DJ_Total_Eclipse-The_J_Tape-2012-UC


Total Eclipse of the legendary X-ecutioners drop this J Dilla mashup mix. Mostly Dilla beats with other acapellas, breaks and some straight Jay Dee tracks. You could call it a blend CD I guess. I was chatting back and forth on Twitter for hours with him about BMX bikes and it had me laughing thinking how even back then status was based on what kind of bike you were rocking. Fun times, but even better times when I listened to this CD. Straight murdered it as usual. Not too sure what the prognosis is on the rest of The X-ecutioners, but Rob Swift has stayed steady releasing mixtapes and hopping on peoples projects from time to time. Some of the best DJ's to ever own a set of decks.

Here's a fire ass Apathy mixtape I found. I know most of you checking this blog, love you some hard cracker rap, so i figured I'd share it. There are a ton of classic Ap freestyles on here as well as a few new joints. Honestly, I think this it's just a comp someone threw together, but it's cool enough to be called a mixtape. Apathy is one of the best white rappers on the planet. Yes, I said it.

Run_DMC-Tougher_Than_Leather-FULL_MOVIE-1988-UC


Legendary hip-hop group Run-D.M.C. stars in this cross between a blaxploitation film and a spaghetti western. They must find and punish the evil drug lord-record company executive who murdered their friend. Along the way, they encounter racist bikers, blonde bimbos, and the Beastie Boys! Most of you youngins never even knew this existed till now, so pay homage and do some more homework.

-Your DJ friend that is always bringing it back.

OOOOOOH BIFF!

The new Nike Air "Mag" limited to 1500 pair and modeled around the shoe from the all time classic, Back To The Future II. The idea is dope but they do look like a pair of Yeezy 2's. People have a better chance at an orgy scoring three beautiful women every time they go out, before they will score a pair of these. 150 pairs per day will be auctioned on eBay tomorrow September 8th with net proceeds going to the Michael J. Fox Foundation…Good Luck.

...and if you are in need of something to rock with it.

Moet and Kase 2 (RIP) collaborated to make a bunch of T-shirts for a 2010 fundraiser at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Nearly 25 years since Style Wars first excited viewers, the film’s negative stock is beginning to decay and we are hoping to raise enough money to preserve it for future generations of artists and writers. Several shirts were left over and the BAM event info was added on the back. Kase 2 received a cut of the proceeds and he kept one of the ‘hoodies’.

GOONIES NEVER SAY DIE

Necro-Sorcerer_of_Deaths_Construction-2011-UGHH

Love him or hate him, Necro is still one of the most dominant forces in underground hip hop today. It's hard to believe that it's approaching the 10 year anniversary of "Gory Days". I remember getting that as a stocking stuffer from my girl who is now my wife. When your girl buys you anything Necro, you better wife her. That instrumental album is still a favorite of mine and the artwork to this day cannot be touched. Salute the original goon of hip hop buy hitting his store and copping something fresh. Follow him on twitter as well for special sales on his merchandise.

Apathy-Check_to_Check-2011-DG

Ever since back when he was with Demigodz, Apathy has always had the drive to improve his music and his fanbase. 10 years later his music is more popular than ever and I'm glad to see that the tables are turning toward the underground this year. What is also great is that he isn't afraid to take chances on adding new producers to the line up.
Apathy's new album is fire as well... cop it and be amazed. Click the banner.


I bought mine on vinyl, how bout you?

HIGH ATE US

I am proud to announce that I have obtained, quarantined, and tortured the virus that was fucking up my computer. Took me a week or so to actually get everything under control. I apologize for making you wait for all this new shit I'm about to drop.

I Know You Got Soul.

Can't wait to peep this shit and the new Tribe Doc.

I'm beginning to think that true hip hop in general is alive and well.
Great releases you should most definitely should cop.

This is just a taste of all the shit that has been dropping this year. It's even hard for me to keep up and I stay atop the game. Few new mixtapes coming shortly.

Book of Rhymes

I always loved being a DJ , and producer and comparing myself with the people in the game that I respect. With this being said, I am officially announcing my resignation from writing and rapping. (I know you all really give a shit, almost). I've always preached to everyone that I was a DJ first, a Producer second, and lastly an Emcee, just for fun. A few years back when I started working on the Jack and Vinyl mixtape there was a void in Hip Hop for me. I felt like everyone was putting out decent material, but there really was no one writing anything that I could actually relate to. I wasn't living it up in the Hamptons, buying the latest Gucci threads, Doing sold out shows, or pushing a brand new Benzo like all the 'other' people out there. On an underground level, I wasn't working with the dope artistsi had access to, or even trying to link or pay for a verse from someone fresh. I always felt that it was a total waste of time, money and effort. So I decided to take things into my own hands and start taking writing seriously. After all, I've heard just about everything...from underground to commercial, new to old, and big guys to little guys....I surely can have an impact with some of the stupid thoughts cruzing around in my brain. Bottom line... writing is fun, but it does nothing for me for to try to be something I'm not. I asked myself the other day....if you had the opportunity to become one of the biggest rappers on the planet would you want to be that guy. Honestly, other than the money, I would never want to be that person. Main reason is because I'm not any good at it. The lines may be cool and shit and what I speak is real, (can't say that for most emcees) but I'm such a better DJ and Producer than I am an Emcee. Not to mention that I rarely perform or even try to go out to shows. Part of me feels that the best music always comes out of the studio. I like to show up to show support for my friends and to see them perform. Just don't ask me to perform. Call me what you want, (studio emcee, hermit, hypocrite) but be sure to call me honest. Let's face it...the reason that anyone (especially hip hop artists) out there creates a separate entity of themselves, is because they obviously weren't happy just being themselves. I'm cool with being myself, but becoming "the vinylcologist" give me my independence. It took me some time and I've pretty much created a brand that will settle for nothing less then excellent if my name is attached to it. In the past year alone I dropped more music then people do in a career. the crazy thing is, out of all the music I dropped, I liked the stuff that I wasn't rapping on the best. That's why this was an easy decision for me.

There are a few features I am currently buttoning up before its completely wrapped up. Then it's more blogging, djing, and producing. I also don't want to be the same as every other fuckin joe goin, "oh yeah, i'm a rapper" There's too many rappers, and not enough good ones. You assholes gave all the good ones a bad stereotype. Once people have horrible food at a place, you can't expect them to come back.

I'd rather put nothing out, than put out something that isn't timeless.
on a side note....
There is tons of great music coming out right now and the void of boredom with the music industry that I was trying to fill is flourishing right now. 2011 will be a historic year in hip hop.

Now on to the other shit you really want.

Doo_Wop-80's_Baby's_Blends-2011-UC

This new Doo Wop joint features classic acapellas from Nas, Jay, and BIG over some vintage breaks. Definitely dope to add to the collection....that and Doo Wop is a mixtape legend.
