Posted: 13 Feb 2013, 9:38amSubject: SLAM & BAU Present: Real Deal (97) Mix
to celebrate the coming All-Star Weekend and the re-release of adidas’ ‘Real Deal’ sneaker, we teamed up with Frank The Butcher and adidas to bring you a brand new mix to keep your head ringin’ through the weekend festivities. Below is the tracklist, featuring a healthy dose of classics from ’97 and freestyles from newer artists putting their own personal flavor on classic instrumentals, along with a few words from Frank The Butcher to give you a full scope of the inspiration behind the mix. Enjoy!
The Real Deal (97) Mix is inspired by the 1997 release of the adidas ‘Real Deal’ basketball shoe and the hip-hop music that was released in the same year. Both the shoe and the music represented the end of the “mid-nineties” in aesthetic and sound. This new era wasn’t an abandonment of ideals from the previous, but more of a modernization of familiar elements pushing style towards the dawn of the new millennium. Basketball has always been the official sport of hip-hop music with both sharing a “do or die” competitive mentality that propels players or rappers, sometimes from the most dire straits, into unimaginable success based on a talent they developed in the streets.
This mix is a selection of our favorite songs from ’97 with some of today’s best revisiting some key beats of that year.
Whether it’s rapping in the hallway with your crew or playing 5-on-5 at your local court—the only way to be respected is to be the “real deal”.
