Then why are there so many websites dedicated to mixtapes?

You can type "90s Hip Hop mix tapes" in google and get about 433,000 results in 0.46 seconds.

Clearly I'm not the only one searching for mid 90s Hip Hop mix tapes.

I still got some Ron G, Silva Surfa and other joints @ the crib

 

[its....JOHN B]

I think it's a good idea I just never had any of them, that tape in the op got a classic track list though

 

[playmaker88]

Fashion this shit into a spotify playlist

great idea

 

[5 Grand]

This mixtape is important because it contains the classic song Stop The Break by Raekwon, Killa Sin, KRS One, Notorious BIG and O.C. I've looked all over the internet, Youtube and discogs and no matter where you look or wherever you find it, Ron G is yelling "Its On part 2" over the song. Which leads me to believe that they recorded this song exclusively for this mixtape. Otherwise it would have popped up without Ron G yelling over it.

Its On (part 2) DJ Ron G


Recording with 2Pac the Day of Quad Studios Shooting

“B.I.G. was always coming to my house, and he would always tell me about 2Pac. That was his homie. He was like, ‘Yo, Pac’s letting me open up for him. Why don’t y’all come support me?’ And the club I think we went to was called the Country Club, on 86th Street between 2nd and 3rd. I really was down there to see B.I.G. perform, and I wound up meeting 2Pac. And I was like, ‘Man, ‘Brenda’s Got a Baby,’ and ‘Keep Ya Head Up,’ this kid is dope.’ I was a fat dude wishing I had tattoos, like, ‘Damn, I gotta get skinny.’ Pac was the man. I was fascinated with his image.

“Me and my mans ran up on him and were like, ‘Yo Pac, we’re true fans. Is there any way we can get you on a Ron G tape?’ And he was like, ‘Man, I heard of you through my nigga Biggie!’ At that time, he was from New York, but he was still running in Baltimore and L.A. and all that shit. But he was a fan of what I was doing, and what I was doing for other rappers.

“One day he called my manager like, ‘Yo, I’m in town. Where y’all niggas at?’ [My manager] gave him the address like, ‘Come up.’ Ten minutes later, he knocked on my door. He had four dudes with him—Stretch, and three other dudes I didn’t know. And he was like, ‘Make me a beat, man.’ After a while that was my thing.

“At the time, I was looking at TV, and I was seeing how 2Pac was going through so much drama with the cops, and having problems. And I was like, ‘I want a track with the ambulance going back and forth.’ And I was whispering like, ‘Yo, you got that?’ Like it was a drug sale, letting people know that I got that heat, which was 2Pac.

“And then he came on there like, ‘Follow if you feel me/I think niggas is trying to kill me/picturing pistols, spitting hollow points ‘til they drill me/Keeping it real, and even if I can conceal/My criminal thoughts, preoccupied with keepin’ steel/See niggas is false, sitting in court, turn snitches/They used to be real, now they petrified bitches/I’m trying to be strong, they sending armies out to bomb me/Listen to Ron, the only DJ that can calm me.’ After that, I was like, ‘Whooo!’ And that was the [verse that ended up on the] Big L joint [‘Deadly Combination’ from The Big Picture, which I also produced].

“After that, he was like, ‘Yo yo G, I’m out.’ And I was seeing him on the phone a little bit, but I wasn’t really paying attention because I was trying to mix the beat real quick so he could take it. And at two o’clock in the morning, I was looking at the news, and I seen that he was shot at Quad Studios. And I was [shaken] by that, like, ‘Damn, I hope he know I had nothing to do with that, because I love Pac and the Outlawz.’ It was a crazy time in my life.

“Then two weeks later, I ran into the Outlawz in Jersey, and they were like, ‘Yo, 2Pac know you ain’t got nothing to do with it. Pac sends his love.’ So I was like, ‘Okay,’ and I felt free from that. I wouldn’t hurt my nigga for nothing. I’m a true fan, and I’m as real as I can be, too. It’s a blessing. It made me a part of history, though, in my own unique way. I had police knocking on my door for like three weeks straight, like, ‘Do you know anything?’ I’m like, ‘Nah. I don’t know. I’m just making beats.’

“I put [the 2Pac freestyle] out maybe three weeks after [he got shot], because I was still kind of shook behind that. I was like, ‘Damn, I don’t want people feeling some type of way. Let me wait until I get a response.’ Then once the Outlawz said [everything was okay], I was like, ‘Aiight, cool.’ After that, I knew I was meant for more than just doing beats. I was meant to be a part of this hip-hop history. And that’s when I started saying, ‘Let me do creative things, more than just mix tapes.”

Clue tapes used to get passed around like crack i found him annoyin as fuck on the intros talking over songs but they were hittin. i remember this one not that i ever owned any joints but im sure i borrowed this/ heard it in its entirety

 

[5 Grand]

I'm starting to notice that the people who upload mix tapes on Youtube cut the last 10-15 minutes off the tape. It seems like they convert a 90 minute tape to a 80 minute CD so the last few songs get cut off.

There's websites where you can download side A in one file (45 minutes) and side b (45 minutes) in another file, but then you have to host it and I'm already hosting the mixtape in the O/P.

So if anybody wants to add on, just type in "DJ Clue mixtape" or "DJ S&S mixtape" or "Doo Wop mixtape" and find a website that has side a and side b as two separate files. Then put them up on Soundcloud.... or put it on Youtube.

 

[lordstanley]

On spotify they got a bunch of clue tapes I made my own playlist off of em

 

[5 Grand]

So I guess this is/was a thread flop

I used to live around the corner from Harlem Music Hut. I remember buying a Doggtime CD from there and bringing it out to California. I remember it vividly because my cousin said, "I didn't know they made mix tapes on CD"
