My idea for this hip hop mix was to start with 2Pac, end with Biggie, have J Dilla in the middle (and as many Dilla produced tracks as I could-- somewhat of a tribute) and to fill the in-between with artists/tracks that all link together and connect to form like one big gold chain. Or chain link fence. It's not rocket science. Nor an original idea. It could have taken many, many different directions. But the point is that one track/artist relates to the next track/artist, which relates to the next.... etc. Like that ol' degrees of separation type mix.
In some cases the next song in the mix is one that the previous artist DIRECTLY worked on in some fashion; or vice versa. In other cases, I didn't present it so literally. Instead, I linked to the artist, but maybe included an older or newer song from that artist. Get it? It's pretty basic. And fun to listen to.
And when you listen to it on repeat, it still links together... for endless fun.

Track Description:
2Pac's best album in my opinion. He touches on different topics with so much heart. This song is fun to sit back and listen to, and I felt it somewhat fitting. Not in that I include all of these artists in my mix, but the idea is there. Kind of. If you have this on repeat (cassette or CD), this one lands after the Biggie track for a reason. SHOW LESS

I wanted a track with Madlib rapping, and I like the concrete scraping on concrete feel of this J Dilla beat. Madlib isn't considered a top mc, but his raw delivery does this trick and is unique.
