Comptons Most Wanted - Music To Drive By

CMW minus the white boy who was on the first album (which is still dope) came with the third outing like an East Coast Gangstarr.  Yeah Eiht is pretty much on par with Guru - not like they were incredibly complex word smiths but it was mostly the voice and the production.  Primo even remixed a couple of tracks for Eiht.  Anyhow - this album (minus one or two songs) is solid as a rock.  I threw in Eiht's St. Ides Radio commercial for good measure.  Enjoy responsibly!

Music To Drive By (With St. Ides Commercial)

Three Emcees (Part One) (2012 Analog Remix)

Mysterio decided to revamp the old standby classic featuring E.N.S., Anoir Akbar and Aya Da Storm.  Analog samples were plugged in over a funky drum loop - served up fresh for 2012.

Rare Artist Series: Downtown Science

You know why you are here.  Sam Sever and Bosco money delivered the goods with this solidly produced album from the early nineties.  I have included some of the instrumentals and remixes off their 12 inch records too.

Enjoy!

Mayhem

Mayhem began back in 1995 and continued to infect the globe as it went through various changes.  This is all the stages in a neatly compressed Zip Folder filled with MP3's.

(O.G. Mix, Moosie Moe Guest Spot, 8 Track Remastered, Digital Remix, Analog Remix with Sample Sets and Instrumentals)

Real Emcees (8 Track Remastered)

Mysterio went back to the dusty 8-track tapes and touched up this gem by Claw.

Melquan & Moose U Dont Amaze Me

Old school Universal Sound flavor featuring Melquan (Constant Deviant's M.I.) and Moosie Moe over a Mysterio track.

U Dont Amaze Me

Rare Artist Series: Group Home - The Realness

I was never a huge fan of either of their lyrical skills but Primo blessed them both with incredible tracks.  Guru's production on the album is noticeably wack against DJ Premier's classic tracks and this be one of them.

The Realness

Claw & Big Vic (Freestyle)

Freestyle flows circa 1995.

Rare Artist Series: Statik Selektah - Sam Jack (feat. XV, Jon Connor & The Kid Daytona)

Great concept and ode to Samuel Jackson.  The three emcees completely hit the mark on this one - laying it down over a tight track composed by Statik.  Fucking awesome!

Imagine That

A Cise Rhythm cut from back in 2000.

My Story Is Ruff

Melquan Armstrong came up with this jam back in the mid nineties.  This was before he branched out with the Constant Deviants.

Rare Artist Series: Tom Caruna - Change The Beat

Mysterio remixed this three times and I definitely like his versions but this one here takes the cake and fits so well with Doom's rhymes.  Lovely piano loop.

Change The Beat (Remix)

Living Proof (Freestyle)

E.N.S. free styling over the "Living Proof" instrumental up in ELP's crib back in 1997.

Rare Artist Series: Ice Cube - When Will They Shoot?

This was my joint back in 1992 and when I listen to it today it still gets me amped.  Cube was a rap pioneer and definitely gave numerous songs that made my mix tapes on the regular.   This is one of them.

When Will They Shoot?

Thankful (Take 2)

Anoir and Kwote came up with this joint filled with gratitude with the help of Mysterio, on the boards, back in 2001.

Rare Artist Series: The Juggaknots - Loosifa

I remember getting this on vinyl - back when you just took a chance on records and I was extremely pleased with my purchase.  When they remastered the album for a "proper" release I chipped in and wasn't disappointed.  The follow up to that release really isn't that memorable to me but this song is...

Loosifa

Cosmosis (OG) (8 Track Remastered)

Mysterio dug in the tapes and polished up this posse cut from back in the 1990's.

Rap Pioneer (8 Track Remastered)

Another demo of the song "Rap Pioneer" with this one featuring E.N.S.

Rare Artist Series: Fat Joe - The Shit is Real (DJ Premier Remix)

I never liked Fat Joe.  I thought he sucked on the mic and when Big Pun came around he sucked even more.  However, Primo laced Joe up with this dope track sampling Ahmad Jamal.  Even Joe can't fuck up this track - really.

The Shit is Real

Suckas (8 Track Remastered)

The classic track remastered from the good old 8-Track Recorder.

Rare Artist Series: Phantogram - As Far As I Can See

One of the few songs that I stumbled upon last year which I played and play over and over and over again.  Phantogram brought a multi layered musical dimension to my ear drums and kept them ringing after the record stopped with this clever cut.

As Far As I Can See

Stop On By (8 Track Remastered)

The beat behind the lyrics.

Stop On By (8 Track Remastered)

Rare Artist Series: MF Doom - Quite Buttery

I love this track by MF Doom which can be found on Count Bass D's best album.  The cuts on the long player were short and to the point and this be one of them.

Quite Buttery

Rock The House

Claw and Analytical Rocking The House.

Rare Artist Series: Gravediggaz - 12 Jewelz

This song and the other song "Sunshower" are definitely my favorite RZA tracks.  Forget all the Bobby Digital shite.  He should of dropped that album "The Cure" but never did.  So I will keep these two tracks at the top of his catalog.  Pure Five Percent "Science".
