his early compilations were pretty good, but the guy really lost it post-2000. i always find it confusing as hell how a producer can make a beat from the ground up yet has no idea how to mix vocals in on-bar. half of the mixes on assassin's 2pac mixtapes are off-bar and just noobish sounding. i guess when someone isn't alive to drop the vocals on the correct bar assassin should enlist the help of any random ass youtube remixer who seems to know his trade better than he.it's a backhanded compliment, but as good as hitworks 1 was (probably his best release) there was a funny story associated with it. maybe someone can use the internet archive to verify this, but hitworks studios had a page up in 99-2000-ish selling a few hundred copies of assassin's hitworks compilation for a penny each because "despite many phone calls he wouldn't come in to pick up these useless cds" or something to that effect. until then the cd was somewhat rare, but afterward it was on ebay daily.
i got "Hitworks volume 1" and i love it.got it @ some 2nd hand shop in germany (its a miracle, trust me, 80% people here dont know shit about rap.)
anyone have a link to Worldwide Game?mines scratched theres this one track on there, its Cougnut D-mac Assassin and a female rapper, its so gangstaCougnut raps first
