Right now I’m getting a kick out of this YouTube hype tape for last year’s CL Smooth album. There’s not a lot to it, but I love seeing my man Pete Rock do his thing with some pure 80s cheese. Are there more “producer-in-action” tapes like this around the web? I’d love to see ‘em.

You can sample the whole song here. These guys can still out some pretty decent hip hop considering their age. It’s not anywhere as startling as the burner Premier and AZ recently managed, but CL is about as solid as ever. Pete isn’t weaving as tight as he once did, but the novelty of the sample is enough for me right now.
