Vitamin D - Table Manners 2

I'm just in my rare/overlooked underground mixes mode I guess.....I don't really feel like posting up the status quo of what is currently being labeled "Hip-Hop" because in actuality the new Bow Wow and Soulja Boy are the furthest things from what real Hip-Hop is. The stuff that's out there that is dope and blog worthy I want to do well sales-wise, so I shy away from putting that up usually too...lol, so lately there's been a lil' bit of a lack in material goin' up....regrettably of course....LOL, yes I do take pride in the fact that there is a reason why you won't find that new DOOM on my blog, but it does sorta create a hole left to be filled on Purehip-hop.....hey, I did put up all the singles he leaked!

So in all my perplexed anxiety over the conundrum that is post material I've recently just been running with the theme of putting up dope underground mixes from DJ's and producers that are criminally slept-on. This post being no exception, I introduce to you all Vitamin D, the producer mastermind behind Seattle's underground sound. He was one of the very first superstars on the circuit and his music inspired many of the area's up and coming acts. *cough* Jake One *cough*......D is currently working pretty heavily with the label Rhymesayers, and is actually set to release a collaborative album with Abstract Rude on the label later this year. Nothing against that project, but right now we're gonna delve into Vitamin D's past and un-earth one of his classic mixes, titled "Table Manners 2" that he released back in 1999. Clocking in at around 45 minutes long, this mix packs a nice dose of freestyles from D's and Sea Town's Tribal Music clique, specifically Samson S, Blak, Sho-nuff, D-Uneek, B-Self, H-Bomb, Vitamin D himself, Wordsayer and I-Self all combined over D's condensed mix of records. I've heard rumors that he used at least 500 records for this mix as a matter of fact. Also included are some breaks and a few contributions from Jake One. Mixed live by Vitamin D and showcasing his triple threat (production/DJing/rhyming) talents, "Table Manners 2" truly displays D's infinite knowledge of records and turntablism. This originally was an LP I guess......enjoy and pay ya respects to the pacific north west!
