The Foundation 10.23.21 (Tony Dark)

From 03.07.23 "This one is for De La. This is tough. I've been streaming De La Soul's music all weekend (if you haven't been, PLEASE run up their discography's numbers on any and EVERY DSP you use), and to me, their music can be summed up in one word: sunshine. Maybe it's because it was a gorgeous spring day years ago when I ripped open the plastic wrap on my "Stakes is High" CD only to blast it on repeat in my car for hours....or maybe it's because I was obsessed with their track "Can't Call It" in the summer of 2014....but whatever the reason, their music means so much to me - "Dinninit" was on one of the first mixes I made almost 15 years ago (sheesh) that I had the confidence to share publicly (aka burning to CD/hand out/email to friends) - when I was figuring out this DJ thing. And whatever mood I'm in, I know I can bump any De La Soul track and smile."

The Foundation 03.07.23 (De La Forever)

This mix is all about education. What you have in this mix are some of my favorite hip-hop records (well, Alicia Keys isn't really hip-hop, but whatever, Kanye did his thing on that track) paired back-to-back with their original samples. Uncovering original samples and mixing them with their hip-hop counterparts is something I've been obsessed with for a while. This is what I originally intended to do on my radio show on WNYU, but I ended up just playing strictly original jazz, funk, and soul tracks that have been sampled over the years. Some of these joints you'll probably recognize, and some you may not. But, at the end of the day, hopefully, it will open your eyes on how some of the illest producers in the game can re-create and flip great, and sometimes mediocre tracks, into some amazing and timeless hip-hop. Enjoy.

The Foundation 04.09.24 (1994 Pt. 1)

Basically, I'm a child of 90's hip-hop. I always have been and always will be. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of dope hip-hop on the market today (mainstream and underground), but to me, the eight-year period spanning from 1990 - 1998 was a hip-hop Renaissance that will probably never be duplicated. And DJ Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito Garcia (AKA Cool Bob Love, AKA DJ Cucumber Slice, AKA the ten thousand other nicknames this dude has) were probably two of the most influential people in the game at that time. I'm not gonna go into a long history regarding their show on WKCR, but from 1990 - 1998, during the hours of 1-5 AM every Thursday night / Friday morning, these two, for lack of a better term, "smashed the airwaves" of the New York metropolitan area. Their show was responsible for launching the careers of Nas, Mobb Deep, Big L, Jay-Z, Big Pun, Fat Joe, The Notorious B.I.G., A Tribe Called Quest, The Beatnuts, Black Moon, Redman, The Wu-Tang Clan, and the list goes on and on. Since I was too young during the show's heyday, I've had to feed my addiction for this show by scouring the internets for uploaded tapes from listeners from back in the day. What I did with this mix was try to showcase some of the joints that were spun on their show beginning in 1990 and ending in 1998. I compiled all the tracks to make it seem like you're listening to an actual taping of the show. All of these tracks were played on WKCR at least once (some more than others). I even threw in some of my favorite freestyles and exclusives, which were taken directly from old cassettes. I've got a ton of these old recordings, and it was really difficult to decide what to include/exclude, but hopefully, you'll get a sense of their legendary show and the evolution of classic hip-hop over a legendary eight-year period. Also, shout out to the good peoples at <a href="http://Philaflava.org" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Philaflava.org</a> for supplying me and the rest of the Stretch &amp; Bob fiends with hundreds of old tapes. Turn that shit up....

Note: I let some of the freestyles run for an extended period since some of them are just too legendary to cut short.

Stretch Armstrong & Bobbito Mix

All tracks from artists from the boogie down: the birthplace of this hip-hop thing. I didn't take it to the 70's and 80's because, to me, the artists in this mix really created and pioneered that underground Bronx sound. Basically, all tracks taken from  the "Diggin in the Crates" crew and affiliates discographies. Selections either feature a beat from a Bronx-born producer (Buckwild, Lord Finesse, Ahmad, Showbiz, etc.) or rapper (Fat Joe, KRS-One, and so on). Yeah, I know, Big L, O.C., and Milano aren't from the Bronx (I'm 99.9% sure Sadat X is), but they've been known to murder a Buckwild / Lord Finesse / Showbiz beat or two. Take the train uptown.    

Soundtrack:
1. O.C. - Let It Slide
2. Fat Joe - Bronx Keeps Creating It
3. KRS-One - Rappaz R.N. Danja
4. Lord Finesse - Yes You May (Remix) (Feat. Big L)
5. Lord Finesse & DJ Mike Smooth - Strictly for the Ladies
6. Diamond D - Best Kept Secret
7. Showbiz & A.G. - More Than One Way Out Of The Ghetto
8. Showbiz & A.G. - Diggin In The Crates
9. Showbiz & A.G. - Diggin In The Crates (DJ Premier Remix)
10. Showbiz & A.G. - Fat Pockets (Radio Remix)
11. Sadat X - Escape From New York (Feat. Deda)
12. Pete Rock - Rock Steady (Feat. Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz)
13. Percee P - Who With Me?
14. Percee P - Put It On The Line (BX Remix)
15. KRS-One - Outta Here
16. Fat Joe - Firewater (Feat. Raekwon and Showbiz)
17. Lord Finesse - Check The Method
18. Lord Finesse - Untitled Beat
19. Brand Nubian - Allah U Akbar
20. Big L - The Enemy (Feat Fat. Joe)

Knxwledge is one of my favorite artists right now. Some of the rawest beats out there. His catalogue is nothing short of insane. There's the endless stream of beat tapes on bandcamp (https://knxwledge.bandcamp.com/). There's his work with Anderson .Paak, Kendrick, Mach Hommy, and many others. And, of course, the remixes. Damn, those remixes. This mix is all Knwledge, all remixes (with a lone instrumental thrown in once or twice for good measure). In no way is this exhaustive. Re-done tracks feat. Nas, Missy Elliot, Rihanna, The LOX, The Roots, Erykah Badu, Camp Lo, Frank Ocean, AZ, Notorious B.I.G.,  and others.

I recorded this mix a few years ago, and I know it's difficult to stand out amongst the thousands of other Dilla tributes, but, what the hell, here it is. This mix was recorded in one take, but I edited the playlist at least a dozen times. I also let some of the tracks run longer than usual, because they're just too good. Almost two full hours of J Dilla. Every beat on this mix was done by Jay Dee (with the exception of the Platinum Pied Pipers track and No one Knows), and a good portion feature his rhymes. Again, in no way is this definitive. I tried to showcase his various styles, including raw joints from the Ruff Draft EP, classics from his production stint with A Tribe Called Quest and even the R&B / Neo-soul tracks. Like always, some original samples sprinkled in for flavor. Turn that shit up.....
