so kanye "drums? what drums?" west has about 8000 mixtapes out, some of them very good, some not so good. but this erm creative surfeit made me wonder today why there are no just blaze mixtapes. (or ARE THERE?) not only do i think he's a better producer than k.west (as opposed to creator of epochal statements or whatever), i would go so far as to say that there's never been a just blaze track i've heard that i didn't like. so where are the guys fucking tapes already?

alternately we can use this thread to come up with our own:

1. memphis bleek - "just blaze, free, and bleek"
2. young gunz - "friday night"

― jess, Tuesday, 20 July 2004 18:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't believe that he still doesn't have any mixes (actually I can, I just don't want to.) I think Minna was lamenting this TWO years ago on the West vs. Blaze thread!

3. Shorty (Put It On the Floor)-Busta and friends

― broken twig, Tuesday, 20 July 2004 18:58 (twenty-one years ago)

There are two things on Mixtapekings.com: this (?!?!) and this (which looks more promising.) Neither is exactly a collection of his greatest joints though.

(Everyone should try to check out Off Wit His Head from Pun's posthumous 'Yeaaaah Baby' cd if they aint already, it's my favourite Just Blaze beat before the big fuzzy synth noises and sped up samples; just a jaw droppingly tight amazing melodic Latin composition)

sorry bout the Pump It Up re-up, but I think we skipped #9 so I guess it evens out.

The recent Beastie Boys and, to a lesser extent, Lenny Kravitz (!) remixes were both good.

freeway - dont cross the line

― jake b. (cerybut), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 13:39 (twenty-one years ago)

I love "Just Bleek, Blaze & Free" to death but I possibly love "Everything's A Go" even more. Otherwise for me it's Budden's "Pump it Up" and "Fire" all the way.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Thursday, 22 July 2004 09:29 (twenty-one years ago)

my all time faves are prob "shorty" and "flipside". at least, right now.

― m. (mitchlnw), Thursday, 22 July 2004 10:03 (twenty-one years ago)

(well, aside from nick cannon)
Nick Cannon has one of the best singles of 2004, I am outraged.

― C0L1N B3CK3TT (Colin Beckett), Thursday, 22 July 2004 10:08 (twenty-one years ago)

"Everything's A Go" is a monster.

the checkitout remix is good, but it's jarring to be suddenly transported into a universe where the Beasties aren't wack. even if it's only for 4 minutes.

― Ade (Adrian Langston), Thursday, 22 July 2004 11:34 (twenty-one years ago)

"Yes" kills, and don't you think the reason that Just Blaze doesn't have mixtapes is bcuz he's not a rapper?

From your description might it be ODB?

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Saturday, 16 October 2004 14:27 (twenty-one years ago)

pitchfork in being otm shocker: new fabolous ft justblaze - "breathe" is quite good

fuck, he's really good isn't he? who makes better straight-ahead bangers nowadays?

― jake b. (cerybut), Saturday, 16 October 2004 15:23 (twenty-one years ago)

not ODB

three months pass...

the tracks he did for "documentary" ("church for thugs" and "no more fun and games") are back on that cocaine-y symphonic explosive soul shit, al la "u don't know" (the game follows suit with a "one brick/two brick" jay homage on "church"), and boy are they good.

― m. (mitchlnw), Monday, 24 January 2005 01:27 (twenty years ago)

i like the turning down the volume gimmick on "church"
