MIXTAPE 98 – SANTA GIVES MORE TO RICH KIDS THAN POOR KIDS


MIXTAPE 98 – SANTA GIVES MORE TO RICH KIDS THAN POOR KIDS

(image from here).

Because real talk, Santa Claus does give more presents to rich kids than poor kids. I’ll be spending my giftmas day back in the hood delivering toys and food. If you can do something to bring people up this season, please do so.

In the meantime, feel free to bump this in the ride.

Tracklist

[Intro beat] Meanest Man Contest – Don’t Die on Christmas. I used to play a lot of MMC on the radio when I first started out. I’m not sure who would win a Meanest Man Contest. myspace.com/meanestmancontest

Big Gen and Snipe – This Christmas ft Birmingham J and Mr Mal. This is pretty much the first I’ve heard of dudes. The song is marginally cheesy (I mean, it’s a Christmas song), but it brings to mind the fact that there’s really a very fine line between songs about giving people gifts and songs about giving people drugs. I dig this cut though. myspace.com/biggensnipe

69 Boyz – What You Want For Christmas. What can I possibly even add to this song? Make sure your bass is turned up.

(Digilude): Hally – Xmas Songs Plastic Sputnik Arcade Punk Remix (snippet). And in the suburbs, Mummy and Daddy wake up Brad Jr. What will little Brad Jr. get this year? A lump of coal? A hard-learned lesson in the gritty reality of living in the streets? Or maybe that new nintendo…8bitpeoples for the full cut.

Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg, Bad Azz, Daz and Tray Dee – Santa Claus Goes Straight to the Ghetto. You might not expect this given the list of artists in the credits, but this may well be the most positive song in this episode.

Master Slash Slave – All I Want for Xmas (Is To Get The Band Back Together) (snippet). Apparently this song was written in like 5 takes and 53 minutes of bizarre indiekid desperation. You should visit the myspace just to look at the ridiculous pictures. If Postal Service did more drugs and had cheaper equipment, maybe they could sound as good as these kids. myspace.com/master1slave.

Treacherous Three – Xmas Rap. And to think that this was technically pre-crack era. Jesus. Other songs on here take occasional jabs at the government and media, but this one is actually pretty bold. And yes, Kool Moe Dee was part of this group.

AKIM & The Teddy Vann Production Company – Santa Claus is a Black Man. I don’t know about you guys, but in my house, Santa Claus was definitely a Black man. This joint really should be mandatory in every household.

Every household. Yours too.

  3. dex digital says:

    Sara – yeah, meanest man contest was the instrumental in the intro. I just reedited the post – I kinda wrote it in a hurry because I was recording the episode when I was supposed to be at a party, then I wrote the post on a laptop at the party…

    which is sort of bad form, not to mention the fact that being on a macbook at a party is not what’s really hot in the streets.

    AustinJL – I actually don’t remember the Straight To The Ghetto cut when it came out, but apparently there was a video for it, which I’m about to watch right now.

    Talat – who’s out? I was waiting for that jay electronica joint to drop.

    g2 – that’s a good one to start at. You caught the rest of The New Soul Vol 2 – Origins, Vol 1 series yet?

    supercali – That’s what I’m saying. I was wondering if anyone even caught that. I’ve been on a no-cursing thing for a month and some change and I broke that just for you.

    and yep, the games were mailed out in time for the holiday. Shouts to Spaceboy at 2K Sports for apparently next-daying them joints.

  12. TALAT1 says:

    OH ..damn ..and now back to your schedule program ..haha…

  13. Aush says:

    Hol’ UP…does anyone know who else used that Isaac Hayes horn sample from “Do Your Thing” (from the Shaft album) that Snoop and crew use in Santa Claus Goes Straight to the Ghetto?? I know I’ve heard that sample used before…. can’t remember who it was.

  14. dex digital says:

    you are about to witness the strength…of internet knowledge.

    Songs sampling Isaac Hayes’ “Do Your Thing”:
    Big Daddy Kane – “Smooth Operator”
    Bushwick Bill – “Already Dead”
    Compton’s Most Wanted – “N 2 Deep”
    Compton’s Most Wanted – “They Still Gafflin’”
    Lifer’s Group – “Out of Sight, Out of Mind”
    Poison Clan – “Juvenile’s”
    Snoop Dogg – “Santa Claus Comes to the Ghetto”
    Xscape – “Do Your Thang”
