Sorry about the slow day. I’ve been trying to get this VHS ripping gadget to work. And I’m almost there. Stay tuned for the SOME SHIT YOU NEVER SEEN series. Until then, here are some loose tracks you, the reader, requested from the archives.
“Break Beatz 1″ was just a snippet of “The Grain” from SC. S2P eventually became Organized Konfusion and “Feelin Good” was produced by the late, great Paul C. “Articulate Thugs” was produced by Alchemist and was later remixed/rerecorded when Ras and Al had their little falling out. (I have no idea why youtube is saying that’s a Snoop Dogg record.) Everything else should speak for itself.
If there’s anything else you’re looking for you better keep the requests coming while I’m still feeling generous.

The Crooked Letta tape is only the two songs I posted.
And maybe you are thinking of the Face Mob album?
October 14th, 2009 at 10:18 pm
A mix of Outkast “So fresh and So clean” without the bassline. A Snoop Dogg and Kriss Kross song recorded I believe between the Chronic and Doggystyle”. A song called “days of our lives” from a early to mid nineties Dallas group called Kaos. Also any obscure Pimp C. Any obscure Twista 96-04. Well that’s my wishlist. thanks for your great blog.

monch sounds so restrained. all the pieces are there, though. i wonder what sparked that change.

October 15th, 2009 at 12:13 am

Do you happen to have the Whoridas fea Saafir “BIG BALLIN SHOT CALLIN” remix? I can not find it anywhere. I’m also looking for AZ’s “Sugarhill” Linslee remix. If you can somehow post these tracks I would be forever grateful friend. Thanks in advance!
October 15th, 2009 at 2:02 am
Project Pat and The Roots? OMG this is the most random collabo ever.

“History don’t make the everyday hustle stop.”
Long as we’re having our druthers, how about anything from Firewater Boy Number Two? (Besides “Fo Thirty” though that’s a classic.) Can’t find his albums for love or money.
October 15th, 2009 at 10:49 am
I have that “Shot Callin’” remix on vinyl and can rip it for Noz if he doesn’t already have it.

WOW!
Thank you so MUCH, Noz! I really didn´t expect that you would repost the tracks I asked for any time soon since I´m sure you are too busy – but you did exactly that. That´s really just great and generous!
That makes the rest of the year for me.
A hundred times thanks for that. NOZ AND COCAINEBLUNTS FOREVER THE GREATEST ON THE INTERNET!

October 19th, 2009 at 3:51 am
My last (& huge) requests (for reposting and for “obscure” stuff that seems to be not posted before anywhere):
It would be “wonderful” (gucci style) if you, noz, could repost the following tracks, which are nowhere else to be found:
UGK – “You Don’t Know Me“
Puff presents the Loxfrom Ridin’ Dirty Cassette (Jive, 1996) – I found this on the trill connection blog, but that´s only a clean version!
Too Short – “Whip It“
from Whip It 12? (75 Girls, 1985
Too Short – “Freaky Tales Pt. 2: The Saga Continues“
from Freaky Tales Pt. II 12? (Dangerous Music/Jive, 1988)
Low Profile – “The Dub B.U. Just Begun“
from Pay Ya Dues 12? (Priority, 1989)
Low Profile – “Playing For Keeps“
from Funky Song 12? (Priority, 1990)

from Watch For The Hook CDEP (Organized Noize, 2000)
Slimm Cutta Calhoun f/ Big Boi – “Why Ya Smilin’“
from The Skinny Promo (Aquemini, 2001)
And now some tracks that I would love to hear, maybe you Noz, or the other readers can help by giving a hint where to find them or even upload them, I´m sure, others would also be interested:
too def (yz & g-rock) – i´m bad (you had a decent rip of i am who i amon your trenton rap comp, this one would also be nice)
B-1 ft mf grimm, lord finesse & freddie foxxx – takin niggas
cash money click (ja rule´s) ft jay-z – if it´s on it´s on (prob. 1995)
scarface – among the walking dead (from the walking dead ost 1995)
scarface – the realest & stop playin (ft roy jones jr) – both tracks from the comp “j-prince presents realest down south” (1999)
servin tha world click – ft bun b – said `n done (1999)
simply II positive mc´s (organized konfusion) – memories of love
gamilah shabazz ft ice cube – america´s living in a war zone (1992)
mf grimm ft kool g rap – stay strapped (prob. 1996)
p.a. (parental advisory) ft pimp c – dope stories (from album “straight no chase” 1998)
big lew ft scarface – soldiers (from album “playa hatin” 2001)
outkast – so fresh so clean remix ft snoop dogg
ll cool j – soul survivor original dr. butcher beat
Puff presents the Lox – Benjamins
“Benjamins” is one of the most incredible beats of all time (there i said it), originating as a Puff presents the Lox mixtape cut” (quoting noz, may 27, 2004)
mac dre – demos from the 80´s – last year i found a collection of 8 demo tracks without track titles and accidentally deleted it. Now all I find is a demo collection with 10 titled tracks, which is also great, but not the same! The first one is entirely different!
killer mike – the killer mixtape (2005) – can´t find a decent version of this, the one i found misses track no. 6
well, that´s it. Yeah, I´m a nerd and a fucking completist and I must have these tracks in my life. Now who can help me?
October 19th, 2009 at 9:48 am
“You Don’t Know Me” was only ever released as a clean version. The Puff & Lox version of “Benjamins” is pretty much exactly the same as the official one, just short the Big and Kim verses.
October 20th, 2009 at 2:24 pm
cool, thanx for the info!
