DJ Rhettmatic - Whatupdoe 09 J.Dilla Mixtape

From DJ Rhettmatic's Blog:

In honor & to celebrate the life & music of the honorable "Dill Withers", i decided to put my bid in for a tribute mix. I know there's going to be alot of Dilla tribute mixes out there, but i thought it doesn't hurt to add another one. Plus the Funky President himself, J.Rocc, asked me to do some exclusive mixes for his blog (www.stoneyjackson.blogspot.com), so why not do a Dilla mix. It is appropriate given the occasion. Personally, i don't think there's no out there that can do a better J Dilla mix than my fellow Beat Junkie, J.Rocc.....the closest one next to him I would say is my brother from another mother, "Detroit's Finest" own, Dj Houseshoes, but yeah, here's my input.

Anyways, this is a mini mega mix of some of Dilla's songs & production. I originally did this as a 10 minute mix for the mixtape project that J.Rocc, Houseshoes, & myself did with Dave New York 2 years ago to help out Mrs. Maureen Yancey aka Ma Dukes, Dilla's mother.....an incredible lady (if y'all know the name of the mix cd project, go head & get it......) So I extended this mix from 10 minutes to 35 minutes. It was pretty much impossible for me to get everything that Dilla did on this mix (he has such a big discography, it's ridiculous), especially for the fact I wanted to finish this before his birthday in such a short period of time. Of course, you'll hear some of the classic songs that Dilla has produced in the mix, but you'll also get to here some Dilla beats that you might have or have not heard before, and a live recording of Dilla performing "F*ck The Police" at one of his show in Europe (Paris, France to be exact) on his last tour ever (I was lucky & honored to be his tour dj for his last performances).

2Mex / SonGodSuns "Over The Counter Culture" Video

This video was used as a trailer for 2Mex's 2005 release under his alias SonGodSuns - Over The Counter Culture. I personally feel like this album is slept on. It has incredible Producers and guest emcees, and in my opinion, it's one of 2Mex's best albums ever. If you haven't heard it, imagine a well balanced album with hard hitting beats and razor sharp delivery like "Once Again" and "Minors Into Fire" to heart felt jams like "Everyday" and "I Didn't Mean To Touch Your Hand" - cop it now, you will not be disappointed.

Look Daggers "Call U Later" Commentary

Featured on the Look Daggers DVD "Alive For Now In Long Beach" is the commentary version of their music video for Call U Later. If you don't know, 2Mex is one of the funniest people in the world, and along with Ikey Owens, the two put on a great show telling you some behind-the-scenes stories of making this epic "Tribute to David Byrne" music video.



And if you haven't checked out the "Suffer In Style" album, which was released as a 2-disc CD+DVD, I suggest you get it NOW.
