It Is What It Is Radio Episode 2 (Mr. Dibbs, Chinn Chilla, Fyshr Price, Dj NVS)

First upload of 2024 and I'm back on the eclectic samples tip.  Damn, it's been a while… over three years since the reggae special.  I solemnly promised to never inflict this misery on myself again; but in truth, the break must have done me good - it's been thoroughly enjoyable. 

This one came about after a sustained period of listening to mid-90s jump up jungle (just for a change eh) and thinking how nice it would be to do a straight boom-bap mix with a few of the tunes sampled in them. I have an enduring love of hip hop - primarily the early 90s golden age through to the later Rawkus-era stuff, and a fair bit either side.  Back in the day we were as equally obsessed with it as we were jungle/DnB, and it got way more serious when I discovered DMC videos and the Fat Beats import mixtapes down at Purple Penguin, leading me in turn to discover the unparalleled joys of hip hop mixing, buying and stickering up countless double copies.  Therein lay a big issue for me when considering this mix: a straight hip-hop set should be done on the 1s and 2s, as god (or Primo, for fellow atheists) intended. Certainly not with ableton…  

Forced to come up with something more elaborate, and with an extensive, colour-coded spreadsheet completed, I duly threw a couple of hundred classic cuts, acapellas, instrumentals and a bunch of tangential samples in the blender - and here we are.  It's all hip hop this time - no more breakbeat/jungle reconstructions, I'm long done with that.  Above all else this is a tribute to the classic 4-track mixtapes I grew up with, but with enough sly references to jungle/D&B wedged in to keep the sample nerds happy.  Featured artists include KRS-One, Brandy, Mary J Blige, Wu-Tang, Def Squad, Mobb Deep, Biggie, DJ Quik, Ice Cube, Tribe, Digable Planets, Gang Starr, TLC, Big L, Kool G Rap and many more, plus a couple of eclectic interludes and the obligatory overblown intro.  99% of this sampled on numerous releases from the likes of No U-Turn, Emotif, Metalheadz, V/Philly Blunt/Chronic, Full Cycle/Dope Dragon, Frontline, Intalektive, Formation, Joker, Dread, yadda yadda.  

Please enjoy... downloads will be enabled soonish, reposts and comments much appreciated, as always.  

Special shouts to my fellow beat-lovers Olly, Ell & Ciaran, Caroline a.k.a. Mrs Selectabwoy, and all the sample spotters out there: the whosampled & FB jungle beardstroke crews, and a special mention for the newly-resurrected Rolldabeats forum. These mixes just wouldn't be the same without you guys. Big up!

This is a mix Cut Chemist did for the Beastie Boys exhibit that toured in 2018:  "They asked me to pull from some of their favorite dub, funk and rap records and this is the result."

Cut Chemist - Beastie Boys Book Mix 2018

Turntablism: The art of manipulating the sounds on records to create new music.

In the early 90s Hip Hop DJs often found themselves taking a back seat while rappers had the spotlight, but behind the scenes they continued to push the boundaries. By the mid-90s scratching and beat juggling had been taken to a whole new level, enabling turntablist DJs to take centre stage - because what they were doing was completely mind blowing! The world DMC and ITF championships helped to give turntablism a global platform, so for any up and coming DJ learning to scratch, it was an inspirational time. During that period you could argue turntablism redefined the element of DJing as the corner stone of Hip Hop culture. Around 2002 digital DJ equipment like Traktor and Serato became very popular, and nowadays you rarely see turntablists rocking DJ battle sets on a pair of decks with real records. Thats not to say they can’t tear shit up, it’s just the equipment is different. In terms of the golden era of turntablism though, this mix represents where it’s at. Hope you enjoy. Peace.
