The other day I made a "Hellafied Gangsta Sh!t" playlist for when I mowed the lawn. I straight ice cold grilled mofos as I cut the greens in my grass stained shelltoes. (gangsta)
You can't front of Cube, Dre, Snoop, Eazy E, Da Lench Mob, Compton's Most Wanted, Dogg Pound, Too $hort, Lil 1/2 Dead...
I may make basement music, but sometimes you just want to bump some NWA
BTW the farmer tan is from ice cold grillin' mofos while mowing the lawn.
I know a lot of cats have been wondering what is up with this project. Let me tell you it is STILL in the works. These things take time, if you want to get them right. A project like this also isn't as easy as locking yourself into your studio, dropping some beats and recording. So to feed your hunger pains, here are a couple scratch joints from the project.
For those of you that don't know, this project is exactly what the tile suggests. I'm taking the same samples that were used on classic hip hop songs and flipping them in a new way. On this project I'm mostly focusing on the production. I'll be on a few joints, but I'll be more behind the boards.
Dig it, hit me up and support. (that's all I can say) I'm really hoping to eventually get this project finished.
Found this gem at a TJ Maxx in Terre Haute of all places. I'm sure 99.9% of the people there that came across that shirt just scratched their heads and continued digging till they found some ugly/discontinued Ralph Lauren.
This is one of the last minute tracks that's being added to "Dub Styles." It's like "Godfather III" with this project. "Every time I think I'm out, they pull me back in."
I just though that I had to do something with this classic sample and I didn't want to throw this on a Vol. 2. (so we're adding it to Dub Styles since it hasn't officially dropped)
16 bars... on some battle ish... cuts... nuff said.
This is a short snippet from Soundbombing 101 last Saturday. I was in a production feature where Indy producers and beatmakers played some of their heat. J.Brookins, Longevity and Joe Harvey all played some heat. This is a beat from a track I'm working on for the untitled Dawhud LP called "Hey Baby (like that Anna.)"
Sorry about the blur and WTF camera because I was playing the beat and trying to record the video with my iPhone at the same time. HAHA
For those of you in Indy, DON'T sleep on the Soundbombing 101 show every month at Locals Only. From what I was hearing from Joe Harvey, the production portion of the show is going to turn into a dope little showcase paring up producers with emcees to do some dope ish for the show. Sounds dope.
Here's a little info on the track. The 45 I used for this I found at an antique store when I was still in Seattle. My wife and I went up to Snoqualmie, WA which is where they filmed "Twin Peaks." It was this little 45 that actually was warped at the beginning of the the 7". I didn't use the 45 till after I moved here and I was making beats for the Skribble Jam beat battle in 2008. I kind of forgot about the beat because I've just been working on other projects, but had an idea of what I wanted to do with it. (well... originally... regardless I still forgot about the beat.) Then when Joe Harvey asked me to come through for the production set I was diging through some beats and dug up that beat. (BLAM)
Alright suckas... you didn't get this from me. HAHA This is a rough mix of the project. I am still working on the mixes for the project and I think I will be adding one more track. It's mid July and the whole thing was to get a version of this out for the summer. Well... here's a leak/preview version of the project for you all to crack a Corona and chill to. (or Red Stripe if you're kickin' it Ras Trent style) The few peeps that got the 1st rough draft will notice some changes and that it's been cleaned up a bit. Like I said I'm still working on it and I'm hoping to have a FINAL version ready.
Just to let you know the project is 1 track. (not broken up into individual tracks) I did it like that because I wanted to hear how the whole thing flowed together.
Also know this... this link is only good for 100DLs and will expire after 1 week. If you do whatever with it, so be it, but know this link will die.
