Wait… he raps too? That’s right, your producer’s favorite producer MIDIMarc has been working hard in the studio lately laying the smacketh down on the mic. We first got a glimpse of MIDI’s rhymes as a guest feature on Black Boy Lost. Now he’s putting a bunch of dope rhymes together over some Dilla beats.

It’s been a slow day today, but I wanted to share my initial thoughts of The Game’s new album L.A.X. For those of you who can’t wait until release day (Aug 26th), The Game personally leaked the clean version of L.A.X. earlier this week. The explicit retail leaked moments later. Although we do not condone […]

DJ BIG TEXAS is back again and just in time for the release of Ice Cube’s new album Raw Footage. This mix right here of Ice Cube’s 1991 EP Kill At Will is classic just for all the samples that were used in “Jackin’ For Beats”. This is a BIG TEXAS exclusive and done up […]

My man Goon hooked up with Thomas to compile the samples to Black Milk’s Popular Demand. This album was a favorite of mine, as well as others, last year. If you don’t have this album in your collection, make sure to pick it up. And go check out the samples over at Goon’s site!

Coming up as a DJ is not easy. Just ask DJ Fresh… you gotta master your craft. Fresh spent many years winning DJ competitions before he got his big break to DJ for Common Sense, then eventually with Nas. Now DJ Fresh sticks primarily to producing with his own series called The […]

Week 11 / 11 Entries. This must have been our slowest week yet. Still trying to figure out why… was it the 2Pac or the Prince? At any rate, those that did remix this joint brought some heat again and it’ll be a lot easier for us to judge too! Our guest judge for this […]

This Is Hip Hop is proud to present another exclusive right here. This time is extra special because it includes one of our remixers from the weekly remix contest… G.C. “Soul Food Sunday” is the newest single off Tudakay’s Dollar Menu, due to be released next month.
A little backstory… I introduced G.C. and Tudakay a […]

This was originally going to be the last week of the contest, but due to a mix-up in week 10 we’ve added another week. Seems like there weren’t too many people feeling the Pac track, or maybe it was the sample stipulation. At any rate, this week we’re bring it back to the East coast […]

Everybody love remixing some Jay-Z! But I think some people were intimidated to touch a Timbaland joint. Props to all of you who gave it a shot though. As I mentioned in a previous post, we realized after releasing the acapella that this track actually came out in 2000. So instead […]

A Tribe Called Quest’s The Low End Theory was one of the first sample sets we compiled here on the site. Fast forward seven months later, we realized we made a lot of mistakes on that release. Close to 20 missing samples for one and there were also a few mistakes in credit listings. We’ll […]

I love doing lists and I feel like we don’t do enough of them here on the site. My favorite lists are ones where we discuss our most anticipated album releases. Since the summer is coming to a close and we’re about to hit the 4th quarter, I figured I’d drop my list of Most […]

Good music, dope flows, fresh tees and kicks define the personal style of Brooklyn native Fresh Daily, a rising lyricist who is taking an impressive multifaceted approach to Hip Hop. As an emcee, graphic designer, this artist’s persona and prowess make it hard to disagree with his self-proclaimed title of himself as “the New Jack […]

One of the great things that I love about running this blog is that it reaches audiences worldwide and I’ve come to meet great people all over the world and learn about hip hop in other countries. This article right here comes from my man Marcha, who has been a loyal reader since we went […]

It maybe impossible to sound bad over the horns of Pete Rock & CL Smooth’s “T.R.O.Y.”!! That said, Lupe Fiasco, Wale and Kardinal Offishal absolutely do their thing on “Dope Boys.” “Dope Boys” is taken from Greg Street’s forthcoming Interscope LP, Greg Street: Certified Worldwide, which will be released on 9-30-08.

“Motown 25,” the first single from eLZhi’s new album The Preface, opens up with a thick n’ heavy beat and a multi-layered weaving of Motown-era samples. The production on the autobiographical track competes for the spotlight with eLZhi’s complex rhymes. The lyrics ooze style and exemplify just how good eLZhi is at what he does. […]
