Mixtape Roundup: Hip Hop

Here is a Jean Grae mixtape that dropped a while ago. I haven't given it a listen, mixtape tags bug the shit out of me. But Jean is a solid lyricist sponsered by Talib and signed to his Blacksmith label. She has put out some of my favorite songs, and no not just favorite songs from a female emcee, I mean favorite songs regardless of gender. Her work with Blue Sky Black Death was head noddingly fantastic.

Grab the mix here.

Peter Gunz of Uptown Baby, we get's down baby fame's son has been putting out tracks for quite awhile now.  He may also have a reality show, but that could have just been a bad dream, since like most of my nightmares I think Nick Cannon was in it.  Anyway here is a mixtape that he put out a month or so back.  Grab it from Nahright.com, here

Weezy F. Baby, don't forget the Baby!!!  This dropped a while ago as well.  I am sure real Wayne fans have gotten their grubby paws on it by now.  If you are late to the party or are wondering why anyone would forget the baby and just who this Weezy person is then you can download the mix right here.

I read an article where Bumpy said that he took some married lady who was trolling for a "dangerous" one night stand back to her hotel where he proceeded to sleep with her.  Afterward he stole her shit and jumped out the window.  That's just one of the reasons I am a fan of Bumpy.  He was also blowing up Solar all over the internet after Guru's passing.  He is a solid dude, who will rob you while you are in the shower, a man of contradictions and quality raps.  Grab his mixtape
here.

Instrumental mixtape from DJ Burnone.  Now I can stop bugging Premier for beats.  You want how much!!???

Get it from TSS here.

Hip Hop Mix 7

Do you think he is listening to hip hop?  He looks like a Westside Connection type of guy to me.  I can see him C-walking all over another bird's impala.  This nice little childlike slice of artistic goodness comes from Drake Brodahl and is up for grabs on his etsy.


Damn when I saw this video titled, "Double Dream Hands," posted as choreography to, "Planet Rock" I was praying to Zeus that it was the Afrikaa Bambaattaa song. I am sure someone has remixed it by now but the original is pretty noteworthy in its own right. "Now rock out, hand bursts, shoulder, shoulder, chin." It's a pretty amazing video. I just wish it related to the point of this post, hip hop music. How could I not share this though?

Sean Price is hip hop. If a song has a feature from the man formerly known as Ruck from Heltah Skeltah and Camp Lo, I pay attention. Dude drops gems on the regular and has been doing so for a long ass time. He appeals to both the underground heads and the crack rap fans. With street level stories presented in a perceptive intellectual Brownsville vernacular. Sean P's talent as an emcee is legendary. Here he is rocking Slim's in San Francisco at the Duckdown 15 anniversary show that I should have gone to.

"P!!" Here is a video promoting his 2007 mixtape, "Master P."

Last but not least, here is his video for, "Figure Four." This was supposedly on his "Kimbo Price" mixtape from 2009, but I can't find it on my track list. P has undeniable flow and his lyrics are refreshingly stripped of materialist braggadocio, "These are the words of a thousandaire," is kind of as real as it gets.  He will have a solid feature on one of the tracks on the mix. Grab that and the whole thing behind the jump.
