Digging in the crates last week at a hidden gem location primarily filled with antiques, found this album for $1 along with some other heat.

[@thepauliesmalls]

I bought Beat Junkies Vol 2 (Double Disc) in '98 from record store at age of 14 or 15 because I was blown away by "Work The Angles" by Dilated Peoples. Wasn't very familiar with rest of artists. Needless to say aforementioned album changed my life. Partially responsible for turning me into the self proclaimed Hip-Hop need that I am today at age of 30. Perfect timing because by time '99 rolled around I was in 9th grade & HUNGRY for Hip-Hop because of this album which introduced me to countless underground artists & record labels. In '99 just to name few, Mos Def "Black On Both Sides", Roots "Things Fall Apart", Rawkus Presents Soundbombing II, MF Doom "Operation Doomsday", Haiku De'Tat, Handsome Boy Modeling School "So How's Your Girl", Dr Dooom "First Come First Served", Beat Junkies Vol 3 (Mixed By DJ Melo-D), Blackalicious "NIA", Dead Prez "Let's Get Free", Method Man & Redman "Blackout", Pharoahe Monch "Internal Affairs", Peanut Butter Wolf "My Vinyl Weighs Ton", Dr. Dre "Chronic 2001" & many, many more. Anyhow these were albums all released in '99 that caused me to absolutely fall in love with Hip-Hop culture. Was really Beat Junkies Vol 2 & Vol 3 due to wide array of underground artists from all different labels & regions that gave me foundation to build off. These were albums that schooled me in Hip-Hop at perfect time during my early adolescence which just happened to coincide at same time the underground scene was really burgeoning & beginning to gain traction whilst beginning of end for mainstream started as '99-'00 was really when rapid over commercialization of art form began but I digress. Basically I owe a lot of gratitude to Beat Junkies for sharing large role in expanding my mind & instilling love of Hip-Hop culture that continues to this day...

+thepauliesmalls I just want you to know I enjoyed your comment. And seriously, Work the Angles is insane. Every time I listen to that I repeat the last 30 seconds like 5 times. Babu is an absolute beast on the tables.

always showing respects to all the og emcees far ahead of there time. sending much respects from aotearoa new zealand

[@DirtyMoneyHipHop]

Love all of the albums you listed, but had to show extra love for the Handsome Boy Modelling School album. Metaphysical track brings it!! Also, the DJ Revolution "In 12s We Trust" album is worth a listen. Cheers

[@beatsinmycrates]

prob my fav mix-album, i remember when i bought this it put me on to independent hip hop, The Cali Scene..

[@djpierroh476]

Heard that in 1999/ 2000 and now, 18 years later, it still the best mixtape 've ever heard. Thanks for sharing.

[@2john149]

Gotta check Golden era Vol 1 and 2 by Dj Pump. Now thats the shit.

When people cared about being clean n fresh. Melo is all attention to detail. So tight you don't know he's trick mixing.

[@djdelightfull]

The whole intro goes HARD time after time!!

[@therealtruth2324]

This mixtape and soundbombing vol 2 are my favorite mixtapes of all time. Both are tied, I love them both that much.

[@nuffsd]

"All that scratchin is making me itch"......2 turntables and a mixer forever!. 👌👏👊🔥🎧🎶💿🎚📀

[@EXPLICITMC]

PURE CHILLNESS...DOPE CUTZ

[@SRTHEMIMOPAR]

I have all beat junkies..visionaries..kausmanats..babu..rhetmatic..lmno..2mex albums..im so glad I was into great music!!

[@kenwho]

the 92.3 intro on the halfway, i used to love when i heard this on the radio

[@palehorse720]

Radio ID#2 is the illest and holds a special place in my vinyl heart as it transition to Lootpack

[@cluepac]

that thumbs down button has no business being on this page. Such a classic mix!

[@Muse470]

I love this Beats !!!!!

[@JasonLorenz94117]

That Defari track is still fire. I haven't heard it anywhere else besides this album.

[@sseguyakakeeto8358]

True Bro. Neither have I!

[@dantegood2195]

Jason Lorenz his tracks, produced by evidence, always had such fire piano samples

[@kilo-watt]

I have the 12 inch on vinyl.

[@DirtyMoneyHipHop]

Freestyling to this beat is a lot of fun. Not that my rhymes come close to Defari's on this classic.

[@nikokilla1224]

I just love it to listen in dope cuts !!! (:

[@derrylbrooks6541]

Ayy Microphone mathematics sound so phat on this mix

[@jeneralj.u.-ice6607]

Choclair's "Flagrant" was always my favorite track off this album. DJ Melo-D killing it on the scratches and cuts. Dope.

[@deborahfrazier7760]

"Whenever I move eyes glued, whether its moon or high noon"

[@johnjacobs9753]

The transition from LMNO to Choclair was always my favorite on this album. The song choice, the scratches…. perfection!!!!

[@djnebur77]

Memories of going to Fat Beats and copping this CD.

[@cur127]

Melrose is Hollywood shit

[@georgeatlarge]

Salute to fat beats records on Melrose ..Big Juice /owner gave me my first shot with my clothing line ..and if you Been there you know how small the gear section was micro..If it didn't have anything to do with music it wasn't taken into consideration, I'm humbled by the shot that was given to me LA in the 90s was fly graffitti yards ..Belmont tunnel..and shout out to sporty LA...the first old school sneaker spot..They always had the heat..No standing in line for sneakers..the good old dayz

[@mikelamoureux5264]

“Some people try and keep it real but Should try keepin right!!!”!!!!! Classic line!!!!!!

[@jmm8476]

Stone classic. Don't remember where I got this cd. Didn't burn it tho, ha ha, that I remember. Listened to it way too many times. Cuts and scratches lay back when they should, forefront to flex when appropriate, but really the most underrated aspect is the track mix. Yeah melo can scratch but damn if he doesn't understand building, mixing, and progressing. Ima house music DJ, and the mix and build are all that matter in that style, and this cat is too damn good. He did one later on of old school jams that's just... Mwah! Love, yall

Oahu, Hawaii back in the early 2000s. I had "Flagrant" by Choclair blasting through the whip and the headphones. 🎧😌

[@brianfarkas8172]

One of the best in this 46 year old white mans opinion.

[@ruizvictor213]

Someone told me that the beaties boys owned xlarge idk if its true. Years later Guru was singing albums. Now at melrose ave they had fat beats dame i mis those days.

Underrated band of all time

[@bartbullock7817]

What band????

[@doyle5948]

​@@bartbullock7817 beat junkies

[@bartbullock7817]

@@doyle5948 a contemporary"band" plays actual musical instruments, each member on an instrument, playing in unison, with skill and passion. I've been listening to hip-hop since 79, I listen to country rock and heavy metal, the beat junkies were okay, DJ melody d, had skills, but I can assure you they are not close to many of the underrated bands that have been around

[@bartbullock7817]

@@doyle5948 I'm glad that everybody is listening to this music now, you were correct, it's got soul. There are many bands that may not be appreciated for a long time, I'm glad Carlos Santana finally got his props, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, top 10 underrated bands of all time. The Gregg Allman Band, one of the tightest bands you will ever hear. Pantera, without radio play, without MTV, sold millions of albums, they will not be appreciated for the talent, and heart, for many years, Pantera didn't care if you liked their music, they wrote and sang every song for themselves, no compromise, no commercialism, the hardest heavy metal ever, but I'll digress
