DJ Spanish Fly mega post



I'm certain there is nothing that flows better in the background than a DJ Spanish Fly tape. Simple as fuck, the beat, the snare and the drum pattern creates the melody. There's plenty Triggerman samples, some N.W.A. samples here and there, slow tales about money, hoes, slanging thangs and spitting raps over dope beats.

It somewhat troubles me I can't really describe more precisely what an impact DJ Spanish Fly had to the scene of 80's and 90's Memphis and Tennessee DJ'ing and rap music. I simply wasn't around to experince the scene myself. But I do know he has been described as a pioneer and major influence to well known Memphis artists as DJ Paul, Al Kapone, 8Ball & MJG and Jazze Pha. As he desribes in a short interview at Fader from some time back, some of the biggest acts in the Memhpis scene today would learn about music from him while visiting the night club Club No Name, where he performed and DJ'd frequently during the latter part of the 80's and early 90's. For more information on the man and his place in rap music I suggest you visit his myspace, where there's a rather thorough biography.



The albums following are the what I've been able to gather from ze internet during the last couple of years since first discovering DJ Spanish Fly and finding I'm Da Nigga somewhere, probaly on Cocaineblunts old-old forums. Finding information about these releases haven't been easy, actually I haven't found any information besides somewhat accurate tracklists and years of release. I'm pretty sure this records never where sold properly thru a record company, but rather are cassete tapes sold directly from the man himself during the 80's and 90's. There is no information on his myspace about how to purchase any of his music. That's why I feel that it is okay for me to share so much of his music like this.

I suppose alot of you are new to DJ Spanish Fly's music and probaly will not download all these records. But if you do enjoy these youtube videos above and wan't to give one or two of his records a chance, I would suggest you check out either I'm Da Nigga (previously posted) or Going To Mr Z's, does two are definatley my favorite records from him. If you're in a little bit more substance, there's plenty of political/Chuck D-ish songs on Black Radio. Hope any of you will enjoy his music as much as I have, and for those of you who are already fans, I hope you will find something here you hadn't heard before.

As for artwork, at best it's a picture of the original cassette tape, and some of the other pictures are just random photos of Mr. Fly.

Max Minelli EP!

COPY PASTE FROM WYDU WHATEVER FUCK A UNIQE POST LOL



One of my favorite rappers and previously posted on Max Minelli just dropped this pre-album EP last week as a treat for what is to come on Pain Medicine, which will be his first post-Koch-adventure album. Last I heard Pain Medicine is set to drop November 24th on a independent label called Self Employed (SLF EMP). I'm not gonna speak to much on this, since my views on Max's music is thoroughly expressed in my older posts on him. So all I have to say really is that this is really good. I feel like Max Minelli's style and how he expresses himself with a somewhat new found authority is something the non-traditional southern rap listener could dig.

Also, if you're a fan. Check out this Word of South interview with Max from October 19th. Where he among other things speaks on his previous label situations with Koch:

"Basically brah, major labels, need to kill they selves. Straight up, because they don’t have a clue. And that’s how I feel. They need to kill they selves. It seems like; record companies are ran by some of the stupidest fucking people in the world. It seems like it. If you doing something right, let’s say me and you we had a shoe store, and if it’s failing. And it just continues to fail every year, more and more. Evidently we’re not doing something right. Evidently. So, when we keep doing the same thing, like, “Aaah, we not selling these Adidas and lets bring in more Adidas, that makes more sense!” That’s stupid. But if you call it stupid, that’d be crazy. That’s what record labels do."

Most beats and productions credits on the Pre-Med EP goes to South Park Mexican Happy Perez. Enjoy and cop his album when it drops.

Sirealz of Teamknoc First (?) mixtape..



From what I know this is the first solo project from Sirealz or Tib from Teamknoc. It's been hecka long since I've seen any mixtape from them, like one entire year or something, wow. I bumped it a couple of times, back and forth from uni, since he dropped it on his twitter and datpiff yesteday.. Couple of songs does sound a bit different from what I remember the Teamknoc mixtapes sounding like, but that's cool, because it isn't a Teamknoc mixtape.. Anyhow, here's the full mixtape, his own link. And my first listen stand outs:


Tracklisting above on the back cover.. Standouts:



Sirealz says it's okay to be different. This sounds like the sort of song Swedish self esteem focusing party-televison psyhologist Mia Törnblom would make if she had the will or talent to be a based rapper. Still very dope..

Mia Törnblom

Still very dope.. A couple of months ago I somehow managed to get a hold of some mp3's of a few Sirealz and Teamknoc songs that may or may not be recent. I'm pretty sure most of these songs aren't on any other release. Might be one or two from their 2008 mixtape with previously unreleased songs.. But some songs are definitely new, and not on this mixtape.. So I decided to share those songs... Since I didn't know what release they were on back when I downloaded them first I decided to call the group of songs Sirealz Juice 2009 and Teamknoc Juice 2009

Music.


1. Dumbass Clean Ft Blapstar (This is dope, should have def been on Shooting Stars if you ask me)
2. Tight Ass Jeans (dope!!)
3. Cupcake Music
4. Cool White People (right this is on Shooting Stars)
5. Please Don't Let Me Go (autotune)
6. Four 15's (not same version as the one on Shooting Stars)


1. Drums And Based
2. Im A Gigger
3. Im A Party
4. Day N Nite (Remix) Left N Right
5. Everyday Ft Gotti
6. Fat Guy In Little Coat
7. Cakey Booty Blapstar (Frosty Pooky Volume 1) (this is probaly old)

Fly Mar Is Awesome

Right, this is up on WYDU aswell, fuck it I'll post the same exact post here (sans this explanatory message).

I'm so fucking fresh I even get my nails done,
that's a manicure and I stay fresh for sure,
and when I get my feet done that is a pedicure
There's not many rappers that could make a hard ass song and choose to brag about getting their feet done. Just saying. This is really some hard shit for real. Eazy E/N.W.A. samples, a hard beat and powerful delivery. He is hot like a State Sandwhich with melted cheese - really check it:
I mostly listen to new music now days, more even than I have a realistic chance to listen to and give a fair view - which is a shame obviously. So whenever I feel like wanna hear something I know every word from, which still don't take to much space on the ipod, this is what listen to. That's why this EP will never not be on my ipod. It's just un-explainable I haven't posted this anywhere before.. It's not real rare or anything, just not as heard as it should be.
Fly Mar (awesome name right!!) was a potent Frisco rapper during first half of the nineties, doing music with hardcore Bay Area rap legends such as RBL Posse, Cougnut and Cellski... I have no clue what he does now. Most recent cd I have from him is his 15 years old, so if anyone is updated let me know, it's always good to know what your past favorite rappers to now days..
Anyhow, this is some great vintage Bay Area/West Coast hard rap, so just get with it!
1. I'm The Nigga
2. All Bitches Aint Shit
3. You're Gonna Wish You Never Dissed Me
4. Push Came To Shove
