The last thread was great, let's bring it back!
Post your favorite tapes (top5?), tracks or producers
Pic related is probably my #1 favorite, I just got a bootleg cassette tape off eBay and I love it.

Not really a fan of the scene but I like DJ Paul's work.
Ryan Baker
DJ Paul is certainly a master of this sound. Him, DJ Sound and Blackout are my favorites.

>Sugar, spice, and everything nice. These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect juggernaut of a Memphis hip hop producer. A DJ with the combined skills and twisted mentalities of three established geniuses: DJ Sound, DJ Squeeky, and Juicy J. The city of Memphis added another ingredient, however; chemical X. Thus, DJ Fela was born--a freakish hero of the SP1200 and turntables who burned the city down each time a cassette was released. Niggaz Don't Die pushed the limits of mid-90s underground Memphis like nothing else--it's almost some sort of crossover shit, but crossing over with genres that don't even exist. The songs are crafted from club rap elements like deep 808s and 16th hi-hat rhythms yet the end result is an outsider phenomenon of the highest caliber. If there was an actual Memphis version of SpaceGhostPurrp's Blackland Radio 66.6 concept, Niggaz Don't Die would be the closest to that description--an avant garde trap transmission from the other side. Like I mentioned before, DJ Fela has the insanity and improv aesthetics of Sound and Squeeky, but his music is even more radioactive than anything those legends ever put together. The sampling density on some of these tracks smokes even The Bomb Squad, a few of the drum machine mixes scorch around 200 BPM, he's adding or dropping elements on every bar of each song, and the snare rolls are hard enough to knock brain matter straight through my ears and nose. The verses from Fela's troop of rapper affiliates are distorted, surreal, and contribute to some of the greatest posse tracks I've heard. If you've got an affinity for off-the-chain Memphis music like Player 1 & Bloody Bones or dance-centered bass music, then you'll probably enjoy this scrambled assault of playerism more than most people. Rest in peace DJ Fela.

I'm not familiar with them, are they $uicideBoy$-tier (trash)?

not necessarily, but not too far off. some members have made genuinely solid stuff. but most of it is just overused shit and romanticized _devilshyt_ worship.

when are we going to get a good mainstream memphis rap revival? LUM is good but everyone whos doing numbers with this sound is trash rn
Eli Taylor
You missed out the raider clan hype by a good handful of years
Jaxson Cruz
Denzel Curry? Although he's more of product of the Memphis Rap revival trend and seems like he's moving further away from that sound with his new releases

Good one, Anna Got me Clickin' has such an addictive beat and hook
Benjamin Brooks
Honestly the only track I don't really like is Break Da Law and it's still a classic. I really wish Playa Fly and DJ Paul weren't beefing and made another album like this. Then again DJ Paul sucks now and all Fly has been doing is making music videos for tracks from 1998. Gay

Demons Taking Over Me (1995) by Nigga Creep with DJ Sound production is pretty much a perfect "devil shyt" album.
I like every track on it but despise the album cover, someone should make an alt cover... maybe I can think of something.

Not from memphis rap, but a horrorcore classic (and not the corny type imo)
This dude's bar are disturbingly hilarious, quotables for days

Discogs is wrong, Demons Taking Over Me was never released in 95, and indeed never existed until a few years ago. Player 1 (used to be a Memphis rapper, but now notorious for bootlegging tons of old Memphis tapes he doesn't own the rights to) put it together and "re-released" it, acting like it was a lost Memphis classic.
In reality Nigga Creep never released any solo tapes in his lifetime, and all the tracks on Demons Taking Over Me come from different DJ Sound/Frayser Click tapes.
Eli James
Underrated track/tape by 2 Low Key (sometimes known as just Low Key).
For some reason a couple tracks on this tape were included on a version of Lil Noid's tape Paranoid Funk (another great tape), some under different song titles. Anyone know why?
Aiden Cox
Love this track, great tape

I still don't know how the John Maus meeting happened, were they playing the same venue or something?
Jaxson Rivera
Probably, TWIII was on tour in 2017. I missed him his Detroit show unfortunately.
Liam Moore
Wow. Now that I think of it I’ve heard most songs on the album on different Frayser Click/DJ Sound tapes, slightly different versions though. That sucks, it would be acceptable if Nigga Creep really intended to drop a solo tape but it wasn’t finished or just wasn’t released but these tracks/verses were already out. Fuck him, I hope DJ Sound don’t approve this fuckery.
I do know that Nigga Creep was murdered in 2000 during a robbery
