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!

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.

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...

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.
