Rhettmatic – Millenium Countdown (Cassette) (1999) (FLAC + 320 kbps)

“This is an old cassette mixtape that I did in December 1999 for Manhattan Records (one of the best record stores/distributors in Japan at the time)…..it was a limited edition mix where you only get purchase it in Japan. They would get different Djs like Dj Spinna & Dj Premier to do an exclusive mix for the Japanese market; I was lucky enough to do one.

Everyone that did a mix for Manhattan Records had their own specific theme….so i had to think of one. Being that the year 2000 was around the corner, I decided to do a classic Hip Hop mix from 1990-1999 & also include some classic West Coast Independent Hip Hop (i actually sneaked in my 1st record that I ever produced on wax with Key-Kool feat Ras Kass & LMNO called ‘E=MC5’).

I was supposed to do a 2 part series but unfortunately I was able to do only one with the years 1990-1995 (the 2nd series was to be from 1996-1999 but Manhattan Records decided to stop making exclusive cassette mixtapes….hmmm, maybe i should do one still). I actually made this particular mix in the same vein as my ‘World Famous Beat Junkies Vol. 2’ mix…”
