Mixtape: Sign of the Times

411: This mixtape has absolutely nothing to do with Prince. The streets are getting so crazy right now, who knows what's going to happen next? A certain DJ we all know has opted to drop a mixtape and not put his name on the CD cover. What's up? Well, since the DJ Drama and Cannon arrests, people making mixtapes are still a little leery. In the words of our beloved, deceased Aaliyah, we need a resolution — in the worst way. When a DJ can't put his name on a mixtape, you know there's a serious problem. In any event, at least said DJ is putting out a mixtape, since a lot of the big dogs are still falling back. It's a great time for the little guy to step up and try to establish himself or herself as a viable mixtape DJ for 2007.

Joints To Check For:


"Dead the Funeral" by Cam'ron. This is really one of Killa's most focused records we've heard in a while. The Harlem swag is still omnipresent, dark beats with a slight rock and roll edge, and Cam is going in with the punch lines: "Some bitched, some snitched, some owed us dough/ Piss on your tombstone, write on it, 'Told you so.' "


("What Makes Me Me"): by Papoose. Pap keeps it short and sweet as he rides a soul track that has plenty of movement. Pap doesn't dumb down his lyrics, but he doesn't go extra hard with punch lines and metaphors either, so nobody should get lost here — especially some of y'all who don't like to think when you hear rap.


"Head Strong" by Tony Yayo (featuring Snoop from HBO's "The Wire" and Mazaradi Fox). Officially this song is called "It's a Stick Up" and was produced by Ty Fyffe. Of course, Yayo starts the record off in full-on mode, saying F-you to his former parole officer. Apparently he's done with parole. But the surprise here is that everybody's favorite homicidal television villainess, Felicia "Snoop" Pearson, is a guest star. Disappointingly, we don't get a full verse. She teases us with a couple of bars: "I'm from B-More, n---a/ Sling raw, n---a/ My .44 will knock down your front door, n---a/ I'm really living this, this ain't HBO n---a."
