Capital Rap Show 11.02.94 with Snoop Dogg, Daz & Kurupt

I was amped to find this tape of Snoop, Daz & Kurupt on Westwood's show from February '94, as I had it back in the day and played it to death to the point where I could pretty much recite the live calls word for word (turns out I still can). This was also the only place I had the dope remix of N!ggaz Don't Give A Fuck which wouldn't appear in better quality until a few years ago. Once I had uploaded the freestyle for one of the first posts on this blog back in 2009, I sold the cassette to some dude in Germany who then stuck in on a CDR and tried selling it , with what I assume was limited success. Diablo's recording ended before the freestyle finished so I replaced it with the high quality copy straight from the DAT that Westwood himself shared a couple of years back,

"fool I got them bomb ass tapes..."

RIP Crazy Toones. Ice Cube and WC's tour DJ and general West Coast OG. Thought I'd throw this one up in his memory as I still play it from time to time and I think it probably went under alot of people's radar...

Rap Thangs That Shoulda Done Happened

  In the first of what might be an ongoing series, I thought I'd put a different spin on Your Favourite Blogger's Favourite Blogger's Unpopular Opinions posts. Its basically fantasy rap / idealistic thinking / me wanting to rewrite history.

#1 - Black Rob should've been on 'All About The Benjamins' instead of Sheek Louch or Lil Kim. Not hating on either of their verses but in 96-97 no-one's removing Biggie or Jada off a track so someone's got to bounce. That beat would've suited Rob down to the ground.

#2 - Ice Cube would've stayed in NWA, released 'Amerikkka's Most Wanted', appeared on 'Efil4Zaggin' and then left the group. This scenario ensures we still get AMW and 'No Vaseline' aswell as Cube over beats like 'Appetite For Destruction'. '100 Miles And Running' would have appeared on AMW as the posse cut ala 'The Grand Finale' on The DOC's album.

#3 - Suge Knight never bails 2Pac out of jail and as a result the beats for 'Ambitionz Az A Ridah', 'California Love' and 'Hail Mary' all end up on Kurupt's solo album, which features Daz, Snoop, Rage etc, and is to 'The Chronic' what 'Only Built For Cuban Linx' is to '36 Chambers'.

More as and when they come to me. Suggestions welcome.
I was lucky enough to be given a fat stack of golden era tapes yesterday. Looks like there's lots of treats in there so keep checking back as they'll begin to appear over the next few weeks.
Also, I'm on Kane FM tonight from 9-11pm (UK time) playing old rap music. Come join me if you can.

Dogg Pound 'Niggaz Dont Give A Fuck' unreleased remix (1993/94)

So it turns out I fucked up a bit on the post below. I thought I'd uploaded the tape rip of this track, recorded from an old Westwood show, but in fact I'd posted a considerably better quality version. Its doesnt seem to be quite CDQ, but its full length and considerably better than whats come before it. I can't remember exactly how I got this but I have a feeling it was on a compilation of Death Row rarieties I downloaded from somewhere.

Oh and if you dont have the original version then go get that. Its on the Poetic Justice OST. Shout out to Tobes

Tracey Lee ft Black Rob, Buckshot, Kurupt & Madd Rapper 'Evo 3000' (1999)

I only discovered this track recently when I found it on a bootleg 12" I picked up whilst out digging the other week. No hook, a heavyweight line up, and definitely typical of the posse cuts that were ubiquitous on albums and mixtapes around the turn of the century.
After reaching out to Tracey Lee he confirmed it's from his unreleased album 'Live From The 215'. I don't recall seeing it online before so here you go...

Funkmaster Flex 'Big Truck Series Volume 1' freestyles (2001)

This 12" a is collection of some of the highlights of Flex's 'Big Truck Series' mixtape. It kicks off with Nas 'Stillmatic' (the dis track over the 'Paid In Full' beat) and is followed by 2 short freestyles by Fabolous and Kurupt. The flipside features Redman and some weed carriers, Busta and Rah Digga, a Foxy Brown freestyle recorded live on Hot 97 and Benzino wraps things up.

I've got the 12" of the Nas track if anyone is need of a good quality/no DJ version.

ONE YEAR OLD!

Its now 1 year since I started this blog. Can't actually believe I've managed to keep it going that long but obviously I had more than enough stuff to upload!

Thought it was only right to big up and thank everybody else who contributed material, reposted links, provided info, left comments and just generally spread the word: Big Ted, DJ MK, Mr Lawson, Mr Greedy, Crate Digga, Spine Magazine, The Martorialist, SOUL, DJ Books, Tapemasta, Dirt Dog and all the heads at the TROY forum and blog, DWG, Daily Diggers, Blufoot, Irish Craig, Junior Pepaseed, Pat Bateman, Jimbo Jones, Vaporized, Mike B, Cosmo Baker, DJ Mike Nice, Shortee Blitz, DJ Mystery, 7L, DJ Ev, Mark 563, Fallacy, Rodney P and probably a whole load of other people. Sorry if I forgot anyone.

Here's a couple of blends for you:

Pete Rock, Inspectah Deck & Kurupt 'Tru Masta'
(over Jadakiss 'We Gonna Make It' instrumental)

Juganot, Joell Ortiz & Uncle Murda 'En Why Cee'
(over Mobb Deep 'Quiet Storm' instrumental)

Dr Dre 'Puffin On Blunts...' (Video)

Another bit of previously unreleased material from the Death Row archives. This was the b-side to 'Dre Day' and was all over the mixtapes back in 1993. Kurupt absoloutely murders it.

Shout to Magneto for the heads up.
