Omar Epps' Wolfpack

Omar Epps may have got his first start as "Q" in the movie Juice and some of you may best know him as Dr. Eric Foreman in the medical drama House , but before Hollywood started knocking Omar Epps was struggling Brooklyn rapper who was apart of the group Wolfpack along with his brother.

Wolfpack never dropped an album but they did release a single titled "Definition" in 1995 once Omar had a little money and some clout. I remember the video used to play like crazy on YO! but it was impossible to find the single in stores. For those who never got a chance to peep, now is your chance!

Catching Up

Every week here is spectacular, so your safest bet is to simply follow us closely under the assumption that we will grow and keep progressing. You are free to sleep if you want to, but I would advise against it. In any event, it's easy to fall behind, so take some time to appreciate what the T.R.O.Y. Movement puts out every week.

30 Light My Fire Covers

You're not going to find any Jim Morrison or Jose Feliciano on here as we're going a little more obscure with this compilation. However, you will find some Stevie, Tammi Lynn, and Al Green. Not to mention, plenty of samples and a drum break here and there if your into that sort of thing. Some versions are on some smooth ish, while some are psychedelic and others are just plain old funk bangers. The Johnny Harris version is pretty much an instrumental of the Shirley Bassey one, though there are differences they're both pretty ill.

The variety of styles and players on this comp make it enjoyable like you're really not listening to the same song 30 times.

Previews:

Minnie Riperton

Johnny Harris

Astrud Gilberto

Ananda Shankar

Big Daddy Kane Mixed by J.Period

In my opinion, this is one of the greatest mixtapes ever! Released in 2003, "The Best of Big Daddy Kane" was mixed by J.Period & hosted by the man himself, Big Daddy Kane. It featured classics like Ain't No Half Steppin', Warm It Up , Taste of Chocolate, etc. Then you have a few blends using classic beats alongside with the dope rhymes of Kane. You also get freestyles, rare remixes, guest appearances, Kane telling stories, etc... I suggest that you burn a copy for you car right now!

This mixtape was cut into 57 tracks so click here to see more information about the tracklist as it won't fit in this post.

20 Songs You'd Swear Were Done By Somebody Else

Here's a mix taken straight from the B.I.B.L.E. of Hip-Hop, "Ego Trip's Book of Rap List". I got it from the list "20 Songs You'd Swear Were Done By Somebody Else" which are tracks done by not-so famous(mostly underground) rappers who have a similar voice, flow, or vibe that resemble to those of more-famous rappers. It looks like some were trying to gain fame by imitating them, as in some tracks you can't even tell the difference! The tracks are still enjoyable to listen to so don't sleep!
