Ghost Town DJ's 1996 smash "My Boo" was a staple on the teen slow-dance circuit and was played at exactly 95% of all weddings in the hood in the latter part of the 1990's. Laden with heavy bass inspired by the Miami Bass/Booty Bass movement, the original track blended R&B style vocals with a high-tempo electro beat. It was released on Jermaine Dupri's record label So So Def, sometimes called Very Def. This Balam Acab remix is a fresh take on the classic and is nearly impossible to play just once. Dipset sampled "My Boo" on their 2005 song " I Wanna Be Your Lady".
Sorry for another mixtape- it can be a lot to digest- but it's an interesting one from The Hood Internet. T.H.I have definitely lost a little of the buzz they had 3 years ago when Girl Talk and pop-mashups were all the rage but they always have interesting concepts for their work. Trillwave 2 is the follow up to 2010's Trillwave, which combines rap with songs from the "chillwave" genre. Some tracks are better than others. "Slown John" which opens the mixtape is pretty dope.

The first track on here starts with "This mixtape is a soundtrack to your summer" and it is. DJ Jazzy Jeff of DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince fame partners with Mick Boogie, a mixtape extraordinaire for 48 minutes filled with classic 90's hip hop mixed in with jazzy summertime tracks from the likes of Steve Winwood and Stevie Wonder. Great for listeners in urban areas riding trains. Big ups to UNDRCWRN for making this happen. Go here for one complete download of everything. If you're a Tribe Called Quest fan check out this recently released mixtape from Mick Boogie.
Max Tannone, the man who brought us the Jaydiohead and Mos Dub mashup albums, released Ghostfunk to the masses earlier this month and it just may be his crowning achievement. Ghostfunk pairs Wu-Tang member Ghostface Killah with vintage African funk, high-life, and psychedelic rock music. I've been sitting on it for a week or two and it's absolutely incredible. Every track is dope but Funky Criminology, Astro Easy Love are my personal favorites. Check out Tannone's other mixtapes at his website. Ghostfunk by Max Tannone
This is a track from Kendrick Lamar who likes to rap about drugs. To me, he sounds like he could've been a member of Bones Thugs N Harmony with the way he flows. The above picture is NOT Kendrick Lamar; it's a Caucasian child casually taking his A.D.H.D. medication.
