This album right here got me into making beats when it dropped. This and a fat bag of weed =

track difference due to sample issues i believe?
the later issue took out a few instrumental cuts and had a few new vocal tracks with CL, Freddie Foxx, Nature etc.
I just realized I lost my favorite rips from that record when my old HD crashed.
There were non-instrumental tracks on the original pressing as well though, right? There were rappers on the last few tracks on the one I had, but I don't remember any of the ones mentioned being on it..

I love it. I bought it twice, on CD, 2 different "pressings".
The mixes (on CD) are totally
As I remember the second issue sounds better.
There are also 2 different pressings on vinyl, right?
I liked it, though. It's a decent listen, if not an everyday one, and some of it is musically as good as anything else Pete's done post-Mecca.
I love it cause you can bump certain tracks at a dinner party
peace.

"Pete Rock has a seperate house for all of his vinyl in Mt Vernon. Apparently he hasn't been back there in a few years."
It's PETESTRUMENTALS 2 that was a big letdown
PR my favorite producer of all time
i like most of beat generation stuff
really like king brits album and the spinna instrumentals record
small complaint
the pete stuff tends to sound the same unless you really select the tracks correctly when playing out.
not really a dancefloor killer
but i likes the raps on the 2nd cut.
i love pr but this quote made me choke on my coffee
set. Somewhere along the way one of the records got lost or misplaced, hopefully it's
stuck in a sleeve I haven't checked in years.
I think that's why I liked that album even more. It was just some dope shit to begin with but also from a producers point of view dude was able to flip used/classic samples and make something else out of them.
What's the verdict on this joint?
Haven't bumped it in about a year or two, but "Appreciate", "Love Thing" and the Leela James joint got a lot of play from me. Everything else was decent.
forever a fan of appreciate and really starting to like the album alot more these days as a whole
any one check the pete rock black album which was essentially the black album over petestrumentals
Can't we let the man become disinterested in his collection? It happens to the best of us.
I have really been feeling that Pete Rock cut, I think from that album (^^^^) that features Loose Ends... so smooth.
The way he flipped "Mango Meat" on the latter was pretty sick IMO.
Yeah man, that's from Part One. So Frickin' dope, dare I say
sexy
That album was above average to me. "Tru Master" and the "Vinia Mojica" jawn where tight but "Da Two" was one of the few cuts that where fresh.
So i'm listening to the SSII LP, and it's cool. Pretty much typical New York boom bap indie rap. Some of it's alright some of it being kind of hot.
EPK for the next Pete LP
