DJ J-Love is well known for his popular classic mixtapes series. He picks out many different hip-hop artists and groups, and does fantastic mixtapes that are sort of a mix of best-of their catalogs mixed with some hard to find gems and some new exclusives. He has done them on Big Pun, Big L, Kool G Rap, A Tribe Called Quest, Rakim, Nice And Smooth, Large Professor, Public Enemy, and more.
His newest one hits home with me for sure. This one is one of the most groundbreaking hip-hop groups of all time, Cypress Hill. The mixtape is titled "Legends Vol.19-Cypress Hill". This was a great one to do, as I have never really seen a Cypress Hill mixtape and they brought alot to the game. Their self-titled debut and their classic follow-up "Black Sunday" were both albums that in my high school days we played to death, over and over, while sitting in smoky rooms. This mixtape features all the classics: "How I Could Just Kill A Man", "Cock The Hammer", "Illusions", "Hits From The Bong", "I Wanna Get High", "Hand On The Pump", "Insane In The Brain", and more. It also features an unreleased track "Caliente" and a demo track, as well as a few hard to find joints from the weedmasters themselves. Definitely a solid mixtape for the collection.
