diggin-wide

Never in the history of mixtapes has a project like this come to fruition, or even been conceived. 8 out of 10 DJ’s in the Diggers Union Local 1200 camp ( Hevehitta, DJ Unexpected, DJ Rob Shock, Scratchmasta Jazzy G, DJ Osk, DJ Casper, DJ Crazy Chris & DJ Showtime) combine for 67 tracks of music history. From remixes to rare demos to breaks only Afrika Bambaata knows about, rest assure the CD is nothing less than historical. Since everyone is apparently trying their hand at playing “old school” on their mixtapes, ignore the rest and adore the best! Enjoy and be educated!

    Wow for something that has been so hyped up as ‘nothing less than historical’
    Was pretty average! Didn’t really pay too much attention to timing (jimi hendrix track)
    And tuning (Diana Ross track)
    And then they really brought the wackness with that 2pac track sounding like some cunt had done on Garageband!

    best part of the cd is the breaks for me thanks diggers union

  • phil

    co sign mugs.
    throw around phrases like ‘nothing less than historical’ at your own risk.
    this mix is average, some parts (after track 40 mostly) are good but a lot of it is weak and some of it is terrible.

  • dj terror don

    I AGREE WITH PHIL AFTER TRACK 40 IT GETS BETTER CAUSE EVERYTHING B4 IS KINDA WEAK
