I got back on the horse and banged this out last week.  I figured why make mixes if you’re not going to give it to the people.  So here it is, my first mix in over 2 years.  Just a little taste of what’s to come.

DJ Taiga – September 2007 Live Mix Podcast (MP3)

Feel free to leave feedback.  Good ones hopefully.

Kanye with Rainn Wilson (Dwight from The Office) at the Emmys with Wayne Brady.

Sorry for the recent absence. I took a little vaca to Cali for a week or so and just got back. Here’s some “new” 2Pac footage I watched at nahright.com (great blog for hip hop heads). Pac was so intelligent and articulate at such a young age and the youth of this world was really disserviced when he passed. This clip is from 92 before the Death Row days when he went all “Gangsta” to make that cash.

Other news… I’m DJing in NYC for the first time this Saturday. If you in the area, feel free to come out and support.

This is a mixtape rip of it. My favorite line has to Weezy going:

“Let’em hate though
I’m on my way to the bank.. L M A O.”

Yeah I’m a nerd.

Kanye West Feat Lil Wayne Busta – Can’t Tell Me Nothin (Remix)

Also check out this Dream remix with Fabolous:

Dream Feat Fabolous – Shawty is a Ten (Remix)

I wish I was there… but sadly I was not invited. haha.

Minya aka Miss Info has a great recap here.

I’m a shark in the water.. you’re just Long John Silver. Good job Wayne.

His acting is a little suspect, but his music is definitely NOT.  I cannot wait for the album to drop. CANNOT WAIT.

Been on the R&B tip lately. These remixes are just up my alley.

Lil Mo & Fabolous – Sumtimes I (Remix)

I’ve always been a huge Red Cafe fan. His storytelling, wordplay, and delivery is just slick. He’s apparently done well for himself either:

A) Selling crack… aka The Arm & Hammer Man
B) Ghostwriting for other artists
C) Still poor

Beat produced by Trackmasters. DJ Envy “made it happen” aka called the 3 parties and said “Hey… let’s make a song and I’ll get production credit for it for linking all parties together. Yes. Show me the money.”

DJ Envy Feat Red Cafe & Nina Sky – Things You Do

…or in this case just me.  Shortly a year after I promised the world to all 3 of my readers, I come back with more promises.  Actually no.  No more promises.  I will update this when I deem it appropriate.  It’s not like I have people to please.  (please come back… all 3 of you.  I promise to update regularly.  I promise.  really.)

And to show some “good” faith, here’s the new babyface song.

Babyface – Not Going Nowhere

When did he turn into Garth Brooks?

And more from a new R&B songwriter (Umbrella) turned artist…

The Dream – Shawty Is a Ten
