And as promised, back by popular demand, it's the Mixtape Show Beat Tape Volume 2. No Juggernaut this time, but plenty of dope instrumentals. Listen:
RZA - Flying Birds. I think this was a secret instrumental on a soundtrack. I mean come on, it's the RZA. It's short, but you'll like it.
Kenny Keys - A Woman's Gotta Have It. You should recognize this name from the Eulorhythmics interview - the dude is really that ridiculous. This joint in particular stayed in my mp3 player for a miiiinute.

Jay Dee - A Man's World Flip. This one didn't make it into Episode 28, but I had to get it out there. I'm not sure if this one was ever officially released - I don' t think it was - so ignore the title I gave it.

Suburb - selection from the fall tape. If you weren't aware, the man Suburb is my favorite beatmaker at the moment - which, given my impeccable taste in music, should really say something. If you don't feel this joint right here, you don't have a soul.

That's right. When you run as dope a show as mine is, you get to redeclare summer, and nobody bats a motherfucking eye.
This episode, as you probably noticed, is the Summer Mixtape - yet another concept episode. Basically the concept here is a typical summer day - I won't get all nostalgic about summers spent during my middle school years - you know, ice cream, running through sprinklers, and coke binges, you get the idea. One day, one mixtape. Here we go.

4:35 AM: Eulorhythmics - Good Life (Intro). Yeah, I probably coulda put this one at the end, but damn, it's such a dope intro that I had to switch it up. This is the joint you wake up to, before the sun wakes up. This is off their EP, which, incidentally, is probably up there with the best shit I've heard this month. Highly recommended, and there should be an interview with one of the members of Eulo fairly soon - watch out for that.

Well, I had to do it. Today's show contains more than a few joints that a lot of people out there would consider blasphemous. That's fine. Before you call Focus on the Family on me though, (happened once before), think for a second about shit like the crack epidemic, about Katrina, about Sudan, and then tell me that there's no good reason that people should feel like they've been shut out. Let's move.
Mobb Deep feat 50 Cent - Pearly Gates. Exile on the beats here. This is the joint that was censored by Interscope - as in you can't even get this version that you're about to hear here in stores. I mean, you've got Prodigy saying shit like that he's going to "see [Jesus] when he sees him" or that he's gonna beat Jesus up "like the movie" (I'm assuming he's talking about The Passion of the Christ). But of course, I don't know what happened in the movie because I didn't see it, because of the White Jesus factor.
Also, why are people whining about Fiddy singing on hooks? I think he sings good hooks. Please leave Fiddy alone. Dude wants to sing, let him sing. He's had a rough life. Poor guy.
