Live From Brooklyn by DJ Riz is pretty awesome

Can anybody recommend any good mixtapes/compilations of late-'90s(ish) Southern rap? I'm realizing this is a little bit of a blind spot for me; I have literally dozens of mixtapes compiling the East Coast/West Coast rap of the era, but hardly any covering the south.

Low Budget - Crunk in Yo System from '06 is essential. First time I heard 'Still Tippin' and Pastor Troy's 'F.I.L.A.'

This looks perfect; hunting it down, thanks!

Glad to point you in the right direction, Evan. Let me know if you come across anything else in that vein.

I understand it sounds like a silly request, and that the Internet is bloated with '00s Southern rap mixes. But I honestly haven't had much luck finding mid/late '90s, pre-Internet Southern rap mixes. I feel like the region's output from that era hasn't been canonized as completely as East and West Coast rap. Like, I could go on Only Built 4 zShare links and download dozens of classic rap mixes, but they hardly touch on a lot of what was going on in the South. Am I missing an obvious archive for this stuff?

there was a blogspot blog a few years back where i picked up a bunch of stuff in this vein but hell if i remember it now

Thanks! Those look amazing. Some of those download links were dead, but the pages led me to find these links, which look really good:

I really appreciate it; I'm going to enjoy these.
