Cassidy murked Freeway in a now-well known "battle"...Free couldn't rap without a beat. I honestly couldn't care less to be honest but Cassidy is the doper in this context hands down IMO. Cassidy is one of those rappers whose careers went left fast. That said, I gotta give props to Meek Mill for a very respectable local hustle...I know that at this point he's a big(by vamosarapiar - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Quotetruseone Im very behind jay but, I've been rocking some Reks really heavy. Im still on the Rebelution Album. Ah lets see, I got the Man with the nIron Fist Soundtrack and The MIc Tyson album by Sean Price. I also copped the Ozone Originals : OC mixtape ( 1993-1996 ). I need more things to listen to. I gotta say, as a big Reks fan I'm not actually feeling that Rebelution album atby vamosarapiar - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Quotejaybrown That Rashad & Confidence joint sounds really good. I have heard a good deal of it , and definitely need to cop it . Thanks for the recommendation Vamosarapiar!!! BUMP as I just finished listening to this album on wax (albeit in two sessions). I actually got two copies of this one and am not really trying to get rid of either!by vamosarapiar - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Aah bet my bad. That's been a project a loong time coming (pause). I'm not too worried about that selling out though to be honest.by vamosarapiar - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Damn, didn't know that Mic Tyson leaked...support music with a purchase people as opposed to just downloading that shit!by vamosarapiar - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
I don't have anything from them unfortunately, I really want that "Eccentric Soul: A RBG Production" shit though.by vamosarapiar - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
That Freedie Hubbard shit is smooth! Very dope, not his finest but a really nice album worth grabbing (cheap and abundant as well!). Freddie Hubbard is the shit through and through, I've got at least a half dozen albums of his and probably another half dozen where he's a session player. I'm sleeping on the modern psych. scene (and any/every psyc. scene for that matter with theby vamosarapiar - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
^^ Oh shit that looks dope, I completely forgot about that album. Defo. gonna have to pick that up (damn if my pockets weren't hurting so bad!).by vamosarapiar - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
This is a super dope mix, really picks up about a third in I think. Really like that Danny Hunt "The Beginning Of The Void" joint, fresh! That 7" is now on my wantlistby vamosarapiar - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
I think him and Action Bronson got a project coming out as well.by vamosarapiar - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Good looks, gonna check this out later.by vamosarapiar - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop

Hey, peep this interview I did with Rodriguez if you're so inclinedby vamosarapiar - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Haha that computer cassette player looks dope! Honestly, I'm sure there are plenty to be copped used for cheap, they've got "newer" technology cassette players as well. I'm not buying enough tapes anymore to do anything but put that project on the back-burner for now but I couldn't turn down those tapes at $1 a pop! ^^Not familiar with that album, thanks for theby vamosarapiar - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Man I slept on that album, artwork is dope too! Al the Chemist is one of the more prolific beat-makers around. Re: Finesse Signature Sevens: Yes, not cheap lol but too dope to pass up for me. To be honest, I gotta hand it to SOS for offering cheaper alternatives to the full set, I think you can probably still cop those records individually from certain retailers. They had it set up that full sby vamosarapiar - Crate Digging: Hip Hop

Aaron Rodgers is killing it! I'm a secondary Packers fam (due to lots of family in Michigan) but the Patriots always come first. The Pats had a tough win yesterday, crazy way to end a game, little too close for me!by vamosarapiar - General Discussion
Unfortunately I don't have a cassette player in my "hi-fi set-up" anymore so I haven't peeped, I'll have to listen on the go with my Walkman.by vamosarapiar - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
My Curtis collection for the most part I think: A few tapes I picked up on the cheap yesterday:by vamosarapiar - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
^^ Nice! Big Curtis fan here as well but still missing a few things. I really don't have much at all of The Impressions and need to step my game up in that area, I bought two of their albums a couple months ago and kinda of missed the mark. I also need to pick up some post-Curtis Impressions when Leroy Hutson was the lead singer (and there was a bunch of subsequent changes as far as I can reby vamosarapiar - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
I really need to grab that Ruby Velle record (along with the couple 7"'s she has out), have listened to most of the album but need it on wax.by vamosarapiar - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Eddie Palmieri - Superimposition Elis Regina - O Melhor De Elis (comp.) Shuggie Otis - Free Flight (repress) Willie Hutch - Ode To My Lady Wayne Shorter - Oddyssey Of Iska That Eddie Palmieri album is straight fire, maybe one of my favorite Latin records. Pure heat on the A-Side and some dope, forward-looking "Latin-Jazz-Fusion" ish shit on the B-side. Its incredible to thinkby vamosarapiar - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Man I wanna go back to Paris! (And the Netherlands for that matter). Dope song, I won't be picking up that release tho. I can't hear that sample without thinking of this song now: Not for everyone but TiRon&Ayomari are true as shit and funny as hell. I've enjoyed their releases.by vamosarapiar - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
IMO there needs to be a distinction between "fresh" and "slept on," I can't think of criminally slept on producers as rookies just cause folks are hearing their stuff for the first time (myself included). Either way, some of those I listed below have been producing for years. A couple producers that may fit the bill -Harry Fraud -Tommy Mas (those Dr. Lecter breaks weby vamosarapiar - Crate Digging: Hip Hop

Listened to the De La Soul "Ego Trippin' (Part Two)" 12" today, dopeness.by vamosarapiar - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
If you haven't heard it, go cop Rashad & Confidence "Element Of Surprise." That was one of THE best hip-hop albums of 2011 and a very dope drop on wax earlier this year. An awesome album through and through.by vamosarapiar - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Quotejaybrown I hope everybody doesnt come after me for this comment , but I've always felt that Nas went downhill frow Illmatic. Like he never made another album that could stand up to it I'd argue with anyone that said OTHERWISE tbh, there is absolutely no question in my mind that Illmatic is--and will always be--Nas' best album.by vamosarapiar - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
I just pulled out that Rasheed Chappell album again a couple days ago, really solid album through and through, one of the best of 2011 for sure.by vamosarapiar - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
I fell off on the Angry Birds thing after the first installment I downloaded, I gotta check out that new one when it comes out, they're always good for plenty of wasted hours haha.by vamosarapiar - General Discussion
