Cooking Music: Best of Lil B 2010 on Rad Summer Radio

I went over to an “undisclosed secret location” in Northern Liberties, North Philadelphia on Friday and layed down an hour-long live mix of some of The Based God’s choice cuts from the past year for Rad Summer Radio with my dude Flufftronix. It’s quite #based, #rare and even a lil bit #secrete.

A few words on the mix though.

It took me a while to come around on dude and his weird, stream of consciousness, alternatingly high and low concept form of hip-hop.  So let me add this to the conversation: this year, we saw Diddy release a really compelling dance-rap album, put the amazing Prince-esque ladybot Joelle Monae in the spotlight and publicly lament the fact that he couldn’t sign Jay Electronica, one of the most “real hip-hop” dudes out there on the cusp right now.   Ten years ago, Diddy was a punching bag for backpackin-ass dudes for whom “keeping it real” was some kind of weird religion.  Now he looks like one of the more forward thinking big men in the giant tent that is “rap music in 2011”.  So rather than being the billionth dude to talk about this or this or this, I’m just gonna say we should really respect a guy who puts Cormega on a track called “Birth Of Rap 2”.

ALSO Lil B’s prolific nature is a lot more about quantity than quality, so there’s a lot of really terribly mixed*** tracks on tracks on there, 96 kbps with blown-out bass and shit.  And there’s a lot of sloppy cuts where I was testing levels.  Sorry!

(“terrible mixed” = audio quality! not making any apologies/excuses for my mixing!)
