description:
these a few of my favorite hip hop songs, mostly from back in school. i generalized this mix because, frankly, i don't make many mixes entirely of hip hop. so i've assembled some of the notable hip hop experiences i've had. i put a lot of my focus on the flow of this mix, and i ordered the tracks to transition as smoothly as possible from each one to the next, which is why most of what i explain in the descriptions is sound.

another thematic connection here. from the world ending to a deep whisper about dying. then the long single verse kicks in strong. one of my favorite 2pac songs - it ends with samples and scratching, like the buck 65 track, but much darker and richer in texture. SHOW LESS

TEAM 97 -- Third Place
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!
