There’s a good variety of flavours on this one, ranging from straight-up Hip Hop on the Meth, Xzibit and Mobb Deep tracks, to the reggae re-rubs of the Jungle Brothers and Fugees joints. The West Coast is represented on the ‘West Up!’ remix and the ATL gets a look in with 2 Outkast joints. As with the first set, some of these are ripped from vinyl, others have been posted on blogs and forums. I’ve credited the creators where possible so click the links and show them some love if you like what you hear.

T.R.O.Y. forum member Memory Man dropped one of the most enjoyable mixtapes of the summer. It so happens to be the ideal appetizer before OB4CLII drops September 8th. This mix has been making its rounds on other sites but I felt since T.R.O.Y. Blog caters to an older audience many might have missed this and we wouldn't that... --Philaflava

Here's a blog from King Sun on his Myspace about the diss:
"Ok, I was the first to respond with a dis record towards Tupac when he first dissed Tribe Called Quest at the Source Awards in '94. Since Tupac appeared on "California" wit Dre, I felt the need to respond wit "Califony" and derived the hook from the Die Hard movie when Bruce Willis was a cop from NY and had beef in Cali. Every time he killed an adversary his reply was "Yippie Kay Ya Mother Fucker."
The beat was produced by DJ Mark the 45 King and was cut up by Funk Master Flex in D&D Studios in Midtown Manhattan. Shout outs to Doug and Dave. I then allowed Doo Wop to put the song on his mixtape to generate a buzz. Tupac and I discussed the dis song after having Ice-T play it for Pac. We laughed together over the phone and Pac new it was nothing personal, but I had to rep NY to the fullest. Shout outs to Ice-T, who's like my older cousin from the Left Coast who has always held me down, to WC Crazy Toons, DJ Aladdin, DJ Pooh, Evil E and Hen G and Shawny Shawn.
Rest in peace Pac. Our love goes out to Mrs. Shakur. Tell BIG I said "Hold some equality for me and Lady Heron and be at the door with Jesus so we can get in!"
Doo Wop played his record with King Sun on his critically acclaimed Summer Jam '96 mixtape. Doo Wop also goes at 2Pac & The Dogg Pound at the end of the tape. Notice how the mixtape only features East Coast artists. This was around the time of Hit' Em Up. According to DJ King Shammek, King Sun had also recorded another diss record titled "Don't Know How To A.C.T." directed at Westside Connection
Summer is upon us and this weekend many of us will be settin' off fireworks and grubbing on some BBQ. So what better timing than now to drop the official soundtrack of Independence Day??!!!??!

Track Breakdown:
Wu-Tang Clan - Radiant Jewels feat. Raekwon, Cormega & Sean Price One of the best cut & paste collabos you'll hear all year. Cormega rips the track to shreads.
Mos Def - Auditiorium feat. Slick Rick Mos Def + Madlib + Slick Rick = winner!
Kurious - Sittin' In My Car I'll all about sequencing and this is some quintessential 90's hip-hop.
DJ JS-1 - Ridiculous feat. O.C. & Pharoahe Monch No Metal Thangz, but pretty damn good. Check out J's site.
Blaq Poet - Rap Addiction feat. Shabeeno of NYGz & Lil Fame Another banger courtesy of Premier. Nostalgia rap shit right here!
Grand Puba - Same Old Drama feat. Large Professor Short and sweet but when two vets go line-4-line you take it.
General Steele - Riot feat. Sean Price, Illa Noyz & UG Sean P always does damage and Steele shines as well but I put this on here so you could hear the return of Cella Dwella's UG.
Marco Polo & Torae - Smoke feat. Lil Fame & Rock Don't sleep on that MP & Torae album. This is another reason to cop!
Blaq Poet - Voices Another Blaq Poet track but given the subject matter I thought it was relevant for the mix.
DJ JS-1 - Orginal G'z feat. A.G., Craig G. & Edo G I'm an A.G. fan so when he comes correct, best believe I'm listening. One of the better tracks off the new JS-1 LP.
Funkdoobiest - The Heavyweight FunkIt's as if they never left us.
Lushlife - Another Word For Paradise feat. Camp Lo It's nice to hear the old Camp Lo again. For more info about Lushlife click here.
Drake - Think Good Thoughts feat. Phonte & Elzhi Canada's new "It" boy who is spits over the 9th Wonder track along side with Phonte and the ever-dope Elzhi.
Mos Def - Life In Marvelous Times Anyone else think Mos is back? I'm leaning towards YES!
Godamus Rhyme - Stress '09 This month Godamus tackles the OK classic. If you've missed the previous Godamus Rhyme tracks click here. Tame One - Suede Adidas
Proof that Tame can still black-out when he wants to.
Michael Jackson - This Time Around feat. Notorious B.I.G. (Bonus Track) I didn't feel right making this compilation and not paying tribute to MJ.
Here it is, the final installment of the DJ Mister Cee “Best Of” mixtape series. Although Jigga-Man is not one of my favorite artists, I thought it was very important to present the entire library. My review wasn't going so well, but I think turntablelab says it best in the following two blurbs:
“Mister Cee goes in hard (Aquaman style!) for this comprehensive and really fascinating career-spanning Jigga collection. Starting way back with the Big Jaz collabs and freestyles, Cee forgoes chronological worries and moves in for the kill, dropping track after track of classic Jigga, from "Hawaiin Sophie"(!) to "Hard Knock Life." Even the most studious of Jay fans will find new shit on this one: rare early tracks, remixes and unreleased freestyles from Cee's vault all surface here. You know this shit is made by an insider when there are tracks with titles like "Freestyle – Live at Big Daddy Kane's Movie Release Party at The Ritz (1993)." Considering the age of some of these, this sound quality on this mix is pretty incredible. 36 tracks total. Recommended.”

“Part 2 of Go-In Brother #1's Jigga retrospective focuses mainly on collaborations and the Roc-A-Fella era. Impossibly rare, hard-to-find and flat out unreleased tracks make their way into Mr. Cee's crate – check young Shawn Carter's "St. Ides Commercial," or "Roc-A-Fella Shit," which features the entire original Roc lineup (Jaz, Sauce, Bleek, Ranjahz, Diamonds, what!). Other highlights are "Young G's" with Biggie and Puff, and the unreleased solo joint "People's Court." Mister Cee has done the rap world a nice service by unleashing this shit. 25 tracks total.”
Somewhere down the line after the Method Man and Redman mixes, I found this one for Biggie. Great mix of some lesser known songs, appearances, remixes and two real nice freestyles from the good ol' days.

Being the freak that I am, I did not like the cover it came with and made myself a new one to match the other two. But for the purists who only want the original, I scanned it in, cleaned it up and threw in all new type for an exact match. Coming soon will be “The Best Of Mobb Deep” and double disc set for “The Best Of Jay-Z.”
The first volume of Illegal Remixes assembled by Step One proved quite popular, so here’s another batch of unofficial remixes for you.
