Nas - It Aint hard to tell

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of 93 'Til Infinity, Souls of Mischief graciously opened their vaults to give Gummy Soul the exclusive acapellas of their classic album, to remix for the first time ever. 

As the framework of the project, Gummy Soul’s Wally Clark, dug through his extensive record collection, and gathered all of the songs that were sampled to make hip-hop in 1993. Jazz, Funk and Soul songs, used to create classics from Digable Planets, Snoop Dogg and Black Moon, were then re-contextualized to provide familiar, yet updated versions of some of hip-hop’s most beloved material. 

"I wanted to take all of the records that people used back then, and create new compositions using the same techniques they were using – such as filtered bass lines, classic drum breaks, echo-y horns – to make an album that sounds like it could have been released in 1993," says Clark. "It was an amazing exercise trying to capture the essence of a sacred time in hip-hop. It also allowed me to playfully use samples that are normally deemed off-limits, because they are too well known." 

Be on the look out for Soul's of Mischief's new album "There Is Only Now," produced by Adrian Younge, as well as the 93 'Til documentary, featuring Questlove, Mos Def, 9th Wonder, Pete Rock and more.

Amerigo Gazaway’s *Soul Mates* series continues the theme of his previous work in creating collaborations that never were. On the series’ latest installment, Amerigo unites Brooklyn rapper Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) and soul legend Marvin Gaye for a dream collaboration aptly titled “Yasiin Gaye”. Building the album's foundation from deconstructed samples of Gaye’s Motown classics, Gazaway re-purposes the instrumentation into new productions within a similar framework. Carefully weaving Bey’s tangled raps and Gaye’s soulful vocals over his new arrangements, the producer delivers a quality much closer to an authentic collaboration than a lukewarm "mashup" album.

1st Down (Jay Dee & Phat Kat) | Front Street (1995)

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.

The mix features production from many of those frequently associated with the sound, The Untouchables, Sean Combes et al, alongside names from the Hip Hop underground who dabbled in R&B: DJ Premier, Easy Mo Bee, The Beatnuts, Salaam Remi and others. 16 Bar rap verses abound – AZ, KRS One, Grand Puba, Notorious BIG, Nas and many lesser known all appear. Also featured only on this mix is the pairing of R&B Acapellas with Hip Hop production from the era. Artwork pays homage to the classic Bad Boy Records company sleeve.

#HIPHOP50: Classic Material Bonus Mix #7 (90s Hip Hop Soul / R&B) mixed by Chris Read

Capital Tax | The Masha (1993)

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 #9 in this year by year series pays tribute to the Hip Hop of 1995, a year which arguably typifies what is often referred to as the ‘mid 90s sound’, with filtered and layered grooves accompanying crisp programmed drums at a tempo generally far lower than in previous years. The general trend for decreasing tempos peaked in ’95 with a significant proportion of single releases barely breaking the 90bpm mark. 1995 is also notable for the rise of a darker more melancholy production style with even the darkest of backdrops (Mobb Deep’s Shook Ones Part 2 being a good example) scoring as unlikely club hits. Artwork pays tribute to heavy hitting 90s imprint Loud Records.

Tracklist:

1. Classic Material Intro
2. Das EFX – Intro
3. Grand Puba – I Like It (Instrumental)
4. Chris Read – Theme #3 (Scratchapella)
5. Mic Genronimo – Masta I.C (Instrumental)
6. Funkdoobiest – Dedicated (Acapella)
7. Jamal – Fades ‘Em All (Pete Rock Remix Instrumental)

Listen up, check it, E-Rule's about to wreck it
No anaphora in my aura, verse I got the works when I freak it
Disarm unique wits warms I seek it
Diaphoretic in the energetic
More than motion draws up kinetic, being combined with the vibe
Not a man'll transcribe, though they tried
I jot down in all and I do it all indeed I rock the whole jam
Chumps know the program, identical to no man
When I get busy who is he
My formula rhymes
In parallel lines in perfect, mics to short circuit
Hark, it's worth it
I'm on the brink of blowin up, y'all
Examine hits however they fall with mics in flight
Graphic when I grabs it, gab with forms of this sort
Words I comports with no buts ands or ifs
Laid on the reel, eventually the skill'll build
I bag a ?? of the ?? ism, ill and chill
When I feel I grow like shrubs over dubs indulging buds
Maybe 4-20 Team hits on the elements of green
What's the word? Travel more than six-third
Brothers in mad words to build upon the scene for the time being
Dips that intervene God, what's the catch
Knows I can't freak a sketch, got a panoramic view
Plus I'm true, pull no stunts on the crew or you're through
That's a fact, future knack flung by the tongue
Hark to what the god brung, listen up

Flip I'm bagging your click, mark my words
See you never knew
You wouldn't boast at all if you had heard my skills
Secluded in my unit rip rhymes to flow fluent
Manifest my Flat hair style
Be direct from the West I flare form and dare chumps to test
Try and press, I evansesce the stress, more or less
Marvelous my drifts, I stride boroughs through the fifth
When I shift my zone, got melodic tone
Flows I freak course
The mic my resource, so let me go on and check
Live and direct, to wreck a technique, I freak mad, mad mystique
When I speak, I peak, E-Rule's unique
[Fly as well??], spark like a [super bell??] blastin'
Punks are plastic, I'm drastic, ill like Romana
Diggin Afrodonna's in order, no game retain my name
Here it is E-Rule supreme I get biz, you know the scene
That you quote, check what I wrote, recaps responses
No nonsense, hear the ism to confound mannerism
Swarms gettin warm due to lingo that I give em
Like that, while you heark to my wis'
Check em' for the sound god and there it is


Fresh in the mind to freak thought in writing rhyme
Born and inclined, I'm juking no chimes, Sign of the no-Times
I make a killin', talkin' willin' got the feelin'
All my skill and functions are modulations as I break trends
Meetin' ends with [mellifluous??] my God sends
Got the format, many swore that, I wouldn't drop
Now I got props, you heard my chumpie, I never slump
See punks are left back, I'm ill like Lefrak, when I kick
My tone slick drifts to fit, manifestin' this
Darts thoughts emerge on a hit
You know this foul words you never utter
Cause you know the god's butter
Got my game down pat so my sound's fat
Flow from the end of the pound tracks, rip it then max
I be's aloof to the punks, flowin' the gimmicks and acts
I got the formula, I'm warnin' ya the vibe be mad ill
Expade'in through the feel you're feelin', it's that appealin'
Greenbacks I'm reelin', aloof to kids who be stealin'
I ?? ?? not a punk or servile
I'm magnanimous, I grow like canibus, never animus
When I unfold, hope the next man don't plan to bust gold
My form is, after swarm is, enormous the wordin
Of born is, showin em all what gettin warm is
Indeed, harken as I proceed
E-Rule the wise appraise 'em all
Got a next level song and then I'm gone

Erule - Listen Up (1994)

Shabaam Sahdeeq - Arabian Nights

[Verse 1: Havoc]
Word up, son, I heard they got you on the run
For a body - now it's time to stash the guns
They probably got the phones tapped so I won't speak long
Gimme a hot second, and I'mma put you on
It's all messed up somebody snitching on the crew
And word is on the street is they got pictures of you
Homicide came to the crib last night, six deep
Askin' on your whereabouts and where d'you sleep
They said they just wanna question you, but me and you know
That once they catch you, all they do is just arrest you
Then arraign you, hang you, I don't think so
It's a good thing you bounced for now just stay low
Once in a blue I check to see how you're doin'
I know you need loot, so I send it through Western Union
They probably knock down the door
In the middle of the night, sometimes around four
Hoping to find who they looking for but they won't succeed
All they gonna find is mad empty bags of weed
But word son, you got the projects hotter than hell
Harder for brothers, to get their thug on but oh well
Son they know too much, even the hoodrat chicks
Oh you heard who did what, no I don't know who did shit
So stop askin, then I know I'm not goin' crazy
From windows, I see lights flashing and maybe
Somebody's taking pictures - you know who that be
Police lovers, and neighborhood snitches
They put up a G so everybody's pointing fingers
And lying, aiyyo son, the temp is rising

[Verse 2: Prodigy]
What up black? Hold your head wherever you at
On the flow from the cops with wings on your back
That snitch nigga - gave police your location
We'll chop his body up in six degrees of separation
Killer listen, shit ain't the same without you at home
Phony niggas walk around trying to be your clone
They really fear you, when you was at home they was pale
That's why they wanna see you either dead or in jail
By the time you hear this rhyme you'll probably be locked up
Tried to hide somewhere along the lines your plans slipped up
Got caught up in a crime that you can't take back
Reminisce on how I used to pick you up in the Ac
Years ago when we was younger seemed the hood took us under very deep
Wondering who snitched it got me losing lots of sleep
At night, you know my mouth is tight
I never sang to the cops cause that shit ain't right
Sometimes I stroll past the scene of the crime and backtrack
Damn - why the situation go down like that?
It'll be a long time before the heat dies down
And a - couple of years 'fore we see you around
But 'til then, maintain and keep your story the same
The cops is grabbing wrong niggas, looking for someone to blame
They harrassing, struggling to find the truth
There's a chance ya case'll get thrown out, cause they ain't got no proof
To say you're guilty, your fingerprints filthy, deliver
Me the gun, I'll tie it to a brick and throw it in the river
Make sure it sinks to the bottom
Outsmart police, snuck you out the projects, we got 'em
But still, but still, but still...

O.C, the former DITC rep and Crooklyn Dodger, got his start rhyming on an Organized Konfusion record. It was back in 94 when he and buckwild locked themselves in the lab and recorded the classic album Word...Life, which features his trademark track Time's Up (a track that he claims was never fully completed); however, It was on his second album Jewelz that he dropped this little gem of a track Far From Yours, featuring Yvette Michelle, backed with It's My World (both of which were featured in the video). In fact, the song was the highest O.C ever ranked on the charts.

I found this record on a dig downtown a few years back, and was geeked up! Wasn't a huge fan of his 2001 release, but I did really like his collabo jawn with A.G...but this 12" holds up today as one of my fav joints from 97...I still include it on all my mixes.

I'll end with a random fact...his debut album had no features at all. The lone feature was supposed to be Nas, but he apparently was a no-show for the session. This would have been their second feature (they both appeared on an MC Serch Remix).

Keep diggin!
