A Boom Bap Continuum Mix

 2Tall, Kper, and DJ Clockwork have created an amazingly intricate 82 minute mix called A Boom Bap Continuum, highlighting the ever changing world of hip hop beat production since the turn of the millennium.  A few of the most appealing features of the mix release to me are the attention to detail, down to the hand lettered cassette tape case tracklists, the inclusion of quotes and spoken samples culled from video interviews, and of course the prominent Creative Commons licensing.  Go check out the mix and the rest of their work over at aboombapcontinuum.com.  Highly recommended.

[Edit]  Check the vocal sample at the end about usage of the word "beats" and "beatmaking" to describe electronic music production...its less about the genre of electronic music the beat belongs to, and more about the love of the beat itself.
