I did this mix about a year and a half ago to enter it in a friendly online mix competition. I think it was one of my best at the time. A nice mix of slightly older hip hop and newer R&B/soul. Leave me a comment and let me know what u think.
WARNING: The first song on here is by NWA. After that, the language goes back to a reasonable level. lol
This is one of the 1st mixes that I did. I think it was actually the 4th complete one that I recorded. This is well over 2 years old. Admittedly, I've learned a lot since I've made it. When I made this, I wasn't fully aware of "counts" and good times to bring songs in. I was a lot more "heavy handed" hence some of the turntable dragging. But this mix is still one of my babies.
At the time that I made this, there was a saying called "grown and sexy". I just kinda flipped it to a more realistic term. This mix is also Jackson heavy.
This is a little something for the older crowd. I don't want you ll thinking that all I play is hippity hop bee-bop till ya don't stop with popcorn lol. This was a little short mix I did for people that wear their pants securely around their waists, and may have a touch of grey (or 5) in their hair. Hey, I do. Speaking of a touch of grey, My mom found her way on this site and scolded me for some Errors in grammar and capitalization. Ok I own up to the capitalization, I never capitalized on the net. HOWEVER, the grammatical error was not mine. It was the service I used.
So rest assured, momma stiles, I will be editing the site. I think the next mix I do may have "I'll always love my momma" but THIS one has Prince, Mike, Ashford and Simpson etc...
Last night, I watched history happen as Barack claimed the democratic nomination for president of the United States. It was about 11 pm when I stopped watching the coverage. I should have gone to bed, but I didn’t. I felt kinda energized. With gas 4 bucks a gallon, I wasn’t gonna drive anywhere. Didn’t feel like talking. So I turned on my turntables.
And made this mix. I mean it IS about to be a wild, historic, and memorable summer, right? So I made a mix of some of my favorite summery feeling songs. (lessons learned in this mix: song with live drummers. The tempo changes, making blending…a lil harder than today’s songs, with drum machines)
There’s one link with the songs broken into pieces in a zip file (this zip file also contains a PLAYLIST). There’s another link with the songs as one file.
oh yeah, go check out tresvanty.com. that guy can get quite hilarious. and no ..it's not me.
*looks out the window*….it’s raining right now tho. But I think I got that covered like around track 3 or 4. Peace.

just press play...and again, feel free to leave a comment. matter of fact, the word for today is "comment" :-)
As a child, my favorite character was batman. (For a variety of reasons. he looked cool, he had a several tv shows). Every once in a while (about 3 times a year) i try to go to the gym. So here's a mix of the kind of music I listen to. Of course we know, batman works in gotham city. Gotham's a rough place, the gym is a tough place. So that's why i titled it what i did. I made this mix in Sept of 07. A few people have asked for it again so i'm posting it here.
note: some of the songs are fast like that for a reason

Even tho I play various types of music and genres, I’m a hip hop head 1st. When growing up in middle and high school, before rap took over the nations airwaves, I listened to a show called “the rap down” it started on WGCI on Saturday night for 1 hour I think. Then went to 2 hours, then went to Friday and Saturday for two hours.
So at its height, u heard hip hop on mainstream radio 4 hours a week. Chicago had another station that played hip hop called WHPK. However the signal was so weak in Indiana, I had one friend that used foil, tape, and a hanger to connect his antennae to his metal window frame. Any way, back to the rap down.. the hosts were ramonski luv, supa producer Frankie j, and disco dave (RIP).
I’d grab a cassette and tape these shows damn near every week. Well number 4 in my thinking back series. Pays tribute to some of those rapdown era songs. And not only did we dance…dammit, we danced HARD.
