Clip from the original Spiderman cartoon stripped of all original audio, and replaced by my boy The Seoul Avenger. There’s some awesome ADR by D-E CAp! It was a school project. I will post the one of Samurai Jack that I did soon! Look out for the album from The Mighty Avalon & The Seoul Avenger next year!!!
“Never Step on a Scorpion!”
We bringin’ it out West for this week’s mixtape! Southern Cali to be specific. Pac Div are pretty dope! Almost a Dogg Pound meets The Cool Kids meets Little Brother, but not really! (Sidenote: What happened to The Cool Kids?!?!) Anyway, check it out!
Tracklist:

No disrespect to the gang he’s false flagging!
I wonder how much this little foreign kid has….
What can I say, it’s RZA & Ol’ Dirty doin’ too much at some talent show! RZA on the mic and ODB on the beatbox! This has to be from before the Wu debut! It’s crazy how they kickin’ that 5%er stuff [I just noticed 5 & % are on the same key], and then kick a verse about getting head! Classic material!!!! This makes me believe anybody can achieve their dreams!!!! Look at this, and then look at The Wu now!
LOL@ “Turn it up twice or some shit!”
I had to get it grimey after posting that Bad Boy mixtape!

Oh how I miss 1996! Got my drivers license, got my first piece of tail, started blazing (remember how blowed you got when you first started?), was making good money for my age, rocked the fake Tag Heuers from Soho(Mpls), hung out downtown at the City Center, can’t forget about the Skyway movie theater, but what I love best about ‘96 is the HIP HOP! It was crazy! Biggie, Jay, Nas, and Pac were all hot! Can’t forget about what Rae & Ghost were doing to the game, or how De La, The Roots, and The Fugees were holding shit down! I remember that’s when I first started coping mix tapes (actual cassettes). I used to go to the record store on Broadway over north (Mpls.); I think it was called Upstairs Records or something like that (It’s Digital City now). That’s where I got my pager, my ‘Banned From TV’ & ‘I’m Bout It’ VHS tapes, and my mixtapes! I remember getting tapes by Doo Wop, Evil Dee, Lazy K, and DJ Clue… clue… clue! So, I found this mixtape earlier this year, on the internet, that I had back in ‘96, and I downloaded it. Bad Boy Vol. IV mixed by DJ S&S came out right after 2Pac dropped “Hit Em Up” and the Bad Boy/Death Row rivalry had the media going crazy! The mixtape was dope, but I think this is when I started to dislike how Puffy made moves. In the media, he was on some no comment/ bad boys move in silence/ we’re not trying to start trouble type shit, but on the intro to this mixtape, he is talking mad shit to Pac and Death Row!!! It also had the song “Niggaz Done Started Something” with The Lox, DMX, and Murder Mase two years before DMX’s first album came out with the same song on it. In ‘98 it just sounded like a hard ass song, but in ‘96, it sounded a lil more like a battle record towards Death Row! Anyway, those are the reasons I decided to post this one. Oh yeah, it has “Put It In Your Mouth” on it too! Classic.
Tracklist:
If you just want to hear Puffy talking shit you can listen and/or download below:
R.I.P. 2Pac & Notorious B.I.G.
It might not sound like it, but Jay Electronica is an up and coming MC outta New Orleans. A little more Killah Priest sounding than Lil Wayne. He’s worked with J Dilla, Mr. Porter, and Just Blaze. He’s also Erikah Badu’s baby’s father. I got a chance to see him rock First Ave in Minneapolis at the Mos Def show this summer, and he ripped it! Anyway, here are some of my favorite Jay tracks. Enjoy!!!!
