Crank that? Crank this...

Nyquil Mixtape of the Week – (noun) A group of five (5) songs that you are currently sleeping on. Either you've never heard them or forgot how much you really love them. Regardless, you need to brush the dust off your CD rack and play them or add them to your collection.


1. "The Realest" – 50 Cent ft. The Notorious B.I.G.
Of the posthumous Biggie songs, this ranks right up there with the Dead Wrong Remix with Eminem. Beat was sick, 50 came off and BIG was well, BIG.


2. "Making a Name for Ourselves" – Common ft. Canibus, One Day It'll All Make Sense
This is one of those classics that you all know but never knew the song title. So you are all perplexed until you click the link and collectively go, "Ooooh, yooo that's my s**t!"


3. "Queensfinest" – DJ Clue ft. Nas, The Professional
Slick Rick James, Ill n***a, get brains with the f**kin Hilfiger… Stop it!


4. "Players Holiday" – T.W.D.Y.
The feel of this song is so lovely. Palm trees, long cars and sunny days – Gotta love the Bay area.


5. "Bring the Ruckus" – Wu-Tang Clan, Enter the 36 Chambers
This classic album had 6 hit singles however this joint set it off and with that Shaolin's Finest took over Hip-Hop for the next few years.



Come back every week for a new mixtape!
