Two reasons why that new Pete Rock instrumental album is actually notable

Pete Rock - Street Dreams (Instrumental)
(From the vaults; 1996/Return Of The SP1200M album; 2019)



1. It includes the instrumental of Pete Rock's unofficial remix of Nas & R. Kelly's Street Dreams remix. The nonce's hook sounded like a tomtit-on-a-round-of-beef over Pete's beat so Street Dreams works better as an instrumental. Might work even better still with AZ visualin' some sage Schweppervesence street ghetto essence over it, mind.

Pete Rock - Food 4 Thought (Instrumental)
(From the vaults; 199?/Return Of The SP1200M album; 2019)



2. It also includes this track which is just beggin' for someone to bless it. Pete and Max B already have chemistry together so Pete should slide Food 4 Thought to the side until Max gets outta the slammer. Biggavelz could transform this one into some transcendental waviness by reflecting on his years wasted in prison, and it'd keep his post-prison music grounded before he inevitably ends up doing generic Auto-Tune shit featuring A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie.

  1. French is trying to get Kim Kardashian to help free Max. What a time to be alive.

  2. Need that stick to ya guns remix instrumental.

    Was he just throwing these out on the radio randomly? I only ever heard them where they sounded like rips from his show

  3. Jesus the prospect of autotune biggavellz is depressing

  4. Yeah I think Pete just made them to play on Future Flavas. Marley used to do that too.

  5. Speaking of beat tapes, Ski Beatz did one in like 2014 that I can’t find now but I was so upset that none of those beats went to Curren$y for Pilot Talk 3

  6. Pete & Marley need to release all those Future Flavas remixes in some format (preferably not limited edition vinylz and definitely not on 7")

  7. Also definitely NOT with limited edition vinyl toy figures of Pete & Marley.

    Is there any Rap fan worse than the limited edition toy collecting wanker?

  10. I might try and find an AZ acapella for that beat. Someone's bound to do a blend tape with the whole album soon anyway

  11. Just make sure you ditch the R Kelly hook. Shit was more ill-fitting than an Our Legacy sweatshirt.

  12. Speaking of AZ, new verse https://youtube.com/watch?v=xaYb-opM93g

  13. LoLL at the max b a boogie comment so depressingly accurate

  14. I heard that.

    Would have been a cool song without the corny hook (and the Erick Sermon hook. Never been into him as a solo rapper, tbh.)

  15. You know there's gonna be a Max B & Drake song, and Max doing triplets and "SKRRT SKRRT" ad libs on a song with someone from Migos.

  16. A Boogie is the Dana Dane to Speaker Knockerz’ Slick Rick.

  17. "Food 4 Thought" is smoooth, but Scientifik had a classic over pretty much the same sample with "Jungles of Da East." Would still love to hear Max B on it tho. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=25&v=P_1AD3mEMPY

  18. Comparing Dana Dane to A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie does Dana a great disservice.

    Cinderfella is a legit classic.

  19. Been meaning to do an edit of that Sermon track. His rapping sounds proper awkward and unfortunately he takes up half the track with SP and AZ getting the other half between them.

  20. French is obv maxs dana dane anyways since he was his sidekick, he never went as far as to/didnt have the ability to do an impression of him though which is prob for the best, i dont wanna know what his muttley laugh would sound like.

  21. Sen City aka Facsimile B.

    Cloud Surfin' was a jam, though. Sen's equivalent of Cinderfella if you will.
