Live From The Boogie Blind Residence

In celebration of Hip Hop's 50th year, we've teamed up with London based ‘Classic Material’ to present a chronologically themed series of mixtapes celebrating the history of recorded rap music, mixed by Chris Read. Edition #10 in this year by year series pays tribute to the Hip Hop of 1996, a year which marks a turning point for the genre with a divide growing between the emerging crossover sound and the underground ‘independent’ sound blossoming in reaction to it. Whilst many established artists including De La Soul and The Roots critiqued the commercial sound of the day, artists such as Busta Rhymes managed to deliver more chart friendly offerings while retainign underground credibility. Notable album releases include the Fugees’ hit album ‘The Score’, Tribe Called Quest’s Ummah produced 4th album, ‘Beats Rhymes and Life’, Jay Z’s ‘Reasonable Doubt’ and Jeru’s ‘Wrath of the Math’ in contrast to it. Debut releases from Kool Keith alias Dr Octagon and newcomers Company Flow set the tone for a new breed of leftfield acts. Artwork references the logo of NY imprint Uptown Records.

Mecca & The Soul Brother 30th Anniversary Tribute here:
https://soundcloud.com/user-133147562/pete-rock-cl-smooth-mecca-and-the-soul-brother-30th-anniversary-mix-dj-filthy-rich

Tribute mix celebrating Pete Rock & CL Smooth's masterpiece 'The Main Ingredient', which turned 30 recently.
'Mecca & The Soul Brother' is the more iconic/important album, but Main Ingredient slowly became my favorite over the years.....for a lot of the same reasons I lean to ATCQ's Midnight Marauders over Low End Theory.
Pete's production went from a harder/dusty sound on MATSB, to a warm/melodic vibe on TMI.  The samples Pete chose hit your soul in that sweet spot:  from Cannonball Adderley on 'In The House', to George Benson on 'I Get Physical' + 'In The Flesh', to Roy Ayers on 'Searching'....masterful.  Pair that with CL's smooth voice & flow, and your soul starts to vibrate....

Mixography: The Collectives - Vol. II, Native Tongues [Mini Mix]

[Intro]
Yeah…
You ever meet somebody so shiny, so polished…
But every time you tap that surface, it’s hollow as hell?
Mm.
Plastic queen vibes… let’s talk.

[Verse 1]
She pull up lookin’ flawless, drippin’ glitter off her skin,
But you touch it, it’s that silicone sheen, nothin’ real within.
All filters, all angles, all makeup, all scene,
Screamin’ royalty online but livin’ life like a meme.
She say she’s “rare”, she say she’s “goals”, she say she’s “better than your ex”,
But the moment you get closer, you see cracks beneath the flex.
Every crown she ever claimed was made of plastic dollar-store,
Actin’ bougie on the surface, but inside she’s insecure.
Tryna walk like she’s the moment, tryna talk like she’s the throne,
But every vibe she ever sold was somethin’ someone else had owned.
She copy energy, she copy dreams, she copy every trending thing,
But she can’t copy bein’ real, that’s the one she couldn’t bring.

[Chorus]
Damn, bitch is a plastic queen,
Shiny on the outside, empty in between.
Tryna act iconic but she stuck in the routine,
All that fake-ass royalty ain't what it seems.
Damn, bitch is a plastic queen,
Everything recyclable, nothin’ truly clean.
She built her whole kingdom on a temporary sheen,
And wonders why her throne ain’t never feel serene.

[Verse 2]
She talk about her “value”, but can’t face her own reflection,
So she edits every picture like she edit each confession.
She love attention more than healing, love the drama more than peace,
Love the chaos she created, then she blame it when she leaves.
She say men ain’t worth her time, but she measure hers by likes,
Livin’ in a highlight reel that only shows her Friday nights.
She ain’t real, she ain’t grounded, she’s a concept, she’s a brand,
More focused on appearances than holdin’ someone’s hand.
And me? I tried to see the woman buried underneath,
Tried to love what wasn’t perfect, tried to offer her release.
But you can’t save what ain’t present, can’t hold on to empty space,
Can’t build trust with someone scared of showin’ their own face.

[Chorus]
Damn, bitch is a plastic queen,
Shiny on the outside, empty in between.
Tryna act iconic but she stuck in the routine,
All that fake-ass royalty ain't what it seems.
Damn, bitch is a plastic queen,
Everything recyclable, nothin’ truly clean.
She built her whole kingdom on a temporary sheen,
And wonders why her throne ain’t never feel serene.

[Bridge]
I ain’t bitter, I ain’t petty,  I just finally see the truth,
A queen without her soul ain’t a queen, just somethin’ new to use.
You wrapped your heart in plastic, now you think you don’t feel pain,
But numbness ain’t protection, it’s just self-inflicted chains.

[Verse 3]
So go ahead, collect attention, go ahead and chase the spark,
But don’t pretend you royalty when you afraid of bein’ marked.
Real crowns come from battles, real strength comes from storms,
Not from tryna stay perfect or avoid your human form.
You ain’t evil, you ain’t broken, you just scared to be undone,
Scared to be without that image you’ve been hidin’ behind for fun.
But until you drop that armor, until you step into the scene
As yourself and not the copy, you’ll remain that plastic queen.

[Outro]
Yeah…
Fake throne, fake crown, fake reign…
But underneath all that plastic?
There’s someone real, if she ever chooses to show her face.
But that’s on her.
I’m gone.

Damn Bitch is a Plastic Queen

If Lord Finesse was a baseball player he'd be in the Robert Hall of Fame for his Triple Crown record in hip-hop. Whether he's on the microphone, drum machine, or turntables, you know he'll be chasing that MVP crown. Last month The Underboss and Slice Of Spice hit Japan for the 'Soundwave Tour' where Finesse tore it up on the 1s and 2s. We recorded a live 2 hour set on 2.14.13 in Tokyo and as promised we're sharing it with all his fans in two FREE DOWNLOAD installments. ENJOY!
