Welcome DJ Emir to the Rapmullet review section. His catch phrase is "Real DJs Do Real Things" so I'm expecting some skill and some mixing. Check out his website: www.djemir.com when you get a chance. Def a quality home base for a quality DJ, cats need to take notes on the business side of things.
I haven't heard "Mama Said Knock You Out" in a minute but that "Get Buck" remix was cool as a fan. We used to come out to our basketball games to this song back in the day. Emir was transforming the fuck outta the remix too. That "Tambourine Soul" mix was the shit too. I can def see the club getting amped to this joint; Rakim never sounded fresher. I loved how he went from Wayne Wonders "No Letting Go" into the Bangles "Walk Like An Egyptian" with that Digable Planets vocal looped in the background and the "Touch It" beat rocking throughout. "Jockin Jay-Z" with Oasis' "Wonderwall" was def potent product and it went into the "50 Cent vs DJ Emir" perfectly as Emir spazzed on the cuts. I don't usually fuck with Rihanna but that mix of "Please Don't Stop The Music" was crazy as cat shit. Can't never go wrong fucking a with classic Mike Jackson either.
This project is 60 + tracks long, continuous mixing, tons of skill, some quality mash ups (hate that phrase) and overall just a high-energy party type joint. I give Emir credit cause he pulled off the three turntable vibe like a vet and he let the music do the talking so to speak. Meaning it has that vibe of Emir starting out with a few tracks in mind and he lets the music take over while he just mixes and at the end of it all you got 60 tracks. If you're into party joints this is def the mixtape series for you. Shout to Emir for keeping mixtape hope alive, it is appreciated man...thanks.

Hey Big Chew and the Rest of Rap Mullet:
What's the haps?
Wow that's cool, I'm so glad you guys did a review on DJ Emir's Ironman mixtape, I'm a huge fan (of both you guys) DJ Emir's Iron Man Mixtape is one of my favorites. I love Emir's mixing style. I have a few of his mixtapes and so far every one has managed to become a favorite in my CD collection. The whole first 40 minutes of the Ironman mixtape are just pure insanity. there's so much energy in the mixes, he's gotta be dripping in sweat by the time the mixtape's done, MMM yummy LOL.
There's a few smoother slightly more mellow songs for just a minute and then blam he goes back in hard to finish the mixtape like a trooper. Most of the other mixtapes I have collected end at somewhere around the 35 minute - 50 minute mark so when a DJ actually pushes past that mark, puts in a herculean effort and still finishes strong I really appreciate the amount of work they put into the project.
The real crazy thing about it is that I tend to only listen to either his Transformers mixtape or his Ironman mixtape and not much else whenever I drive in my car. I was almost tempted to drop my satelite radio service cause I hardly use it anymore, but occasionally I will listen to Shade45 or a few other mixshows and of course gotta hear the news, traffic and weather so I still kept it, for now.
You nailed it right on that review. That 50 Cent Get Money remix was totaly on point with the mixes and especially the cutting and scratching on that track in particular, I nearly creamed myself when I heard that mix *blushes* ;)
I've become one of Emir's fans for life and like a crack addict am always fiending for that next hit. I can't wait to see what he rolls out next time. - Acrista Billings
Word this is one hell of a hard mixtape. Picked this bad boy up a few months back and have been bumping it for a quick minute.
You damned right DJ Emir was cutting up some serious LL Cool J. Like he was cutting cocain, like he was a japanese sushi chef slicing it up at your table and serving the raw hip hop as if to say he felt we haven't taken in enough of the proper Hip Hop nutrients and needed to be force fed.
I highly recommend this mixtape if you don't got it, go-on-n-get-get-git-it. DJ Emir is pure fire and This mixtape is burnin hot.
