So since I clearly failed my stats exam miserably I decided to take my mind off of things for a little to cool down. As a result, I have made my 2nd mixtape for all of you to hear. This time I have the track listings the way you guys will receive them, so sit back and enjoy the tunes:


1. Ruination - Sleestack'z
To open up the CD I decided to put back to back Slee tracks. These guys know how to rock the mix and move along with the beat. Great flow and mellow beat. Starts the mixtape off well. Off their album "Behind the Iron Curtain".

2. Wealth & Real Estate - Sleestack'z
Another track that is all too easy to chill to. The beat flows onto you and catches you in its drift. Off the same album "Behind the Iron Curtain". Enjoy this one.

3. One Time - Brand Nubian
One of the best Threesomes in rap in my honest opinion. Sadat X, Lord Jamal and Grand Puba always know how to flow. Look soon for an all Brand Nubian mix, including group members singles and from back in the day in Brand. Off the album "Time's Runnin' Out"

4. K.I.M. 2000 - Smif N Wessun
I felt it necessary to throw this into the mixtape since i put the original KIM on the last tape. This is following the relaxing vibes brought to you in the songs before. Off the album "The Album". No joke.

5. For My People - Large Professor
Probably one of my favorite unknown to the public MCs. He is so smooth and beats are classic. He really reminds me of J Live in his rhymes and flow, just overall a fantastic artist. Off the album "The LP"

6. Crooklyn Dodgers - OC (feat. Chub Rock & Jeru the Damaja)
Honestly, I don't feel this song needs any introduction. Probably my favorite song ever created. Lyrically incredible, best premier beat ever, (up for debate with some beats he has made for Gang Starr and J Live) and the artist featured are just incredible. Just love this track like it is meant to be. Many places to find this song, I got it off of OC's "Still droppin jewelz- The best of OC"

7. Once Again - Brand Nubian
Another great Brand Nubian song, this one produce within the group by Lord Jamal. Pretty rugged beat completely slayed by the Nubian boys. Off the album "Time's Runnin' Out"

8. Act Too (Love of My Life) - The Roots (feat. Common)
This has probably been heard by a lot of you that visit my blog, but non the less needs to be on the CD. Rappers now a days NEED to listen to this song and really understand what Black Thought is saying. If only every MC felt this way about Hip Hop then maybe we wouldnt be flooded with shitty mainstream tracks. Its to the point I can't even visit 90% of hip hop forums cause of the stupid douchebags that think 50 Cent (present day) or Lil'Wayne are the best artists ever. ughhhhhhhhhhhh. Off the album "Things Fall Apart"

9. Ijuswannachill - Large Professor
This track is a little more mainstream but classic non the less. Do what the song says boys and girls. Off the album "The LP"

10. 99.9 Pa Cent - Jeru The Damaja
Probably my favorite Jeru track. Little more dramatic beat that catches you, amazing hook and Jeru lyrics are always on spot. Off the album "Heroz 4 Hire"

11. Love - Diamond D
What is love? Listen to this track. What you expect from Diamond? incredible beats, unreal flow, great rhymes and fantastic hook. All featured in this track. Love this one. Off the album "Grown Man talk"

12. Push Up - Roots and Bahamadia (Produced by DJ Premier)
Takes a bit to start up with constant beat hooks that Premo loves to throw into his mixtapes but deal with it, cause one Black hits the mic you know whats up. Off the album "Crooklyn Cuts Tape D" (I got this in Premos 4 mix tape pack)

13. So Now Ya Know - Diezzle Don & Da Govner
I featured this song primarily to introduce you guys to an unknown rap duo and also for the simple fact that the song is great. Off the album "1995 (Year Of The Independent)"

14. He Burns Trees - Copywrite
Trying to mix it up now with a little more of a mainstream flow. To all you that shun Copywrite I beg you to not skip over this song. I as well used ot dislike Copy, but he really is a good lyricist and does rap over some great beats. Off the album "The Worst Of The Best Of Mixtape Vol. 1" (his own best of Copywrite tapes)

15. Neighbors Freestyle - Copywrite
Once again trying to mix it up with a quick little freestyle for y'all. Not the greatest, but still very good. Fast beat so just enjoy how he links everything that quickly.

16. Jussumen (Pete Rock Remix) - Das EFX
"I liggity love you" Dave Chappelle
To all true hip hop heads of course we know that chappelle was talking about Das EFX and their incredibly original rhyming abilities, but to all who didnt know, enjoy to finally solve the mystery as to what chappelle was talking about when he screamed those words in "The three Daves" skit. Off the album "Dead Serious"

17. Jane 6 - EPMD
Aight, so i am going to be brutally honest here, I usually can't fucking stand EPMD or their old school beats (i am not one for those). But this song is rugged, rough and tough. One of the only EPMD I can fully enjoy (yes Da Joint is the other song of theirs I love, but who doesnt?). Off the album "Out Of Business"

18. Can You Find... - The Freestyle Fellowship
I gotta show EVERYONE i know this song for the simple fact that they CRUSH twista in "the fastest flow" race. Fuck they are so quick. See if you can say what they saying that fast "can you find the lyrical difficulty in this." I just dont see how each member (Aceyalone, P.E.A.C.E., Mikah 9 and Self Jupiter) are equally fast. Off the album "Shockadoom 98sessions"



So I hope you all completly and utterly enjoy this "Best of Vol.2" mixtape. If you guys have any comments, suggestions or even requests I truly hope you will post it in the comments or even MSN / Email me at Thumper_espoma@hotmail.com
