Here's a mixtape I've been working on of 7 original hip-hop beats. If you're a sample spotter you might recognize samples from Roxy Music, Foreigner, The Floaters, The O'Jays, Alessandro Alessondroni, Liquid Liquid, Gary Davis and his Professor, Giorgio Moroder, The Kinks, and a bunch of others. You might also recognize Jay-Z, MF Doom, Biggie, Lil' Wayne, Big L, Ghostface, and Busta Rhymes as they stopped by my house and lent me some of their best rhymes.

I've also included the instrumental version in case you like to rap. If anybody wants to get on these beats, let me know.

Gary Davis and His Professor
Gary Davis and His Professor - Last Night
I'm not sure who the female vocalist on this track is, but I'm totally in love with her. The bass-line is totally casual, letting the vocals take center stage. A particularly poignant snare tone accents and embellishes the vocal patterns. The organ is a nice touch and the reverbed Rhodes that's panned left adds a subtle cosmic feel to an otherwise straight-forward RnB number.
Gary Davis and His Proffesor - The Professor Here
BONUS: Mixable Edit
This is the funkiest number on the Gary Davis compilation. The drums are dirty as all hell, particularly the hi-hats and synth hand claps (?). The Professor, the guy rapping, sounds like a weasel or a fox, all nasal and villainous rasp. When the fuzzed out Casio is mimicking the bass-line is when the groove really hits me hardest.
I also posted a shorter mixable edit I made for any DJing. Are there DJs out there? I'm just realizing that people *might* actually read this blog.
