Somethings from my mind, and unearthing past things.
I know it has been a great while since I posted any new b-sides for y’all, but I’ve been producing like 7 different projects locally in my hometown for artists I’m working with. It’s been consuming a great deal of my time, so my apologies in advance for the lack of b-sides!
But I did make a few new b-side purchases recently, and I’ll be posting them up soon! Honest.
Looooooooooove youuuuuuuuu.
Today’s B-side is from A Tribe Called Quest. I figure it’s been quite a minute since you heard anything from ATCQ on the blog here, and judging by the great reaction they’ve gotten from all your reblogs and likes, I figured it’s time to hit you with something from their “Beats, Rhymes & Life” era which was a nice b-side remix done up by none other than Tony, Toni, Tone! vocalist and producer extraordinare, Rafael Saadiq. So here it is for your ears today, ATCQ’s “Stressed Out” remix featuring Faith Evans and Rafael Saadiq. Enjoy!
D’Angelo Covers Soundgarden’s ‘Black Hole Sun:’ Listen
A demo track of D’Angelo’s hit the ‘net. The neo-soul singer covers Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun” on the rough cut, borrowing the rock band’s hook from their Alternative Songs No. 2 hit.
According to ?uestlove, D’Angelo’s cover of “Black Hole Sun” was recorded close to eight years ago and it will not be on his upcoming album.
Here’s a dope one for you b-siders out there! Very nice cover, I’d say. What do you think?

Today’s B-Side comes by way, once again, of Harlem’s finest, Lamont Coleman aka Big L. Many recall his debut single, “Put It On,” I still remember watching that video on a daily basis when I came home from school, and put on Rap City, and then I would catch it late when it was Friday and I still wasn’t of age yet where I could truly enjoy weekend evenings, so I would turn on “Yo! MTV Raps” and catch this. What most don’t know is unless you own the 12”, is that there’s a really nice remix done up by The L.G. Experience, so today for your ears, here’s that B-side for you from Big L. Big L REST IN PEACE!
Today’s B-side is someone I haven’t posted up in a minute, which is Bahamadia. While there were many a dope song on her debut “Kollage”, however if you own the 12”, yet again like I do, you’ll have realized that Guru of Gang Starr had the honor of doing an alternate mix for her song, “Total Wreck.” So today, here is that mix for your ears. Enjoy!
It’s still winter around these parts, and although its been an unseasonably warm one, I usually have my ritual of pulling out my “winter music”. However, while diggin’ on one of my excursions, I was blessed enough to come across this 12” here, which contained the “Buck ‘em Down” remix. However what I’m revealing to you today is a cut that never made the final version of “Enta Da Stage,” though it’s just as raw as the material found on that record. So here for your ears today, is Black Moon’s “Murder MC’s.” Enjoy!
Today’s b-side is for those who missed out on my last Lord Finesse posting. Today’s b-side should rectify that. Lord Finesse made a dope song called “You Know What I’m About,” but for some reason or another, it never saw the light of day on any of his albums, though it sounds like something that was on the cutting room floor for “Return of The Funky Man.” While there is a B-side to this jam which features one certain fellow affiliate from Harlem named Big L, I figured today I’d post up the original jam since its from the “Trespass” soundtrack, and then save that other tasty treat for another time. So enjoy!
Merry New Year! (c) Eddie Murphy, Trading Places. Now that we got the subtleties out of the way, I’m back again for the new year hitting you with as many B-sides than you can shake a stick at. So today for your ears, many recall Warren G’s wildly popular follow-up single to “Regulate,” which was “This DJ.” If you have the 12 like I do, then you know that there’s a dope B-side jam which lets out the DJ in “This DJ,” and definitely makes for a worthy b-side to the original tune. So for your ears today here’s the remix to “This DJ” also known as Dobie’s Rub, Part 1. Enjoy!
Today’s B-side comes by way of Lord Finesse. Many recall his album, “Retun of the Funky Man”, and his 12” for “Party Over Here” which was one of the singles from that album. What folks fail to realize is on the B-side which is a Showbiz remix of “Yes You May” which actually features the first time Big L graced the mic in history, prior to the release of his album, “Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous”. Its a remix done up by Showbiz of DITC, so here it is for your listening pleasure. Happy holidays everyone! See you in 2012 with more new B-sides to follow.
Hey y’all! Hope your weekend is as entertaining as mine, its been quite the busy time around my way with the holiday crunch and submitting new beats for projects I’m working on, but you know I can’t forget y’all. Never that. So here’s a nice B-side for y’all from the legendary Roots crew. As most of y’all know there were a shit-ton of different versions of their hit, “Proceed”, so what I’m giving you today is the Beatminerz remix to “Proceed” titled “Proceed V”. So enjoy!
