It's All About The Benjamins - Puff Daddy, The Notorious B.I.G., Lil' Kim, The Lox



tempo: 90 bpm

The DJ's Take: Song #3 in our #59 mix (4:42):



This track is a slow build into one of the great closing verses in hiphop history. We've got Christopher Wallace at the peak of his powers, flowing effortlessly over a euphoric sample of It's Great To Be Here, which led off episode 52 of our mix show. Talk about saving the best for last.

On a side note, what's the over/under on number of years until >50% of Americans no longer know what a Benjamin is? I'm going with 20.

ROCKSTAR - DaBaby ft. Roddy Ricch

tempo: 90 bpm The DJ's Take: Song #1 in our chapter 51 mix (made in Logic Pro X ): Big bass, so I had to be strategic about where to transition out and into Rihanna's Work . A little more of an in-depth look, plus some thoughts on its shelf life in a dj's rotation: Bottom line, when nightlife at college bars picks up again, this will likely be in heavy rotation.

Bitches N Marijuana - Chris Brown, Tyga ft. ScHoolboy Q

Speed: 98 bpm The DJ's Take: People may complain that Chris Brown and Tyga keep coming out with tiny variations of the same song. I think it's smart - encourage dj's to play three or four of your singles in a row, and then mash them up on soundcloud without having to worry whether or not they sound right together. Mix with tracks like Loyal , Ayo , I Don't F**k With You , Team , and U Know What's Up , and you've got a key-compatible 15 to 20 minute set that should keep things moving.
