This Is Hip Hop Remixtape Vol 2: The 90s

For 13 weeks over the summer of 2008 producers, DJs, and beatmakers from all over the world came to This Is Hip Hop for the 90s edition of the This Is Hip Hop Remix Contest.  Each week, remixers had one week to produce a beat that matched the acapella that was provided in the contest.  The acapellas were taken from 90s era hip hop; an era that many of us hold close to our hearts.  Everyone brought their A-game and proved that there is so much more talent out there than what you hear on the radio today.  For three out of the 13 weeks we switched things up and had a sample stipulation.  The remixers were give the acappella for the week and an artist that they had to sample.  These can be heard in tracks 2, 3, and 9.  In addition to that, we had a tag team week where the remixers had to team up with one another to collaborate on a remix.  The end result had Dutchmasters & Tokyo Cigar forming Black Tobacco on track 7.  The contest was both fun for the remixers, as well as difficult for the judges because there were so many great beats.  Unfortunately, there could only be one winner each week.  The winners have been compiled here in the This Is Hip Hop Remixtape: The 90s.

Feel free to pass this mixtape around and share with your friends.  If you are really feeling the production behind these tracks, make sure you hit up the remixers at their MySpace pages to congratulate them.

I would personally like to thank the following people who assisted in judging the contest.  Without them, this contest would not have been successful:
