T.R.O.Y. Forum regular and blogger in his own right Kimani put together a mix arranged to be burned to two CDs for easy play in your whip of choice:

I recently snagged some digi-mixing software and have been fiddling with it, this mix being the result of said fiddling. Many (if not most) of these tracks are thanks to the superb uploaders of this forum, which is the main reason why I felt I could post it here, even if no one bothers to listen to it. I didn't do all too much to it, being that I liked these songs the way they were and that messing with mp3s is just weird. Anyway, here it is, I enjoy listening to it (bias?) and I figured others may as well.

Summer In The City Samples

Posted: 09 Jan 2009 11:00 AM CST

It is easily one of my favorite soul-jazz tracks of all time, and I'm sure that a lot of legendary producers could say the same. Stay tuned for a Quincy Jones samples compilation, which will most likely debut on here at some point within the next two months.

Fifty Remixes You Need To Hear (41-50)

Posted: 09 Jan 2009 05:00 AM CST

Today we present the final installment of the series. We hope that you were introduced to music that is new and beautiful to your ears. Be sure to check out Selections 1-10, Selections 11-20, Selections 21-30, and Selections 31-40 as well.

41. Lord Finesse "Hip 2 Da Game" (Buckwild Remix)

The original was a near-perfect quintessential Lord Finesse production. Somehow, some way Buckwild managed to improve upon it, matching the grandiosity of Finesse's boasts with lush, sweeping music.

42. Tragedy "Funk Mode" (Large Pro Remix)

43. Brand Nubian "Concerto In X Minor" (Remix)

"On the real-tip let's take a field trip from the ghetto / You pick the time and we'll meet in the meadow/ To discuss racial issues and tension/ New York's a violent keg did I forget to mention..."

44. Lord Finesse ft. Big L "Yes You May" (Remix)

AG and Percee-P are replaced by Big L and a drum heavy beat. L spits non-stop quotables and Finesse displays his mastery of similes and unabashed shit talking.

45a. Common Sense "Resurrection" (Extra P Remix)

45b. Common Sense "Resurrection (Large Pro Remix)

46. Chino XL "Kreep" (Video Mix)

47. Beatnuts "No Equal" (Remix)

The original was the greatest vibraphone-laced death threat aimed at Das Efx ever. This remix makes the original sound like the fucking Barney The Dinosaur theme song in comparison.

48. Nice N' Smooth "Cash In My Hands" (Remix)

49. Pharcyde "Passin' Me By" (Remix)

50. Public Enemy "How To Kill A Radio Consultant" (Chuck Chillout Remix)
