Just for fun, here's a few pics of tracks that were mentioned already...

1 0:00 (Intro) McGruff and
9 31:18 (Interlude) Closet Dog



^Great 7 inch. On the flip is the spanish McGruff with a totally different voice LOL.



4 4:44 Reality - Missing Kids



^Great 12" out of Shrieveport, LA. The flip has an instrumental with the members calling out all the names of missing children in the US back when it dropped in the 80s. Kind of depressing to hear that "calling out" song. Definitely an odd record.



6 15:41 Just 4 - Games of life



^Truthfully one of my favorite Old School Hip Hop records. I really love the electro breakdown at the end of the song so I left it in there instead of cutting it short.



10 32:22 The Rappin' Reverend - I Ain't In To That



^Easilly one of my favorite Old School Hip Hop picture covers. Dude sounds like Eazy E a little bit, only a Christian Eazy LOL.



11 37:07 Untouchable MCs - Motivation



^Got this for a steal of a deal. A white label, written in cursive pen? How ghetto is that?



13 44:4 Bipo - Crack is Wack



^Love this goofy ass song. I will be using the accapella for a future yet to be determined reason, it has too much potential and it is too fun to ignore.



14 48:30 (Interlude) Keep Playing the Game and
20 59:53 (Outro) Stay in School



^SO much good vocal snippets on that, all of them carefully chosen for scratchable syllables and frankly this helps complete the throw back 80s vibe I was looking for.


17 55:53 Lady Fresh - Black Child Killa (Radio)



^This is one of the DOPEST female rap songs ever. Do not sleep on this 12", I see that there are a few copies on Discogs right now that are cheap! This radio version fit best on the mix, but the remixes are equally dope. This is my favorite song on the mix hands down. Black child Killa was borderline too hard to make this otherwise lighter-noted mix, but the lyrics were on point and it made for a nice change up at the end of the mix IMO. I mixed "Cold Gettin Dumb" in because "Black Child Killa" uses the same stab and I have been dying to mix those 2 tracks together for ages.


I'll throw up more pics later. If you are interested stay tuned.

1. Herb Mays - Man In Drive 7"



^The infamous Herb Mays track LOL. It almost sounds like he was rapping "I'm the man in drag!" which would definitely give this song a different meaning.
