So I talked a lot in this episode. Hopefully nobody minds. Here's a few notes before we begin: [1] The footage for MTV's 10 Greatest Hip-Hop Groups of All Time is here, and the "postgame" footage, including Run and Chuck D musing briefly on the effect of crack on hip-hop, is here. [2] And yes, the Mixtape Show was listed in Q Magazine's (UK) Best 100 Places To Get Free Music Online. #1 in the podcast section. They said that I was "lively". [3] I do think that the Beastie Boys made some nice songs, especially productionwise. I wouldn't call myself a big fan, but they did their thing in their day. Plus, they were the featured group on during the official Mixtape Show Caucasian Appreciation Show. And around here, that counts for a lot. And now for that playlist. (instrumental - myspace.com/truestatiks.) Hasan Insane - Hustler's Clarity feat Jay-Z and Lil Wayne. Kid is nice with the beats. This one is just one of those that just works. Thanks for the tip, oux. myspace.com/hasaninsane DJ Lt Dan - Justify My Thug feat Jay-Z (b/w G Thang). I can't remember who first remixed Jay's Black Album, but this cat is definitely one of the earlier and more memorable ones. That acapella release also spawned the Grey Album, which in turn tipped the white liberal media off to this whole "remixing" and "hippity-hop" thing, at which point it started to get sort of lame. myspace.com/ltdanmixtapes. J*Davey - Untitled 1. Jack of J*Davey on this one. Free shoutout in the next episode to the first one to identify the instrumental. jdaveybaby.com.
