I'm taking your mixtape with me on my trip, so I will definitely listen to it!
-
alright heres my review.....excuse the length of it but im sure u took time to make the mix so the least i could do was take time for a a review i split the review into two parts since most of the songs i am familiar with i gave my thoughts on each individual song then the cd as a wholeAhh well, doesn't look like my thread is going to be approved anytime soon. Here's my mix:
Ruff Draft Presents... Since We Last Spoke
Tracklist:
1. Since We Last Spoke - RJD2
not much to be said...sets the tempo for the cd and what man in his right mind doesn't like rjd2
2. Greenland - Emancipator
another dope instrumental almost sounds like music from one of my favorite games ever chrono cross....one of the few songs i have not heard...now i have a new artist in my playlist
3. Resurrect Me - Braille
believe it or not braille is actually a christian rapper....a dope one at that, it took me awhile to get used to his voice but once you do your happy u didnt write him off because of it...this song is VERY heartfelt and i actually hadnt heard it before(very rare for that to happen lol) this song WILL become one of my favorites
4. Breath - Grouch
the grouch....best member of living legends imo....that cd show you the world was dope.....this song itself is actually tied for my favorite song on the cd and actually this is probaly my favorite grouch song.."but keeping up with the neighbors wont save ya im deep enough to know myself now thats major/and im proud of me/no male figure to teach me how to be/oh well/to eager to reach outerly/i shouldve known if all was good at home i wouldnt have grown"....hell the whole song is a quotable glad to see the grouch is being heard
5. All I Want in This World - Cradle Orchestra Featuring CL Smooth
Im a sucker for live orchestras what can i say lol ive had this cd for a while and while it was not my favorite track it was in the top 3
6. Father - Fashawn
heard rave reviews but never gave him a listen...until now fits in perfect with the mix but not too sure if i would listyen to a whole cd of him...but will give boy meets world a try
7. Us - Brother Ali Featuring Stokley Williams
hands down my favorite albino rapper lol good choice of song
8. Still Love - Soulstice
just got into soulstice not too long ago defintly gonna have to check this japan release out
9. Meridian Sound (Part One) - Lushlife
cassette city ftw didnt know anybody knew about lushlife
10. Ghostwriter - RJD2
rjd2....nuff said
11. I Rock - Open Mike Eagle
never heard of him before he sounds like he coulve been on a def jux release....translation im gettin the cd asap lol
12. Slums - The Reavers
underrated cd not much to say except i love the song
13. Summertime Running - Mos Dub (Mos Def produced by Max Tannone)
cant believe i didnt know this existed...well i do now and its in heavy rotation
14. On Melancholy Hill - Gorillaz
im 50/50 on the gorillaz kinda got to be in a happy mood to listen to em...i mustve been happy cuz all 4 times i seemed to like it
15. Cold War - Janelle Monae
when i first saw the tracklist i wonderd how she got in there....i listened to how well it flowed with the mix and answered my own question
16. Learning How To Fall - Grieves
decent song
17. Sunday Money - Custom Made
hmmm never heard of him before i liked the song so i will check him out
18. Warm Up - All Natural
females cant rap?....yea jus check this track out n watch that opinion change(she reminds me of apani)
19. Life's A ? - Fashawn & DJ Green Lantern
imma have to be honest here.....hated the song...not that its not a good song but i hate when artist do this type of thing(reks,joel ortiz)
20. Black Sands - Bonobo
perfect way to end a dope mix
Hope you enjoy it. Post Feedback here if you like, as it doesn't seem to me that I can make threads...
overall....i dont think i have to tell u how dope the mix was....kinda got me scared to post mine cuz it might pale in comparision lol
i listend to it 4 times(workin on computers for a livin u find ALOT of free time)...i pick up on little things some may have even been unintentional but genius none the less.....for instance how u went from brailles song resurrect me which is a somber song talking about bring me back to life then the next song is the grouch breath which literally feels like a breath of fresh air kinda in the sense that u are being brought back to life or awakening
the addition of janelle monae was perfect u guessed right...fans of good music are fans of good music plain in simple
props on the mix -
I have a brand new track from Donwill of Tanya Morgan!
Recess (Sene x TheClubhouse) – Dance Pants f. Donwill -

lol man, thanks a lot for the detailed comments, was an interesting read.
Nahhh, post it up!! Sure it will be great, I can't wait for it, I need to hear some new music.
LOL I can't believe you picked up on that, that was intentional, funny. I spend a lot of time putting the tracks into a tracklist and that same comparison clicked when I was putting it together. I find some mixes in-cohesive, which is a shame, but at the same time, not many people have the time to do it and it's more so something that I enjoy doing (I find it an escape from work). It's all the more worthwhile when people pick up on it, so I'm glad you did. Same goes with Janelle Monae, it keeps the mood carrying over. I had to take two Rhymefest tracks out of the mix because I couldn't find a fit for them. I also placed the Cradle Orchestra track next to Fashawn's as the kid on Cradle Orchestra's song finishes the track singing acapella, which then goes into a song about a father... the kid was symbolic of Fashawn. But I'm just a huge nerd.
I'm really happy that you found some new artists, I know you're up on your underground hip hop, figured there might be a few I could recommend to you. Good to hear that you're into Lushlife too, their CD is so well produced.
I couldn't decide on a track to put out from his mixtape (Fashawn), but I thought it was well done considering what beat he's going over. Please don't let this affect your judgement, Boy Meets World is one of my favourite CD's of last year, pretty much my favourite and I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
Looking forward to your mix!! -

Nice pick, Fashawn's album is very, very good IMO, but I'd definitely just let your ears do the listening and just try to experience it from a fresh point of view. -

legendary producer easy mo bee just signed a new artist, check it out www.bbrecordsinc.com

I'm relatively new here but yeah...I stumbled on this site hoping to find other like minded HipHop fans. But this site is lacking in balance and it mostly seems like another payola site pandering to the mainstream.
I love Atmosphere. I hear Slug had a new baby so he has taken some time off. The new Brother Ali is dope. It's a classic in my opinion. Same with the new POS. Haven't been feeling Cage but I dig that he experiments. Sad to hear about Def Jux. I've been listening to ILLUS a lot. His new album with JJ Brown is dope, Feel Good Music. Trying to give him some shine. The new Fashawn is also dope and I am loving anything from Blu.
You should def check Illus and also look out for godAwful. His new one on Bandcamp is siiiiick. -
