Album Description
Badmeaningood is proud to unveil a mix from Peanut Butter Wolf. This Los Angeles DJ, Stones Throw Record Label owner, producer, remixer, & record collector has been living life in the hip-hop lane since he first heard the Sugarhill Gang in 1979. In keeping with the Badmeaningood ethos, his mix is a journey through his influences & records he feels helped to shape Hip-Hop, a real mixed bag dabbling in Rap, 60's Psychedelia, Funk, Electro & Soul. It features tracks from Grandmaster Flash, Cold Crush Brothers, Roy Ayers, The Human League & some of the finest breaks known to man, woman or dancefloor! Digipak. 2003.Customer Reviews:
Wildly Eclectic Mix album offering from Peanut Butter wolf.........2004-06-21
After a brief intro, the knowingly cool old school Hip-hop of "New Adventures of Grandmaster Flash" kicks off the proceedings, and it's as excellent as start as you could possibly have wish for, before moving the mix effortlessly into the more celebratory Party Rap of '45 king's - Funk Box (We Want to Hear the Beat Box)', which flashes it's wares with some excellent beatbox improvisation. But Peanut Butter doesn't rest in the realm of hip-hop for too long, as the Acid Rock of `Iron Butterfly's - Soul Experience' changes the mood into something a little more melodically obscure.
`Roy Ayers' contributes a superb effort in the shape of "Can't you see me", the stylish soul shouter that is one of a great many highlights on this album, and also has the double effect of highlighting that Roy Ayers made some fantastic singles in his time....Joyously upbeat and features more than a nod to R&B/Jazz crossover, this marks the transition from funk tracks to more song-based Soul/Jazz collection of songs. Bizarrely, (although I'd say ingeniously ), Peanut butter wolf drops an unexpected gem in the shape of "The Human Leagues - Hard Times", that's forgoes jazz/funk/Soul/Rap, and gives a large helping of synth-Pop, New Wave......undeniably catchy, and more than a little unexpected, this catches the listener off-guard , as most listeners were (quite rightly) expecting from a producer such as Peanut butter, to heavily focus his mix around Hip-Hop & classic funk.
Another unexpected deviation is into Reggae, with the finger pointing self-righteousness from the legendary gravely voiced deejay "Prince Far I", with a slow smoky mood hanging over his track that is as serious in its unrelenting declamatory chanting, as it is in its Druggy-infused Dub instrumentation. Whether peanut butter included this track, to lend this mix a level of seriousness, in amongst some of the more lighted tracks, or this just happens to be a particular favourite of his, isn't clear.....but it truly is a sublime inclusion, separating & distinguishing itself in amongst the rest of these musical gems, and its probably at this point, that the album truly distinguishes itself from being just another excellent mix album.
"The Jungle brothers" Hip-Hop/Jungle referencing "I'm gonna do you", is by and large more subdued in comparison to their most well-known material, almost afrocentric Hip-Hop in places, this slow's the tempo down somewhat, and harkens back to Hip-Hop's `Golden Age', the raw, basement-level production is pretty rudimentary, but its important not to forget that a sense of fun and positivity that hearkened back to the music's earliest Sugar Hill days, is in evidence here.
But the final track closer isn't a Hip-hop floor filler or Dj scratched funk track, but the harmonious soul/Rhythm & blues, of "Keni Burke's - Risin' to the Top", Is a truly glorious track to end the album with. Some may bemoan the fact that Peanut butter wolf should have ended the track with something more upbeat, but such is the truly sensual nature of this track, and given the broadly eclectic nature of this album, that to end on an expected note would have defeated the point of the tracks that went before it. And not only ends the album on a positive high, but decisively proves that Peanut Butter Wolf more than amply knows how to construct a exceptional mix album.
It must be reiterated that fans of his older material, right up till "My Vinyl weighs a ton", should be warned that this has far more in common with his (fairly) eclectic "Jukebox 45's" album, incorporating everything from `Funk / Soul /Jazz / New Wave / Dub & Old School Rap' collated & Mixed into a sublime effort. If you're looking for something more beat heavy or a Hip-hop related to add to your collection....then don't bother with this, as tempos change wildly, Reggae/Dub, sits next to Synth-pop, and there's a far greater range collection of influences here. But the transitions between genres are virtually seamless and there's not a duff track on here. Those that enjoyed the eclecticism of "Jukebox 45's" will find much to enjoy here, and this includes those people that enjoy exceptionally realised mix albums, that don't stick firmly to one genre.......highly recommended.

Album Description
BadMeaningGood gives Hip Hop's freest spirits the chance to refashion the story of hip hop in their own personal way, redefining what the genre means by showcasing the music that they feel best sums up what it's all about. This time out, BMG hands the controls to a trio. Tony Vegas, Plus One and Prime Cuts are better known as the Scratch Perverts, and between them the three London-based battle DJs have racked up more UK and world titles than any of them can care to remember. Yet all three men share a belief that hip hop is about more than proving your mettle in competition, which is why their mix is chock full of heavyweight tunes and their scratch mastery is held potently in reserve."We tried not to go too skills-heavy," Vegas explains. "When you're making something for people to listen to it's more important to let the records breathe. Hip hop came from many, many different social musical backgrounds. And I think if people begin to understand that, then hopefully they can start digging in the crates for themselves and going back and finding out a little bit more about music."
What the Perverts define as Hip Hop is a long way off what people might expect. "Hip Hop is a celebration of all kinds of music just by its very nature," explains Prime Cuts. "So it follows that our album will be very much a Hip Hop album in the broadest sense of the term. We've tried to do what we see Hip Hop as being - a celebration of all music, taking on board everything that inspires us and channeling it into our tracks."
