Back in 94-95, DJ Mister Cee dropped his Best of Biggie Mixtape. Those rap fans who remember, know that at the time, it was THEE mixtape. It was full of unreleased and live material such as freestyles and some of his cameos and little-known tracks from before Ready to Die dropped.
I know that I personally played it until the tape popped. I would use some scotch tape to put the pieces back together, and then repeat 🙂
What I didn’t know was that ten years after Biggie’s death, Mister Cee released a 10-year anniversary edition of the Best of Biggie. Obviously, ten years after his death means that I’m a couple of years too late, but, better late than never:) And in Cee’s own words about the new edition:
You’re not gonna hear ‘Hypnotize’ and those type of records, but it’s focusing on guest appearances. All the guest appearances he’s ever appeared on. Original versions. Nothing remade, original duets he’s done with other artists. Then you have the freestyles he’s done. The freestyles done with me or other DJs like DJ Enuff, Funk Master Flex. Then also, there’s some original versions to songs. There’s some songs you’re gonna hear that you’ve heard the album versions, but you never heard it with the original track.
There’s also some live stuff…Live from Madison Square Garden, Philly, London. It just really shows the short amount of time Biggie was here, the amount he’s done. It’s over 70 songs and a double-CD. – http://j.mp/mister-cee-speaks-on-biggie
Luckily for me (and you!) Both the old mixtape and the anniversary edition are hosted…all over the place. So here are some links for your downloading pleasure, and the track lists.
Also, if you prefer the torrent links, you need a free bitTorrent client like µTorrent

0 CommentsPopular Gay Rap Songs Are On the Horizon
There’s always been a stigma attached to gay people in the hip-hop community. But the times, they are a-changin. With people becoming more and more relaxed with the idea of gay people in our midst (mind you, they’ve ALWAYS been there), we’re seeing more of them come out. Sports figures are talking about it, musicians are talking about it, celebrities have been talking about it.
But what about the rappers? There’s always been rumors of gay rappers. In fact, almost every rapper that’s achieved any kind of success, has been accused of homosexuality. But what about the future? Given the current path that American society is set on, it’s almost guaranteed that we will not only have openly gay rappers, but openly gay rappers that make openly gay songs. Just think of all those club bangers you love to hear…and then put a gay slant on them.
I posted this on the Facebook wall of my main page the other night:
Now, I said that to be funny. But think about it. These songs WILL come eventually. I’m sure there’s already stuff like that out there, but it’s either tongue-in-cheek (so to speak:), or it’s so underground, only a select few know. I’m talking about billboard charting rap pop songs. When it comes on in the club…will you dance to it? Or act like the beat ain’t hot? 😛
I predict this will happen with the transgender community as well. If you know anything about the music industry, you’ll know that if one song becomes popular, the labels will try to force it down our throats for profit (pun intended).
Consider that the current crop of kids growing up will see a lot of this as normal. Other than the kids that are raised with stuff like this specifically pointed out to them as bad. I can’t wait to see it. Mostly because I want to see the backlash that comes from a very popular gay rap song. It’s going to be epic to begin with, and then it’s going to become the norm. As is the progress of all things.
Here are some links where you can read smarter and less lazier people than me speaking on the subject:
And this one’s just for fun 🙂
