This is the 4th mixtape ever released by A.C. The Program Director, in the early 2000's ...
After releasing #1-thru-#3, lots of people who are what I call 'the game players' were hating, hiding and putting shade on
HipHipPhilosophy.com and AC The PD ... I was ready to turn up the heat, speak with my hands to release lots of negative energy I got from all of the "human shade trees" in Los Angeles ... This mix is well-known for the live phone conversation between AC The PD and Jay Z from live on The Wake Up Show circa 1998 ...
1. A.C. The Program Director vs. Jigga - Live On-The-Air (Wake Intro Intro II)
"Just answer the damn question"...
2. Roxanne Shante & Biz Markie - The Def Fresh Crew ('85)
The song and the last (#22) are my dedications to the beatbox... One of the most memorable Hiphop recordings of all-time... This is who 'you know who' was biting... This is the original, not the wack re-recording...
3. M.A.X. (Clutch Shooters) - My Inner Soul IV (The Masterpiece)
This instrumental deserves the respect... It's not easy to get on my mixtapes... Special thanks to M.A.X., my CD's would not have come out yet without you...
4. Boogie Down Productions (KRS-One) - 30 Cops or More
Not included on the Edutainment LP... Prototype Hiphop/reggae joint... Very slept-on!...
5. Aim f/Diamond D - The Omen
New Diamond D shit!... He brings back that early 90's fresh... This Aim-produced version, surprisingly, I like more than the Diamond D remix...
6. Chi Ali - Chi Ali vs. Vanilla Shake
The most slept-on joint from 'The Fabulous Chi Ali' LP... I always loved this beat...
7. Doujah Raze - Looking up (instrumental)
A.C. speaks, and rhymes... This b-side beat is extremely slept-on...
8. A.C. Speaks With His Hands (sucker DJ medley)
Inspired by and dedicated to the sucker DJ's with no ear... Some have one, some don't... Not everyone was meant to do this...
9. Da Lench Mob f/Ice Cube - All On My Nut Sac
One of the last two classic joints Ice Cube ever made, both from Da Lench Mob's first LP, Guerillas In The Mist (se: You And Your Heroes)... What happened Cube? You used to be so fresh...
10. Gangstarr - Dough In Advance (unreleased)
Not on any LP... Guru told me it's never coming out, but I saw a few bootlegs last year at Amoeba&Arons, damnit!... I have been playing this joint for three years...
11. Large Professor - Bullshit (unreleased)
From the unreleased Geffen Large Professor LP... I had this song in '95, and my EX-homie jacked me for it...
12. Melodramatic - Letting Go Of That
#4 on this singles' B-side... Very fresh, catchable beat... The A&B sides weren't nearly as dope, and I had to mix in the next record real quick before the corny singing comes in and kills the vibe...
13. Compton's Most Wanted - Whose Is It? (Give It Up II)
Very dope, classic, slept-on B-side... Too many kids don't know or care enough about what CMW meant and still means to Hiphop music... Three classic LP's... To me, this group means more to Hiphop than most of the current so-called 'underground' self-proclaimed legends every will...
14. Mighty Casey - Making Sure
The only artist on each of my first three mixtapes/CD's... Soon to return, reside and claim his Cali respect...
15. Laq Nun - Weigh Scales
Most slept-on joint from the Mission Control comp.... I even slept for a minute... Dirty, raw and fresh! Just like my mixtapes...
16. Alliance - I've Found ('88, unedited for first time)
From the legendary First Priority (Audio Two) producer King Of Chill... Like Mahogany (Eric B & Rakim), a great example that a Hiphop love song can be done without being corny or watered-down... Thanks for the tip Marvski (What's up with a gig, gee? )...
17. Porn Theatre Ushers - Catnip
Rare classic single.... Mr. Jason is a great slept-on producer/DJ... I'm sorry we haven't been able to put them on a 3rd Place show yet...
18. Kool Keith f/Tim Dogs' - I Ain't Havin' It
Kool Keith rocks this slept-on joint from Tim Dog's infamous Penicillin On Wax LP... I just put Keith's verse on this mix, and I know Tim ain't a great MC, but he made a lot of good music... Two good LP's, some classic joints...
19. Mobb Deep - Shook Ones (exclusive fresh remix)
Fresh mix for all you sucker DJ's who killed this song because you couldn't think of anything else to play, i.e. Tried By 12, MC's Act Like They Don't Know, Buddy, Come Clean, Times Up, etc....
20. Jeru The Damaja - Great Solar Stance
Dopest and most slept-on joint from Jeru's dissappointing post-Primo, Super Human Klik LP... If only the whole album would have been this good...
21. Louis Logic f/Grand Agents' - Service The Target
I had to put this verse on a mix... The very slept-on Louis Logic steals the show...
22. Skinny Boys - Jockbox (America Loves The Skinny Boys) ('85)
The grand finale! Too many kids don't know about this mid-80's classic... Pure, high energy, ultra-fresh, timeless Hiphop music!...
released October 20, 2022
