Golden Era Mix Episode II for Shade 45 (((Broadcasted Jan 1, 2014)))

DJ Jazzy Jeff - Hip Hop Forever II

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.

Live Mix from DJ Pete Rock , DJ Marley Marl and DJ Scratch featuring guest appearances by Run DMC & EPMD Live on Radio Station 107.5 WBLS NY 8/12/1989 

DJ Pete Rock - DJ Marley Marl - DJ Scratch - Live Mix - 8/12/1989 - 107.5 WBLS NY

This is a mix I curated and mix in 2007 as a tribute to James Brown, as well as the people who worked with him.

JB: A Tribute to James Brown

Founding member of EPMD and Def Squad, Erick Sermon aka the Green Eyed Bandit is a legendary Producer & MC from Brentwood, Long Island. In my opinion he’s always been the funkiest producer on the East Coast. Through his records, I became interested in P-Funk, Zapp, Johnny Guitar Watson, to name a few.

On this tribute mix I wanted to pay homage to the 3 main phases of his career. The explosion of EPMD in the Golden Era, his productions for Redman and K-Solo. He made countless remixes, productions, appearances on classic and more slept-on 90’s Rap & R&B joints. The early 2000’s changed production styles slightly but the funk & soul was always there as evident on his more recent solo work like the Marvin Gaye sampling “Just Like Music”
