Too Much Posse

Back in the day I used to bust out all these random mixes just for the hell of it, mostly for the purpose of listening to a set of songs while I’m walking around Manhattan or driving between here and there. That’s how the first Love Break mix came about, which I was persuaded to release as actual product because of the tremendous response to it. However for the most part these joints were just on some headphone shit for me, and after a while I usually totally forget that these weird mixes even existed. And then I totally remember that I did these mixes cause I’ll be in a place like Seattle and someone will be like “Yo remember this random posse cut” and I’ll be like “Oh yeah cause I once did a mix that’s over 2 and a half hours of some of my favorite posse cuts.” Mad conceptual, son.

So yeah, I am totally rediscovering all these old mixes I made back in the day so I am gonna start to release them as I can. Here’s one that I like a lot, all classic rap posse cuts. Back in the day there was always the posse cut on the album, and it was frequently my favorite song on the record, with every emcee trying to outdo the other dudes. They should bring back posse cuts. And the DJ track too – that would be hella tite.

PS: RIP to Chris Lighty (featured on Black Sheep’s “Pass The 40”)
