Memory Man presents Wu Tang vs DITC

Dope new project from Memory Man . He's taken acapellas and instrumentals from the Wu Tang and DITC catalogues and mixed them up with each other, so you get Big L, OC and Lord Finesse over some classic RZA creations and Meth, Ghost and GZA over timeless beats by Showbiz and Diamond D amongst others.
Simple but effective and flawlessly executed.

Eazy E megamix (1995)

Following on from the Cypress Hill megamix, here's an Eazy E one that was issued on a promo 12" in the build-up to the release of his Greatest Hits compliation 'Eternal E'.
Its put together by Shawn 'DJ Speed' Lewis, who cuts together a load of Eric's verses from 'Eazy Duz It' and his NWA material. RIP.

Obligatory MJ post...

I wasn't gonna post anything as there's not really much I can add that hasn't been said already.
Then DJ Premier and Mista Cee's tribute mixes both appeared on the net so it seemed within the spirit of this blog to feature them.

The DJ Premier one is available here. Shout to Gimantalor holding it down for all things Primo related.

Mista Cee's mix on Hot 97 is here. Big up Marioka. Go see him for some classic mixtapes.

Some things I will say on the subject:
* 'Bad' was one of the first albums I learnt the words to start to finish.
* 'Billie Jean' is probably the most reliable, fail-safe record you can own as a DJ. It fills any dancefloor with the quickness.
* I dont understand how his albums sold out. Whats up with all these "fans" that didnt already own 'Bad', 'Thriller' and 'Off The Wall' ?!

Cypress Hill megamix (1997)

Bit of an obscure one this: Armand Van Helden cutting up the 3 singles from 'Black Sunday'.
I picked this up from the Virgin Megastore on Oxford Street back in '97. It was the only copy they had and I've never seen it since. If you're a DJ you'll know that stuff like this comes in useful when you're in need of a break (not that I ever get to play music like this out)...

Teddy Riley: King Of Swing - mixed by DJ Superix

Excellent set of Teddy Riley produced joints mixed by DJ Superix.
TR doesnt seem to be mentioned too much when Hip Hop heads discuss influential producers but his success through the late 80s to early 90s was pretty much unmatched. Last I heard he'd gone bankrupt and was selling off his studio equipment.

Harry Love on One FM (1998)

This is Harry Love live on Westwood back in June 1998 when he was rolling with the Scratch Perverts and going under the name DJ Elmo. Its a nice mix of the indie gems and underground bangers of the time. If you've heard him DJ before then you're probably downloading this already.
