MEKA: The wait is finally over. Personally it was a pleasure to see so many artists contribute to this project, and a special shout to DJ Slimm for lending his touch to the entire thing. Many shouts go to all of the artists who submitted, and although we were unable to fit them all in, you’ve pretty much secured a spot in the next project we do. Hopefully this can shed some light on a music scene that doesn’t receive as much shine as its lesser-talented, mainstream counterparts. This is our “thank you” to all you visitors for making this site what it’s become today. But enough talk. Enjoy!
SHAKE: I can’t say much that Meka didn’t say already. We really appreciate the support you guys give us and we try really hard to keep you all up to date on what’s what in hip hop (and more). There are a ton of songs that we wanted to put on the tape but just couldn’t because of time restraints (keeping it under 80 minutes so people can burn it on disc). Volume 2 is definitely a possibility. Shouts to Slimm for mixing the shit out of this and to Thurz & Y-O for coming through and hosting the joint. We hope know you’ll enjoy.

Thanks Shake & Meka!! Been waiting for this for a hot minute and it’s going in the iPod with a swiftness. Now, when y’all gonna do an East Coast Mixtape? (Yeah, I’m greedy…lol)
Great stuff guys, thanks a lot for this
Good shit fellas! You’ve put in a ton of work, site is better and content is starting to beat out that other “Nah *something*” blog…
Standout tracks for my tastes:
Shawn Jackson - Feelin’ Jack
Relax - Move.Meant
History - Young Life
Johnson & Johnson - Disco Dynamite
Great mixtape overall. Surprised as hell by the gift of gab appearance. and I know UNI hosted it, so you should feature them and I’m not hating at all, cuz it’s a dope song, but they didn’t have a newer song than Beautiful Day? and the only song I wasn’t feelin at all was One-2 - Tradition.
blame thurz and y-o for not having more placement, not us. and we both really like the beautiful day song so it got placement. since its our tape, i figured we have the final say on what goes on right? makes sense to me.
why do all of those artists suck?
i mean, I go on this site atleast twice a day, and that blows.
where is my three-6-mafia at?

Pardon the questions, I’m a little slow today…They decided what went on and what didn’t for the whole tape? Or just what UNI song got to go on? Or are you saying they just didn’t give you many choices for UNI songs to put on?
Looks dope to me. Downloading now and will spread it on my site later. Nice to see Move.meant on there…
2dope!!
Y’all should do a “midwest” version for the next tape…
DJPAULnJUICYJ
Just cause this music isn’t on ringtones or being play on BET doesn’t mean it sucks
DREW - nah, they we’re just being greedy haha. saving all the goodness for their album.
DJPAULnJUICY - just because three6 moved to hollywood doesn’t mean they are west coast artists haha.
east coast tape is a DEF possibility. i can only imagine what we could do with that. especially with all the relationships we have with all those dudes. sky what up? tor what up? sha? yessir!
im glad we got this tape done and out there. i learned a lot myself. i wanna work on getting a quick turn around once we decide to do another tape. it saves from losing out on exclusives (as the Blu & TiRon track leaked before we got it out, etc) and it will just make life easier.
i mean, it took slimm half a day to mix the tracks once i got him the folder. the artwork took less than a day, etc. we’ll see where we go from here.
PRICE.
shits hot…
I think a 2dopeboyz x McClarron tape should be next. haha. bah. Pissed we didn’t have any real studio stuff to contribute. Next time though. Tape is still good.
I’m in DC, West Coastin’ in the Cadi thanks to this tape lol. Much respect to Shake and Meka. Bong!
Peace & Hip-Hop
Lyriciss
H.O.T.T stuff just 2dope puns intended!

P.S. If you do that East Coast version, let me know if you want a Lyriciss track…gladly do that for the 2dope brethren.

I thought this was real ill Shake & Meka. Favorite tracks were the Blu joints, the Pac Div ft. TiRon, and the One-2. Def feelin’ it overall.
I agree with whoever suggested it earlier. We need the (2)Dope Midwest Tape next! So many good Twin Cities/Detroit/Chi-Town artists could be featured!

Hey great tape! I really like the selection of artists and songs a lot, and really like you guys site here to.
But the mixtape has A LOT of “2dope” shout outs in the backgrounds. It’s almost like a drinking game. Kinda spoils the tracks with the constant repetition of your tags.
The Grynch freestyle and Crooked I intro where really over the top.

If it wasn’t for y’all I wouldn’t know about cats like XV, Wordsmith, CurT@!n$, and wouldn’t have looked into as music by Charles Hamilton, Asher Roth, B.o.B., Pac Div, and countless other artists I knew of but wasn’t really schooled on.
