XV ft. Donny Goines - Funeral of the Tape Deck

Contributed by M. Burmy

Listen to More: Midwest, Northeast, Unreleased, Collaborations

There are quite a few ways for listeners to get their music “fix” nowadays, ranging from traditional means like radio, CDs and once-in-a-blue-moon music videos on BET or MTV to newer sensations like satellite radio, mp3 players and DJBooth.net.  One form, however, that seems to have gone the way of the dinosaur is the cassette tape.  In honor of its passing, Kansas rapper XV is gathering us all together to pay our final respects and share memories at the Funeral of the Tape Deck.  As guest eulogist Donny Goines waxes nostalgic about the ‘80s hip hop scene, DJ Premier plays a hymn in the background reminiscent of early-‘90s Mobb Deep.  While he is a futuristic-minded emcee, he clearly hasn’t forgotten where he came from.  Funeral of the Tape Deck is from the 11th morning of XV’s 40 Days, 40 Nights series.

This song has a wonderful production, it's smooth and sexy and the piano sounds excellent! XV and Donny Goines are good, I agree with you all! It's not my type of song but it deserves 3,5 stars from me

XV has really been making an impression on me. I think the concept of the song is cool and flow always holds my attention.

I miss tapes. I used to record off the radio (who didn't?) and make REAL mixtapes. Haha. XV keeps on impressing me.

Ok, lets face it, I cnan guarantee alot of you have over-rated this song just because of the old school beat, and the way they flow on here, but this song isn't a "Great" song, IMO its not even a good song.. i like the way he's trying to get into his music and everything, but Funeral of the Tape Deck? and the last few songs ive heard from XV all have this old school beat to it, as well as the flow, and this is the new age, he better step up his game or hes gonna get left behind before he really even get in..

They're flows are sick. Not feeling the pianos on the beat, kinda ruined it for me.

Man! DJ Premier snapped on this production. This is some mad ill vintage sounding ish! This is a classic. WOW:) and others who are new school addicts, you're not going to like it. That's just it. You're not. You don't understand the original culture of hip hop. This is how it sounded before the Soulja Boys or all the new poppy sounding rap. It's nothing wrong with you liking that new stuff, but you're missing out on the nostalgia of the old joints. That's really too bad. 15 years ago...this was hip hop. Without this type of stuff, everything new wouldn't be possible. Just remember that the next time you choose to disregard some classic sounding hip hop music. That's just my two cents...and then some.

I knew that piano sounded familiar. I like this song, great work for both artist and producer. DJ Premier makes the production solid and XV just did his thing.

As always, I have to get on the booth and show my appreciation to those who have commented and rated the song, good or bad. I appreciate ppl just taking TIME out to listen to my music and give an opinion on it. Kayleb, you must not have heard "High Five" or "U Got It" or "Everything Is Cool" on DJBooth, because I RARELY rap over boom-bap beats like this one.

And WOW:) I thought you would've gave up on me A LONG TIME ago. LMAOOOO. But I appreciate that you continue to try. But, I definitely don't fit your style of music. But thanks to everybody and much love to Brian "Z" for dropping it on the site.
