I stopped smoking weed for a minute but I had to come back to it. Shit was calling me man. Figured I'd bust down some mixtape reviews and relive some stress too.
As we continue to revisit past interviewee's with brand new interview's. Peep the latest feature with DJ 2Mello. We first caught up with 2Mello in 2006, you can read that interview here. Click read more to see the new interview.
I remember getting an email from DJ Rondevu in early 2004. He basically said, he dig'd Rapmullet and that he had CLASSICS in the stash and that every time he drops it's a classic. Pretty bold statement and at that time not be familiar with his work you hit 'em with the "yea right" frame of mind. Rondevu showed and prove tho, sent in a gang of CDs and it was true he had classics. We used to rock the "Hall Of Fame" on Rapmullet back then where classic mixtapes went to shine. Rondevu had numerous joints in the hall and Part 2 was one of the best. Peep the old reviews by Dimez here and here.
Knights of the Round Table as a mixtape series consisted of only a handful of artist but without question 50 Cent was Ronde's favorite artist. You know there's a scratch into and you know the blends will be some of the hardest tracks you'll hear on a skill mixtape. He weaves in some original tracks too, the timing in impeccable, two and three beat blends and the energy is high throughout. Part 1 was near classic and the warm up for Part 2 which should be a part of any mixtape collection.
Rondevu at this time owned his lane. I mean he stepped up and was rocking loose artist based blend concepts before the shit became the norm. He was the trendsetter of that shit. He was the father of that, hands down. He doesn't get the credit either...but he should. Real mixtape heads know it and really that's all you can ask for.
It's been a minute on a new mixtape review right? I ask myself once a day...are mixtapes even relevant anymore? Reviews...not so much. I mean you can Google any mixtape and find a link and decide if you fuck with it or not. Why do you need to know what I think?
