I dug out an old mix tape and some of my favorite vinyl off of it and decided to remix the mixtape. I originally made this tape in ‘99 under the name DJ Rook, but instead of remixing the whole tape I just selected my favorite songs and blends for your enjoyment.

As you can see from the photo’s of the original mixtape I basically threw this tape together with a photo of a piece by Juan2, miscellaneous DJ photos, microsoft word, scissors, transparent tape, and a color photocopy machine courtsey of the folks at Gnomon Copy in between Central and Harvard squares. In high school that’s all I really had to work with. However, it was still a pretty fresh tape and since I still have all the vinyl that I used to make it, I took some of my favorite jams out of the crates and remixed the mixtape. Just to keep it old school I made sure to do a lot of backspins, juggles, and funky cuts for the party people out there. If you remember any of these tunes then give me a shout dammit!
This is the long overdue best of hip hop 2007 Ross The Boss mix. These tunes were in constant rotation in my house, car, and headphones all year long.

I threw this mix together today in a very short amount of time so some of the blends are a little rough, but I felt I had to share my favorite jams of 2007 with ya’ll as soon as possible. I put Weezy F. Baby’s picture up top because he definitely ruled 2007 with countless hits and priceless verses. I could have probably done an hour mix of all of the fresh tunes that he put out this year, but instead I just put one of my favorites, “La la la.” I also included a lot of songs from the south as they definitely continued to come with some great (as well as really wack) tunes in 2007. This is my first real podcast in almost three months since I have been busy grinding out my grad degree in education. I apologize for the delay and hopefully I will get back on track for 2008. Much love to all my fam, may the new year bring you blessings.
I know it has been a long time since I last posted and I promise that some very fresh mixes are on the way. In the meantime, I thought I would upload a Roc Raida old school mix from 1996 to keep the people happy. Raida is coming to the Good Life Bar in Boston this Thursday the 17th so as he shows Boston love, Ross The Boss shows him love in return. I ripped this from a tape that DJ Elyte bought in ‘96 so the sound quality took a hit, but it still bumps.
