311 - Live at UNO Lakefront Arena at 3-11 Day 2004 (3/11/04), uncut audio. tagged and with album art (FLAC)

So, there's a DVD release of 311's "3-11 Day" show from 2004, and it's a REALLY well produced DVD. The main problem is, a lot of SA's turntable work is muted, and 4 songs were cut. Other things cut were slipups, and some stage banter and talking. For example, when P-Nut brings out an upright bass for "Seems Uncertain", Nick replies "what's that". That's really small and not really worth mentioning to be honest lol, but I personally prefer uncut live albums with EVERYTHING intact. I had no clue about this prior to seeing someone upload this uncut version to YouTube with a link to the raw archive.org files. This upload is those files but with tags and album artwork. I've included 2 album covers, both made using a scan of the DVD ran through Vector Magic and scaled to fit a standard album cover size.

 I DID NOT RECORD THIS AUDIO! I am not sure who did, but "Tony Moresi" uploaded it to archive.org, so special thanks to them!

Janky-ass recording setup but still sounds pretty ok considering the way it was done. 
Most of the clearer crowd noises in the right channel were the people next to me.

Fun fact: You can hear me go "HOLY SHIT" at the beginning of Slow Death. First time that song has been played since 2016.

Peeping Tom Demo Tape (Fixed Tracklist) (MP3 128kbps)

 

Every version of this demo tape that I could find online had the tracks mislabeled almost entirely, this upload fixes that. I also saw mentions of a 7th track called "The Peeping Tom" which I was only able to find on a Spanish blogspot post, but I doubt this track is from the tape, as it sounds vastly different to the rest of the tape, both in terms of sound quality and the song itself.

I sadly could not find any of these tracks in higher quality than 128kbps :(

Frankie Jones: An Unknown Rapper (Rightfully Spoken FLAC/MP3 Download)

 

Frankie Jones

    So back in early 2020 (like, RIGHT when shit hit the fan), I was doing some research on Scatman John to see if any new live performances/ads/whatever has been discovered, and I came across a page that John's wife made which discussed songs about stuttering. One of them of course being the song "Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop)", but another song mentioned being "Man in the Mirror" by Frankie Jones. This page included low quality (by today's standards, anyways) versions of these songs. 

    Upon hearing "Man in the Mirror", I became very intrigued. The lyrics were very well written, and the beat was very catchy even if a bit odd sounding. The songs beat sounds to have been made using some form of MIDI? I cant tell, but I honestly love how it sounds. The website mentioned an album that Frankie released with this song on it, "Rightfully Spoken", which had absolutely 0 uploads anywhere online. Just "Man in the Mirror", only because of the low quality version uploaded to the website, but the rest of the album was completely lost. I wound up finding a very cheap copy of the album on eBay and bought it instantly and gave it a listen a few days after it was delivered.

    Upon first hearing it, my first thought was that this album is pretty lo-fi in its production, and pretty unique in its own way. The lyrics are VERY much from the heart throughout, I was impressed by that honestly. It isn't the greatest album ever made or anything, but I very much respect it. In terms of the beats, in a lot of the songs, they drag on a bit, but it isn't a bad listening experience or anything in my opinion. Very interesting listen overall.

So, here is "Rightfully Spoken" in its full glory, in lossless FLAC and MP3.

Brother Ali - Rites of Passage (CDQ Cassette Mix, Cassette Rip, CD Rip WAV/CUE/LOG) (WAV)

Original Cassette art, scanned from the insert

Unused CD or Vinyl scaled version of the art from the Rhymesayers website

2004 CD remaster which did not come with any art

CDQ Cassette Mix:
This version of Rites of Passage is a custom made version I put together that reverts the slight mixing change on the CD remaster and makes them identical to the original Cassette version. This change is "So Dearly" fading into the track after it, "Voices In My Head". This was done by finding where the outro loops and repeating it, and fading it out accordingly using Audacity's "Adjustable Fade" feature and comparing it with the original Cassette rip. This also fixes the outro from "So Dearly" being listed as a separate track. The intro to "Voices In My Head" was fixed by taking the intro from the Cassette rip, removing the noise, and splicing it back in.

Cassette Rip (24bit 192khz):

This is a rip of the original 2000 released Cassette done using a Technics M65 tape deck and a Schiit JIL Analog-->Digital converter. It sounds VERY good for a tape (especially one that's 21 years old) due to it being on chrome tape thankfully. Though, the CD remaster does sound better. More so uploaded due to it being a crucial part of the artist's discography in my opinion.

CD Rip:

This is a rip of the 2004 released CD remaster done using Exact Audio Copy. This CD has a few changes (some I mentioned above) but will reiterate.

• So Dearly fades out into Voices In My Head
• So Dearly's outro is split off into another track, "Music In My Head", but is not different musically in any way
• 2 bonus tracks are added at the end, "The Phoenix (feat. Musab)", and "Eighty-8 (feat. BK-One)"

No other changes are present in this remaster thankfully, Rhymesayers did an AMAZING job on it, I'm very surprised that they didn't like how it came out. Id go as far to say this deserves a Vinyl release at the very least.
