The most evil beats in hip-hop were built from jazz and soul records, slowed and darkened until they sound haunted. 🕯️

Shook Ones Pt. II (1995). Havoc took the piano from Herbie Hancock`s "Jessica," repitched it, and laid Quincy Jones strings on top. Queensbridge dread in one loop.

Mind Playing Tricks on Me (1991). Scarface produced it on Isaac Hayes` "Hung Up on My Baby." Paranoia over a soul loop, and a No. 1 on the rap chart.

Da Graveyard (1995). Buckwild on the beat, Big L leading a D.I.T.C. posse cut with a pre-Reasonable Doubt Jay-Z.

The Alchemist didn`t start out making beats. At 14 he was a rapper, and his first album got shelved. 🎛️

Born Alan Maman on Oct 25, 1977, he rapped in the Whooliganz with Scott Caan. B-Real pulled them into Soul Assassins. Tommy Boy shelved the record.

That shelf built a producer. 📼 DJ Muggs taught him the sampler, Queensbridge adopted him, and "The Realest" for Mobb Deep set the template.

Alfredo, Boldy James, Haram, The Lab on GTA V. 🔥 Full story at the link in bio.

The first De La Soul album without Prince Paul is the one where J Dilla walks in the door. 💿

Stakes Is High (1996) is De La at their darkest and most direct, calling out the state of rap. The title track came from a young Detroit producer then going by Jay Dee, built on Ahmad Jamal`s "Swahililand."

Receipts:
▪️ Mos Def shows up early on "Big Brother Beat"
▪️ Common, still Common Sense, is on "The Bizness"
▪️ Peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard 200

The 30th Anniversary Edition is out now, remastered with a J Dilla remix featuring Mos Def and Truth Enola.

Three classics dropped the same Tuesday in October 1995. One of them hid an uncredited Big Pun verse. 30 years deep 🎙️

Aceyalone`s All Balls Don`t Bounce came out of the Good Life Cafe open mics. Jazzy beats, bars bending around the pocket.

Fat Joe`s Jealous One`s Envy stacked Diamond D, KRS-One and Raekwon. Track 11, "Watch Out," has a Bronx kid named Big Punisher on it 🔥

Onyx went dark on All We Got Iz Us. The "Last Dayz" beat later ran under the final battle in 8 Mile.

Which one`s still in your rotation? 👇 Link in bio.

Eazy-E promised to call them back. He never did. So Bone Thugs bought one-way bus tickets to LA and went to find him. 🚌

Months on the LA streets, calling around, getting nowhere. Then promoter Diego Blak got them into Eazy`s dressing room. November 2, 1993. Krayzie spit his "Flow Motion" verse and Eazy was sold. 🎤

Eazy wanted to call them Thugs-n-Harmony. They refused to drop "Bone." 💀

After Eazy passed, they remade "Crossroad" as "Tha Crossroads" for him. Eight straight weeks at No. 1 and a Grammy. 🏆

Best Ruthless signing ever? 👇

Four albums, four No. 1 debuts. On number four, DMX was producing his own records. 🐕

The Great Depression dropped October 23, 2001. 440K first week, straight to No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

🎛️ X produced "Sometimes" and "The Prayer IV" himself.

🔥 Black Key did "Who We Be." Just Blaze dropped one beat, "I`ma Bang," weeks after The Blueprint.

🙏 Critics called it softer. Fans heard a grown man carrying the same weight. Then Grand Champ made it five for five.

25 years later, the streak is the receipt. Link in bio.

Kid Cudi is playing Basquiat, and Basquiat was already hip-hop long before the art world crowned him. 👑

Cudi announced Oct 21 that he`ll write, direct and star in "Jean," filming in 2027.

The receipts:
Basquiat produced "Beat Bop" in 1983, a ten-minute battle between Rammellzee and a 15-year-old K-Rob. He pressed about 500 copies on his own Tartown label with his own cover art. Now it`s one of the most valuable rap records ever made.

In Blondie`s "Rapture" video, he`s the DJ. Grandmaster Flash didn`t show, so Jean stepped in.

Who else should play an 80s New York icon? Drop it below.
