Bizarre - I wasn't that keen on any of the other stuff listed on that resume, but the bobby valentino track seems like a major step forward. Like David said, major Timbaland influence going on. Haven't decided on Sex In The Kitchen yet - I figure it's basically great and I realise the lyrics are...

Major thanks to David for that Bobby Valentino track - I'm guessing that's Timbaland on the beat, but either way it's one of the best things I've heard this year. Just when I was losing any faith in Timbaland as well...

I'm guessing the Amerie tune everyone's alluding to is One Thing - huge drums (produced by Rich Harrison of Crazy In Love fame), adequate vocals. Loved it at first but got kind of boring after a while - would really benefit from a better singer. Good to see that Mario tune get mentioned in here...

I was pretty sure that was Salaam Remi doing a decent Primo impression although I haven't seen a proper credit for that tune yet.

Living legend status but shame he's so quiet these days. His quality control seems to have dipped a bit as well - The Ownerz stands as a disappointment of Human After All proportions. Here's 10 of his beats that continue to amaze me; Gangstarr - What I'm Here For Kool G Rap - First Nigga (DJ...

The new Manitoba/Caribou lp has to be one of the biggest disappointments in a while - utterly underwhelming, especially compared to how exciting Up In Flames felt. Too much clutching at 'proper' song structures and listless english psychedelia. New Prefuse 73 seems to be either an exercise in...

Horrible 'can't be arsed', contractually obliged rush job

Excellent to see my old uni still trying very hard indeed. I have no idea what sort of crowd this is gonna be but should be a laugh anyway

Is this where that Buff Girls tune is from (think the guys called Brazen)? I've found myself playing that more & more

Cheers for putting this up - great mix. You play out in london at all? Been looking for a decent night with this sort of mp for a while

Still trying to like Streets Disciple and failing miserably - not really sure why everyone's got so excited about this. I'm finally resigned to Nas being unable to make decent albums. Also been listening to the new manitoba/caribou album this morning - pretty disappointed so far especially as Up...

Hmm - Galang's a good pop song, easily one of the best from this year but the mixtape struck me as a let down and pretty dull - too many pointless bootlegs (tho admittedly the big pimpin' ones pretty cool). I'm amazed that people can still be bothered to get indignant about someones marketting...

Yeah he's canadian - anyone know what happened about the court case about this tune? Some guy on the startrak boards claimed they (the neptunes) stole the beat from him pretty much wholesale. Par for the course claim if you're a successful producer I know, but this one seemed pretty convincing -...

Anyone heard that DJ Ayres Hip House mix that Turntablelab are selling? I'm kind of intrigued by it but wary... Speaking of them, they often seem to have a few hip house rmx white labels kicking around -I'd check some of them out . I know there was a bit of a buzz about Yam Who and his remixes -...

The version of Badunkadunk (Twista) on the Kanye West I'm Good mix - guess the sample was a bit too big to clear, but it pisses on the lp version. Not sure what the title is but there's a J Love & Ghostface mixtape with (what I assume is) the J Love remix of Bring The Ruckus - reworks the beat...

CDDB is terrifying - I've had it tag bootlegs and 12" rips before. Guess it's a very very big database

I can kind of empaphise with you on that score - much as I appreciate the blog approach to music criticism, it can all get a bit too shrill now and then. Easy as it is to critique OMM, I can't escape the feeling that there's a dearth of half-decent music magazines out there at the moment- anyone...

Cool - I'll have to try and find that on slsk. In fact I think the first place I heard her was the Keep It Movin' mp3 up on yr blog David, so thanks for that! To whoever mentioned Shake That Shit, I couldn't agree more- guess it's not really R&B but Timbaland really excelled himself with that...

I agree - Timbaland seems to have pulled himself out of that semi-slump from a while back. That Kiley Dean mp3 that was going around (name escapes me) was great as well. BTW has anyone else heard those Timbaland sample collages going around? Didn't realise the extent to which he...
