Classic Tape Week: DJ JS-1 & Spinbad - The Cold Cutz Remixes (The Acapella Tape)





This is a real treat right here, especially for all the cats that liked blend and scratch tapes. What we have is two of the legendary and co-founding members of the now defunct Cold Cutz crew, JS-1 and DJ Spinbad throwing together what many consider a classic tape. What makes it classic is the selection of acapella's and beats that were chosen. Fucking damn near perfect. I mean not only that, but world class turntablism is on full display as well....I've yet to hear any tapes, with the exception of a few Beat Junkies' joint that can rival this from the cuttin' aspect. It's truly a raw ass tape....you can't ask for anything more; these guys out did themselves....dope mixing, dope blending, classic break beats, ill movie samples and a special guest appearance from DJ Scratch. This is pretty untouchable as far as mixtape standards go, that's why it has reaached the mythical plateau that tapes only reach when they truly are classics by garnering it's own alias (a la Raekwon's Purple Tape) and becoming known universally as the "Acapella Tape".
