HAPPY BELATED HOLIDAZE

The_Vinylcologist-All_The_Fixins_Vol._5-2012-UC



The annual mixtape, which usually features a nice mix of my favorite tracks of the year and some unheard exclusives. This isn't one of those mixtapes that you find on Datpiff, or DJBooth amongst the flood of wackness and watered down junk. This is a REAL mixtape, you know, like the ones no one makes anymore. Yeah, well I still do what I've been doing for years. I make these not only for myself and my fans and true followers, but also to pay homage to the great music that has or hasn't dropped. The delay on this was inevitable due to edits and things that were beyond my control. If you have been following the series, you know ATF usually drops on Thanksgiving. Special thanks to De La Soul for comin thru and hooking it up for me. Much more to come in 2013. Stay tuned and don't get caught slippin.

Notorious_BIG-Summer_Jam_Meltdown-199?-UC



Here is a hilarious video that surfaced of BIG tossing a bottle at Big Kap for fuckin up his set more than a few times. Lil Cease catches a case of the giggles n shit too. I'd have to do the same thing if that shit was me.



Notorious_BIG-Awards_Party_(03.09.97)-UC


While we are looking at rare videos... this video was just released and was recorded hours before Biggie's death. A ton of cameos and shout outs in this video. It seemed like everyone was in Vegas that weekend.



Arsonists-Freestyle_(Live_at_Fatbeats)-2000-UC


Yet another rare video I came across in my recent travels. Stillwell Q kills this shit, shouts to the whole ASF crew. Talks of a reunion album in the works are fluttering. I also know for a fact that there is a slew of unreleased OG Arsonist's tracks from when the recorded "As The World Burns". This was one of the the things we spoke about when I kicked it with Q a few months back. Props to RSC as well.


Till the next time. Merry Chrismahanaqwaznika.

ZOO LOO NATION

The classic VHS mixtape released by Zoo York skateboard company back in '97. This has recently been brought up to today's standards. Obviously that does not mean BlueRay, but the video definitely is clearer and looks much better than the OG copy. This was the first time many of us true hip hop fans got to see any footage of those great freestyles from the Stretch and Bob show at KCR. If you were lucky enough to have been a skateboarder, or happen to know one back then, you probably watched this video. If not, then sit back and enjoy some tricks and verses that Lil' Wayne still can't fuck with. This set the precedent for some of the newer styles of recording skateboarding videos, and was followed by everyone from Lance Mountain (411VM) to Tony Hawk (Birdhouse's - The End).

The_Vinylcologist_X_Treeshurts-Dutch_Masters-2012-UC


Physical copies of the official CD with artwork will be available soon with the tracks split up and maybe a few adjustments. There was just too much going on in the past few weeks with them dropping of new Treeshurts, planning the 4th 420 show, and me doing mixes for various other websites I also work with. I wanted to give it to people anyway to chill and vibe out to today even if the actual copies weren't pressed. The physicals will be linked to a package deal that will only be found at www.treeshurts.com when they are released. These DJ oriented packages will be limited to 100 and will not be re-released once they are cashed. This is a timeless mix of great smoking songs that includes everything from rare gems to well known anthems. Enjoy all and follow us on twitter @unitedcrates and @treeshurts Peace and Trees. Tell them Vinyl sent ya.

...and while we're on the topic of blue. Here are a few more "blue" releases I had in the stash. Remember folks...I put these out there for listening purposes. Not so all you producers can get lazy and start raping the entire release. Most of these have been taken by producers that actually matter, so try not to be that guy that isn't doing anything original. As Paula Deen would say, everything is good in moderation.

Pete_Rock-Diggin_On_Blue-1999-UC


This one is a classic but rather rare mixtape by Pete Rock that I've been revisiting a bit again lately. For some odd reason this fantastic mix was strictly limited to a Japan release where it was available on cassette and CD via EMI's Toshiba label in 1999. Now be warned that this is not your average hip-hop mixtape and is certainly not for everyone. The project is sort of Pete Rock's way of paying tribute to the jazz legends whose music he grew up on and would inspire him to become one of the best hip-hop producers the world has ever seen. As the title suggests the 16 tracks picked by Pete for this mix all comes from the Blue Note catalouge, one of the most succesful and famous jazz labels there ever was. These artists and songs have inspired hip-hop artists for decades, and many of them have been used in sample form to create new timeless classics by groups like A Tribe Called Quest, Gang Starr, D.I.T.C. and of course Pete Rock himself.

Between this and Madlib's "Shades Of Blue" (2003) these type of releases are one of the best ways for a hip-hop head to break into the incredible music known as jazz. The two genres shares alot of common ground and not at all exclusively through the sampling of old jazz records. I often say that the guys who rocked the jazz scene back in those days, would be the same guys doing hip-hop if they were born in this day and age. Matter of fact, I wouldn't be suprised if someone like Dilla actually was John Coltrane reincarnated. So even if you don't listen to jazz, at least take some time out to check out Pete Rock on the wheels of steel. Who knows, maybe you'll dig this shit alot more than you would expect?

Included in the actual CD package were a few rare pics from the '99 recording session and an interview with Pete Rock about his fascination with these artists and their music, the Blue Note catalouge and his motives behind putting this mix together. You can check out all that right here @ Discogs.
