Back in the late 90's I was copping mixtapes like it was an addiction. DJ Juice, Kool Mic Ski, E-Kim, and a ton of other DJs. There was this one mix tape though that was like a collection of the Mix Tape Allstars: The Five Deadly Venoms of Brooklyn.
The tape was split up into five parts, each part done by a different dj: Tony Touch, P.F. Cuttin', Mister Cee, Evil Dee and Primo. To be honest, the songs each dj put into their part of the tape didn't quite measure up to the stuff they were putting out on their solo mixtapes, but it was still pretty damn hot.
My favorite part of the mixtape, by far, was the intro. It had a beat from a kung fu flick. I'm pretty sure the sample came from the actual Five Deadly Venoms movie, but I could be wrong about that. The rest of the mixtape had audio clips from the movie introducing each dj as a different venom.
The beat on the intro is crazy. If anyone has a clear sample of it without the effects and voiceovers, please hit me up! I know there is a clean sample out there somewhere, because a few months after this mixtape came out, I heard a McGruff freestyle over the beat. McGruff was a Harlem rapper who got some shine for about 30 seconds back in '98, for those of you wondering...
Here is the full intro to the Five Deadly Venoms of Brooklyn (mp3). Enjoy!
