Omar Cruz, DJ Skee & Mister Cartoon Have "Last Laugh" - March 2, 2006 By : Rud



DJ Skee is back alongside Mister Cartoon to present the third installment of the official "Joker Brand Mixtape," this time hosted by none other than the West Coast's next mega-star, and dubcnn regular Omar Cruz - FKA Blunts LLA. The latest mixtape, entitled "Who Has The Last Laugh Now," replaces the extremely successful "Joker Brand - Tears Of A Clown" line and brings a new twist to the series, this time the mixtapes integrate various Hip-Hop tracks with the original sample that each song was created from. For example, you can hear Bootsy Collin's (Parliament) "Whats A Telephone Bill" mixed into 2Pac's classic "Str8 Ballin" and The Isley Brothers "Footsteps In The Dark" mixed with its classic Hip-Hop counterpart; Ice Cube's "Today Was A Good Day."

Due to the amount of work done to put this compilation together and DJ Skee's impressive record collection, there is no tracklisting for the CD which features of 30 tracks. As Omar Cruz states on the CD: "Either you know, or you don't!"

DJ Skee talks further on the release stating: "The mixtape has a ton of uncredited samples in it, ranging from everyone from the P Funk movement to Barbara Streisand - I mean even A&R's who worked on some of these records didn't even know what the original sample was - this CD is truly an example of diggin' in tha crates."

The mixtape was made available last week exclusively at the Joker Brand booth in Las Vegas, the limited first edition of 10,000 copies became out of stock within 2 days. Everyone else will half to stay tuned for the official version dropping in the streets within the next few weeks.

As ever we have some audio from the release for you to enjoy, thanks to DJ Skee for allowing us to present the media below. The two tracks are the afforementioned Ice Cube & 2 Pac sample examples from the mixtape.
