RareHipHop.com & Caz launch a mixtape saluting the Legends

The Legendary Grandmaster Caz, put down the mic for a second to get behind the turntables and do another mixtape for the site RareHipHop.com. Caz "s latest entry is entitled The Legends Mixtape. This mixtape is what RareHipHop.com is all about. It highlights rare, great music that has probably been forgotten by most, as well as tracks that most have not heard of if they have joined the Hip-Hop movement in the last decade or so.

As you go through the mixtape, you can not mistake the strength of the voices behind the songs that were created by Ice-T, the late great Big L, Digital Underground and DJ Hurricane & The Beastie Boys. If you have not heard of some of the acts that are listed, don "t worry you will not be disappointed. We suggest that you take the time to look up the songs they have uploaded on RareHipHop.com, as well as Google their contributions to Hip-Hop.

The groups on this mixtape were influenced by the start of the Hip-Hop movement in the Bronx or actually were a part of the movement. One great thing about The Legends Mixtape is that all of the artists that are on this mixtape are still involved in making music.

RareHipHop.com believes in respecting the culture of Hip-Hop by making sure the legends and veterans of Hip-Hop have a platform to be heard. The site is also breaking ground for new artists and those that will shape the industry in the years to come.

When asked "why do a mixtape dedicated to some of the pioneers ", Craig Taylor the CEO of RareHipHop.com said... "The Legends Mixtape is a way of saying "Thank You " to the legends that supported us. Putting together a mixtape mixed by our own legend Grandmaster Caz was appropriate. I hope this achieves the success of our inaugural mixtape and then some!

The old adage, "you have to know where you come from to know where you are going ", especially applies to Hip-Hop or should I say, should apply to Hip-Hop. All new emcees should always study the emcees of the past in order to elevate and grow the music. How can you make a classic if you haven "t heard a classic? The classics on this mixtape are timeless and that should be recognized by all Hip-Hoppers, both artists and fans alike!"

Caz added, "Being a veteran myself I feel it "s important to preserve and promote the legends and their era of Hip-Hop before the rampant commercialism and exploitation of our culture... This is not out with the old and in with the new here! It "s in with the new along with the old and that "s why RareHipHop.com has underground and legendary artists on their roster and as long as I "m here I will promote and try to preserve what "s real, true and rare!!!"

RareHipHop.com believes it "s a huge coup to have Grandmaster Caz dj "ing special mixtapes for the site. Put your headphones on and enjoy. For a free download of The Legends Mixtape click on the RareHipHop.com Mixtape Series link on the navigation bar.

This is just a sample of several of the pioneers that one can find on RareHipHop.com. RareHipHop.com "s first mixtape Underground Heat, has been played around the world and has been said to be the hottest mixtape to come out this year.
