That shit is hot! Let us download it or send it at least. I wanna spin it and have people be like Oh shit what's this old g funk hit? Some rare shit that was never released!
ninos 5:47 PM - 5 September, 2010

dj_craigmac 6:52 PM - 5 September, 2010
Seriously guys??? I was just postin this cause i was feeling nostalgic. I didn't think nobody would actually like it enuff to want it.
djfrequency 7:31 PM - 5 September, 2010

Dj No Name 8:20 PM - 5 September, 2010

I am a HouseHead by nature. But when i left chicago and moved to san diego nobody in sd was into house so i picked up hiphop and rap as a way to stay into music.

I am really shocked that some of you like it considering how old it is.
ninos 12:35 AM - 6 September, 2010
BTW, who produced the beat?
dj_craigmac 12:43 AM - 6 September, 2010
I did. Wrote and produced
ninos 1:12 AM - 6 September, 2010
badass man! props!
Dj Shamann 1:22 AM - 6 September, 2010
Sounds good for the time, thumbs up. But LOL @ calling yourself Craig Mac in 1995. Were you living under a rock or just didn't care?
dj_craigmac 1:26 AM - 6 September, 2010
LOL thats why i gave up rappin because he was 1000 times better than me. But i've gone by the name of Craigmac since 1985 it was my dj name.

Well if we can get Inst, Acca, and DJ Intro/Outro plus an Accaplella Out mix we may just play it early in the night.....

Just kidding - still think it is pretty cool, just tripping about Craig Mac (2000 degreez) vs CraigMac the Dj - LOL.
dj_craigmac 2:43 AM - 6 September, 2010
LOL dj_Craigmac(yeah right sarcasm) vs Craig Mack
He made me put the MIC down and stick to djing and making beats

In fact when he (craig mack the flava in ya ear guy) was at the height of his popularity I was entertaining the thoughts of a name change because some people outside of san diego and chicago thought that i was BITTING his name.
dj_craigmac 2:45 AM - 6 September, 2010

ROTFL!!! Don't worry summerjam is not on my list of things to do. In fact I don't even pickup the mic for rappin in public anymore. I rap at home for my kids and at my studio after all the real rappers and singers that buy studio time from us are gone. lol

-just curious, what hardware did you use to produce the track?
dj_craigmac 8:32 PM - 7 September, 2010
Ensoniq ASR-10 with the fender keys library and my own special Tuned up drums from the 808 and 909 library
Discobee 6:28 PM - 8 September, 2010
I could totally mix this between the likes of 90's Mac Dre, Snoop, and other West Coast G-Funk songs.
Steve Dub. 6:35 PM - 8 September, 2010
HA! this is great craigmac. Of course back in 95 EVERYONE sounded like this. But now days it would be fresh. Thanks for posting.
DJ Dac 6:37 PM - 8 September, 2010
