It’s Mostly The Beats
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010A-Wax & Mally Mall vs. DJ Premier
Monday, February 1st, 2010
A-Wax is doubledragoning up with Sacramento’s Mally Mall for the all-Premier Preemo Jointz affair that should come out later this month. Rapping over DJ Premier beats seems like such a simple path to success…
“Bums” Bonus points to whoever names the original track first…
Nas – It Was Remixed
Monday, November 9th, 2009
Here’s the culmination of the Nas: Remixes series. Check below for the Nas – It Was Remixed compilation.
Nas – Hope (Wyldfyer)
Nas at his best and his worst. In other words, A microcosm of his career post-2003. We’re given a glimpse of his lyricism at its vivid apex, a reminder that after all these years he’s still arguably hip-hop’s best storyteller – only to have it ripped away after a minute and a half so he can launch into some nonsensical tirade about the album title. And oh yeah, rather than pay to use the sample for his album mix, did he opt to run with some shitbag acapella version instead? Of course he fucking did.
Nas – 2nd Childhood (Soul Supreme)
Supreme provides some sultry soul for Nas’ classic meandering hood tale. A criminally underused producer, loved his Saturday Night Agenda album.
Nas – Thief’s Theme (Cookin Soul)
Maybe the last strong street single from Nas, this mix injects some 70s flavor. Can we get a Nas album half produced by these guys and the other half Soul Supreme? The only thing iller would be the sample clearance budget.
Nas – Life’s a Bitch (Arsenal)
This high octane mix breathes new life into the rather melancholy Illmatic original
Nas – Memory Lane (DJ Premier)
Drudging, heavy beat. A dope effort, but I can’t help feeling slightly underwhelmed. It is Premier after all.

R.I.P. Mr. Magic
Friday, October 2nd, 2009
From the words of Premier…
I WANT TO SEND OUT THE UTMOST RESPECT AND CONDOLENCES TO THE MEMORY OF JOHN RIVAS—-aka MR. MAGIC
HE PASSED AWAY THIS MORNING OF A HEART ATTACK…..
TRUE HIP HOP HEADS KNOW THAT HIS HISTORY IS SO LONG
DUE TO HIM BEING THE FIRST RAP MIXSHOW TO EVER BE ON COMMERCIAL RADIO ON NEW YORK’S WBLS–(107.5) WITH MARLEY MARL AND FLY TY IN 1982-1984…….THEN WENT ON TO WHBI IN OCTOBER OF 1984 AND THEN
BACK TO WBLS in 1985 and WDAS in Philly SIMULTANEOUSLYHE PAVED THE WAY FOR ALL RADIO STATIONS THAT EVER DID MIXSHOWS AND ALSO SPARKED THE CAREER OF BOOGIE DOWN PRODUCTIONS DUE TO THE DISS HE SHOWED WHEN THEY CAME TO SHOP THEIR DEMO TO HIM AND WAS TURNED AWAY WHICH THEN SPARKED “SOUTH BRONX†AND “THE BRIDGE IS OVERâ€â€¦â€¦.
HE WAS KNOWN FOR HIS DIRECT AND SARCASTIC ATTITUDE ON THE AIR AND EVERY ARTIST WANTED HIS APPROVAL WHEN IT CAME TO BREAKING NEW RECORDS……..HE EVEN HAD SONGS DEDICATED TO HIM BY THE LEGENDARY WHODINI–(â€MR. MAGIC’S WANDâ€) WHICH WAS SURPRISINGLY PRODUCED BY ONE OF MY FAVORITE ARTISTS THOMAS DOLBY…….
SHOUTS OUT TO MARLEY MARL AND FLY TY FOR THE CORRECT INFORMATION ON THIS……
REST IN PEACE MR. MAGIC………….DJ PREMIER
RIP to a true pioneer. Peace Sir Juice.
