so please post in this thread if you wanna participate and say which beat you want to use, i'ma say one mix per blender for now, 10 people shouldn't be too hard to get together.

only rules: ON-BEAT and REMIX the lyrics, doesn't matter in which way, it's better to have different styles on it anyways, but at least switch up couplets.

would be REALLY dope if we'd get this done before the end of the year, so i'ma say deadline December the 30th for now.

NOTE: when your mix is done, please don't release it on the forums, just send me a link via PM and i'll release them once the whole thing is done, gives them a feel of exlusiveness.

Sorry i can't provide you with actual CD's, all i can do is rename the tracks properly (track number etc.) and put em up in a .rar-file.

the whole tape is done and is really dope. download it here:

password please hack patients verification

I'll have Represent

what i meant was. ..... it is asking me for a password....

baal by any chance do you have it?

try wedrall that was the gza one.yea it is wedrall .password confirmed

ok cool

sorry i forgot to add the password, what Toxic said is correct

OK, that link is actually not the "Illstrumental" versions. Apparently it's live recreations of the beats from Illmatic. They sound good, but they're not the same as the originals. As far as I know, the "Illstrumentals" only includes Life's a Bitch, The World is Yours, Halftime, Memory Lane and One Love.

You can get the Illstrumental versions of those songs here.

And I'll take "The World Is Yours".

^i dunno if they are the originals or not but i have the whole thing and they sound good... i just said "illstrumentals" cause it came to my mind, didn't know there actually were illmatic instrumentals that go by that name lol.

and i'll add your name to the first post

I'll give Memory Lane a shot!

^cool, i added your name

when your mix is done, please don't release it on the forums, just send me a link via PM and i'll release them once the whole thing is done, gives them a feel of exlusiveness.

^ good idea, when the last mixtape was done i already heard all the tunes loads so i wasn't excited. This will be a good New Years treat.

Been playin round with my beat and found the perfect BPM to match the lyrics. My beat lasts 4 mins and i'm gonna try and use it all. The instrumentals a bit shitty though.

it actually was Prolix' idea. he already sent my his mix by the way and it's a BEAST.

^ I can imagine, can't wait now

I'll jump on Halftime.

^cool man i added you

can i do one love?

^fa sho, i was hoping for you to drop a mix

2 more mixes, come on we need 2 more blenders, this shit's gonna be ill

and everybody please try to send me your mixes as fast as possible (via PM, don't post em) i really want to release this before the end of the year.

Prolix' mix is already done and i got mine almost finished as well.

i'ma wait until i've chopped all five vocals into couplets. But will defo be done by New Year though

it might take me a few days, i have to finish/upload/post some of my other stuff first =P

is there anywhere i can dl the one love instrumental on its own?

Yes, there is:

http://www.zshare.net/audio/5615415f716ae1/

yeah well there's more than two weeks left, you don't have to apologize for not upping something immediately, i didn't mean it like that lol. please DO take your time, i don't want some half-assed shit up there. my intention was rather that people don't go like "well... i'll might do a mix in a month or so...", i really want this to be done in time.

I just hope two more people jump on this so we got one mix each, i wonder if Dj KI, ES, Ferdowsi etc. don't want to participate or just haven't seen it yet.

btw, if KI reads this, please delete some of your PMs, i tried to PM you but it says your in-box is full.

i got my mix done by now btw

anybody got a different version of "one time for your mind"

the one i downloaded sounds different, way different

Just never got into illmatic like it seemed the rest of the world did man. Thats the only reason I havent volunteered my services on this project.

If you need someone to fill a gap just ask me and ill gladly blend somethin nice

weird, that's the only beat not included in my Illmatic instrumentals album... never even noticed that lol

i hope somebody has the correct beat though

I'm halfway done with my mix. I'm using the original beat, though. Not the recreation.

Got some hot lines on there, some with a sick ass flow! Even I'm surprised at some of these lines!

My mix is done, here are the lyrics:

Poet Laureate Infinity Mix Lyrics:
Title: “Infinity Lane (Spittin’ In Da Park)”
Mixer: XPreNN


*Beat gets raped*

(Nas)

I look up in the sky to see if God is judging, then suddenly
Satellites watch me, they think they got me
Sound pours out of the ground across the land
Hip-Hop will continue to expand
Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth, B.I.B.L.E.
Can’t explain everything inside it, but I’m trying
The diaphragm, the thymus,
Activate the latent powers that reside inside us with 13 chakras
Much easier said than done, if you’re trying it
I don’t think you know the quantum biology environment
My austere designs are so ahead of time
Even when you press rewind, you’re still left behind
Salute, I would like to propose this next toast
To my thoughts, my pain, my joy, I’ve passed them on through songs
Respond to me and my heart and my mind will answer any and all calls
Rap, for me, reduces the stress dramatically
This is not fantasy
Emotion manifests Thought, Thought manifests Words,
Actions and Reality, that’s how it has to be

*Chorus*

Father Author Poor Pauper, breathes to draw Prana
In a yoga pose tryna get close to your mama
Give you a quadrillion dollars to be a partner
If you’re still worshipping money, I think you are Godless
Do you believe in fate? Then how do you know?
When you finally get there, where will you go?
Unsatisfied, I decide to redefine rhyme
Brewing hot tea with honey and lime
The only time they notice the difference is when we die
But poetry continues outside the timeline
The truth is well within my sphere of pursuit
I can’t rest until I accomplish what I was sent to do
Pulsating lights and sounds surround spirits
Time keep on slipping, the Ripper keeps ripping
Bio Oral Beats, layered underneath lyrics
Whenever I spit it, concentrate, you can hear it
You'll need a first aid kit for the verses I spit
I am cautiously meticulous but artfully brisk
A change is beginning, every molecule spinning
Lyrics imitate art, art imitates lyrics
Every letter is measured in such a way you will remember
With flawless error, like that forever
You feel like you’re an inch from being dead but you’re alive instead
Then spit a rap that you can’t forget!
Talked about it purposefully, even though it’s hurting me
’Cause Emotion manifests Thought, Thought manifests Words,
Actions and Reality, that’s how it has to be

*chorus*

Can-I-Bus, A.K.A. The Spitzberg Beast (x3)

*beat fades out*



Vocals by Canibus
Beat by DJ Premier; originally used by Nas on the track “Memory Lane (Sittin’ In Da Park)”

really dope mix XPreNN

all tracks are taken now. if somebody still wants to take part, just post here, i'm sure we can work something out.

Ill take care of lifes a bitch..

Audio?

^ we not postin til the release date

all tracks chosen now.

i'm really impressed by CC, a lot of cats signed up to this pretty fast and some even have their mixes done already and all mixes i've heard so far are really nice.

don't worry about Ferdowsi not meeting the on-beat criteria, he's gonna send me the .acd file once he's done and i'll try and make it as on-beat as possible.

please remember that your mixes should be sent to me in completely finished form on December 30th the latest so i can put the whole thing in a .rar-file and up it by 12/31/2007.

DECEMBER THIRTY-ONE TWENTY SEVEN IS THE CODE!

oh yeah, and KG is right, please don't post your mixes on the forums, just send me a PM with the link and the whole thing will be released once i've recieved all mixes and found the time to up them.

Mixtape's looking good! Don't let this fail, mixers!

The intro is completed, I'll send it to you tomorrow, I believe you will finding quite fitting. The chopped up lyrics KG has saved eons of time for me, and hopefully many others.

Thank you again, this mix mix mix tape is going to be very interesting to listen to, I can't wait to hear it once it is completed.

PEACE,

Ferdowsi

^that intro is perfect man, no need to change anything, much propz

please try to get your mixes done soon (those that haven't sent it already).

Good idea to keep the tracks under wraps til theyre all together as whole.

The lyrics to my contribution are as follow:

Im Hooked On Hip Hop, I Cant Live Without It/
You Can Mix This Song A Thousand Ways I Dont Doubt It/

Im Hooked On Hip Hop, I Cant Live Without It/
You Can Mix This Song A Thousand Ways I Dont Doubt It/

(Sound Of Phone Being Dialled)

Take A Closer Look, Professor Speech Compressor/
Screens Calls From Hip Hop, Hova & Nas/

(Phone Rings) "Jigga Jayz" (Jayz's Voice)
(Phone Rings) "This Is Nas" (Nas's Voice)

Lets Talk About The Art Of Rhyming

You Said The Best Shouldnt Ask For Respect/
Is That Correct, "Yes", You Cant Be Serious/

I Said "Nobody Benefits, Everyone Perishes"/
The More Pretentious The More Apprehensive The Sentence/

Poets Should Be Rappers, Rapper Should Be Lyricists/
I Tell Them This, They Say "Here, Its Time For Your Medicine"/

At Least From My Interconnected Introspective Perspective/
The Current Industry Model Collapse Imminent/

Imagine Being Fined Over A Rhyme, For Stepping Over The Line/
When I Inspired Hova & Nas/

Inspired By God, Inspired By The Suffering/
Was It Done By A Prophet, It Musta Been, Who Was It Then/

Saint Germain Is Real, Germaine Is A Sage For Real/
Saint Germain Is Real, Germaine Is A Sage For Real/

Saint Germain Is Real, Germaine Is A Sage For Real/
Chew Emcees Like Im Eating A Meal/

Fake Ni**az Tryna Keep It Pseudo Real/
Are Just Cogs In The Wheel, You Will Taste My Steel/

I Listened To 44 4's 22 Times I Gave You Power/
God Stop My Heart If Im Lying/

I Walk Through The Valley Of Humiliation/
Hip Hop Started Hating I Tried To Save 'Em, They Wasnt Patient/

Dig A Hole For The Collateral Carnage Battle The Hardest/
Take Out Hip Hops Trash & Garbage/

Mentally Top Heavy, Not Many Can Rock With Me/
Hip Hop Could Not Bench Me, So They Plot To Suspend Me/

Other MC's Be Nervous Or Somethin' Rhymes In Abundance/
Hip Hop Justice, Rappers Are Captured & Punished/

Saint Germain Is Real, Germaine Is A Sage For Real/
Saint Germain Is Real, Germaine Is A Sage For Real/
Saint Germain Is Real, Germaine Is A Sage For Real/
Sigil Is A Double Headed Eagle Seal/

Saint Germain Is Real, Germaine Is A Sage For Real/
Saint Germain Is Real, Germaine Is A Sage For Real/
Saint Germain Is Real, Germaine Is A Sage For Real/
We Work We Hurt We Search We Feel/

I Looked Into LL's Eyes, We Both Cried/
Meteors Immediately Fell From The Sky/

Ive Apologised But I Cant Change Who I Am/
Try To Change The Future, Cant Budge The Past/

I Hold Hip Hop Responsible/
Every Magazine Writer That Wrote Bullshit In His Article/

The Illest MC To Put It All On The Line/
My Career Was Crucified But Im Still Alive/

To You It Shouldnt Sound Like Im Quitting 'Coz Im Not/
If I Am To Continue Its Up To Hip Hop/

Everybody Bow Your Heads, And Say This Prayer/
I Shed Tears I Loved Hip Hop All These years/

Brain Waves Reveal Normal Life Is Not Real/
Williams Was Real Ill, With A Feathered Quill/

Artfully Brisk, Ive Almost Perfected This/
A Lyricist River Fish, In His Home By The Cliffs/

I Heard Hip Hop Was Dead, Thats Not Fair/
Who I Spoke To, Go He There, Nasir, Yeah/

Saint Germain Is Real, Germaine Is A Sage For Real/
Saint Germain Is Real, Germaine Is A Sage For Real/
Saint Germain Is Real, Germaine Is A Sage For Real/
Sigil Is A Double Headed Eagle Seal/

Saint Germain Is Real, Germaine Is A Sage For Real/
Saint Germain Is Real, Germaine Is A Sage For Real/
Saint Germain Is Real, Germaine Is A Sage For Real/
We Work We Hurt We Search We Feel/

Seeming were posting Lyrics I should post mine.

Ferdowsi Ft. Canibus Intro - Genesis beat:

Intro

CC MIX MIX MIX TAPE

TAPE MIX MIX MIX CC

MIX MIX MIX CC TAPE

Canibus:

Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si-Do
These are the tones that will activate the ohm,
I tell them this, They say, "Here, it's time for your medicine",
Attach the - CC MIX TAPE - to your computer,
Poet Laureate is the future!!!,
Mixing Brothers - care if I make history, wanna be a part of INFINITY,

Ferdowsi:

Cyrus, Look at what your SUN GOD did to me,
The Geneva Protocol Advocates are so sloppy,
A human being is not anybodies property,
The power to control thoughts however remotely,
Preparing, Assessment and Planning things,
Through a term I'd like to call "Pulse Detonation Poetry",
In the rabbit hole with alice,
Can you hear it? Canibus Answer me!
Quoting my favorite Inventor, "I see excitement coming"
I raise my hand, lightening bolts stream from it,
I see the excitement coming, I see the excitement coming,

Canibus:

Where the fuck are you going?

Ferdowsi:

Where am I trying to go with this?
Only the chosen find a way out,
Everybody move out! Make sure to stay off the main route..............

Can't wait to hear all the blends in the new year.

By the way, Cyrus is reference to Cyrus The Great, who is said to have written the first human rights declaration. Also Cyrus comes from the word the sun, light, and he was Zoroastrian.

Peace,

Ferdowsi

YES.

Top Stuff man.
