This is one of those really rare finds that Wu fans can thank the internet for. Right here’s a Side A / Side B rip of the Mystagogue Vol. 2 cassette that came inside sealed issues of Slap skateboard magazine back in 1996. The cassette / Slap promo was only available at skate shops and was meant to act as a hype tool for the Wu skate team. The file hit about every blog a few years back but a big number of the links have gone dead. Here it is for everybody a 3rd time around. It’s those raw RZA beats you know & love mixed with some jazzy instrumentals and lots of great scratching. The intro is classic too.
One of the best downloads to hit this site. Here’s a 1996 mix from Kool Kirk featuring a Meth side (vs) a Chef side which consist of remixes, classics and Wu blends exclusive to this tape. “Riddler” b/w “Big Poppa” is reason enough right there!

On the heels of dropping his fourth LP, Inspectah Deck is also readying the release of his first instrumental album. Unknown to most, Deck has been making beats and hits for over 15 years now, first learning how to piece tracks together from his group’s mastermind The RZA, and crew affiliates DJ Mathematics and True Master. Deck soon started experimenting and his efforts showed enough promise to make him an official member of the original almighty production team and collective known as Wu-elements, alongside The RZA, 4th Disciple, True Master, and Mathematics. From then on we saw him gradually placing his beats on just about every Wu-Tang release from his fellow clansmen except the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard, including songs for Ghostface’s “Supreme Clientele”, Method Man’s “Tical” and RZA’s “Bobby Digital in Stereo”, along with his own solo albums and outsides projects such as the “Tales from the hood”soundtrack and lately his new protege Fes Taylor.
Another mixtape released by Think Differently Music collecting classics, rare cuts, live tracks & exclusives.
Mix also includes GZA verses off Mathematics beats including “Wu Banga 101,” “Rush” & “High Price Small Reward”
