You all may remember 16 Bars from his Canadian Gangster remix album. He was also featured on my American Gangster: Best of The Remixes, Vol. 1 for the “Roc Boys” remix. Well, he’s back with a new production and it’s hot!
This track is called “Swag” and features Kardinal Offishal, Pusha T (from The […]

SmokeYYY from That Real Ish has a weekly series that he does called Thursday’s Throwback. He hit me up last week and asked if I’d be willing to do a guest post. I said, “Sure, why not?”. I was pretty excited about the opportunity, since I consider myself old school. There […]

To coincide with today’s Thursday Throwback, I thought it’d be cool to compile the original samples used in this legendary album. LL Cool J’s Mama Said Knock You Out brings back a ton of memories for me. Released on September 18, 1990, I had just started my sophomore year in high school. […]

Yesterday I got on a rant and called out a few blogs for posting redundant information. I just want it to be known that it was not my intention to cause any ill-will. I guess I was just in a rut… it happens. Everybody’s doing their thing in hip hop and in […]

Not much to post today, unless I do like every other blog out there and post the same video and news reports that everyone has been posting this week. Which leads me to my first wonder…Why does every hip hop blog post the same stuff as the others on a consistent basis? At […]

Got a few more remixes coming through. Thanks to Jordan from Thick Magazine who hooked me up with these first two!
Round 98
I think I got a new favorite right here!! How many time’s have I said that? But for real, this whole album is smooth! You all are really gonna like these […]

I know I’m a little late on these two mixes, but I just got a hold of both of them and thought they were worth sharing. Enjoy!
This first mix is a whole ‘nother take on the American Gangster remixes. Quincey Tones took the original samples that were used to make Jay-Z version, flipped […]

You all may remember an artist that I did a spotlight on a few months ago named Malicious (AKA Mr. Malish). Hot off the release of his debut album Music Starts With M, Malish drops a freestyle over Alicia Keys’ “No One”. Check the link below and make sure you go out and […]

I gotta thank the peeps on this blog that turned me onto 100dBs & Ryan O’Neil’s album that came out last year. Although I just heard it for the first time a few weeks ago, I’ve been rockin’ it consistently.
Anyway, it just so happened that 100dBs hit me up on MySpace earlier today. He told […]

Peeps are trying to get their American Gangster remixes in before the end of the week, so I got a huge update for you all right here. I’ll actually be glad when this weeks over… it took me 2 hours to put this post together!
Round 95
This first one is actually one that I feel […]

You all may remember a video I posted about a week ago from this up and coming artist out of Tennessee named CP. Well, I had the opportunity of getting an interview with him earlier this week.
This Tennessee rapper/producer who originally hails from New Jersey is one of the most humblest, sincerest persons I’ve […]

Attention all Beatmakers / DJs / Producers / Remixers!
We are almost a month into 2008 and these American Gangster remixes are getting old. It’s time to start something new! If there’s one thing that I learned from listening to all those American Gangster remix albums, it’s that there is a ton of […]

We got a few more American Gangster remixes coming through today. Before we get started though, I’m tossing around the idea of starting up a monthly contest over here. The details haven’t been worked out yet, but I was thinking of throwing up some acapellas at the 1st of the month for producers […]

We have the debut video of Molemen Records newest artist Astonish. The 22 yr. old rapper coming from Chicago is releasing his debut album Feb. 26, 2008. With his debut album being produced by the Molemen (MF Doom, Slug, Aesop Rock, Saigon, Murs, Capital D, Cormega, Juice, Vakill, Rasco, Planet Asia, Rhymefest), Naledge (Kidz in […]

Seems like there’s a lot of drama going on over at HipHopDX concerning their American Gangster remix contest. Head on over there and read the comments to see what’s going on. We all have our favorites and many of us disagree on their top 10, but I know it was tough for them to go […]

If you’ve paid attention to both my American Gangster compilations, it’s easy to see which remix albums were my favorites. Previously, I did a spotlight on American Beatmaker producer MIDIMarc. This week I had the opportunity to catch up with American Clapster producer DJ SoulClap. Hailing out of Kiel, Germany, you can […]

Kevin and I thought it’s about time that we open some minds and hit you with some European Hip Hop. First of all, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Carsten and I’m straight outta the beautiful city of Dortmund, Germany. Born in 1988, I first came in touch with hip hop in ‘97 […]

And I thought this site has received a lot of American Gangster remix albums… HipHopDX has reportedly received close to 130 remix albums for their American Gangster Remix contest! The contest, which ended on December 31, 2007, is nearing it’s final stages now with HipHopDX narrowing it down to the top 10 contenders.
Now the vote […]

If there’s one thing that I’ve learned from listening to all these American Gangster remixes, it’s that there is a lot of great talent coming out of Canada. Too often, us Americans tend to forget that there is life outside our borders and hearing all the great remixes from all over the world has really […]
