heres some nice making of Love & Rockets Pt 1 videos. which if im not mistaken were done at dame's DD172 mansion, where dame dash was recently taken to court for selling alco on the premises. haha anyways nice seeing the beatmaking and session players and all that jazz. not to mention some of tracks sound dope

wuhuu new Murs album out next week. he been previewing it for a couple months now. all tracks produced by ski beatz and it will be under dame dash's label, DD172 first up here is a track from one of his DD172 stable mates tabi bonney also with beats by ski beatz. ive been meaning to post up for ages. nice throw back track, great vibe goin. lovin that addidas trackies

umm i dont think thats right.. i guess she was the only other regular female there was that other grrl that batted for the other team who was a casual poster and i always pictured ktash as a grrl (sorry man if you aint)

Get in there hoddi. Under 18s. Actually you can hit all the homebush "raves"

after all the rant, ive listened to like five tracks. aside from bad quality sound (not sure if youtube uploader or could be the mixtape as a lot of mixtapes suffer as they are 128), all five sounded like shit. and i am a snoop fan. the dogg pound track was almost do-able but nah. the track posted by jonny b kills it. plus there is already so much good good uk grime or uk bass tracks that have madd spitters on the verse. just look up dj zinc.

oh and while i mentioned people who have come up in the biz by doing mixtapes, you may wonder but snoop isnt coming up! a lot of artists who already release use the mixtapes to keep buzz on the street; release tracks their record label would never let them do; and to do things the old school way. i.e. a dj and a mc where other peoples tracks are your instruments BUT without having to worry about clearing samples. the legal wrangle in the 80's meant dj's became restricted in the samples they could use (hence why the 808 producers started to come into prominence). by using mixtapes, the dj/ producers could do whatever they like in the beat production. some peoples mixtapes are better than full releases, even when its just a straight spitting over someone else's instrumental. kid cudi's 10 deep mixtape "A kid named cudi" is one of the best albums ever made.

just to clarify the release (now that ive looked into it), its actually a free mixtape. snoops been doing the kanye good friday thing and giving away free tracks every couple of weeks. and this weeks one was a mixtape. and for those that dont know, mixtapes in the hip hop world is usually a dj/ producer who will chuck on some instrumentals, or their own beats, or even extend the breaks old school style; and the rapper goes in the booth to spit freestyles or writtens. some mixtapes are done in one take. some mixtapes are done track by track and then mixed again by the dj, while laying over or inserting of skits/ spoken word, so as to seem like one long session. some mixtapes are just track by track. and most mixtapes will have some straight out unreleased tracks. people like cudi, wale, donnis, ofwgkta, even fitty gain their rep in the mixtape biz before getting released. its kind of like soundcloud for edm producers. where you put up some edits, bootlegs, remixes and some originals. anyways so this is a mixtape by snoop with dj mistajam (from bbc1 in UK) plus hip hop producer and long time snoop collabo battlecat. so im assuming what has happened is mistajam and/ or battlecat have done all the mixing (or mashing up looking from the track list) and snoop will spit some verses over the resulting instrumentals. havent heard it yet, but its not snoop going out and collaboing with dubstep producers (well not in the most part). and i read some are just straight mashups of dubstep tracks and hip hop acapellas. the flux pavilion one is with death row OG rapper rbx.

oh speaking of rarities. i have this one which is hand written numbered on the label. so im assuming i have number 47 of 300. unless it was a marketing ploy it was the Other Heights #2 release. szare on one side. and then on the other is this other dude you may have heard of, cairo i think

yes all definitely check this. i bought the extended mix a couple weeks back, cant beat 9 minutes of goodness for a couple of bucks

well i have you guys in my follow list so im all good, but yeah maybe for the others post up when you do remixes as well as your origs. i couldnt remember the track so playing it now. tooooooon! \:D/

australia doesnt compete anymore i think (?). but you culd prob go to NZ and compete. im pretty sure i remember hearing in '09 or something big furore how it had died in the ass in oz. we've had some quality acts in the past. ASK stage diving over his decks. dexter i believe made it all the way to the finals but then had to face craze. my bro knows/ use to hang with eko who won some aus dmc awards (dont think he ever got aus champ, maybe nsw). i know after battling he went onto roll with rnb superclub and hooked us up with free entry for bigger events (like their debut in home nightclub which had lines from home all the way to darling harbour. was an absolute failure though. i prefer rnb clubs to be tight as a mofo not to mention i was more from the GAS camp, i.e. t's, TAPs, and chucks)

not that its worth 3.5K!! but its actually a mixer, a dvs system, and a controller. so if you compare that, its not as wtf. (ie $1.3K + $800K plus + $150 - roughly) still pricey as a mofo though! that gold one looks sweet as

Thanks for inviting me....kent

nice idea jonny. sticky icky maybe cupe? then delete this comment

I love Lowrider too

you heading down foolish?

nice little write up on the gig. and its true what they said about how many peeps were singing along, considering they have not done a sydney show for a minute and the last EP release was a few years ago. so bigups to them for doing a full house. next time they should charge hahaha http://www.theaureview.com/sydney/king- ... d-23-09-11 one of the opening acts the firetree were also awesome. kinda folk/ guitar duo from byron. liked them so much i bought their EP from them after their set.

There isan article on djtt i think. Apparently if you get good proper (likely moulded) ones. They are actually better for your ears than cans. Because you wont need to turn them up as loud. But like cupe said they prob cost a mint. Ztrip too did a vid recommending them and how they will save your ears. If i come across it i will post it up.

Nice read jaz sounds like it turned out in the end

Good ol super seal in the top drawer

Nice. Where from mate?

Yeah i know he canadian, i forgot to teef. but who cares about race anyways. I mean you just called atrak white. But in north america they wouldnt because he is of jewish heritage. we all just people

Oh yeah forgot they eventually invited atrak to join. Im pretty sure he aint filo

Filos are asian too man! The entire skratch piklz are of asian heritage (filo). Even mix master mike

I got heaps. Some ive bought recently some i amassed since buying my first records in 1985, the rocky iv soundtrack and a wierd al yankovic album. I have ones older as my aunties would buy us stacks when they got back from the phils. Heaps of breakdance and funk compilations. Ill do a random grab one day and do a write up of track and when i got it.
