PS
Again, regarding the Dilla fiasco, it is my opinion that we as bootleggers help share things with others. I am quite the downloader, but I also support the artists I know I like as well as I feel have deserved it for putting out quality stuff. Also, if an artist personally asks you to take his/her stuff down, it's the least you can do to follow their wish, and move on. Kenny Fresh was polite about this situation, and his request was carried out. RIP Dilla.

I'm done, carry on. Have a good day everyone.

- All tracks produced by The Avalanches
- All tracks in MP3 format

In case you're wondering, there are only four tracks for "At Last Alone" because the other five tracks are remixes of The Avalanches' stuff, and the remixes suck. The Avalanches are a group from Australia whose debut CD "Since I Left You" quickly became a hip-hop classic. It also gained fame for it's unheard of use of 1000s of samples. Enjoy.

Top Five Rappers & Producers
So the other day I was sitting in math class bored as hell, when I decided to make a list of my "Top Five Rappers". I was actually sitting at my desk when I was doing this, with my iPod in hand so I could scroll through the list of artists and come up with some names. Right before I even began looking through the artists, I came up with three off the top of my head: Big L, Big Punisher, and Nas. At this point I was like, holy shit, this is gonna be easy. I then came up with a list of other possible candidates for the last two. These candidates were: Rakim, Method Man, AZ, Canibus, and 2Pac. I rationalized that although Method Man was a big player in the game he didn't show enough prowess alone, and Rakim is a legend for sure and it's rumored that he even produced the Eric B. & Rakim stuff but same as Meth, he just hasn't showed his skills outside of his roots (a.k.a. Eric B. & Rakim). Then, I sat there for like, fifteen minutes trying to decide on AZ, 2Pac, and Canibus. I figured that Canibus deserves a spot after Rip the Jacker, Mic Club, etc., and that 2Pac was such a huge part to the game that he couldn't be forgotten.

Top Five Rappers: Nas, Big Punisher, Big L, 2Pac, Canibus

Surprised at how long "Top Five Rappers" took, I figured that with fifty minutes left in class a "Top Five Producers" was worth a shot. Right away, I came up with four: DJ Premier, DJ Shadow, RJD2, and Pete Rock. I got ecstatic because I thought that this one would take me no time. But oh no. After widdling down my last to pick the fifth producer (I went through ten other producers), I came to two producers: Jay Dee and 9th Wonder. But now I'm fuckin' stuck! I can't decide who is better because they both kick so much ass. So I'm including them both in my list until I can pick one.

Top Five Producers: DJ Premier, Pete Rock, DJ Shadow, RJD2, and Jay Dee/9th Wonder

Hit me up with your "Top Five Rappers/Producers". If you're bored and need something to do, I guarantee this will occupy your time for quite a while.

Oh Yeah This Is Pretty Urgent:
Someone NEEDS to hook me up with the instrumental for The Perceptionist's "Breathe In The Sun". In my opinion, it was one of the only good tracks on their cd, and the beat is beyond good. After hearing the original sample (although I forget what it was off the top of my head) there's an incredible chop and sample use. Produced by Willie Evans Jr., I need this in my life. We here at strictlybeats do our best to provide you with anything requested, and it's rare we request ourselves. Someone help me out :)

/Rant Alert/And on a side note, I saw a blog today that made me pretty frustrated. How immature do you have to be to make a blog making fun of someone else? The folks over at HHB do a good job and deserve the credit for showing people new, undiscovered, and even some well-known appreciated music. The people at rhhb need to grow up. Seriously. That is all from me.

Carry on, and be on the lookout for the request. Enjoy the music everyone.

Flying Lotus - July Heat

Dynamite Deluxe - Deluxe Beats (2000)

The trio from Hamburg Germany dropped their fantastically successful debut album "Deluxe Soundsystem" in 2000, after causing a lot of ruckus with their demos and various guest spots by their MC Samy Deluxe, famous for his battle-style raps and fondness of weed. Later, DJ Dynamite left the group and may be familiar to some of you as Joni Rewind whose great album "Welcome to the world" featured nuff cats from the UK, Jamaican and American scene. Samy Deluxe kept making albums with Tropf, the producer.

This instrumental album consists mainly of beats used on the first album and I've added the titles of the tracks they ended up on in brackets whenever I was able to make them out.
