The X Label Releases MC Keithy E's Demo Tape
Thanks to this tweet from Werner von Wallenrod, I was made aware of this amazing new release from The X Label. The clothing brand has created a very nifty replica/(re-)release of Guru (a.k.a. MC Keithy E)'s demo tape, originally put out in 1986. The case and cassette itself are both decked out with scribblings from the late, great Keith Elam. I'm not sure about the liner notes though, because I'm too nervous to unleash this baby from its plastic wrapping. (I prefer my tapes sealed, anyways!) But I can assure you a lot of love and effort went into this project. This'll find a warm home in my tape collection, that's for sure. Delivery was super-quick (then again, I live in the same city it shipped out from!), and the proceeds go towards the trust fund of KC, Guru's son. Digital music may have killed the sales figures for physical formats, but I think we can make an exception here... Support!

King & Kendrick Lamar #SOTY2011
Shouts to producer Tommy Black, who laced Kendrick with this gorgeous instrumental. The sample is just as beautiful though, with the source for this smooth/trippy/beautiful beat being provided by "Hey", a track off neo soul group King's 2001 EP release entitled The Story. Listen to King's EP in its entirety below:
Freddie Gibbs - "Menace II Society" w/Dom Kennedy & Polyester
LRG Clothing presents the official music video for "Menace II Society" Freddie Gibbs w/ Dom Kennedy & Polyester, off of the classic Cold Day In Hell. Produced by Cardo. Video directed by The Infamous Green Streets. Download COLD DAY IN HELL here!
(David Whittaker &) Zombie Nation & Game #SOTY2011
I proudly present to you: Zombie Nation's "Kernkraft 400", a.k.a. the song you heard at basketball games but couldn't remember the name of 'til Cool & Dre sampled it for "Red Nation". At least that was my experience. I'm not a fan of techno by any stretch of the imagination, but this track just works for me...
...maybe it's because it sampled an old video game (start playing at 4:42)? Hmm...
Guster & Game #SOTY2011
Propelled by its catchy Chris Brown hook, "Pot of Gold" fits the criteria for a solid crossover hit, much thanks to this cheery beat provided by L.A.-based production duo The Futuristics. Could they be the next Stargate?
Gladys Knight & 2 Chainz #SOTY2011
Alabama producer M16 serves this Gladys Knight sample up proper, showing love to arguably the most underrated theme song in the James Bond series of films - License to Kill. Not familiar with M16? Get familiar! He's also responsible for lacing the three-headed dragon of Jeezy, Jay and 'Dre with "I Do".
t.A.T.u. & Lil Wayne #SOTY2011
Damn. Before 2011, the only t.A.T.u. song I knew was "All the Things She Said". Things done changed. I'm not too sure how resourceful the Russian pop duo's catalog might just turn out to be in terms of finding more sample-worthy content, but Swizz Beatz certainly scored a win with this right here (though he may not have been the first, according to some YouTube comments I've read). It's not enough that Swizz lifted and looped that perfect little piano melody, but the sparse vocals, sped-up in true hip hop fashion, really solidify this as one of my favorite samples of the year. I could care less what Wayne is saying on the track. The instrumental itself is simply entrancing. Why wasn't this on Tha Carter IV?

Funkadelic & Killer Mike #SOTY2011
People have often called Killer Mike the (new) Ice Cube of the South. To be sure, Mike Bigga's his own man. But that being said, it's only right that one of these days he'd find himself spitting his firebrand barbs over some Funkadelic. What a pleasant surprise it is in 2011 to hear emcees still rhyme-slinging over George Clinton-produced funk. #RIPOscarGrant #RIPTroyDavis
The Pointer Sisters & Jay Rock #SOTY2011
Not to be confused with Isaac Hayes' "Ellie's Love Theme" from the Shaft soundtrack (which has been sampled numerous times - most notably on the intro to Biggie's classic Mister Cee freestyle), this beautiful track off The Pointer Sisters' debut LP, Steppin', is nothing short of a gem. Big ups to J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League!
Sixtoo & Kendrick Lamar #SOTY2011
Speaking of "clocking double shifts", shouts to J. Cole for dropping an album this year and producing some great tracks for other emcees, including this gem from Kendrick Lamar's must-have Section.80. Cole... won?
Taku Iwasaki & Mac Miller #SOTY2011
This sample, lifted from the GetBackers original soundtrack, is beautiful. So smooth! I'm happy to see the video game-sampling trend continue on...

Ski Beatz - "Gentleman's Quarterly" (feat. Stalley)
Ski Beatz drops the first single off his upcoming album 24 Hour Karate Presents: Twilight. In stores February 14, 2012.
The True Reflection & Kool G Rap #SOTY2011
My sample compiling continues (I'm at 200+ tracks right now) with another production highlight of the year: Kool G Rap's "In Too Deep", laced by DJ Supa Dave - who knocked this one clean out the park. If you still haven't picked up a copy of Riches, Royalty & Respect, you're doing yourself a great disservice...

Bobbi Humphrey & Freddie Gibbs #SOTY2011
With 2011 in the can (© Combat Jack; ||), I'm doing what I always do 'round this time of year - compiling... compilations! Best of all I'm working on my Samples of the Year 2011 joint which is poised to be the biggest one yet. So big in fact I may need to distribute it in parts. I'm talking GBs of music here. Well, at least over 1 GB - unless you want me to keep it slim and minimal and to the point (i.e. under 1 GB). Lemme know (comments section). Either way this Bobbi Humphrey sample is definitely going in there. Shouts to Beatnick & K-Salaam. Oh, and get ready for some Best of 2011 compilations, too! #HHIRBlueNote2011 #SOTY2011

In Stores Today: December 6, 2011
December is reserved all across the blogosphere for recapping the year in music. I plan on doing the same, with my usual top 10 (or 20, whatever) lists, samples of the year and Blue Note compilations, as well as the final Tape Deck of the year, featuring my top 100+ songs. But let's not forget the albums dropping in this final month (I can't believe it's December already), namely today, with The Roots' eagerly-anticipated undun and a few other released I'm excited to hear. Here's what we've got today:
Amy Winehouse - Lioness: Hidden Treasures
The Black Keys - El Camino
Childish Gambino - Camp (Vinyl Release)
Keak Da Sneak - Keak Hendrix
Rashad & Confidence - Element of Surprise
Robin Thicke - Love After War
The Roots - undun
Amy Winehouse - Lioness: Hidden Treasures
The Black Keys - El Camino
Childish Gambino - Camp (Vinyl Release)
Keak Da Sneak - Keak Hendrix
Rashad & Confidence - Element of Surprise
