Chop Shop Podcast – Free Hip Hop Music

Stevie G presents The Chop Shop Podcast Vol.9

First of let me wish all you a Happy Christmas and a Good New Year. While i’m wishing folks well i’d like to thank all the dj’s who took the time to put a mix for the podcast, so to Justin O Donnell, Handsome Paddy, A2DF, DJ Half Dutch, Jimmy The Hideous Penguin, Colm Kenefick, Colz, Stevie G & Pasta Masta thanks for your time and effort, without which this podcast wouldn’t be possible. To Neil Corcoran, thanks for the reviews and i’ll look forward to reading some more next year. And i almost forgot to thank my good friend Oscar Foran for the artwork and the photoshop tips. Now getting back on topic, i’m proud to present The Chop Shop Podcast Vol. 9 mixed by none other thans Red Fm’s Stevie G! …………………………………………

“This was my first mix in awhile and I had a lot of tunes to get out
my system, probably too much really! I only got about half of them
on so I’ll have to do a part 2 soon-This mix here includes a pretty
good variety of stuff, from funk and hip-hop to reggae and rock.
Soul and jazz run through most of the tunes, which I’ve pretty much
banged together as if it were a live gig.
I could easily have kept it to a smooth and slick 95bpm
hip-hop for the whole thing, but that’s what I was doing ten or
twelve years ago and I wanna play much broader now. That said the
mix kicks off with largely a hip-hop vibe, before proceeding to
some breaks and funk, and eventually on to some rock and Motown
stuff, via reggae and ska. As I said, there are bits of jazz all
along the way, from the early hip-hop prototype Last Poets stuff,
to the heavily jazz influenced stuff from a few of my favourite
modern soul singers, Amy Winehouse and Jill Scott. The jazz funk of
a Marvin Gaye classic gives way to Jazzy Jeff’s pioneering blend of
some of the best 70’s stuff, with “Mister Magic” sitting nicely on
a remix of Jurassic 5’s first single. Cannonball Adderley’s mighty
“Walk Tall” is another jazz classic, as are the two Blue Mitchell
efforts here, both sampled by great hip-hop tracks.
I’m a big reggae and soul fan too, and there’s
smatterings of both, though time restrictions meant these sections
are a bit rushed. Two of the best ever DJ orientated tracks are on
here too, the aforementioned Jazzy Jeff cut-up accompanied by the
still outstanding Cut Chemist remix of DJ Shadow’s classic, a
massive track for me back in the day. From a similar era I’ve
included MC Lyte and Nas, plus a contribution from one of the most
under-rated hip-hop crews of them all, Digable Planets. Modern big
hitters such as Jay Z, Common and Kanye more than merit their
inclusion, while my love for Dilla is evident on about 4 tracks,
the incredible Pharoahe Monch helping out on a track from “The
Shining”
As a teenager who listened to the Velvet Underground non
stop, I’m delighted to include the massive “Rock n’Roll”, a very
big track for me growing up. Van Morrison’s Them, Aretha Franklin,
The Stones, Booker T and Jackie Wilson are all there too, plus
Maceo & the Macks, James Brown and the Four Tops! Apologies if some
bits are a bit rushed, I would love to play the tracks in full, but
it is the Chop Shop after all. Happy Christmas!” – Stevie G
