DJ Chong Wizard - Hell's Kitchen: Raekwon The Chef Vs. Mobb Deep



I know the real heads gon' crucify me for puttin this gem up so late, but at least I'm gettin around to puttin' it up at all. Considering that my schedule is filled to the brim tryin' to listen to all these new albums that have been droppin' and rippin' this week, the fact that I had time to listen to a mixtape/blend tape at all is a fucking miracle. Truthfully though, after bumpin Chong Wizard's "Hell's Kitchen", I am 100% happy that I took the time to pop this in the deck and listen. First off lemme explain a few things. If I sound like a total shitbag elitist that acts like his time is too precious to listen to a mixtape, don't blame me, blame the fucking shitty ass state of the mixtape game. It's fucking real boring out there kid, real boring. Every mixtape DJ is jockin' some other wack ass mixtape DJ's style and everything sounds the same; shitty. If it ain't some bullshit Lil' Wayne than it's some shit that's un-interesting and don't actually "mix" well. And that's the whole point behind everything....to make an ill mix muthafucka....an ill mix!! What drew me into this tape was the fact that yes, I'm a huge fan of Raekwon and Mobb Deep (early, not recent) but moreso that it was a blend tape. Now for all you newbie 88'ers lemme school ya. A blend tape is something that was started a hot minute ago in Harlem, New York by a guy named Ron G. He was taking R&B vocals and putting them over Hip-Hop beats. The trend grew and grew and all types of blending ensued, but Ron G is the muthafucka that started that shit first as 18 year old or some shit. He was the originator. I believe you youngin's call them shits "mash ups" now, but that's incorrect and lame as fuck.

Okay, so now that you have had your lil' history lesson and you understand how fucking ill this quasi-sub genre of hip-hop DJing and production is, wrap your head around the magnanamous idea of putting Mobb Deep acapella's from Thier cult classic "Hell On Earth" over beats from Raekwon's undeniably classic first few albums and vice versa. Sounds fuckin' nuts right? Well, The same guy that dropped "American Ironman", (a Jay-Z vs. Ghostface blend tape that had the internet heads clamoring for more) a cat named Chong Wizard (lol, I don't know if he's asian or not either) returns with this ill ass take on a few giants from the mid 90's and the unforgettable hardcore, NYC music they created.

While I'm not sure if many of you will check this out, all I can say is that those who do won't be sorry. Shit I bumped this all weekend while watching college and NFL (go Broncos!!) football, and it was the perfect backdrop. So "perfect" of a backdrop that I was routinely pulled away from intense, early season, grudge match action to run back tracks like "Shark DJ's (Biters)", "Street Wisdom" and "Coke Vultures". Don't be a herb, grab this while you still can and bump it. Pull yourself away from the over-marketed and over-hyped bullshit that is the corny ass mixtape game of 2008 and recognize real skill. Shout out to that man Chong Wizard too....don't kno much about you kid, but your an official head with mad skill.
