Berkeley Place & Blog Archive & DJ CINEMA-"The Stimulus... DJ Cinema is my favorite blend mixtaper. He is the creator of the classics “The Commission” (with Biggie & Jay-Z) and “Tupac Duets”, among others. His newest effort, “The Stimulus,” is another great one. What makes his work so special is that the beats and vocals hit the same posts every time, like the artist was in the booth working off the track. It’s the sign of a remarkably talented producer.

Top 10 Intellectual Rappers Music Despite being in the mainstream consciousness for over twenty years now, Hip-Hop is still largely thought to consist solely of idiotic, crude and often pointlessly violent lyrics that debase and malign the English language.
