A hip-hop artist I like is having a mixtape contest and I am thinking about sending one in. Here are the Rules of Engagement:
– Your mix must be presented on an audio tape, that's kind of the point.
- The mix must be done by the person(or persons) who presents it.
- No DJ mixing software should be used to execute your mix.
- You are only able to submit one tape, once.
And we are judged on:
- Content: Your song selection and merit of your choices. Whether the songs are rare, from out of print records, random, timely, etc.
- Cohesion: The pace and continuity of your mix. If you begin with a theme, stick to it.
- Packaging: How you dress up your J-card and actual tape. Whether you insert a graffiti piece in sharpie, a picture of you dressed as a Subway sandwich, it all contributes to the aesthetic value of your mix tape.
I chose to do the evolution of Hip-Hop in the past 20 (actually 21) years.
Here is the song list:
Side A:
'86 Afrika Bambaataa: looking for the perfect beat
'87 BDP: south bronx
'88 Public Enemy: Bring the Noise
'89 Big Daddy Kane: Warm it Up
'90 Ice Cube: AmeriKKKas Most Wanted
'91 Naughty by Nature: Pin the Tail on the Donkey
'92 Kriss Kross: Jump
'93 2pac: Keep Ya Head Up
'94 Snoop Dogg: murder was the case
'95 Jay Z: in my life time
'96 Bones N Thugs: Crossroads
'97 Biggie Smalls: Mo Money Mo Problems
Side B:
'98 DMX: Bring ya whole crew
'99 Dr. Dre: Forgot about Dre
'00 Lil Bow Wow: Bow Wow (thats my name)
'01 Missy Elliott: Get Ur Freak on
'02 Eminem: Without Me
'03 Ying Yang Twins: Salt Shaker
'04 Uhser, Lil Jon, Ludacris: Yeah
'05 Ludacris: Get Back
'06 Kanye West: Gold Digger
'07 Soulja Boy: Crank Dat
Opinions/Suggestions? Anyone Missing? Anyone that shouldn't be on there on there?
