(click the image below to listen!) how do I listen to the show? Most of us here are far too young to remember this, but when Dr Martin Luther King, Jr died he was extremely unpopular in the mainstream US media - primarily because of his stance on the war. This sermon could have been delivered this morning and still have been relevant. I’m of course not satisfied with this, because it’s really not possible to do the original justice, but this is what I’ve got. I really could have just thrown the acapella on here, that’s a good enough #100 for me. They say we’ll nod our heads to anything said over a beat and they lament the fact that too much of what is said over those beats is destructive. So here’s something good to nod your head to. Tracklist Words: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr - The Drum Major Instinct Sermon. Delivered 4th February, 1968. He was assassinated two months later, to the day. 0′35 - Jay Electronica - The D.O.C. Song (loop). This is really just a loop taken from the beginning of Jay’s song by the same name. Not sure what the title of the cut means. 2′58 - P Dukes - Brown Leaves. 5′40 - J Dilla - Anti-American Graffiti (Reprise). Kinda hard to do one of these without the D on here. 6′45 - Suburb - Jazz on Acid. 9′00 - Kenny Keys - Set ‘em Up. Mean cut. 10′40 - Madlib - Old Age (loop). 13′40 - Madlib - Pyramids (Changes). If you don’t already own everything that Madlib has put out, you should probably get started now. Stones Throw is a label worth supporting. 15′30 - Suburb - synth+strings. Do yourself a favor and make sure that you listen until the end. holler. Less

(click the image below to check the show…) how do I listen to the show? So for this one, most of the commentary is in the episode. Thusly, I’ll keep the commentary short. The Fibonacci sequence, or the M?tr?meru , refers to a sequence in which the given number is the sum of its two preceding numbers; e.g. 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, etc. So this episode is in such a sequence: 0 Tracks by P Diddy. Duh. 1 Track: Suburb - The Main Ingredient flip. Some day this kid will finish his album. Until then, I’ll continue digging in the archives of stuff he probably doesn’t even remember sending me. 1 Track: UGK - Use Me Up. Rest in peace, Pimp C. This was not good news at all. 2 Tracks: Jay Electronica - A Prayer for Michael Vick & T.I. (We Love You Family). (Prod. J Dilla). Brilliant. Surreal. Jay Electronica - Dimethyltryptamine. Surreal. Brilliant. And I’ll say it again: JAY ELECTRONICA IS A GOVERNMENT PLANT 3 Tracks: Percee P - Lung Collapsing Lyrics feat Pharoahe Monch. This cut is just too much. Percee P - Yes, You May feat A.G. and Lord Finesse. The internal rhymes before anyone even knew what that was. I’m not sure why anyone would choose to dispose of those that chose to go to their shows, but if he says it, I believe it. Shouts to Percee. I hear he has a new record out. Percee P - 1991 Freestyle feat Lord Search. The beatboxing on here is just comedy, but if you actually listen past that, you’ll hear the lyrical mastery. Interludes by: Kenny Keys. (first one is called “Cut”, second is called “Tight Rope”, third is called “Bump”). Good to hear from you again, Ken. This was a good episode for lyrics, wasn’t it? ps - here’s the link for the Mixtape Show Hip-hop podcast facebook page. You should join it, giveaways popping off very soon… Less
