That's just the first/only one i found on youtube...i love flux and 12th planet, just think its gay that they would collab with snoop dogg lol.

I reckon snoop dogg is alright now. He'll pave the way for the merge of hip hop and dubstep. I reckon it's only around the corner. They did it with guetta in the doof world (can't call it electro anymore lol) and now they'll do it with guys in the dub world

just to clarify the release (now that ive looked into it), its actually a free mixtape.

snoops been doing the kanye good friday thing and giving away free tracks every couple of weeks. and this weeks one was a mixtape.

and for those that dont know, mixtapes in the hip hop world is usually a dj/ producer who will chuck on some instrumentals, or their own beats, or even extend the breaks old school style; and the rapper goes in the booth to spit freestyles or writtens.

some mixtapes are done in one take. some mixtapes are done track by track and then mixed again by the dj, while laying over or inserting of skits/ spoken word, so as to seem like one long session. some mixtapes are just track by track. and most mixtapes will have some straight out unreleased tracks. people like cudi, wale, donnis, ofwgkta, even fitty gain their rep in the mixtape biz before getting released.

its kind of like soundcloud for edm producers. where you put up some edits, bootlegs, remixes and some originals.

anyways so this is a mixtape by snoop with dj mistajam (from bbc1 in UK) plus hip hop producer and long time snoop collabo battlecat. so im assuming what has happened is mistajam and/ or battlecat have done all the mixing (or mashing up looking from the track list) and snoop will spit some verses over the resulting instrumentals.

havent heard it yet, but its not snoop going out and collaboing with dubstep producers (well not in the most part). and i read some are just straight mashups of dubstep tracks and hip hop acapellas.

the flux pavilion one is with death row OG rapper rbx.

oh and while i mentioned people who have come up in the biz by doing mixtapes, you may wonder but snoop isnt coming up!

a lot of artists who already release use the mixtapes to keep buzz on the street; release tracks their record label would never let them do; and to do things the old school way. i.e. a dj and a mc where other peoples tracks are your instruments BUT without having to worry about clearing samples. the legal wrangle in the 80's meant dj's became restricted in the samples they could use (hence why the 808 producers started to come into prominence).

by using mixtapes, the dj/ producers could do whatever they like in the beat production. some peoples mixtapes are better than full releases, even when its just a straight spitting over someone else's instrumental.

kid cudi's 10 deep mixtape "A kid named cudi" is one of the best albums ever made.

after all the rant, ive listened to like five tracks. aside from bad quality sound (not sure if youtube uploader or could be the mixtape as a lot of mixtapes suffer as they are 128), all five sounded like shit. and i am a snoop fan.

the dogg pound track was almost do-able but nah.

the track posted by jonny b kills it.

plus there is already so much good good uk grime or uk bass tracks that have madd spitters on the verse. just look up dj zinc.
