Joe Budden Vs. Portishead

Mood Muzik Third

Mixed by Ill Poetic

Have to give it up to Ill Poetic, dude works fast. Joe budden Vs. Portishead, Mood Muzik Third, is a new tape blending various Joey acapellas with the beats from legandary Trip-Hop trio portishead’s newest album, Third. While not everything works, it’s still dope to hear two of my all-time most influential and jock-ridden artists one one tape. Get a direct download and tracklist after the jump!

Pete Rock

NY’S Finest

Nature Sounds (2008)

CD - Instrumental

Pete Rock dropped this almost 2 months ago and it’s had my headphones on lock since. I mean, how much can I write here. It’s dope as shit, and, since I couldn’t pick just one slice of crack to serve in two months, I had to drop a whole bag of it instead. And, any album that is from 2008 but has CHIP muthafuckin FU on it is dope. End of story.

So download this already, what’re you waiting for?

Note: Sorry for the weaksauce megaupload, but full albums cost Dr. Huxtable too much, and Theo’s got those new glasses…

Oh yeah, one more thing…

I’ve notice the code and server this site runs off is all messed up and old and shitty, so I’d give y’all a heads up to grab as much as you can cause I think it’s scorched earth time on this beeatch. Time to upgrade to SpliffHux 5.0.

Masters of the Universe

Reality Check
Produced by Trackazoids

Subterraneous (1998)

An oldie but a goodie from Binary Star, the original crew of Michigan rapper One Be Lo (Aka OneManArmy). After you get past the moody mobb-deep style intro, the beat switches into a really smooth spring-time throwback jam with that boom-bap ish and some vocal samples.. In the vein of those early Hi-Tek / Rawkus joints you know me and Mrs. Huxtable love, this one rolls out nice and easy. Production handled by Trackazoids, which seems to be One Be Lo and some other cats. They handled all the beats in house for the MOTU shit, so I don’t know much more than that kids.

I’m easing back into the site like a warm bath, don’t rush me!

Big Pun

Still Not A Player
Produced by Knobody

Loud Records (1998)

Is he back? For reals though? He is…

Let me apologize to the fambasis for my latest unexplained absence*. I was going to pack it in when a flood of emails and txt messages changed my mind. All y’all out there in internerd rapland really came out to let me know that Dr. Huxtable is still needed in the game. *wipes tear*.

I was so lazy in even shutting this site down that I said fuck it, and am going to keep it up. With even more shit to come. I got a gang (aight, my boy) behind me (no homo) to help now, so we’re ready to roll.

Why “Still not a player”, the remix to “I’m not a player”? Well why not? It’s classic, it knocks, it’s Pun. And, I STILL ain’t a player… just ask my girl ;)

* Note: Why did I drop the 80’s theme week? I really couldn’t find any good instrumentals that didn’t make me cringe. Word is bond, if you got 80’s beats that you think should be featured here, drop a line 2 props@spliffhuxtable.com, ya dig?

Kid Frost

Terminator
Produced by Dave Storrs

Electrobeat Records (1985)

Back on the 80’s tip today. I know I said I week of 80’s joints last week (Fresh, I hear you) , but you know how shit do*.

Back to it: This has got to be one of the oldest instrumentals I can stomach. It’s so Miami Vice that I can smell the denim and cocaine and bubble letters just hearing it, but in reality it’s a West Coast classic. Out in 1985 on Electrobeat Records and produced by Dave Storrs, this is one of the earliest appearances of Kid Frost, Aka Frost, Aka the Hispanic Panic, west coast O.G. who’s still dropping records (as of 2005).

Dave “The Alien Wizard” Storrs was a west coast electro producer who crafted joints that are still getting played to this day (a recent Fabric Mix CD featured two of his his joints, Killer and Body Rock, from the mid 80’s). Wanna talk old-school status? He had joints on Breakdance: The Motion Picture. Now that’s old-school.

*I had other concerns (mainly the fact we rocked a show sunday with T.O. legends Mathmatik & Motion that was dope as all hell).

Awwwwww yeah boyeeeee!!! Takin’ shit all the way back with 7, count em, 7 days of beats from those golden years of 1980 to 1989. Gettin things started with a dope selection of classics, and the inspiration behind this post, a fly J-Armz tape I just got (I know it’s been out sine last summer, but seriously, these beats are older than some girls I know, no joke)

Ghostface Killah Ft. Trife

Milk Em’

Benny Cassette Remix (Ft. Tara Ellis) - Instrumental

(2005) Sound And Colour

Really, you cant go wrong with Ghostface. This single popped up again the other day and I when I got it a few years back I hated it. But after 2 years I’m all up in the version. So have at it. A really grimy “vintage Neptunes-esque” jam, whatever that means. I’ve included the vocal too, with the ridiculous “You are my Sunshine” hook. Ghost, you so crazy.

Dan-E-O

Dear Hip-Hop
From: Rap Essentials Vol 1. (1996)

Gettin’ back into the swing of things with a classic T-Dot joint by Dan-E-O from the also classic Rap Essentials Vol. 1, one of the defining Toronto hip-hop albums…. So, I’ve been mad busy, oh, and Hip-Hop died in Toronto over the winter. Shitty.

I guess it’s up to me to try and save it. Damn.
