Rated 5/5
Review by symixosis Sep 27, 2004 (edited over 5 years ago)
This is one of the dopest and most original mixes I have ever heard. These guys rock. They have such a vast knowledge and repertoire of records, and still keep it real and keep it funky. The segment when they breeze through those killer old school Hip Hop instrumentals ("Get Tough," "Step Off," "One for the Treble," "Action," "Jam on Revenge," etc.) is impressive. Any true Hip Hop fan knows that that is some ill shit that they pulled off there. The rest of the mix, like the Brainfreeze CD/DVD, is an educational tour of old soul, funk, and rock tunes/breaks. And to top it off all of these records are 7" 45's!!! God I would love to see Shadow's collection.
Rated 4/5
Review by alucas Feb 02, 2004
Anyone who's heard "Brainfreeze" understands that trying to create an equally successful follow-up would be no easy task. "Product Placement" is very good, but falls just a few steps short of great. It's just not as interesting as Brainfreeze, and the Rappin' With Gas segment wears thin upon further listens (unlike Thunderkick, which never gets old). I will say that the jingles section (Coke, Strike Cola, Milk, etc...) is extremely well done. So yeah, this isn't quite the same caliber as Brainfreeze, but it's still better than most mixes you're likely to hear from any other DJ(s).
