Tracks from Histoire de Melody Nelson spice up tracks by rappers (De La Soul was the first band to sample Serge), triphoppers, singer-songwriters and French funnymen. Here's a resumé of all tracks that have a Melody Nelson-sample. If you know of/have more, let me know. Tomorrow: the cover versions. Sample source En Melody : David Holmes - S***! S***! S***! (from the Ocean's 13 OST) (2007) De La Soul - Not over 'til the Fat Lady plays the demo (1991) Sample source La ballade de Melody Nelson : [...]

RJD2 is one of the finest producers making music. PERIOD. Despite not getting a lot of commercial play, his unreal instrumentals are atypical in hip hop music. His changeups and drum programming is that of legend. Amazing build ups, ethereal sounds and 15 different records sampled on one song = RIDICULOUS TALENT. Dude's a beast. Respeck. Drop it like a Ghostwriter - Snoop Dogg vs RJD2 - Vico Ono - Vico Ono mashed up RJD2's "Ghostwriter" with Snoop's "Drop it like it's Hot". Dope. via [...]

Next week, Passion of the Weiss will be counting down the 50 Greatest Producers of All-Time. Before then, we're highlighting some of the best to ever yell at people for labeling them "beat makers." (It's better than the excessively pause-worthy, "knob twiddlers.)" Before you ask, #1 is going to the guy who made the beat for "Still Tippin.'" It seemed like the only sensible option. Rick Rock What was the point of [...]

I cry on few occasions. One definite is always the last scene in Home Alone ; a brother can't hold tears back when the old man neighbor reunites with his granddaughter. My other soft spot is whenever I'm alone driving while smoking blunts and bumping classic beats; sometimes my emotions take over. That shit happened recently while I was jamming RJD2 's " Final Frontier " remix (with Blueprint , Aesop Rock , Vast Aire , and Murs ). My tears weren't just because it's one of the finest posse cuts that [...]
If DJ Shadow's Endtroducing introduced society to the possibility of sample based hip hop, Deadringer ripped open the genre's limitless potential...

In lieu of my friend and comrade Erik Burg leaving us at Mind Inversion, I wanted to do a review that would hit close to home with him. When you think of dynamic duos, you tend to think of pairings such as Premier & Guru, Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth and not to mention Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince. This is where Rjd2 and Blueprint come into the equation. From the first time that I heard these guys collaborate on Rjd2's album Dead Ringer I knew they were going to be preposterous pairing in every aspect. [...]
I took the day off. I need a kitchen table. And when I hopped in the van - that's right a van - to go find one, there was a bank commercial on assuring me that my money was safe. Good. But the weird thing about it was that the music in the... [More after the jump...]

This one's coming straight from the heart. No gimmicks. When I look back at my life immediately following college, I'll remember the trials, the paychecks that didn't come, the uninsurance, the sleeping on the office couch - but I'll be remiss to put a soundtrack to it all. Blame it on whatever's convenient: for a little more than a year, I lived well outside the influence of music. I listened to little and discovered less. I went through a computer reformat that lasted me nearly a year without ever installing my iPod transfer software. Fuck, I don't think [...]

I haven't been giving hip hop much attention lately so I thought I might just create a mix cd to mend this, the theme: my favorite hip hop tracks from 2006. I wanted to do this early in July but it just slipped my mind, better late than never. I have to make a note that the majority of hip hop that I listen to would be considered indie hip hop but I'm not 100% sure what that means but I have an idea. A link to the download the whole thing in one swoop at the bottom. [...]
We would like to introduce you to Soul Position . When we kicked back, threw on the headphones, and listened to this artist we thought "I might slap you into a brand new dental plan. Nice."
