This week I have been indulging in a great deal of older albums and so the majority of this weeks selections come from a period in the 1990′s when the Rock was good, the Hip Hop was good, the summers were longer and it was all trees around here.
I have included a few delights such as Primus’ storming ‘Here Come The Bastards’, one of the best early morning songs there is. Nas’ ‘The Message’ still remains one of my favourite songs of his, even with the Sting sample! Alice In Chains, Pantera, Machine Head and Rage all appear, reminding us why they achieved the legendary status they do today.
Copkiller was one of the first tapes that I ever owned. A friend gave me a copy in primary school that his brother got in Holland. My first contraband music, a lifetime of censory defiance was born in that seemingly insignificant moment. From there came the worlds of Messers Ice’s T and Cube, House Of Pain and Cypress Hill (Omitted here on the grounds of ‘I’m not in the mood to hear them’). A healthy interest in most noisey stuff lead me to become the all devouring music junkie that I am today. Trading tapes and compilations was always something I did regularly (also, having the right music could oftentime barter you out of a beating if you knew the potential pummeller’s music preferences), so it’s really a joy to be able to do them still.
This is also why I chose to do Mixtapes as opposed to Podcasts, I never used to stop each song when I was making C-90′s for people and jabber on in the middle of them, so I politely decline to start doing that. As well as this factor, it would involve me sitting here talking to myself and that really would be the beginning of the end.
(Please note that I do enjoy many Podcasts and am in no way being curmudgeonly, I simply don’t think that anyone needs to hear me do one at this point in time.)
Enjoy!
