I’ve been wanting to do a De La Soul set for awhile and originally wanted to start with some of their earlier material. I decided to give The Grind Date the sample treatment, because the album includes some top-notch production from J Dilla and Supa Dave West. 9th Wonder and Madlib also contribute […]

Ha-ha! My man, DJ BIG TEXAS did it again! I definitely wasn’t expecting this, as most of his mixes thus far have been west coast oriented. Being an East Coaster myself, I definitely appreciate BIG TEXAS showin’ us some luv. And he picked a good one… LL Cool J’s B.A.D. (Bigger and […]

As I’ve said before, these Ghostface sample sets are probably the best in terms of overall music quality. You can literally put on one of these sets and enjoy it as much as Ghostface’s actual albums. Thomas and Goon worked this one out; one of my favorite Ghostface albums… The Pretty Toney Album. […]

Seems like most bloggers have written something about the Sean Bell verdict. I had decided to stay away from the subject as this blog’s focus is music. However, 100dBs recently put together a mix dedicated to the memory of Sean Bell, which I feel fits perfectly right here. For those not […]

More Fish = More Samples! My man, Thomas, has been working on this one since we released the Fishscale samples a month ago. Stumped on a few of the samples, Thomas hit up fellow digger Goon to help out with the set. Goon came through and hooked it up, so props to […]

Born in Manhattan, Donny Goines spent his youth going back and forth between Philly, the Bronx, and Harlem. Ingrained with a street mentality that some can only imitate, Donny knew that to fill the holes in his life, something […]

Congrats to EB Productions who came out on top with their remix to 50 Cent’s “21 Questions”!
Last week I threw out some Lil Kim and I guess some people either weren’t feeling it or maybe it was too tough to remix. But to those of you that did submit a remix, you all did […]

Thought I’d through this one up to compliment the latest remix contest. I would have had it up sooner, but I had problems finding a couple of tracks (indicated below) and also had problems finding a high quality album cover.
Released on November 12, 1996, Hard Core is the debut album from female emcee Lil’ […]

I have been working on this set since I dropped the first Murs/9th Wonder set a couple of months ago, but I had a hard time finding most of the samples to complete it. Last night, This Is Hip Hop reader, Jeff, hit me up with the full set. Much thanks Jeff!
It’s great to […]

I don’t care what era of hip hop you come from; you gotta love Gang Starr! DJ Premier is the originator in my book; definitely in my top 5 producers list. Moment of Truth isn’t my favorite Gang Starr album, but Thomas hooked this one up and I mean HOOKED it up…. close […]

Congrats to BGeezie who just barely beat out Blinky for the top spot in last week’s contest with his remix to AZ’s “New York”.
This last week you all remixed 50 Cent… and remixed well! Lot’s of hot talent out there! One of our regular remixers emailed me recently to let me know that […]

How ’bout some more 9th Wonder today? Thomas and I have been working on this set for a little while and although this set is missing a couple of tracks, I decided to go ahead and put it up. If anyone wants to help, the missing tracks are annotated below. I was […]

If you’re not up on Spectac, check out the Artist Spotlight we […]
