03/12/07 - Mixtape Monday - Various DJs

J-Banks · 03-12-2007, 07:59 AM

— Shaheem Reid and Jayson Rodriguez, with additional reporting by Rahman Dukes and Bridget Bland

DJs: Mick Boogie and Terry Urban, the Frank White Collective and DJ Vlad

Representing: Biggie, Brooklyn, the best!

Mixtapes: The Frank White Collective's The March 9 Mixtape, Boogie and Urban's Unbelievable: A Tribute to Biggie Smalls and Vlad's Hot in Here 8: All-Star Edition

411: It's a lot this week — so much that we had to give you three main picks. In the last edition of Mixtape Monday, we told you all about how Mister Cee was releasing his own Best of Biggie this week; now we have more Big coming. Two more mixtapes are paying homage to Frank White, and both capture DJs actually going into the studio and acting like producers, blending Big's vocals with original and already-famous beats. With Friday having been the 10-year anniversary of his death, the timing is perfect. But isn't it always perfect timing when you hear Biggie?

And since we're talking skills, let's throw in Vlad the Butcher. He doesn't have anything Big-related, but we decided to give his latest some shine, given the strength of his now world-renowned Butcher Blends.

Joints To Check For:

* "N---az Bleed (Streiht Up Remix)" from The March 9 Mixtape. "The goal of March 9 was to bring B.I.G.'s dark storytelling to life with sinister beats that would enhance the stories," detailed one of the project's two DJs, who are asking to remain nameless. " 'N---az Bleed' is a great example because it is one of Big's illest gangster stories, so we paired the vocals with one of the illest gangster beats of all time, MC Eiht's 'Streiht Up Menace.' That beat captures the essence of 'Menace II Society' and is so powerful, and you would never imagine Big rhyming on it, but it works — and it completely changes his rhyme and makes it sound like a new song. After we paired it with the beat, we actually went in like a movie sound engineer and laced the backdrop with sound effects to help illustrate the story even further, almost like B.I.G. is narrating a movie. The result really demonstrates how vivid the man's imagination was, and how well he could paint a picture with words."

* "Escape From New York" (featuring Prodigy) from Unbelievable: A Tribute to Biggie Smalls. " 'Escape From New York' was one of my favorite Pete Rock beats from back in the day, and Big had that classic '90s sound," Boogie said. "So it just made sense. Adding Mobb Deep made it better.

* "You Don't Know" from Vlad's Hot in Here 8: All-Star Edition. "I blended Eminem and 50's 'You Don't Know' with Lil Scrappy's 'Gangsta Gangsta,' " the Butcher said. "I messed around with the choruses, so 50 and Scrappy are playing off each other's words. I try to match the feel of the two songs; both were real aggressive. I just put them together on some creative sh--. But hey ... whatever works."
