KRS One - Future Flavas on Hot 97 (1994)

Before Pete Rock and Marley Marl made the Future Flavas show famous, it was hosted by KRS One (yeah I thought that was a bit weird too). Here's 40 minutes from a tape Tobes gave me a while back. Method Man, Bootcamp Click, Keith Murray, Death Camp and Mad Lion all feature.

Funkmaster Flex & Cam'ron on Hot 97 (2002)

KFC on Hot 97 around the time Come Home With Me dropped. Baby phones in to the station for a bit of a love-in and we get a couple of Dipset mixtape joints (the Guess Who's Back and Show you freestyles) and the Oh Boy/Oh Girl remix which was never all that but by all accounts still better than the shelved mix that Jay Z did a verse for.

Beanie Sigel live in NYC (2002)

The Broad Street Bully live on stage in New York. Bit shouty but that's rap concerts for you. This also carries on the great hip hop tradition of the hype man's mic being louder than the main artist at times.

G Dep - Hit Em High (2001)

Just found this unreleased G Dep track tucked away on a Crib Underground 12". Nothing mind blowing but a solid enough effort that should interest any fans of early 00s Bad Boy material. I think it might be produced by Clark Kent. A brief search throws up appearance on a couple of mixtapes by Clue and PF Cuttin, and a MySpace page, which seems like something from another lifetime. Annoyingly, Audiomack seems to have done away with it's download feature so here's a Mediafire link.

I've dropped a few more Westwood shows on the archive in the last couple of days.

Peanut Butter Wolf on Radio 1 (2000)

DOWNLOAD

I never really delved too deep into the whole Stones Throw thing so I'm not massively familiar with Peanut Butter Wolf, but here he is in the mix on Gilles Peterson's Worldwide show on Radio 1 mixing up some hip hop, soul, breaks and quirky shit, which was very much the style at the time.

I never checked Gilles Peterson's show much at the time either, as it was hella Jazz Club for the most part, but every now and again he'd get some rap people on there. I believe one of my fellow tape rip blogger dudes might be dropping some of those shows in the future, once he's filtered out all the tabla, bongo and sitar business.

it's the links baby, it's the links...

I haven't had time to do anything blog related recently so here's some things that have appeared online elsewhere that may be relevant to your interests...
