DJ Filthy Rich Presents The Main Ingredient 30th Anniversary Mix

 

DJ Filthy Rich is back with a brand new Anniversary Mix dedicated to the legendary album "The Main Ingredient", released by Pete Rock & CL Smooth in 1994 on Elektra.

" Tribute mix celebrating Pete Rock & CL Smooth's masterpiece 'The Main Ingredient', which turned 30 recently. 'Mecca & The Soul Brother' is the more iconic/important album, but Main Ingredient slowly became my favorite over the years.....for a lot of the same reasons I lean to ATCQ's Midnight Marauders over Low End Theory.
Pete's production went from a harder/dusty sound on MATSB, to a warm/melodic vibe on TMI. The samples Pete chose hit your soul in that sweet spot: from Cannonball Adderley on 'In The House', to George Benson on 'I Get Physical' + 'In The Flesh', to Roy Ayers on 'Searching'....masterful. Pair that with CL's smooth voice & flow, and your soul starts to vibrate.... " - courtesy of DJ Filthy Rich

DJ Filthy Rich Presents ATCQ X Wu - Enter The Midnight Chamber

 

" 30 Years ago, Tribe's 'Midnight Marauders' & Wu's 'Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)' were released on Nov. 9, 1993. For some, a hard decision had to be made that day: Do you go with the conscious vibes of Tribe, or the hard street raps of Wu? The familiar sound of ATCQ, or the debut from the mysterious guys wearing hoodies with stocking caps covering their faces? If you were lucky, you walked out of the store with both (paid or not).

Those 2 albums changed my life, so 5 years ago on the 25th anniversary I created 'A Clan Called Wu - Enter The Marauders' as a tribute to both masterpieces. This is the 2nd chamber in the Wu x Tribe blendtape saga. The 1st volume featured Wu's gritty vocals over the jazzy Midnight Marauders instrumentals. This is the reverse combo - Tribe's bouncy vocals over RZA's grimy production.
No matter how you combine them, the marriage of the 2 forms like Voltron. All the parts came together to make something new. Different, yet the same. Yin & Yang." - courtesy of DJ Filthy Rich

DJ Filthy Rich Presents Black Moon - Enta Da Stage 30th Anniversary Mixtape

 

DJ Filthy Rich is back with a brand new mixtape dedicated to the 30 years of Black Moon's classic 'Enta Da Stage'.

"The LP was one of the bricks in the foundation for the golden era of east coast hip-hop. Da Beatminerz raw, dusty beats created a unique sound that became the signature of the Boot Camp Clik. This album was very influential to me, so I've decided to put together this mixtape tribute to the NYC legends. Remixes, blends, party breaks, OG samples & B-Sides." - courtesy of DJ Filthy Rich

Mix : Gang Starr - Moment Of Truth 25th Anniversary Tribute Mix

"Sometimes great art is created when times are tough, and 'Moment Of Truth' is a good example.  Facing the adversity of Guru's pending court case, lost loved ones, alcoholism and in-fights, they poured that energy into their most personal & emotional album.  To come off of a 4 year hiatus and drop a 20 track classic (with no skips!!!) on top of all that is mind-blowing.   

I like how Premier's production reflected both the highs & the lows....especially the moody cuts like Moment Of Truth, Next Time, In Memory Of, and Betrayal.  I love a grimy Preemo beat as much as the next guy, but when he starts to get into his soul bag too?!?!

The sample selection on this one was crazy....trying to recreate some of his chops/flips on this mix gave me a whole new appreciation for what he did on the album.

Salute DJ Premier & Gang Starr on the milestone

RIP Guru" - courtesy of DJ Filthy Rich

DJ Filthy Rich Presents Cypress Hill - Temples Of Boom 25th Anniversary Tribute

 

"Tribute mixtape celebrating 25 Years of Cypress Hill's 'Temples Of Boom'. It's a very gritty & hardcore album, possibly in response to the criticism they unfairly received after the commercial success of 'Black Sunday'. B-Real admits they were going through a troubled period in their lives, and it shows on this LP. The lyrics and beats are dark, sombre & haunting, and there's no 'radio' track to be found......some of Muggs' best (and underrated) work." - courtesy of DJ Filthy Rich

Mix : Kool G Rap - 4, 5, 6 Tribute Mixed by DJ Filthy Rich

 

"This album is so underrated. Kool G Rap's earlier work with DJ Polo is without a doubt the cornerstone of his catalog, but this album is right up there with them. He switched things up by working with a team of producers, and G admits this is the first time he felt like a true artist. Not one skippable track, and crazy production from Buckwild, T-Ray, Dr. Butcher & Naughty Shorts. CLASSIC. If you think differently, listen to the mix and tell me I'm wrong." - Dj Filthy Rich

DJ Filthy Rich Presents Smif N Wessun - Dah Shinin 25

"Celebrating 25 years of Smif N Wessun's LP 'Dah Shinin'. Black Moon & Da Beatminerz laid the blueprint for the early 90's gritty BK sound, and Tek & Steele ran with it crafting this undeniable CLASSIC. Mr Rippa & Vicksta's patois-infused rhymes over hard drums & dark samples made this the soundtrack for winter of 95 & beyond. Not one skippable track. I always loved the way they effortlessly flowed back & forth, finishing each other's sentences. No one has ever done it better than the PNC's from Bucktown. Ya betta wreckonize!!" - Dj Filthy Rich

Gravediggaz X Organized Konfusion - 6 Feet Deep: The Extinction Agenda

Dj Filthy Rich :"25 Years ago, the Gravediggaz ushered in the hip hop sub-genre known as 'Horrorcore' (coined by jounalist Havelock Nelson) with their groundbreaking debut album '6 Feet Deep'. Concurrently, Organized Konfusion dropped a certified classic with their sophomore LP 'Stress: The Extinction Agenda', featuring complex rhymes over A-level production. To mark the 25th anniversaries of both of these landmark albums, I blended them together. Hear these classics combined in a totally new way....

Mix : DJ Filthy Rich Presents Hard To Earn 25th Anniversary Tribute

"DJ Premier & Guru (R.I.P.), the duo more popularly known as Gang Starr, released their 4th album 'Hard To Earn' on March 8, 1994. Tired of being labeled as 'jazz-rap', Preemo decided to move away from sampling jazz records, and instead opted for a stripped down style of production. The result was a raw, harder hitting sound, and arguably their best album ever. 'Hard To Earn' is near & dear to me, so I had to get back in the lab and record this 25-year tribute to this legendary album. I've gathered their hits, album cuts & b-sides, and combined them with some original samples, interview soundbites, and my own custom blends."

A Clan Called Wu - Enter The Marauders - A Blendtape By Dj Filthy Rich

"November 9, 1993 will forever go down as one of the greatest days in hip hop history. Two of the genre’s most revered albums dropped on the same day: Wu-Tang Clan’s debut ‘Enter The 36 Chambers’, & A Tribe Called Quest’s third LP ‘Midnight Marauders’. To mark the 25th anniversary of both LP’s, I thought it might be a good idea to try and take the vocals from Wu-Tang’s album, and blend them over the instrumentals from Midnight Marauders. The intent was not to improve on the originals in any way….that would be impossible, as I consider them both to be perfect bodies of work. Rather, it was about orchestrating a fun concept, and putting a totally new spin on these well-worn classics. The contrast of Wu’s gritty street raps over Ali Shaheed’s jazzy production works in a pleasantly unexpected way. Now, I present to you my personal tribute to these legendary groups: A Clan Called Wu “Enter The Marauders”." - DJ Filthy Rich
