J Dilla – Crushin’ (Original Version)

More unreleased Dilla goodies, courtesy of Waajeed.

Today’s stream is of the original version of “Crushin” produced by me. We have J Rocc to thank for this one. I was DJing with Houseshoes in San Fran with Fran Boogie and DJ Mr. E. We heard J Rocc was staying in the same hotel and went to holla at him. We were talking about Dilla rarities when he said that he liked that version of, “Crushin” I did. I was like what version!?! He played it and it split my melon! I did that beat for Dilla circa 2002 for his MCA project – I assumed he never used it when I didn’t hear anything. Turns out it was the original version that he later remixed himself for his then newly founded label, Mummy Records.

[Video] Slum Village – Tell Me (Unreleased)

Respect B47

While some consider Dilla’s strong suit to be production, others look to his rhyming for inspiration. This early Slum Village track, “Tell Me What You Want” is a fine example of his ill penmanship. It was one of the first efforts as Baatin, T3 and Dilla came out of the Senepod crew name and became Slum Village. At the time Dilla didn’t even have a drum machine, so this beat was actually made using the “pause and record” tape method. It was never released.

2Pac – NY’87 & Watch Yo Mouth (Unreleased Diss Tracks)

According to eskay:

So, here are two gems. “Watch Yo Mouth”, a scathing diss track in which Pac checks Nas, Dr. Dre, Wendy Williams, De La Soul, Puff and Biggie has been floating around for a while, but in less than stellar quality. Here’s the full track in what appears to be CDQ (I converted them to mp3 from the wav files I found them in).

Also, we have the elusive “NY ’87 (Now That’s Dissin)”, a track I remember reading about in some dark coner of the internet many years ago in the days before blogs. As I understand it, this was originally a Dogg Pound track featuring ‘Pac, DJ Quik and Deadly Threat, but it was never released for whatever reason. Targets on this include: Mobb Deep, Biggie, Nas, and really the entire city of New York.

Jay-Z – Criminology Freestyle (Unreleased)

Colby Colb has decided to liberate a rare Jay-Z interview/freestyle from ‘95.

What can I say, this is a historic moment in Hip Hop. At the time I knew of Jay-z from Original Flavor and he had a cameo on this Big Daddy Kane song that was out that summer.

This was before Rocafella, this was best friends Jay and Dame driving down to Philly in twin Lexus GS Coupes with records in the trunk. This was one of Jay-z first interviews outside of New York. You could see the potential in him, he was nervous yet confident. During this interview he talks about life before Reasonable Doubt which didn’t come out until 10 months later. Check out the freestyle over some Wu beats.
