The legendary DJ Doo Wop is prepping an as yet unnamed blend tape for release sometime next week.

“Next week i’m smashing the game with this Blend mixtape…..Biggie, Jay Z & Nas rhyming over nothing but 80′s music……stay tuned children!”

This blend is cool, not really anything special, but nonetheless, Doo Wop is one of the only DJ’s alive who can announce a project like this in 2011 and make me give a shit.

Spotted: 238Beats. Also, be sure to hit the jump for the latest Doo Wop and The Bounce Squad mixtape, It’s Always Sunny in New York City.

Swizz Beatz, with the help of DJ Runna, blended some of his biggest hits with seven Fela Kuti songs. Surprisingly, the “Money In The Bank” and “Get Me Bodied” mash-ups aren’t that bad.

Miss Info got word on Mick Boogie’s Southernplayalisticmaybachmusic mash-up mixtape that drops tomorrow.

As you can probably tell from the title, it’ll have Big Boi on Ross songs like “Super High” and Ross on Big Boi classics like “Player’s Ball” and newer tracks too like “Shine Blockers”.

The inspiration for the project most likely came from Rozay’s mention on the “Window Seat” remix.

The Blue Scholars re-imagine Owl City’s “Fireflies”.

” Sampling a track that took its style from another track was, well, our version of being forward. Futuristic, if you will. Going with the theme that ‘The Future is not what it used to be’, it inspired us to create a video montage of the song – a visual remix.”
