Statik Selektah: The Look of Love [Hip Hop Is Alive]

People sometime ask me what I’m listening to. As I was grocery shopping through Wal-mart today, this mixtape is what I was listening to. When I was done, I knew I had to share it with those that haven’t heard it yet. Statik Selektah and Q-Tip put this mixtape out in 2007 as a tribute to J Dilla. This mixtape is Hip Hop in the truest form. If anyone wants to know what I listen to, this is what I listen to. I never skip a track and normally I hate mixtapes, cuz the DJ be shouting all over it. Statik mixes this joint right and keeps the voice overs to a minimum. This is probably my favorite mixtape of all time. If you don’t have it, download it. If you do have it, take a listen to it tonight and tell me I’m wrong.
