Emynd’s Lunch Break Beats is a series of club-friendly blends, edits, or beats Emynd produced on his laptop (usually while sitting in his car on some random side street in Wilmington, D-ware just after eating his WaWa lunch) while on his lunch break at his 9 to 5. The whole series can be found here.

If you’ve been riddiming up the Mary J “Just Fine” Remix with Wayne (produced by Swizz Beats) with Chubb Rock’s “Treat ‘Em Right” like me, this little blend might come in handy to help keep the vibe going. Portions of this sound a little bit off, but I think on the whole, this works surprisingly well and can rock a variety of crowds. As always, thoughts are appreciated!

If you missed it, valedictorian homie (and resident hockey dork expert) CAPS posted a really thorough, tasteful, and listenable Aaliyah mix over at the Fader blog, full of Caps’s favorite jams ranging from the obvious to the obscure. May she rest in peace. I was reading Caps’ description of his mix on his blog and noticed a side note where he says the following:

Note: I made a very deliberate choice to kind of put myself in the background here, aka no C-C-C-CAPS!!!!! drops, no Aaliyah vox over the new Lil Wayne beat, no super scratchiti defacing the Are U That Somebody instrumental.

Well, a couple days earlier, I had thrown the “Are You That Somebody” acapella on top of “the new Lil Wayne beat” and his mix helped me muster up the energy to post it on the blizzog. I know there’s already way too many damn Lollipop-related mixes out there, and really, nothing is touching Timb’s production on the OG “Are You That Somebody,” but I think this works. And for the DJs, it’s a good way to end the night.

I really know very little about House music and kind’ve just assumed this Sharon S song “Wonderful” (1993/4) was a really well-known, classic House track. Apparently it’s not though because I asked a couple in-the-know folks if they had a high quality mp3 of it so I could upgrade, and these know-it-alls knew nothing. A couple folks had heard it though, so it’s not completely obscure or anything. Anyway, this is one of my favorite House songs ever and I wanted to throw some stuff on top of the more spacious parts to make this more relevant for a crowd that isn’t made up primarily of House music nerds. So, I threw Fatman Scoop on top yelling a lot and Timbaland’s brief verse from “Drop” intros the song for easy mixing.

RUN FOR COVER! Elephant Man’s classic “Die By Gun” from the Stepz Riddim on top of THE BEST PRODUCER ALIVE’s Vibe Music jam “Drifter.” I really really love this beat and thinks the Energy God fits on top nicely.

I recently told my man noz that Philly rappers should only rap on drums. That should be the Philly regional sound: rap, drums, and maybe a couple honks or chimes here and there (and, to a certain extent, that kind’ve is the legacy and history of Philly rap as is). “75 Bars” is another drum heavy Philly jawn that knocks so effing hard in its simplicity. As soon as I heard the song a couple weeks back, I knew I wanted to spicen it up a bit and put a Jamaican DJ on top. Busy Signal fits the ball quite well. I kept it short and sweet and threw some always effective Fatman Scoop chants on the intro.

Knock it!
