Ghostface Killah - No Pork On My Fork (2004)

Kay Slay hosting a best of Ghostface mix. What else do you need to know before you click the link?

 DOWNLOAD

I didnt scan the tracklist as in true mixtape fashion it's not entirely accurate, but as pretty much everything in the GFK catalogue could warrant inclusion on a CD like this it's not that important (I labelled all the files correctly anyway).

You can still get my 'Tony Starks Collection' of unreleased/obscure/non-LP etc Ghostface cuts here.
Hopefully. Links seem to die stupidly quickly these days.

DJ Chase 'Ha' remix (1999)

This is something that Westwood and Flex played a few times back in the day and I'd been on the hunt for a copy for a while. DJ Chase takes the ill-as-fuck Mannie Fresh beat from Juvenile's 'Ha' and adds the 2Pac, Biggie and Grand Puba verses from Eddie F's 'Lets Get It On'

Tim Westwood with Chuck D (continued)

 I found the second tape of the show posted below. Tim & Chuck speak on Public Enemy, Flavor Flav and the current state of rap (Chuck loves Mack 10) while continuing The Top 10 at Ten. I now remember this show from back in the day as it was the first time I heard 'I Got 5 On It'...

Tim Westwood - Radio 1 Rap Show (1995)

Ah, the summer of 1995. To quote RZA, "everything was lovely". Tim kicks off this show with the first play of 'MCs Act Like They Dont Know' and follows it with some Das EFX, Wu Tang, Kool G Rap and Rakim, plus a KRS One freestyle and a bit of BDP live from 1988. After a few R&B joints at the start of side 2, he's joined in the studio with Chuck D for chat while they count down the Top 10 At Ten...

If you haven't heard, it was recently announced that Westwood will be leaving the BBC after 19 years at the station. Go check The Martorialist for 10 Reasons Why Westwood Will Always Be The Bomb **explosion**

DJ Cinema 'End Of Summer' (2008)

Posts have been less frequent than usual while I make the most of this sunshine. British summers tend to be over way too soon these days so spending them hunched over laptop isn't really the way to go.
Anyway, this blend by DJ Cinema definitely has a summer vibe about it. I called it a blend but its a bit more than that. He's taken that all-too-short piano and vocal from the intro to Oukast's 'Atliens' and made a whole new beat out of it. Add some verses from AZ, Kanye, CL Smooth, Nas and Tony Gambino (I assume he's Cinema's homie) and you've got yourself a dope track.

I've kept this in regular rotation since I grabbed it off Cinema's 'The Chronic' mixtape. It works really well not least because he's gone for some different acapellas and they all compliment each other nicely.
