Tracks You May Have Missed

It’s the Unit, the mighty Unit. This week’s throwback comes from the guys that killed the mixtape circuit for a few years in the early 2000’s. In the last few days 50 Cent’s unruly gang has made a serious resurgence. They (50, Banks, Yayo and Buck) appeared on Hot 97’s Summer Jam stage in complete reunion form, performed a few tracks and…

“Get your popcorn, get your condiments/ You don’t wanna miss nothing, ok listen…” Not only the intro to the track but possibly to Kanye’s life (which is indeed movie worthy) we would like to take you back to a time when Kanye was still rocking backpacks, polos and trying to get into more than just producing. “Livin’ a Movie” is a track off…

It’s Thursday, so we’ve got another under the radar track that you may have missed. We’re taking it back to early 2012 when Trap music was just starting to really gain traction. The song is Baauer’s ‘Dum Dum’. Most casual fans know Baauer as “the guy who made Harlem Shake” but he is far more than that. One of best breakout producers of…

Top down, chrome spinning! Our ‘Tracks You May Have Missed’ series continues and today’s throwback comes from the malicious music pushing duo known as Clipse. Comprised of Pusha T (GOOD Music) and Malice (now, No) the coke dealers-turned-rappers (who are also brothers) formed a duo that had the streets and clubs buzzing with their raw flow and lyrics. It helped that…

Y’all know who! For this weeks #tbt series we look back at one of the illest back and fourth tracks from Brooklyn native Fabolous. The original track, Keeping It Gangsta was a smash. It actually got spins on the radio back in ’03 when the album dropped. But its the remix, the bonus track on the album, that really holds…

This week we’re taking it back to 1998, a year when Jay-Z was better known for his drug dealing exploits than his business deals and Ja Rule was one of the hottest rappers in the game (I swear it’s true!). The track is ‘Gangsta Shit’ and subject matter is fitting to the title. It’s track 7 of Dj Clue’s The…

It’s time for another Throwback Thursday segment and this week, we’re bringing the ruckus like some mad motherf*ckas! This track introduced me to the Trap game. And quite honestly, it was the perfect introduction. When I heard the term “trap” get thrown around in conversation, I always dismissed it as some type of dance music, which at that time, I…

Let it burn. We’ve been doing this series for a while now and we’re glad you, our readers, enjoy it. For this weeks #tbt we’re revisiting a track from The Legendary Roots Crew’s album “How I Got Over”. The track is titled “The Fire” and features soulful R&B singer John Legend. LISTEN: The Fire featuring John Legend “I realize, I’m…

Throwing it back to 2007! For this weeks Tracks You May Have Missed series we’re taking it back to Classified’s 2007 album While You Were Sleeping. Personally, this is one album I bumped for a whole summer. Everyday, through and through. This was a compilation album that had both released and unreleased material and one of the stand out tracks on…

It’s Thursday, time to hit you with another Track You May Have Missed. This week we’re taking it back to 1996 for a cut off Eminem’s debut album Infinite. It’s the title track and opens the album off. Keep in mind this is pre Dr. Dre. The production is understated with a laidback vibe allowing for Em’s lyricism, wordplay and flow to…
