you know what it is. no, seriously. you do.
This show concept for this week's rap podcast basically came up when Ike Eyes sent me a copy of the Propane Piff mixtape. Trust me, when you hear Ag shouting over the top of some old crack era S.O.S. band shit, you know you're in for an experience. If you're interested in scoring your own free copy, read the full post for details. Not only that, though, but there's a freestyle from my man Respect up in here, as well as an old Smoke and Numbers joint that y'all prolly ain't heard, either. Start the track and follow along...
Agallah - Whoop Ya Head f/ 50 Cent. Yes, the almighty Fiddy shows up on this joint, which makes sense if you know your history. Don't hate. If anyone somehow forgot that despite the Top 40 shit, 50 actually has bars, you're about to get reminded.
Episode 29 this time of the livest hip-hop podcast ever, fuck them other joints, cause they really just aren't fucking with the Mixtape Show.
Case in point - who else brings you shit from the UK AND the dirty dirty in one episode? You can count the number of sites on my middle finger, suckers, cause there's only one. All kidding aside, I've got some pretty out-there and interesting shit for y'all this week. We're gonna start off with some more straight-ahead hip-hop from across the pond, then jump into some grime, then hit you over the head with some of that suvvin rap shit. Don't miss the messages section at the end, complete with some more Dilla-inspired beats.
Assaviour and Jehst - Money in the Bank (orig. version). This episode is gonna get crazy, so I thought I'd start y'all off with something that you could handle. Check the production and the hook on this one...instant classic. lowliferecords.co.uk.
East Flatbush Project f/ Stress and Dox - Who I'm Is. Now, I'm not going to pretend to understand whatever sort of strange sub-grammar would lead someone to decide that "Who I'm Is" is coherent English, but that's not really my place. My place is, however, to tell you that this joint is dope. Thus: "This joint is dope". There. (a little more info on EFP here).
