Selections from Martini & Jopparelli

Next up we have the inspiration for this guest post extravanza, Martini & Jopparelli, straight from Italy. They come consistent with good material and share the same taste in musical selections, a little bit of everything; and being that I'm part Italian, you know I got mad love for my peoples overseas. They blessed me an exclusive mix, sample, and some kind words, enjoy...

This comes straight from Italy to USA, crossing the Atlantic ocean and stopping alongside the New Jersey coast. Yes…right there, where the Water gets really Dirty. All this kilometres/miles to deliver nuff respect to one of the best bloggers out there. If you are regular of this page, you know perfectly well what I am talking about! To cut it short: we are really proud to participate to your 1 year anniversary celebration with something made by us in an exclusive way for your blog birthday.

That’s it from M&J, now let IlMago introduce his work, we hope you will like it. Check also his One Love remix. (Sorry for this subliminal advertise)

This is a little tribute to one of my favourite mcs, member of one of my favourite rap duo. It's a pleasure to be hosted on your blog, I really dig your work.

To be honest it's my first experiment with what I think can be defined as 'trill music', but I tried not to sound too much crunk ;-).

The main sample for this beat is from Roy Hamilton "Crackin' Up Over You", but the tune also contains some drum breaks from Tyrone Davis 'It's All In The Game'.

The guy screaming 'Magic Johnson' is the all time number one Basketball commentator : Dan Peterson. He is also one of the greatest coaches ever, here in Italy. He taught Mike D'Antoni how to play, so if the Knicks will get some rings in the next years... you know who's responsible.

Thanx for the hospitality Mr. Nes... keep on digging!

Gotta say peace to the Celtics on their win over the Lakers, as much as I don't like both teams, the Celtics had a really good lineup this year and I'm glad to see Garnett with a title..

DJ Blueprint's Dirty Water Mix...

This next guest to post I am most excited to have come aboard for a spot. DJ Blueprint from This is Tomorrow blessed me with a mix he did personally for dirty waters. He's been having trouble with his internet connection and is in the middle of relocating, but found time to put together this really dope mix and I am most appreciative. He even included a tracklist for all, a nice mix of soul/funk and hip hop. I really have to give it up to Blueprint and his knowledge of records. Blueprint has tons of great mixes on his blog as well as a lot of guest mixes, including one from your boy Nes. Everything from soul, funk, raggae, hip hop, can be found on his site, highly recommended... get a taste from this mix here, enjoy...

Halftime Big Playback

This is a treat for all you fans of the older (80's and early 90's) hip hop. The Halftime Show used to do Ego Trip nights dedicated to the older stuff, and this might be the second or third installment of those shows. You get a nice blend of old school gems along with a little history lesson in the mix.

You'll hear a good 60 minutes from DJ Riz and DJ Eclipse with special guests including the writers of the 'Ego Trip's Big Book of Rap Lists', promoting the book which just came out in stores (a really good book). Also in the studio they had MC Mitch-ski who put out 'Brooklyn Blew up the Bridge' a record dissing MC Shan and Marley Marl during the KRS-One Vs MC Shan battle that was going on back then. During their live interview Mitch-Ski explains how the record came about and follows with a freestyle. Enjoy...

Nighttrain

Here are two old WKCR Nighttrain shows from 1999. This is when DJ Eli and crew hosted. I ripped these on request and wasn't planning on posting, but I'm throwing out all kinds of rips for the celebration so here you go. For those who remember the show had a run in the late 90's on Tuesday nights 1-5am. Lot of good samples on these, there may be a few pause edits but not that many. Enjoy...




March 1999

Sometime in 1999

Trees anyone?

Next up on the guest post is my boy Josh from Tree Beats, which always has some good writing, good music, and good humor. He's been putting in a lot of work this past year with his blog as well as his excellent conceptual site in IHABU (I hook up a beat). The site calls for a group of producers (anyone is welcome) to sample a record to and compete among other producers to claim braggin writes, or just showcase. The site has changed addresses but remained the same, so all of you producers be sure and check it out, some pretty good competition, including the man running it...

Somehow Nes thought it would not be a bad idea for me to do a guest post. For this I thank him and apologize to the rest of you for having to read this, I will not be offended if you scroll down to the download link. So, I was trying to figure out what to post and doubted that many of you enjoy Saxon's "Power and the Glory" as much as I do, so I went with a little dopeocity in the form of Uneasy Listening Volume 1 from the charming DJ Z-Trip and the barely known DJ P.


Some people like Mash-up. Some people don't. Some people call it bastard pop. Some people are bastards. The fact of the matter is, if you like DJ's you've probably been here before and didn't get here doing a google search "Kim+Kardashian+boobs" or "rare+Kenny+Loggins." The other fact of the proverbial matter is Uneasy Listening isn't really a mash up. It is a lot of songs that on paper look ridiculous. Exhibit A: Kansas' along side LL.(I guess Rick Rubin technically). Exhibit B: Bruce Hornsby skipping down the center of an misspelled atom with Run DMC. The exhibits continue with Pat Benatar making out with The Pharcyde and Rush and The Beastie Boys robbing a 7-11 (I made that part about them robbing a convenience store up). And you look at this and say "why the fuck would I want to listen to this?" Fair question. The reason is they put these songs together so well that you say "oh that's dope" and "that's some funny shit" and "these dudes are fucking brilliant" in succession more than once. There were only 1000 copies made and this rip comes from on of the original copies. Not only that, it was handed to me from Senior Trip himself. Not only that, he was DJing the wedding I was the best man in. Not only that, but Doze did a mural at the reception while Z-Trip spun. That's some dope shit man. You can't front. Enjoy and Happy B-day dunny.
