Monday Morning Mixtape 3-14-11
Dead ass real I wasn’t gonna even write anything this week cause I’m busy as hell but the shit was calling me man. Wasn’t a bad week at for mixtapes and music in general either so that makes it a lil easier.
The mixtapes that got the majority of the burn last week from me were two blend DJs. DJ Cinema and Prophecy. Prophecy returns with another installment of his Deep Fried Blends series. Deep Fried Blends 3 had me open tho and I’m not a devout southern listener like that. Any project that can get me listening to the likes of Bone Crusher, Unk, Trina, Gorilla Zoe and Mannie Fresh and enjoying it is a dope ass mixtape. Polished blends mixed with proper timing while on key the majority of the time is exactly what this joint is about...
Prophecy Presents - Deep Fried Blends 3
Blends mixtapes are some of my favorite mixtapes. It's always interesting to hear what a DJ can come up with when they are left to their own creative devices. Whether the beats are matched perfectly, and what crazy songs are they gonna mix up. I have heard RnB mixed with hip-hop that you would never think would ever work and it came off flawlessly. That's all in the blend game.
This new mixtape, Deep Fried Blends 3 is a great example of some excellent Southern blends. This whole mixtape flows hard from front to back. Cuts include Pimp C (R.I.P.) Mike Jones and Bun B's throwback classic "Pourin Up", Young Dro Gucci and T.I. "Freeze Me", Travis Porter's sneak hit "Make It Rain", Mike Jones old banger with Snoop Dogg and Bun B "My 6-4" which pays respect to Cali-type classic low riders. Plus blends from Juvenile, Webbie, Lil' Jon, Juicy J, Youngbloodz and more. This is a solid blends mixtape and this entire series has been great so far. Good work, Prophecy.
