Freddie Gibbs: In The Tape Deck

A few months ago, as a prelude to the release of B.o.B's debut LP, I compiled a set of 36 tracks featured on The Tape Deck from '08 to '10. For this second go-round I thought I'd feature Gary, Indiana's own Freddie Gibbs, not because of his liner notes but because I promised I would, [...]

Sample Set #158

Released just months after L.A.'s infamous '92 riots, The Chronic envisioned a rebirth - rising from the ashes, g-funk-blasting from every direction. For just as the riots woke and shook up Middle America to the ills that plague the hoods of the nation (again), The Chronic struck a chord in the hip hop community. Dr. [...]

The HHIR Army is TOO STRONG! Peace to everybody who lent a hand on my movie snippet request. E.B. and Big Speech came through with the cobra clutch to inform me that "One Time Two Meny" excerpted an episode of The White Shadow - a TV show that I'd never heard of until they brought [...]

Sample Set #156: Doggystyle

Jul 3rd

Posted by Ivan over at Hip Hop Is Read

You can't not enjoy this album right here. In my opinion, though not as musically/stylistically/(sub-)culturally revolutionary as The Chronic, Snoopy's debut is definitely more enjoyable from start to finish, appropriately beginning and ending with Curtis Mayfield-sampling tracks. Bottom line, Doggystyle is my idea of a summertime record. Hopefully the 35 samples featured here oughta prolong [...]

Sample Set #155: Recovery

Jun 13th

Posted by Ivan over at Hip Hop Is Read

The more I listen to this record, the more it seems clear that this is Em's 808s & Heartbreak. I'll elaborate a bit when/if I decide to review the album, but for now enjoy this early set featuring six tracks that were sampled on Recovery. I got this info from Rap Radar (shouts to YN!) [...]

The Beat Tape, Volume #1

Jun 1st

Posted by Ivan over at Hip Hop Is Read

A few months back I mentioned my plans for releasing an all-independent, all-instrumental compilation similar to The Tape Deck. That oft-delayed project has finally arrived: The Beat Tape, Volume #1. Featuring 20 producers and 40 tracks, The Beat Tape aims to shed some light on some of the great beatsmiths of the digital age. It [...]
