Tokyo F.A.T
Get it while it’s hot: Frumix 2008 (don’t shuffle, there’s an ordering here).
I’ve been working on this one for a while. Not because it’s so great, but because with my own convention of only including music that is new to me since the previous mix, it can be hard to get to a full 10 or 15 songs.
Don’t hate cuz Snoop snuck on or cuz KRS is even preachier in his old age; the Kanye track you’ve never heard before absurd Ghotsface flow-fest make it worth dropping before the year is out. Props to Evan and Bennet for the Knife and J. Valentine tracks that I never would have heard otherwise.
If that’s not enough, there’s also a new personal best of Redman mix (again, no shuffling).
If you’re a fan of FunkDoc then there’s not much new there. Otherwise, you’ve been sleeping, so wake up!
PS if you don’t already have them, grab Frumix 2003, 2004, and 2006 while you’re at it.
PPS Credit where it’s due: among the extremely useful and free software packages I used to make these mixes are: Audacity, MP3Tag, and Winamp.
PPPS UPDATE: Audacity/LAME actually wrote out the MP3 frame headers and length tag to be all messed up, so the first version of the new Frumix 2008 would have given you issues in most MP3 players. That’s been all fixed now using a fix I found on the web.
