"Audrey, I swear every time I come over here it's all Raekwon, all day...I knew there was a reason I liked you.
Audrey and I have been testing out the new hip hop mix. I try and tell her there is more to hip hop than just crack rap, but if they aren't talking about moving o's she just rolls her eyes and does that dismissive wanking motion. Reaaaal classy Audrey, maybe you could do with some more culture!!!
Well despite Audrey's protestation there is a mixture of both crack rap and conscience rap on the mix. I know some of it is too preachy and kumbaya for some people. *whispers Audrey* But how can we appreciate the sweet without the sour? How can we appreciate spandex without lunges.

New Hip Hop mix. I am not really sure if it sucks but I have been slacking on mixes. So something is better than nothing...maybe?
Update, no idea why the links
keep breaking,
I hate your new player Jeffro!!
Download link should still work.
I listened to the mix in the car
and it's just alright,
it starts out super hood,
then segues into some more soul laced stuff.
Samples below
I like Raekwon. I also like the sound of whistling, coincidentally this song contains Raekwon and whistling. I can't whistle a tune, for some reason I can't raise or lower the pitch, I don't know how. I can whistle like a bird but that's just random noises as opposed to a melody. Thank you for listening. *sits down*
For those of you who don't know, this all started out as a private email list. If you were not on that list you may have missed out on some goodies. I feel like I should be moving forward and only posting new mixes, but since we are not asshole taskmasters I feel bad not offering the chance for people to do make-up work. It's not your fault, stop throwing a tantrum, get up off the floor, you have the chance to redeem yourself right now.
This is the original Beat Hooker mix, the beats are fiyaaah. *Pours champagne on a toddler* No idea who's toddler that is but they need to be taught to appreciate expensive champagne and stop crying. You'll never be a video ho son...you're useless.
Here's a couple of sample tracks. First up Freeway and Jake One off of, "The Stimulus Package." This Freeway and Jake One album is wearing the crown for one of the best hip hop albums of 2010. I know it's February, you shush. Just watch, this shit can last, Jake One and Freeway can do no wrong.
This is going to be on the next hip hop mix but this is just a another supporting argument for why this album is so good. It's tailor made for my ears to love it. The Roc, Rhymesayers, and The Chef reppin the Wu, all on the same track? Say no more I'm in, where do I sign up?
Freeway and Jake One- One Thing featuring Raekwon
Next is a track by Fashawn from Fresno. This is a dude that gives me hope for hip hop. Check out his track, "Samsonite Man," featuring Blu and produced by Exile. That's pretty much an all-star track in my world. Blu is another dude that doesn't make me cry and run through the streets shouting, "HIP HOP IS DEAAAD!!!" Then you add the fact that Exile is one of my favorite producers and it's musical magic. You will see Exile all over my mixes, that's one soulful dude. These three show that there are still real cats out there doing real hip hop, you just have to turn off the radio and scratch below the surface a little bit.
If that's your kind of shit, then come get some more below. Hip Hop Mix 12-05-09
