| Donald Trump doesn't like shacking people's
hands. He finds it to be a non-habit. As with so much blood
on his fingers, he might be a little anxious that other guys
don't wash their hands as good as he does (settle down it's
a joke). Now, when you consider all the masturbating rhetoric
on DJ Hands Solo's first mixtape "The Wanker Diaries",
you might be a little cautious to shake this man's hands too.
Well, you know, there's something about Mary hair gel style
why. At the same time however, if someone who juggles his balls
every now and then, thus is good at that, might be good at juggling
a beat as well. You know, he's good with his hands, right? |
| So if spanking the monkey is what Hands likes
to do, then other DJs might as well try it, cause it certainly
didn't hurt this guy. Because as humble he was when he told
us about the tape, as good it actually is. No, he's not Baby
Shortkut, or Lil' Craze. But he's effective. And he has an ear
for music, that allows him to know when it's good to do juggling,
when the track is right to do double timing, when a blend works
and etc. Because quite frankly, not everything works with everything. |

| But a little double timing with
"Unfucwitable"
by Lady Of Rage is nice. Putting J-Live's "Like
This Anna" over the RJD2 remix of
Mos Def and Diverse's "Whylin'
Out" is also niiiiceee. And the
same remixer treats El-P's "Lazerfaces
Warning" later on in the mix. And
if you find that these three tracks are kinda nice,
then be assured that the Steve dissin' M.O.P. "I
Gotta Go" (as of yet unreleased),
Little Brother's "The
Way You Do It", Ras Kass' "Golden
Chyld", Non Phixion's "Drug
Music, Gang Starr's "Natural",
Slug & Murs "Hot
Bars", right next to a Freeway,
Jay-Z and Beanie Sigel "What
We Do" are good tracks too. And
mixtapes are at least as much about good tracks,
as they are about good mixing. |
| And there's nothing to complain
about on the flip as well, where we get tunes by
Rasco "U Got The Time",
Soul Position "Unlimited",
Snoop Dogg "The One
And Only", Nas' immaculate "Made
You Look", Lewis Parker "Inkognito",
Diverse "Build",
Freddie Foxxx "Scram",
Akrobatik "Strictly
For The DJs" and even Morcheeba
feat. Slick Rick's "Women
Lose Weight Remix". With the turntable
trickery being on the same level, there's even a
special little extra something that might get some
folks turn their heads. Because Hands Solo has more
drops on this tape than a hurricane brings along
raindrops. You got everyone from Evidence to RJD2
to DJ Vadim to Bumpy Knuckles to The Clipse to do
a drop for the man. Plus you get more references
to wanking, often from the "American Beauty"
flick, to round this out as the masturbating propaganda
it also seems to be. |
| Therefor, get this in either all
the good record stores in Zürich, or order
it at hiphopstore.ch.
And you might not want to shake the man's hands
the next time you see him, but you should still
pat him on the back to congratulate him for this
dope tape. |
