Posted by N/A on

Journalist Jeff Weiss discusses with DJ Skee the late great rappers 2Pac and Biggie. In his new book, 2Pac vs Biggie: Rap’s Greatest Battle, the author provides an interesting outlook on both artists from a standpoint of 15 years later following their untimely deaths.

More importantly, Weiss tackles what they mean to the hip hop culture, the importance of their music and their overall impact which keeps both rap artists relevant to this day. DJ Skee and Jeff Weiss also address the past rumor of potential tension that may have been brewing between 2Pac and Will Smith, Pac’s potential in acting, and the invisible line that was crossed in his beef with Biggie and the avoidable dangers it demonstrated to the entire industry.

AUDIO: !llMind – Beats For Kanye West | Instrumental EP

Posted by N/A on

kanye west ill bill instrumentals EP

Producer !llmind recently took to his soundcloud to deliver a new instrumental EP titled Beats For Kanye West.  According to his official twitter account, !llmind specifies that he created a number of beats throughout a few months in 2012 and the beginning of 2013 with the intent for Kanye to listen to and potentially use.  Today, !llmind lets these gems go and below is what he had to say concerning the matter.

Kanye West is undoubtedly one of the most exciting producer/artists to emerge in the last decade. His music is one of the few I can safely say I whole-heartedly admire (next to the late great J Dilla). I had the pleasure of producing “The Morning” off of 2012′s highly anticipated “Kanye West Presents: G.O.O.D. Music Cruel Summer” LP. During the creation of that song, and between the months of July 2012 – March 2013, I created a handful of tracks with Kanye West in mind. This is a collection of some of that music. It features collaborations and co-production from my long time friend Symbolyc One (Produced Kanye West’s “Power”, “Murder 2 Excellence” on Watch The Throne & part of Kanye’s “Very G.O.O.D. Beats” entity), Dr. Know Jr., M31RK, Hippie Sabotage, Kailiin Yong & The Frontrunnerz. I had so much fun creating this stuff, and I hope you enjoy it just as much as I do. – !llmind
