R.I.P. Mr. Magic Tribute Mix

DJ Premier had to do it again, it’s terrible! Your favorite rapper got to be a fan of Mr. Magic, making the hip hop radio scene since 1984! Mentioned in well known songs by 2Pac, The Notorious B.I.G., Nas and in Preems produced song “Bang This” by Blaq Poet. For me he is well known by hosting the radio show “Wildstyle Pirate Radio” in the computer game GTA: Vice City. Big respect to Rockstar. The mix includes the beef between Mr. Magic and Public Enemy, excludes the beef with KRS-One with the song “Outta Here (Mr. Magic Diss Version)“, enjoy:

Btw, very nice intro tribute from DJ Premier with a unique Preem beat!

R.I.P. Mr. Magic

Message from DJ Premier:

I want to send out the utmost respect and condolences to the memory of John Rivas — aka Mr. Magic.

He passed away this morning of a heart attack.

True hip hop heads know that his history is so long due to him being the first rap mixshow to ever be on commercial radio on New York’s WBLS (107.5) with Marley Marl and Fly Ty in 1982-1984. Then went on to to WHBI in October 1984 and then back to WBLS in 1985 and WDAS in Philly. Simultaneously he paved the way for all radio stations that ever did mixshows and also sparked the career of Boogie Down Productions due to the ids he showed when they came to shop their demo to him and was turned away which then sparked “South Bronx” and “The Bridge Is Over”. He was known for his direct and sarcastic attitude on the air and every artist wanted his approval when it came to breaking new records. He even had songs dedicated to him by the legendary Whodini (”Mr. Magic’s Wand”) which was surprisingly produced by one of my favorite artists, Thomas Dolby.

Shouts out to Marley Marl & Fly Ty for the correct information on this. Rest in Peace Mr. Magic. -DJ Premier

Every Saturday, Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl. –The Notorious B.I.G.

R.I.P. Grandmaster Roc Raida Tribute Mix

As we all know about Roc Raida‘s tragic passing last week, I could only do a tribute on my blog to honor him as a fan. Last night DJ Premier did his part. As a friend and as a pioneer. Of course I couldn’t let the people in the dark by not premiering it, so here we have another exclusive on the internet. Premo did his thing and remember this is for free, do not try to bootleg it for cash. I still got the MJ Tribute in the back of my head. Have fun and salute Grandmaster Roc Raida with DJ Premier and Panchi in the next hour, hip hop is life:

DJ Premier – R.I.P. Grandmaster Roc Raida Tribute Mix

Ooooo man, THIS IS DOPE!!! The first Roc Raida produced song is too good.
