dirt_dog Remix Pack 3

Here we go again with round 3 of the dirt_dog Remix Pack. For this set of 5 songs I decided to go with the Pete Rock and DJ Premier remixes that I used to bump from my cd single collection. Whenever a discussion about great remixes comes up, everyone praises the Pete Rock "Shut Em Down" remix. Personally I love it too, but I've always felt that his version of "Nighttrain" was completely overlooked. If you missed Remix Pack 1 or 2, go HERE or HERE.

Remix Pack 3

01 Public Enemy-Nighttrain (Pete Rock Strong Island Mt. Vernon Meltdown)

02 Shyheim-On & On (Premier Remix)

03 Das EFX-Real Hip Hop (Pete Rock Remix)

04 Blahzay Blahzay-Danger (DJ Premier Remix Street Mix)

05 EPMD-Rampage (Hardcore To The Head Mix) feat. L.L. Cool J

Stretch n Bobbito Treats: Shook Ones Pt.1 (Beatnuts Remix) + EPMD - Rampage Demo

"Someone offered me $500 for the acetate of the Beatnuts' remix of Mobb Deep 'Shook Ones Part 1'." - Stretch Armstrong

The above is quoted from this interview with Stretch Armstrong by DJ Eli over at the TurntableLab's blog. Check the interview here.

I had this on a cassette dubbed from the infamous Stretch and Bobbito show back in 94 and didn't realize it was a Beatnuts remix. I always figured it was a Stretch homemade remix or an acapella blended over a rare instrumental. Well, needless to say, I lost that tape probably within a month of taping it off the radio and recently is the first time I heard it since. Now, I'm not really a religious guy in any way at all. But I always thought that if there was a heaven, all my lost Stretch and Bob tapes would be there along with everything else I ever lost. Like all my WBAI, WNYU, Red Alert, Hank Love and Halfpint, and Awesome Two tapes. Plus all the shows I didn't have on tape. Not to mention every rare piece of vinyl ever pressed in the world. In this heaven, I would have unlimited copies of everything and my celestial neighbors would envy my godly collection. But in order for them to get a copy of anything[which I have unlimited amounts of anyway] they would have to offer me up 3 virgins of different ethnicities for me to have my way with. If heaven is anything like that at all, may the good lord strike me down before I finish this post.

Oh well. Time to stop dreaming and move it on along. Here's another excerpt from that Stretch interview:

"Ha- well you did manage to get me to give you the EPMD/LL Cool J "Rampage" demo. How ill is that? We used to play that on the air like it was no thing. For those of you that don't know it, the beat is different, and you hear the 2" stop, LL tell the engineer to take it back to the top, and then he spits rhymes that never made the album. It's a demo, but it's also a snapshot of the recording, hearing LL talk and experiment a little."

Yeah, I had this one on tape, too. I'm not sure if the one we have for you here is the entire version of that demo. But, hey, it's 3 minutes of some ill hip hop history. LL destroys it, as he was hungry again at that time trying to get back in the limelight. You'll notice that PMD spits the famous, "While you were banging on tables, I was banging Snow White," backwards. Instead, he says,"While I was banging on tables, you were banging Snow White."

After I stop typing, enjoy both the Shook Ones Beatnuts remix and the partial Rampage demo. Thanks go out to jamo609 and serch4beatz, both of the Philaflava T.R.O.Y. forum. The amount of rare Stretch and Bobbito shows and hard to find mid 90's mixtapes that these guys have been uploading is abundant. Don't sleep, that's only one thread out of hundreds where these got unearthed. Last week officially marked my first year as being a part of the Philaflava message boards, and I can't stress enough how conducive to my hip hop life it has been.

If you're not down, do yourself a solid and join up. You won't regret it. Just make sure you go directly to the T.R.O.Y. forum.

DJ Mister Cee “The Best Of Redman”

Once I got my hands on the Method Man mix, I discovered there was one for The Funk Doctor Spock. Sold. Again with this Mister Cee mix, nothing too fancy, nothing too special, one good freestyle, several remixes and one live track. But the real catch on this disc are the two unreleased tracks. Ten years later (or so), I believe this is the only place you can find them.

01 Redman-Freestyle (Live At Russel Simmons' Phat Jam)

02 EPMD-Hardcore feat. Redman

03 EPMD-Headbanger feat. K-Solo & Redman

04 Redman-Blow Your Mind

05 Redman-Time 4 Sum Akshun (Original & Remix)

06 Redman-Tonight's Tha Night (Original & Remix)

07 Redman-Redman Meets Reggie Noble

08 Redman-How To Roll A Blunt

09 Redman-I'm Getting Blunted (Unreleased)

10 Redman-A Day Of Soopaman Lover

11 Erick Sermon-Swing Over Here feat. Keith Murray & Redman

12 Hurricane G-Milky (Unreleased) feat. Erick Sermon & Redman

13 Keith Murray-How's That feat. Erick Sermon & Redman

14 Redman-Rockafella (Remix)

15 Redman-Can't Wait (Original & Remix)

16 Redman-We Run N.Y. feat. Hurricane G

17 Redman-I Get Down Like That

18 Redman-Where Am I

19 Biggie Smalls-The Points feat. Coolio, Big Mike, Doodlebug, Buckshot & Redman

20 Redman & Method Man-How High

21 Redman & Method Man-Freestyle (Live On Angie Martinez's Radio Show, Hot 97, NY)

22 Montell Jordan-Somethin' 4 Da Honeyz (Remix) feat. Redman

23 Boyz II Men-Vibin' (Remix) feat. Erick Sermon, Keith Murray, Redman & 2 To Da Head

24 Aaron Hall-Curiousity (Remix) feat. Redman

My original cover was in a sorry state, so I scanned it in, cleaned it up and threw in all new type exactly the same as the original. Coming soon will be “The Best Of The Notorious B.I.G.” and “The Best Of Mobb Deep” in the series.

Ask and you shall receive

Today we received an email (see below) asking if we had the Knucklehedz track "Headrush," unfortunately I didn't have the cut on hand but I knew where to look. Within a short period of time the request for the track was not only fulfilled but the thread became a flood. Now we definitely aren't the first to blog about this album, but we will do our best to fulfill every request you send us.

Remember the world's greatest forum dedicated to our favorite era is just is a click away. If we don't have an answer for you, we'll get it because T.R.O.Y. is the gift that keeps on giving.

Peace,

Big fan of your site...hoping you can help me out with a lost gem. In 1993, Parrish Smith released these two white kids out of LI called the Knuckelheads. Their a-side ("ALL SHE WANTED") got the most burn, but there was bangin b s-ide ("Headrush")that only saw the light of day on red alerts show back in the day. Ive been searching for the record for over 15 years now. I've asked parrish himself and anyone within the camp for a copy of this record to no avail. Based off your impressive uploads, i have to ask... Would you happen to have this?

Keep up the good work,
