I’ve just been listening to this mix and thought that some of you would appreciate it. DJ Might Mi (Smut Peddlers) and Shecky Green (co-founder of the The Source magazine) drop a two hour session of golden era hip hop. “So what” I hear you say, lot’s of people do these kinds of mixes, why is this one any better?
Well, apart from it feeling like it was actually recorded 15 years ago, the track selection is top notch with a good number of forgotten gems thrown in, and the mix choices of instrumental and acapella kept my interest throughout. But the cream of the crop has to be the Juice Crew vs Wu-Tang section. On paper it sounds like it should be awful, but some of these mash ups work exceptionally well. If only the radio was still like this….
