Hello

I'm quite new to the site, so apologies if anybody has listed this before.

A geezer on the Wu Tang Clan forum called Memory Man (http://www.myspace.com/memoryman) has very graciously posted up a large number of Hip Hop mix tapes.

Many of these I hadn't heard before, so I hope some are new to you all too.

I hope he's OK with me posting this here. If Memory Man isn't, PM me and I'll delete the thread.

Enjoy!

Dr. Rock & The Force MCs
http://www.zshare.net/audio/85039391df0a33/
This battle was controversial in that Cold Crush was allegedly not told that
the show was being advertised as a battle and just did their regular set. The Force MCs had prepared routines dissing Cold Crush and won over the crowd. Words were exchanged between the crews later.

New Music Seminar Beatbox and MC Battle 1985

http://www.zshare.net/audio/4929583d21d123/
Roxanne Shante Vs. Busy Bee
http://www.zshare.net/audio/4929674061ab90/
In my opinion, Shante got robbed.

This is all I have of this battle, although I'm pretty sure a complete
recording exists. Kool Keith was a contestant this year.
Here are some notable DJ Jazzy Jeff radio moments:

Cash Money Vs. Joe Cooley
http://www.zshare.net/audio/49423304491c59/
The greatest Hiphop battle ever? Quite possibly. As I said, I haven't heard
the entire '86 battle, but how are you gonna beat Melle Mel Vs. Caz... twice! Plus, King Sun admirably holds his own, and the DJ competition is stocked with legends.

New Music Seminar MC & DJ Battle 1988

Ronan Vs. Serch
http://www.zshare.net/audio/8630037b22dbfb/
this one's not quite as great as the '87 battle, but we still get to hear MC Serch battle pre-3rd Bass and Mikey D of the LA Posse and later of Main Source who took the belt this year.

Thats my day sorted, some awesome finds there.

Got a lot of listening to do before I can feedback properly.

She had passion and punchlines but technically she missed so many cues, came up short on her bars a couple of times and one time even froze. Bee hit it every time.

Glad you like them.

All comments are by Memoryman btw, not me.

I merely cut & pasted what he'd posted on the Wu Tang forum.

your day sorted ?

More like the next 6 months

Cheers Mr Trek for posting the links

WOW. proper, proper, proper. Thanks a mil Exus and welcome to the board.

I dont even know where to start with all these ?

Can the hip-hop quality control guys give me some advice ?

I would prefer not to start with any obvious Grandmaster flash style block party sets as I've heard hundreds all ready ?

Mr Magic on WBLS?

The stuff of legends.

Had planned on doing some work today but

Big Tune. One of my fave Guy tunes (shout to Snoopy )

You are taking me way back with those links you've posted up Exus Trek. Nice one.

: )
