Jay Swing - Up In This Bitch! (Mixtape)

jswing — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 14:17:48 -0500

This mix is on some rap shit... it was recorded 10 years ago... in a time before serato... where recordings still had record pops... when people actually searched out and bought records... in an actual record store no less... ah, the good 'ol days!

Treats #87 - CHRISTMAS RAPPIN' (Full Audio) feat. Maestro, Rascalz, Swollen Members, Kyprios, Defenders & The Incredible Ease

Jay Swing — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 20:14:29 -0600

On Dec 22th, Bar None was the place to be for an event 15 years in the making (as Swollen Member's Prevail called it). The party was Christmas Rappin', a Donnelly Fund charity event for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank that doubled as DIPT's 10 Year Anniversary party. The main event of the evening were the performers who lent their name and talent to a great cause that helped raise over 13k for the food bank! Maestro Fresh Wes, Rascalz, Swollen Members, Kyprios, Checkmate & Concise, DJ Kilo-Cee & The Incredible Ease, and DJs THOSE MFs all tore the house down and made Christmas Rappin' a legendary evening (also as Prevail put it). Below is the audio of all the performances (except for "Drop The Needle" due to the recording F'n up for some reason), including the highlight of Flipout's life getting to be Maestro's hype man for "Let Your Backbone Slide"!

Treats #69 - Dr. Dre Mix Tapes (1985-1989)

Jay Swing — Tue, 12 May 2009 03:49:08 -0500

Here are a bunch of Rap Treats from motherfuckin' Dr. Dre. They are the mix tapes that Dre did from 1985 to 1989 including the 5 tapes he did for the Rodium Swap Meet. We actually posted a few of these before that you can check HERE and HERE but I figured all the tapes on one post makes more sense. These tapes are dope. Every song on them is a big tune and Dre went off on the mix. It sounds like he used an 8 track because most of these, especially the Rodium tapes, are the definition of a megamix. On top of that, Dre also jumps on the mic and gets Eazy-E and Ice Cube to rock some intros. The crazy thing to me is that Dre's career was in full effect when he was making these (first with the World Class Wrecking Crew and then with N.W.A.). It's dope to me that Dre still has the itch to put out mix tapes when N.W.A. was changing the rap game and getting the feds excited. Remember, these are Mix Tapes. Which means they were recorded off cassette tapes so embrace the hiss and take them for what they are - a slice of history. For some bonus Dre, peep the video below of Dre mixing back in his World Class Wrecking Crew days. Enjoy!

Treats #65 - Bad Boy Mixtapes Vol. 1-4 ('95/'96)

Jay Swing — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 00:30:49 -0500

These are Volumes 1-4 of the Bad Boy mix tapes that came out in the mid 90's. This was the era when mixtapes were actually mixed on cassette tapes. Before the internet was poppin, this was the place you could get exclusive freestyles as well as all the newest Bad Boy records from BIGGIE and crew. These tapes also had all the hottest records of the moment, not just a bunch of Bad Boy artists. Add to that they were hosted by Puff Daddy and mixed by the hottest DJs in NYC at the time and these are classics right here.
