Last year, as a tribute to J Dilla, this British producer Bullion made a beattape exclusively using samples from the Beach Boys' "Pet Sounds" album which totally blew up on the interweb. NYC rapper Starpower recently got a hold of it and rapped over all 12 tracks, none of which are more than two and a half minutes long. Clocking in at just 22 minutes, this is the best mixtape of the year. Starpower is like Ghostface without the snarl, and the beats are just brilliant, transforming surf rock into dusty funk nuggets."Rod Only Knows"

Great lookin' on the post, and great blog. I'm humbled by the fact that you thought so highly of "The Petting Zoo." I just started a li'l blog myself which is a collection of my random pop culture observations. It's called "The Electrifying Conclusion" www.t-e-c.blogspot.com. Keep it funky homey.

Pretty impressive - not exactly the easiest shit to rhyme over.
Big shout out to Starpower. More Fire Seen!
