al-j, akrobatik: boston label put a very dope free album together and this is definitely a stand out track.
6. sinister kids freestyle-mayday!: track off of the black keys new album + mayday? sign me up.
7. piece-blu, choice 37: blu + a korean producer? double sign me up.
8. hoodlums and crooks-sav killz, spit supreme: bought this mixtape off the man himself (sav killz) in union square for $5. definitely worth more though.
9. champion of life-jon connor: connor continues to convince me that he is the truth. something about his delivery makes me believe the struggle that is his life. oh, and his flow is ridiculous.
10. on my own-consequence + kid cudi: i know cons has his haters but i focus on the music. and so does he apparently because of tracks like this. i'm curious to see what mescudi's next album, wzrd, is gonna be like. please, oh please, don't let it be like wayne's rock album (whatever it's called) and half of yeezy's 808's and hearbreaks.
11. paraphernalia (get away from the radio)-the kid daytona + iFFy the badman: ok so ALL white girls may not break your heart but NY spitter kid daytona will break you in half if you step to him. lyrically that is. or maybe with fists. i don't know the dude. but i know his skills.
12. ghetto dope-aleon craft + george clinton: if you don't know who george clinton is, it's because you actually do. off the remix project of aleon craft's past songs.
13. masonic vocals-planet asia + madlib: can you go wrong with these two? cracks in the vinyl is definitely a chiller album but very smooth. like scotch that comes in a fancy box and you can't pronounce the name without feeling pretentious in all the right ways.
14. set me free-tito lopez: i love when mc's sample old songs with the right feel to it. this is no exception.

Stick Up Muzik Vol.1

so whether it's the cold weather making me feel raw as fuck or the new roots album undun (buy NOW), i decided to make a concept mixtape. but the concept is not about some imaginary character in my head. it's a character in your head. since obviously the same artist didn't do all of these songs you make up the story! anyway, i've wanted to make a mixtape for a while that you could literally play throughout a night of mayhem, whether it's robbing someone or straight up murking someone (yeah, i'm on my kid cudi maniac tip). this mix focuses around a robbery. it's starts off slow to get the night going. i imagine encourage some drinking and a spliff. then it gets your blood pumping right up to the robbery (track 14). then from there it's easy riding to pretend like nothing happened and straight balling out if you want at the clubs. take it how you want. i hope the story makes sense in your heads because it did in mine. and for you technologically challenged ones: the download link is right below this paragraph. everything you could possibly want is in that folder. after you unzip that mofo.

1. riley-juicy j: produced by none other than lex luger (i swear this guy has beats coming out his ass). off that new blue dream and lean mixtape which is some grimey shit. i have to say this shit right here=guilty pleasure and idgaf if you hate.
2. hey dj-juan deuce + falside: perfect way to get in the mischief mode a la kubrick swag.
3. manute bol-the black opera: the mysterious black opera strikes again. and this time with news of a mixtape coming out soon. i don't care how broke you are. you will buy it when it comes out. i want to commit unspeakable crimes whenever i listen to the black opera.
4. off with their heads-chuuwee: off chuuwee's watching the throne mixtape. very dope mixtape.
5. spit game-big remo + skyzoo: some amazing word play right cheeeer.
6. tornado-stevie crooks: west coast continues to produce amazing hip hop. his VLNS NVR DIE mixtape is definitely worth a peep.
7. wait for it-los: as tired as i am of the whole crown/throne metaphor in hip hop, los pumps some life into it with his the crown aint safe mixtape. it's like shawn chrystopher's beat got amped off crank and the lyrics doubled in number and depth.
8. still flexin'-pac div: reminds me of nas' flyest angels beat. this single came out before their latest album.
9. count em'-fam-lay: i really want fam-lay to come out with more material. he has so much potential and i don't know why def jam didn't keep him on their roster.
10. township rebellion-rage against the machine: how can you have a mixtape about going buckwild without rage? this is found off their self-titled demos album, filled with some classic hits and earlier shit found nowhere else. the quality isn't great but in my mind, it matches the rawness that is rage.
11. black aura-the glitch mob + theophilus london: dirty dirty beats meets pretty boy fashion. doesn't make sense to me either but london does the beat justice.
12. bonfire (dirty danny remix)-childish gambino: yo fuck you pitchfork for giving glover's album a 1.6 out of 10. contrived ass no good punks who think they know music. dirty danny makes me appreciate childish all over again. in a filthy way.
13. city star (skratch bastid blend)-rustie + wiz khalifa: i don't like wiz very much (again, mad props to signing juicy j the other day), but this song goes. rustie's city star was dope and then skratch bastid had to go and make it doper.
14. robbery-rza: by now your heart rate should be off the charts. let rza calm your nerves and keep you chilled out as you get what's yours.
15. ill figures (remix)-raekwon, m.o.p., kool g rap: what an amazing roster for this track. i'll shut up now.
16. really raw-tyga, pharrell, game, snoop dogg: this is a cheers to the spoils you've robbed in the night. also, if you know me, you know how long i've had lil b as my ringtone. the chorus of this song is now my new ringtone. nuff said.
17. cirque du soleil-action bronson + statik selektah: statik's production is always on point. and add the mastermind of bronson and you're good to go. off the album well-done (which is also well worth your money)
18. i know now-saigon: never forget about saigon. ever.
19. here ye, here ye-t.i., pharrell: one of my favorite tracks from post prison t.i.
20. mayday & chardonnay freestyle-wrekonize: as the night winds down, so is your adrenaline level. pop bottles! sidenote: i will always put a wrekonize freestyle on a mixtape. always. he has a knack to destroy beats that were not his. i was over this beat but then wrekonize reminds me why i wasn't.
21. demigodz is back-the demigodz: epic outro to an epic night. till next time.
