J. Rocc's Adventures in Stereo (9/27/15) - Madlib Carnival Edition



Absolutely stellar radio! J. Rocc begins by playing all sorts of buttas you will all begin scouring the net for. The show then goes onto play live sets (recorded at the Outlook Festival in Croatia) from both Pete Rock and Madlib.  Side Note: I haven't heard a Pete Rock mix that good since the Future Flavas days.

Time is Illmatic Mix - Mixed by Pete Rock



Not the most impressive mix you'll hear. However, some people just can't get enough Illmatic in their lives, so this post is for all of you. A far more impressive Illmatic mix can be found HERE.  I do recommend you all see the film Time is Illmatic.  The film is very well done.  Be warned though, the film is far more biographical about Nas than it is a "making of" Illmatic.  If you're more interested in the background of how Illmatic was made, I recommend watching this and this.

Diggin' on Blue - Mixed by Pete Rock

Pete Rock's Diggin' On Blue by Soul Cool Records on Mixcloud


I had no idea that Pete Rock did one of these Blue Note Records mixes. Make sense, but I had no clue the mix existed until a few days ago. Enjoy

Boiler Room NYC (4/25/13) - Pete Rock


Nothing earth shattering here, but it's always cool to hear a live party set from the legendary Pete Rock.

Pete Rock Live on All Hip Hop Radio



I'm always fascinated by Pete Rock mixing on the radio. Here, PR mixes mostly newer, quality, hip hop joints. Enjoy.

Pete Rock Live in Sydney, Australia (1/12)



One of the more inspired Pete Rock sets I've heard/seen in recent memory. Watch the Chocolate Boy Wonder mix all the classic theme songs to the shows we all grew up on.

Delicious Vinyl 25th Anniversary Mix - Mixed by Pete Rock


The Stussy x Delicious Vinyl Collection celebrates the 25th Anniversary of the LA-based record label. The minor label started in the late 80s and became a major figure in the evolution of hip-hop through the early 90s with acts such as The Pharcyde, Masta Ace, Tone Loc, The Whoridas, Young MC and Brand New Heavies.  I still remember look for those distinct Delicious Vinyl record sleeves at the record store back in the day.

Pete Rock Live on Soul Assassins Radio


This is a set from the Chocolate Boy Wonder with excellent track selection. I was pleasantly surprised listening to this mix because I heard a bunch of quality joints/remixes etc... that I hadn't heard before. If anybody can provide tracklist it would be greatly appreciated.

Pete Rock Live at Brooklyn Do-Over



Apparently, Pete Rock was able take some time away from twitter and beefing with Lupe Fiasco to please the Brooklyn Do-Over folks for a mix of classic soul tunes and a Biggie medley. Part II (Biggie medley) after the jump.  Free Pipomixes' "Mixtapes R for the Babies" t-shirt for whoever can correctly describe what I couldn't stop laughing at while watching video 2.

Friday Night Flavas (5/11/02) Featuring Pete Rock Set


The Friday/Monday tradition continues. This episode includes a special Pete Rock set. Fast-forward to just before the 26 minute mark to hear PR really cut up the intro to U.N.'s "Give it to Yall." BTW, word on the street is that a certain favorite blogger of yours is set to drop another mix in the next 24 hours. Stay tuned.

Pete Rock - 21 Questionws



This has got to be my favorite video series on the web. Biggie, Nas, or Jay-Z? Tits or ass? Premier or Dre? MPC or SP (you'll be surprised here)? NWA or Public Enemy? Illmatic or Cuban Linx? And the all important question, Beat Street or Wild Style? See Pete Rock's answers to all of these critical questions and more.

Pete Rock Talks About His Comic Book Collection

Stussy x Marvel - DJ Pete Rock from Stussy on Vimeo.

Stussy and Marvel produced this mini-documentary about Pete Rock's comic book collection, with his personal favorite being Hulk. I still think the Hulk t.v. show from the 70's/80's was some of the scariest sh*t from my childhood.

Pete Rock vs. DJ Premier (Japan)

DJ Premier vs. Pete Rock: Round 1 (FULL) from AlohaServedDaily on Vimeo.


Here is the full footage from the Pete Rock vs. DJ Premier battle that took place a little while back. I remember seeing the initial "battle" in L.A. back in 2008 and being very disappointed with the video footage that circulated afterwards. Almost 3 years later, finally some high quality footage.

Pete Rock - Biggie Tribute Set (3/7/09)



Is it me, or has Pete Rock been recently more willing to discuss the whole "Juicy" story. In several recent interviews I've been reading/hearing, Pete Rock has been a lot more candid about not receiving production credit for "Juicy." In a relatedly unrelated note, word on the street is that a certain deejay that is very familiar with this blog is getting ready to release the mother of all Biggie tribute mixes in March. But, you didn't hear that from me.

Pete Rock and DJ Premier Interview

Sitdown With DJ Premier & Pete Rock from DJPremierBlog on Vimeo.



Absolutely great interview with both Premier and Pete Rock. Just a taste of some of the gems you'll hear (a hip hop nerd nirvana).

- Guru discovered both Premier and Lord Finesse
- Premier and the Nutcracker physically assaulting a label exec.
- Spike Lee buying his first Gangstarr album because he thought Guru looked like Malcolm X
- Pete Rock considers his "Shut em Down" remix his production debut
- Pete Rock begging Nas to do another Illmatic before it's too late
