Shazam X - Best of BCC '97

This mixtape is one of my all time favorites. It came out in early '97 so you know all the material is classic boot camp. To this day I have not heard a better put together mix of BCC material then this tape right here.

I do not know much about Shazam X but i do know his best of mixtapes are onpoint. I also have his krs-one/bdp tape. I remember seeing that he made a best of epmd tape and a best of a tribe called quest tapes in '97 as well. Why did I not buy them? I have no idea. I guess at 17 I was saving my money for bus fare or a bigmac meal. But hopefully somebody has these 2 and can upload them for the masses.

Tired as fuck but I stayed up to record this and make it available for the heads because I know yall would appreciate this one. Very soon, I will make sure I have better pics of the cover so you can read the tracklist. Sorry for the blurryness.

LAINK!!!

mixmaster ICE live on 107.5 2003

The legendary, hall of fame dj, mixmaster ICE, somehow made his way from NY to the cowtown that is columbus ohio. In that time he has been here he has hosted many events, dj'd all over the city, and at one time held down the old school blockparty show on power 107.5 every sunday night from 7pm-10pm. I believe the time frame on that was from '01 to '05. Could be wrong but close to accurate.

It was great to hear a legendary dj on the radio in Columbus because we never get shit like that, to this day. And on top of that, they were letting ICE have complete freedom, live mixing on the radio, radio at it's best with the actual dj in control.

This right here is a live mix from '03, the only show I still have on tape. I know I recorded more but seems like this is the only one I can come up with at the moment.

As far as what to expect, anything old school. This was in '03 so you are getting nothing but mid 90's and before. A good mix of r&b and classic hiphop. A great mix to vibe out to on a sunday afternoon cookout type of thing! Oh and to the suckers out there...do your HOMEWORK!!!

So enjoy my 1st tape to digital conversion! Many more to follow.

And a big up to all the mixtape blog/collectors/fanatics out there that are keeping this shit moving..... Tapemasta, brandan, olskool, soul, marioka, dj marz, andyman, oldschool hiphop tapes, gildog, pipomixes, diggersunion...everybody man. Im just now finally cracking the vaults!!! Lets keep it moving!

rob n hood - Best of Scarface

Scarface, I would have to say he is my favorite downsouth mc. His "face to face the world is yours"LP is easily in my top 10 hiphop lp's. I got that tape in rotation in my middle school years when it dropped and it just stays in rotation.

This mixtape is material from scarface's start with geto boys all the way up to material from the fix. I copped this tape sometime in '03 or '04 im guessing. Regardless, it's a double cd mix of one of the best to ever do it.

And this mix is onpoint as well. There is no crazy scratching or super insane intro but the mix does ride well and the songs actually blend together.

Enjoy!

DJ G BROWN - FLAWLESS BLENDS VOL.2

Crazy blend tape from '03. G Brown is one of the most talented dj's in the game today. His tapes are always onpoint and if you don't know about the pure fiyah, you're playing yourself.

Here's an example of a good concept going to work... (open track of flawless blends vol.2)


So after checking that, you need to check for the tape and keep an eye/ear open for G. Brown, espicially that March 9th BIG tape.
