Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth's classic LP 'Mecca and the Soul Brother' turned 30 recently, so reminisce for a spell with a mix of OG Samples, Remixes, & Blends.
The way Pete sampled old jazz/funk/soul records and layered them over hard, dusty drums was masterful (how he caught that little part on the fadeout of an Ohio Players record for 'Lots Of Lovin' still amazes me).    
Combine that with C.L.'s sharp yet fluid lyricism (how many MC's could rhyme like THIS back in '92??), and you unquestionably have one of the pillars of early 90's NYC boom bap.

Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth - Mecca and the Soul Brother 30th Anniversary Mix (DJ Filthy Rich)

For years DJ PREMIER has produced some of my favorite records in Hip-Hop. There was a huge catalog of Primo produced songs to choose from and my tribute mix will feature some classic's from his group Gangstarr & much more. Primo has produced for what most of Rap fans would consider to be the best MC's to ever touch a microphone. This mixtape was released on his birthday 3/21/14. Please take a moment to appreciate one of our best...DJ PREMIER

DJ CHIEF-ONE - 1996 MIXTAPE (Part 1)

My new "situation" has afforded me much more time to work on mixes than I had before.  I am currently sitting on four completed mixes and on the cusp of finishing a fifth.  Of course, all will be released at some later date.  I'm not sure why I'm taking so long to let go of these mixes, but I am.  Mix hoarder?  Whatever you want to call it, here's the first step toward rehabilitation.  Samples/breaks used to create the masterpiece that is Supreme Clientele, mixed like you've come to expect from Pipomixes.  Enjoy and share.

Supreme Breaks

This is a mix strictly dedicated to the Remix. These are not new-aged mash-ups, re-fixes, edits, transitions, or whatever other name there might be, these cuts are in the spirit of the traditional remix. Most of these were label releases, b-sides, white label releases, and alternate versions.

Goldenera Remixes (A dedication to 90's Hip Hop remixes) Mixed by @Haylow

When @evboogie from @upnorthtrips proposed the idea for a mix celebrating the 20th anniversary of Ironman, we couldn't resist, considering that Ghostface might be our favorite rapper ever. 

Since Ironman was the last of six Wu-Tang albums produced entirely by Rza, we widened the scope of the mix in order to pay homage to his legendary run in that classic Wu-Tang era.

The Iron Age

UpNorthTrips presents The Iron Age (A Mix by Its Overture)

One of the most classic and respected mixtapes of ALL TIME by DJ JS-1 & Dj Spinbad... This is a mix of all blends and remixes done using strictly turntables and a 4-track cassette recorder in 1996... this mix set the bar really high for all mixes that came after it... DEFINITELY something you need to have in your collection... period.
