50 CENT – I GET IT

G-G-G-G-G-G-Unit! When 50 Cent had his run it was arguable the hottest one of any hip hop artist ever. Between the multi platinum albums and countless mixtapes 50 and G-Unit fed the streets heat for years. He has since grown into an entertainment mogul displaying his hustler’s mentality and business savvy in his quest to make a dollar. This remix captures that essence of “getting to the bag”. Put it on blast while you’re making your next power move. 🤑💵

THE HOMICIDE FILES

I have lived in Brooklyn for most of my life but for 10 years starting in the early 2000s I lived in Virginia. Shortly after getting down there I met DJ Bee who along with the Legendary Buddha Brothers were the main djs/personalities on the biggest local station 103 Jamz and I was cool with all of them. One day I turned on the radio and the Clipse were live in the studio at the station. I hit up DJ Bee and he told me to come down to meet them. I jumped in my ride and hit the highway to get there.

As I was pulling in Pusha T was pulling out in his black Benz. Malice, now known as No Malice, was still in the parking lot though. I got out and introduced myself to him and he was a down to earth dude. We got into his black Porsche and chopped it up for a few. We exchanged numbers and agreed that we have to do some work together in the future. He would host this mixtape and later down the line I would interview him in Greenbrier Mall for my Ghetto Penthouse TV DVD.

For a time when the South was dominating the game this mix is decidedly more East Coast and underground than what was the popular thing to do. However, it was still well received and a great listen to this day. Below is the entire mixtape. Enjoy and be sure to subscribe to my YouTube page while you’re at it.

THING OF THE PAST

As Sean Price would say in his song Mess You Made, “I guess this rap shit is a thing of the past.” As time goes on those words seems to be more real by the day. There may be flashes of hope occasionally but overall real hip hop seems to be dying a slow death. This remix featuring Jay Z & Jadakiss shows that while the culture is in decline there will always be those who respect the artform and culture in it’s truest form.

THE CARTER

When “New Jack City” came out it was an instant classic. There were countless quotables in that movie. Years later as I was making one of my Napalm projects I decided to tell a story about the Carter. Over an experimental type beat I produced and some “hustler” verses by Biggie and Young Buck I put together an ode to the Carter with the help of some Wesley Snipes soundbites.
