TaPeMaSTeRS iNc. & KeYZ PReSeNT - "2PaC: Runnin` WiTH An OuTLaW"...

Since I didn`t have any cassette rips to share for the Tuesday Tape Rip series this week I figured that I could at the very least share with y`all this mixtape that I`ve been listening to for the last few days. Lately there`s been quite a few 2Pac news articles being published on the various Hip Hop news sites, so naturally I`ve been checkin` `em out. I can only guess that all the media attention given to `Pac was due to the fact that his birthday had just passed on June 16th. Anyway, all that reading that I was doing also led to me dustin` off this mixtape presented by Tapemasters Inc. & Keyz titled "2Pac: Runnin` With An Outlaw" which they released back in 2005, it`s a pretty solid effort overall. They definitely made some great selections when it came to the songs that they picked for this mixtape. Since it was the 12th edition of their Collabo series Tapemasters Inc. & Keyz decided to choose some of 2Pac`s better collaborations although some of them were created after his death like "Loyal To The Game" with 50 Cent & G-Unit or "N.I.G.G.A." with Jadakiss for example...


The only downside (it`s only minor) about this joint is that they chose to use the edited version of the `Pac & Scarface collabo` "Smile". Aside from that though this joint is almost a 5 star effort. I think had they used the original versions of "Loyal To The Game", "Runnin`", "One Day At A Time" & "Military Minds" then this mixtape would`ve been gold star sticker worthy....LoL, my opinion of course. I`ve never been a super huge fan of `Pac like say my cousin Dawson is, but I definitely am a fan of the man`s work! He had some great charisma on the mic & when he spit his lyrics you definitely felt them. Whether he was spittin` DiSSeS, some political ish or even some positive uplifting stuff for the women, whatever it was he made sure that you experienced some type of emotion. It really is a DaMn shame that he was taken away from us so early in his career! I`m sure he would`ve been doing some great things had he not been killed in Las Vegas. Hopefully someday soon in the near future they can figure out who was TRULY responsible for taking his Life so justice can be served & we no longer have to see the theories (here`s a nice lil` article about some of them). Wishful thinking, yes I know, but hey I had to put it out there. Anyway take a lil` trip while listening to this joint & enjoy some of `Pac's best collaboration songs spanning from early in his career all the way to after his death. I`m sure you`ll like it even if you aren`t a 2Pac fan...

DaZ DiLLiNGeR`s "ReTaLiaTioN, ReVeNGe & GeT BaCK [HeRBaN DeLuXe VeRSioN]"...

Another album gets the HeRBaN DeLuXe VeRSioN treatment, this time around it`s an album that was originally released back in 1998 on the infamous Death Row Records. The album in question is Daz Dillinger`s "Retaliation, Revenge & Get Back", which just happens to be his first solo outing. It`s a pretty decent album in my opinion, I just think that it tends to get over~looked because it was released during a period of time when Death Row Records was basically on it`s last legs. Dre was gone, Snoop was gone, `Pac was murdered & label head Suge Knight was incarcerated. It`s safe to say that things weren`t looking so good for the label, but ya got to give Daz some credit instead of jumpin` ship when all this was happening he decided to take on the role as head producer for the label...


A move of desperation? Maybe so, but I`m thinking that Daz knew that there was still a treasure trove of material left at the Row & he wanted to get his hands on `em. Or maybe he was just trying to keep the label alive because after all he was one of the kats that helped make it as big as it once was. Only Daz really knows for sure, but that`s another story altogether anyway. As for the album Daz was able to oversee the entire project by himself since Suge wasn`t around. Dr. Dre was also absent from the mix so he couldn`t take away any production credits from Daz Dilly. A lot of folks out there mention the fact that some of these songs were probably meant for a second Dogg Pound album seeing as how Kurupt is featured on 4 tracks, it`s a possibility I`m sure. Maybe Daz decided to rescue the tracks from the vaults for his own album seeing as how Kurupt had also left the label when ish began to hit the fan. Either way I`m glad they made his album because they ended up being some of the iLLeR joints on the album...


I guess since Daz was handling most of the production duties (Soopafly co-produced 2 joints) he felt the need to have plenty of his homies featured on the album. Or maybe it was a way for him to complete the album much sooner than he would have if he was doing everything on the solo tip. I`m thinking the latter since the label wasn`t standing on the most stablest of grounds. Daz was probably thinking, "Hey I gotta get this shit out ASAP!" Whatever the case may be it worked out for him because most of the contributions that the featured artists bring to the table compliment the album. Daz sure did a great job when it came to the beats for this project, they definitely bang hard! Some G-Funk at it`s finest, that goes without saying. Something interesting to note about the album`s cover art, it was highly influenced by the Marvin Gaye`s "In Our Lifetime" album cover art...






Now let`s talk about the music & the lil` ''enhancements'' that I made to the album shall we? First off there wasn`t a whole lot of room to include much in the likes of extras, actually I was only able to add one whole track to the album since it`s just under 75 minutes in length originally. So I chose to add the "It Might Sound Crazy [Rmx]" which features the legendary Too $hort just like the original version. I was going to add the track titled "Pimp City" that was originally included as a bonus cut on both the vinyl & cassette versions of this album, but decided against it even though the track is a banger. For those interested in it though it`s produced by Soopafly & he`s also featured on the song. It later went on to appear on Soopafly`s debut album titled "Dat Whoopty Whoop"...


As for the other adjustments that I made to this album they`re more on the minimal side of things when compared to the other albums that I gave the HeRBaN DeLuXe VeRSioN treatment to. Nonetheless some changes were made, the main one being that I took the Intro that was attached to the album`s opening song "Gang Bangin` Ass Criminal" & made it it`s own track (the first one of course). Not sure why the album`s Intro was tacked on to the beginning of the first song anyway, I feel that it`s a stupid idea. I`m sure plenty of folks just ended up skipping over the opening song because of the long~ass Intro, it`s over 2 minutes in length. It`s a DaMn shame too because "Gang Bangin` Ass Criminal" is one of the album`s better songs. So on this version of the album the Intro gets it`s own track so the listeners can get to the opening song without any delay...


"It`s Going Down" features Daz`s partner in rhyme Kurupt as well as the late Prince Ital Joe spittin` bars over a nice thumpin` beat, definitely a trunk thumper! On the funky & smooth`D out "Playa Partners" Daz invites B-Legit & Bo-Rock (of Dove Shack fame) to contribute to this braggadocio track, the end result is a pretty enjoyable listen. On "It Might Sound Crazy", the pimpish collabo` with Too $hort I made some small adjustments to the track`s opening & ending (volume~wise). This way you get to hear the lil` convo` Daz & Soopafly have at the beginning of the song about their feelings on bitches & also the closing bitch clownin` that Daz does at the song`s ending, CLaSSiC material indeed."Our Daily Bread" is another collabo` that features Kurupt & Prince Ital Joe. The beat, at least to me sounds kind of like "If We All Fucc" from the Dogg Pound`s debut album "Dogg Food". The song`s vibe however isn`t sexual at all, more on the G`d up tip as the gun shots at the beginning of the song indicate...





"In California" is one of the album`s singles & it features Val "Lady V" Young singing on the hook. It has a nice lil` G-Funk vibe to it, showin` Cali some love with it`s catchy chorus. For me it`s the perfect Summer time type of joint. "Initiated" is a Dogg Pound, 2Pac & the Outlawz collabo`, or "Thug Pound" as `Pac puts it....LoL, this joint was obviously recorded before `Pac's passing seeing as how he shouts out both the Pound & the Outlawz in the track`s opening seconds. The beat on this joint bangs hard & helps to make it another one of the album`s stand~out tracks. "Oh No" featuring J-Money & Tray Deee is really nothing super spectacular. The beat`s dark & thumps pretty hard while the hook may have ya thinking of that Nate Dogg, Mos Def & Pharoahe Monch joint with the same title, but verse~wise there`s nothing to really talk about...


On the album`s title track "Retaliation, Revenge & Get Back" I made some small volume adjustments to it`s opening so you can really hear Daz taking one of them "$20 pulls".....LoL, the track itself is the only solo song that Daz has on this entire album. The beat definitely meshes well with his vocals, only thing that I don`t understand is who he`s referring to on the track. Who is he out to get revenge on? Those that left the Row during that time period? I`m just a lil` curious. Next up is "O.G.", a collabo` with Snoop & the late great king of hooks Nate Dogg. The beat`s got a nice smooth`D out vibe to it that`s a perfect backdrop to compliment Nate`s singin` on the song. I wonder how Daz was able to slip this joint onto the album seeing as how Snoop wasn`t affiliated with Death Row at the time of this release???


"Baby Mama Drama" tackles the subject of child support, kids & the always lovely baby mama stresses, the song features both Big & Lil` C-Style. It`s not a bad track, but it`s not one of the album`s strongest either. Daz follows the drama up with a love song.....LoL, not the greatest of transitions but that`s not really what`s funny. I just find it comical that Daz takes the time to drop a joint that professes his love for a woman without spittin` any cuss words until he gets to the end of the song & yells "Beeyatch!" Val "Lady V" Young & Big Pimpin` Delemond make appearances on "Only For U". On "Ridin` High" I made some small volume adjustments to the opening seconds of the song, just so you could really hear Daz`s shit talkin`, this song features WC & C.J. Mack. Dub & Daz have a good chemistry together, I guess that`s why they ended up workin` on that DoPe collabo` album together...


The opening seconds of "The Ultimate Come Up" received a lil` volume adjustment, just wanted to boost the levels a bit so we could really hear it. As for the song itself, it`s alright I kind of expected it to be a lil` iLLeR than it is though since both MC Eiht & Bad Azz are featured on it. All three artists deliver some so~so verses, but nothing quote worthy. On "Thank God For My Life" Daz gives a shot at spittin` an inspirational track that sort of makes for an awkward listen. Maybe it`s just his singin` on the hook that ruins it for me....LoL, anyway the song also features Tray Deee, Soopafly, Big Pimpin` Delemond & Bad Azz. The Outro "Why Do We Bang?" has Daz just giving some shout outs to his homies & also has him talkin` some shit as well. He doesn`t really elaborate too much on the answer for the question at hand, but whatever it`s an outro that you`ll probably hear once & then you`re good. That`s where the original album would have ended, but I added an extra joint for your listening pleasure & that track is the "It Might Sound Crazy [Rmx]". Again it features Too $hort & a different beat with more of an R&B type of vibe to it, gone are the adlibs of the chick thru~out the song & also the cussin`. It seems like it`s more of a radio version than an actual remix, but it`s still enjoyable none~the~less... 




So there you have it y`all, peep the album...

2PaC`s "DeaR MaMa" [CD SiNGLe]...




What`s happenin` y`all? Hope all is well! Today I`m dustin` off a CD Single from the late great 2Pac for y`all. This one was released in 1995 thru Interscope Records & it features 6 tracks in total; 4 songs & 2 instrumentals. Most of the joints on here are from his 1995 album "Me Against The World", but there`s also the hardly heard Moe Z. Mix of "Dear Mama" as well as a joint off the Thug Life album titled "Bury Me A G". I`m not really a big fan of the Moe Z. Mix, it`s not a bad track I just feel that the original beat helped capture the emotion behind `Pac's lyrics a lot better than the one Moe Z. provided. Two of my favorite 2Pac songs are on this single, those being the heart~felt "Dear Mama" & the Hip Hop ode "Old School". It`s definitely awesome to hear `Pac spitting about his love for both his mother & also Hip Hop, the later was a topic that he didn`t really speak on very much in his short career so it`s most definitely a treat to hear him BiGG`n up Hip Hop`s place of birth New York. Go on & check out these tunes, they`re definitely worth the time spent so enjoy...

You see at the time I was a young buck & I really only copped this for the KRS-One, 2Pac, Jeru The Damaja & Fugees features. Once I heard their tracks a few times the CD pretty much sat on my CD shelf until I threw it into a trade deal for some other Hip Hop CD`s later on.....LoL, but now 17 years later I`m truly DiGG`n this for what it is! Honestly all 13 tracks are DoPe & if you don`t feel the comp`s upliftingness (if that`s not a word, well it is now.....LoL) you gotta be one soul~less mu` fucka. Do yourself a favor & peep this joint...

CLaSSiC FooTaGe - 2PaC DeaLs WiTH BooTLeGGeR iN NY...

Finally back to postin` after one of my computers died :( guess that`s what ya get for buyin` a refurb`......LoL, anyway I was thinkin` of starting a lil` weekly thing called "CLaSSiC FooTaGe"; basically just great moments in HiP HoP.  So if y`all have any suggestions please feel free to share `em with me. To start things off we have a lil` clip of 2Pac exchanging some kind words with some kat that was bootleggin` `Pac's ish in New York. I`m not sure of the year that this was filmed, I can only guess & say that this took place while 2Pac was in New York filming my favorite movie "Juice" (but I could be completely wrong, if you know for sure school me!). Check it out, gotta say I kind of expected `Pac to do a lot more......LoL

DJ QUiK`s "The DeaTH RoW SeSSioNS EP" [BooTLeG]...

Re-uPP`d originally posted 05.18.2009...


Jorge said...
Man this album is crazy! Thanks for the link.






What`s good y`all? Today I have something to share with y`all that falls into the bootleg category from West Coast producer/ rapper DJ Quik. Apparently this joint was leak`D to the `Net sometime around 2008, but I`m just getting around to it now. I`m a BiG fan of Quik`s so when I found a compilation of some of the man`s work from his Death Row Records days I was pretty hyped! From what I can tell the tracks on this bootleg are mainly from 1994-1995, DoPe none~the~less. The only real downside for me is that most of the good songs (like tracks 2, 3, 6, 9, 12 & 14 to list a few) all have lil` radio/ DJ tags on `em.......I hate that!....LoL, they`re only a few seconds in length so it`s not really all that bad, just wish I could hear 2Pac`s "Heartz Of Men [Retail Demo Version]" without the lil` tag at the beginning of the track. Oh well, one HiP HoP head can wish can`t he?....LoL



Anyway let`s speak on the music shall we? Standout joints for me are; "Boom" (Quik`s poppin` some shots at MC Eiht on this one), "Late Night" (always liked this 2Pac joint, but never heard this version with AMG on it), "Dollaz-N-Sence [Demo Version]" (much different from the version that was featured on the "Murder Was The Case Soundtrack"; not only is the beat different, but this version doesn`t have a hook & Quik`s homies 2nd II None join him on the track), "Words To My First Born" (even though I have heard this before it`s still a winner in my books). My favorite track on here though has to be 2Pac`s "Heartz Of Men [Retail Demo Version]"!!! 



The intro to the track is very different, `Pac doesn`t mention Suge Knight at all & DJ Quik`s scratchin` is very iLL & on point. Don`t get it twisted though y`all this entire bootleg bangs hard, even the R&B flavored joints are far from weak while the instrumentals will keep ya` head noddin` (side note: for some reason the "Dollaz-N-Sence [Instr.]" gets a lil` choppy towards then end). The only track on here that I didn`t really enjoy is track #10, mainly because it`s a 6 minute & 30 second interview with Suge Knight (the interviewer sounds like Luke of 2 Live Crew fame) that has some shitty sound quality. The only relevance that this interview has to the rest of the bootleg is that Suge mentions the fact that Quik produced a few tracks for Danny Boy.....LoL, this ish could have been cut down by like 5 minutes, oh well overall it`s a good listen so check it out...

"NoToRiouS B.I.G. vs. FRaNK SiNaTRa: BLue EyeS MeeTs BeD-STuY"...

Got another gem to share with y`all today, it`s not new or anything but it is very DoPe so you`re definitely gon` enjoy it! It`s titled "Blue Eyes Meets Bed-Stuy", I heard this Remix~Mash~Up type mixtape when it dropped in 2005 & was really impressed back then...seven years later, I`m glad that I`ve decided to dust it off. What you have here is pure DoPeNeSS cook`D up by two long~time Brooklyn homies DJ Cappel & Smitty along with some help from Jon Moskowitz. They took a few Biggie acappellas & blended them with original beats & voice samples from some Frank Sinatra records. I know it sounds basic, but trust me it`s done really well! It`s much better than the DJ Dangermouse & Jay-Z "Grey Album", so go `head & check it out...

2PaC`s "aLL EyeZ On Me" [PRoMo CaSSeTTe]...

 Re~uPP`d, originally posted on 12. 15.2010...




Clearing out my computer`s hard~drive I came across this file from my homie Row Rider`s blog, so needless to say I`m not the first to bring this ish to the `Net....LoL, however I figured I`d be another one to help share & expose it to the rest of y`all -- especially since the previously mentioned blog has been pretty dead lately...



I`m not really too sure what the story is with this one, but I`m guessing that it was sent out as some sort of promo for 2Pac`s
"All Eyez On Me" album so it was probably released sometime around 1996. The promo starts off with `Pac thanking his fans for everything & then it moves on to a snippet of "Ambitionz Az A Ridah", then a lil` interlude & then it`s on to the snippet of the Snoop Dogg collabo` "2 Of Amerika`z Most Wanted"...

A snippet of "What`z Ya Phone #?", "Got My Mind Made Up" & finally
"Life Goes On" follow. It was all one file about 7 mins. long, but I decided to split the snippets so they`re individual tracks. My apologies on the sound quality, but the original file wasn`t the best -- plus it`s a cassette rip. So take it for what it is & enjoy...

DJ GRaFFiTi PReSeNTs: "ASTRoNoTe - BiGGeR & BeTTeR"...

I missed this joint when it first dropped back in 2009, fortunately for me my homie K-NyNe recently hooked me up with his copy so I could check it out. After giving it a listen I figured that it was something that I should share with y`all, so that`s exactly what I`m doing. DJ Graffiti mixed this joint & Astronote cooked up the beats while Talib Kweli took on the role as host for this Notorious B.I.G. remix project. This was the first time that I heard Astronote`s work, he definitely impressed me though. The backdrops that he created mesh really well with Biggie`s flows, almost like they`re actual tracks that Biggie had worked on. DJ Graffiti does a good job mixin`, scratchin` & blendin` the tracks together in a nice seamless way that makes the listening a lot more enjoyable. So check it out, you will be glad that ya did...

"RaP PHeNoMeNoN I, II & III"...

My apologies for the lack of posts lately, my computer was a lil` fucked up due to some viruses.....but that`s another story not worth sharin`...LoL, anyway to get back into the postin` I wanted to start off with all 3 volumes of the "Rap Phenomenon" series -- some good mixtapes from a few years back. I`ve had `em since they first dropped, but only recently started giving them a true listen. DJ Vlad & Dirty Harry put together the first volume featuring exclusive tracks (at the time), unreleased tracks, freestyles & some DoPe blends of Notorious B.I.G...


DJ Vlad & Dirty Harry teamed up with DJ Green Lantern for the second volume of "Rap Phenomenon" which mainly features blends of 2Pac. The way that it`s put together is iLL! Honestly I`m a huge Biggie fan, but I DiGG "Rap Phenomenon II" more than the first. The third volume in the "Rap Phenomenon" series has a lil` controversy behind it because it`s not in anyway affiliated with DJ Vlad, Dirty Harry or DJ Green Lantern.....so to some it`s not truly part of the series, however it`s a decent listen none~the~less. Voice Of Da Streetz did his thang with the blend`N without question, so check out all three & enjoy `em...
