I've taken some fresh songs that I like (from Gentle Giant, Hubert Laws, etc) and paired them up with a hip hop track where the producer has utilized some portion of that particular song. Someone else did a similar mix earlier in the year, but I can't remember who. I just wanted to have a little fun and make a mix that lasts around an hour. I really like all of these songs.

Track 4 from Afro-Classic
Length: 00:15:10
Year: 1970
Track Description:
Mad Men On Arrival.
The music in Hubert Laws' 'Afro-Classic' was arranged, reconstructed and/or adapted by Don Sebesky. The album draws on the classics as a source of material-- and in some cases, form-- and on African influences for rhythm and sonority. The idea was to provide a setting in which the classic and African forms could coexist. Where these two forms go beyond coexistence, and intermix, it was an unshceduled development that happened during the recording sessions-- the natural outcome of improvisation.

The group keeps the MOODy feel of Pradizer Adeus (To Say Goodbye) with their sampling on this track.
Mood is a hip hop group based in Cincinnati, Ohio, composed of rappers Main Flow, Donte, and producer Jahson. Their 1997 album 'Doom' featured production by a young Hi-Tek and guest appearances by Talib Kweli. Although overlooked, they are one of the more influential groups in Hip Hop, considering the release of Doom was in 1997, a formative era for the genre.

Track 7 from Look Around

Track Description:
Illuminated Sunlight.
Look around... beyond the double glass wall, Sergio Mendes walks to the piano. The many weeks of perfection-seeking preparation are behind him. He's ready. His group is ready. In the booth, producer Herb Alpert, the engineer and the wheels of tape are ready. Sergio closes his eyes. He finds just the right tempo. "Um, dois, tres!" ...the music starts...the magic begins. Suddenly the studio does have wings. Suddenly it flies. And what a flight! Smooth as glass. Like seagull kites over the warm sands of Copacabana beach...the incredible cool green of the rain forests...the joy of Carnival. The sight and sound of Brazil.

Track 1 from MOOG: The Electric Eclectics Of Dick Hyman
Length: 00:03:01
Year: 1969
Track Description:
Where We Are About To Take It.
Greek music, which, along with Indian music, are two of the current influences on Dick Hyman's musical creativity, is the basis for this piece. This was one of the selections that Dick composed in advance, one on which he uses the live rhythm section. Because the synthesizer can play only one note at a time and has only two keyboards, overdubbing was necessary to create fully harmonized melodies. In the overdubbing process, Dick threw in some double speeded effects which reproduce as a high, bird-like sound. The sudden, rising, whistling sounds are unique to the synthesizer. "When you play the synthesizer keyboard as though it were a piano or organ, funny things happen," Dick said. "On a piano or an organ, if you're playing staccato and you hold a note for a second, it will fade away downward. But if you play a note in the same fashion on the synthesizer, it goes up. It's weird."

Hail to power, hail to glory's way... Cuz beats knock redundant off the SP-1200. (Everyone seems to think Tash is saying "this beat's not redundant off the SP-1200" but I disagree. I think he's either saying "cuz beat's not..." or "cuz beats knock..." and my gut feeling it's "knock." Just listen closely.

Long before being knocked up with Eddie Murphy's illegitimate child, Scary Spice was on top of the world. Now, she's nothing but washed up. It's kind of sad, really. Just by scoring third place in this contest, you've got infinitely more street cred than Scary. Congrats!
