Alright, everyone that know me knows I'm a fuckin fiend for classic, 90's era New York mixtapes, groups and production. One of my favorite DJ's from the 90's and all-time is that man Doo Wop, one half of the Diaz Brothers and perhaps the most skilled and versatile DJ's ever, as he proved time and again that he could actually rap a little bit too. He's never disappointed me as far as his tapes go man, he's always had the knack to put together really solid efforts chalk full of exclusives and most importantly freestyles from the illest in NY's underground rap scene. Although it's been awhile since he last dropped a new tape, when he was dropping them frequently he always made sure to get someone who was supremely skilled like Az or Raekwon to drop a freestyle that was sure to get recorded and dubbed a thousand times over by all his consistent fans like myself. See, we all knew what we were getting when we recorded those freestyles man, we were getting something exclusive and classic at the same time. And this was the era when a freestyle was a fuckin freestyle man; you got an ill MC in the booth and threw on the instrumental of a joint that was Johnny fuckin' Blaze, like Iced Down Medallions or the Wu-Gambinos beat for the MC to kick a verse or two over, most of the time the verse being completely off the top of the dome or new. Wop mastered this technique and a lot of these new kids today should take some fuckin notes...shit they don't even take the time to record freestyles anymore man, a lot of these new DJ's is microwave, digital, no talent required, button pushers man. They can't spin, they can't rap, they don't got a mic for MC's to spit somethin' into and they can't mix....damn shame man...the old vets like Wop were trying to pass some history down to these kids but they just don't seem to be catching on. This tape right here was released some time ago, I believe right after or before 95' Live, it features, well, almost every worthwhile MC that was in the tri-state area in 1995, as well as a few of Wop's Bounce Squad cohorts who were also pretty fair on the mic as well. This is a masterful example of what Hip-Hop has lost man, I wish that there were some DJ's out now that took the time to get 20 crazy MC's in a room and just record all night and drop an ill ass tape like Wop did man, I really miss the golden age of mixtapes and hip-hop in general, but every now and again, well who am I kidding, everyday I pop in a tape like this and teleport myself back to the 90's, the time when hip-hop had a great DJ that hailed from the Bronx but was steady up in Brooklyn, lol...inside joke for all the Doo Wop fans there, anyway... get em' Wop.
