Ghostface Killah 'Mighty Healthy' (DJ Step One blend)

I haven't had any time to rip tapes this week and seeing as I haven't posted one of my blends for a while I thought I'd drop this one on you. I put the acapella of Ghostface's 'Mighty Healthy' over the instrumental to Pete Rock's 'We Roll' and it turned out quite nicely...

I actually really liked the original Pete Rock track with Jim Jones & Max B (seriously!) but Ghostface's vocals fit just as nicely over the Kool & The Gang break.
I was kind of disappointed when PR & GFK hooked up for 'Be Easy' (on 'Fishscale') but hopefully they'll work together again in the future. Once Ghost gets that R&B album out the way of course.

BONUS: Heres where the Soul Brother #1 got the original sample:

Kool & The Gang 'You Dont Have To Change'

KRS ONE, Lord Finesse, Mad Lion & Fat Joe Live in NYC (1993)

I've been told there's a vinyl release of this recording of the 1993 Rocksteady Anniversary. It must be pretty rare though as I've never seen it listed anywhere. (edit: found it on Discogs).Fortunately Westwood played it one night and I had the tape rolling.
KRS drops a freestyle, Mad Lion performs 'Shoot To Kill', Grim Reaper kicks something, Fat Joe rhymes over Redman's 'Tonites Da Nite' beat, followed by KRS doing a verse of 'Sound Of Da Police' and to round it all off Lord Finesse spits an acapella dissing Lords Of The Underground. I love this...

'Niggas need to shut their mouth, with all this "Yes Mr Funkyman!" - them niggas need to cut it out!'

Cant believe it took me this long to get round to posting this. Needless to say, if anyone has the full recording let me know.

I'm still editing the best parts of these shows for future posts. Parts of the friday and saturday nights sets are near identical, plus theres endless plugs for Flex's mixtape and Westwood's club night so I'm trying to keep the repetition to a minimum.
