SMH...GATORS BEATS REACH 1000+!!!!

 
What do I say about this?   I'm just a blogger.  A guy who likes music.  And in my spare time I try to share some of what I enjoy.  But this is crazy.  G continued to drop GATORS joints (50-track instrumental beat compilations) up to Volume 20, which if I got the math right, equals ONE THOUSAND BEATS.

But see, its not even completely right.  G decided to put some bonus tracks on Volume 20.  I'm sorry I don't have them all up today but, I can't keep up.  When I can get all of the new joints uploaded, I'll post em in a new section called GATORS ARCHIVE.  Hah, its not like you are going to listen to all of em tonight or anything.  According to the calculations from iTunes this complete compilation is 45 HOURS 34 MINUTES & 10 SECONDS LONG.  Yeah, so...take your time.

If you want to get the jump on me and begin your FREE DOWNLOADS of GATORS 1-20, the original thread is found HERE.

I've heard up to GATORS 13,  and I'm telling you, the beats just get sicker and sicker.  On 13 you'll find some wild 70's cartoon beats and funky Blaxploitation beats too.  When I get some time, I'll break down some more so it'll be easier to digest this.

Man, 1000 beats...just ridiculous.  Never experienced anything like it.

---EDIT
ALL GATORS TRACKS ARE UPLOADED AND IN THE GATORS ARCHIVE.

GATORS COLLECTION ANNOUNCED!

I don't really know if I have ever seen anything like this before, but G has decided to make a collection of the beats he made between 2004 - 2007 available to the public, once again, for FREE!!  Entitled "GATORS",  these individual collections have 50 beats per project.  In like 3 days he's dropped 7 projects and I hear maybe by the end of the night could be at 10...

..............................

Honestly, when was the last time you got access to 500 original beats in 3 days without a Bit Torrent?  I mean, this one particular collection is like some producer's whole career.  Needless to say, I'm blown away by the staggering force of this guy's work ethic.  If it doesn't make you wanna step your game up, it should man, it really should.

I've listened through the first 5 GATORS and there is a truly diverse set of styles on display here.  There is something for everyone on these.  Tracks range from pimped-out smooth joints, & old-school boom bap flavor, to some dance ready tracks with a driving tempo and positive energy.  You'll hear some heart-wrenchingly soulful tracks, some off-the-wall unclassifiable stuff, and of course some viscerally gritty, raw pieces too.

Its a beat making tour-de-force, and though every last beat isn't in the most finished final form, you'll occasionally get a beat which consists simply of a sample looped in an interesting way, and you can at least get a general idea about process and the elements G uses to construct a beat.

AFRO SAMURAI - GBUILDING MIX - PT. 2

Part 2 of the ridiculously ill GBUILDING MIX of the soundtrack for Afro Samurai. Again select GBUILDING tracks are placed as soundtrack music for the Afro Samurai TV series. The fierce action goes hand in hand with the intensity of these tracks. Enough talk. Just peep it.

AFRO SAMURAI - GBUILDING MIX - PT. 1

Here is a special treat.  

GBUILDING tracks set as soundtrack music for the Emmy nominated AFRO SAMURAI. 

According to a RZA interview, Season 3 is in the works.
I definitely hope so.  In the meantime, check out the AFRO SAMURAI G-MIX below.

GBUILDING STEELWORKS13 - RAEKWON THE CHEF

This one right here is one of my favorite GBUILDING projects. In commemoration of the loooooong awaited Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2 album, G releases STEELWORKS 13!  With 8 remixes each of "10 Bricks" and "House of Flying Daggers" it almost feels like you got another or even a substitute OB4CL2 album.

One thing that makes projects like this really special is that G gives you little bonuses during interludes and at the end of tracks making it worthwhile to listen all the way through to the end.  For example, on any given project, on top of the sicc beats you'll most likely get a relevant interview or a rare commercial audio sample.  In many ways, G is a bit of a historian in that those samples will often give you some insight into the process for the album, the mindset of its creators, or what they are doing in the future.  One extra on this STEELWORKS is an ODB audio compilation tribute which is seriously a must hear.  I'd probably cop this one just for that, but the tracks are bangin' too!  Not to mention the price is right.  (*cough -- FREE!)
Flat out it is just a solid project overall.

 

Don't sleep on this one.  Grab it up for FREE on the STEELWORKS Download Page after you sample 10 BRICKS and HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS below.  Also check out some illustrations from the Wu Massacre album with Ghost Rae & Meth.
