It features 2 previously released tracks in "Unity rap" which is average and "U-N-D-E-F-E-A-T-E-D" which is their finest moment. The unreleased stuff is a track called "Check it out" which is interesting for the (at the time) different beat and the chemistry between the 3 of them, which is nice. The other unreleased joint is called "reverse the verse" and basically has them saying a line and then saying it again in reverse while chanting "we made it up first" (wonder why nobody else tryed it!). The rest of the lp is an a-capella of "check it out" and the bonus beats to "unity rap". So to sum it up, it showcases how they tryed to do something different at the time but unless you don't own the Smokin beats comp that had "U-N-D-E-F-E-A-T-E-D" on it, you're not missing much.

This 'kend...

DJ Shadow - Skratchcon Rehearsal Mix LP (DJ Shadow Handmade Series) Limited Edition Numbered



^Lucky #13! This was a nice suprise to find out Side A featured Zach De La Rocha rapping over Shadows darkest beats, what an amazing performance slept on all these years.

Typical Cats - Civil Service LP



^Some decent Chitown backpacker rap. Some good verbal flows in this.

^^We need a snippet of that Zach de la Rocha joint!

Today I asked my daughter to pick out some random records and this is what she picked:


Mikey D & The LA Posse - Out of control/Comin in the house 12"


Misy Dee & The Melody Crew - Missy Missy Dee 12"


Mixmaster Gee & The Turntable Orchestra - The Manipulator 12"


Biz Markie - All samples cleared cd


Fearless - Creepin' up on ya cd

Hadn't listened to any of them in quite a while. That Biz album is pretty good and that Fearless 4 combeack album isn't that bad either...
