| This project has been on the Hip Hop Is Read backburner since February 2008. That's just ridiculous. Since that time, Q-Tip released the much-acclaimed solo LP The Renaissance - also in 2008 - which included a Dilla-produced track ("Move"). You won't find that record on this mix, however. My intentions with A Tribe Called Dilla [...] |

| Jimmy Castor passed away earlier today, leaving behind a musical legacy as immense as an iceberg. As Dr. King once said: "Seeing is not always believing." You've gotta dig deep to appreciate the magnitude of "It's Just Begun", an audible treat from 1972 that finds the funk/disco saxophonist letting loose with one of the illest [...] |

Though Common and OutKast come from different regions and have different styles, nonetheless they share a few things in, um, common. Putting aside the Erykah Badu connection (ha!), Cee Lo [...] |

| I've been planning the release of a sample set for Common's opus, Resurrection, for over a year or so but just never got around to completing the project. As chance would have it, a couple weeks back I was watching the 1991 film The Five Heartbeats and stumbled upon an audio snippet which was sampled [...] |
