This is technically a DJ Shamann release.

I've listened to a lot of mixtapes, I haven't heard any blend the songs togethor quite as smoothly as this. I think your referring to an industry standard from decades ago. Most modern mixtapes don't have even have a dj(??? could by lying about that), it's usually just the equivalent of a free EP, compiling various beats.

Just downloaded this puppy last night. Good stuff, though I like the second half of the album a lot more than the first half.

Maybe one decade ago?

I'm talking about mixtapes/albums from DJs like Babu and Dan the Automator. There were many ... and they all made the tracks seamless - that was the point.

Usually they featured a variety of rappers though.

Your probably right dude, i pretend to know way more about this genre then i actually do.

I don't even know who babu is

^^ Yeah, with one artist though. When you get a whole bunch of different artists on one album, it disrupts the continuity of it I think. And I was more speaking towards how short the tracks are. Because the tracks are so short, it makes the transitions between songs a lot more effective so that you more or less feel like you're listening to one long track in the end. Even if I don't particularly like a track (I don't really like West End Kids on this), I can easily make it through because of how nicely it flows together.

Loving this so far. Only guy on last.fm who has that particular file scribbled :thumbup:

A good DJ will make sure the continuity of their mix isn't disrupted no matter how many rappers they mix.

Sparky, you need to hear this:

Babu was a DJ for the Beat Junkies and Dilated Peoples.

And, just to help optimize K.O.'s search engine results, here's a small plug:
