It's time for change, motherfuckers!
Wanna hear a pro-Obama mixtape that doesn't suck balls? Try this new DJ Premier Time 4 Change mixtape.
I'm not even sure what this shit has to do with Barack Obama. At the very beginning of it, DJ Premier shouts, "It's time for change, motherfuckers!" Then he's all like, "The election's coming up soon. We're not actually gonna be in town to vote. But, you know, there's absentee ballots and shit." Then it's on to the usual bitching about how the industry has got hip-hop all fucked the fuck up, i.e. the kind of shit I like to hear in my rap music.
I notice Premier's been surprisingly prolific as of late, after falling the fuck off a while back, and then making himself scarce for quite some time. He's had beats on albums this year by a number of obscure white rappers, including Little Vic, Ill Bill, and Termanology, and he did scratches on a track on that Black Milk album I reviewed the other day. And I suppose there's whoever's on his label, Year Round Records.
I'm assuming this mixtape is like most other mixtapes, in that it's "for promotional purposes" and hence free to give away. At any rate, there's a tracklisting and a link after the jump, via The Smoking Section.
