Man, thank you for this take on it. I I did this for 4 hours a week at MixTape in SF. Loving it! Great work!

Amazing! Brought me back to my childhood. My older cousin had a wall to wall room full of what  I thought was every record ever made in the mid ‘70’s great mix!😎

Your cover photo reminds me of Jay Quan The Foundation he’s a music historian imo

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.
