DJ Clue "The Ruler's Back, Part 1" (Mixtape, 1999)


DJ Clue was on top of the world in the mixtape game at the time, this is 1999's The Ruler's Back, Part One. Clue dropped the tape through Tape Kingz and it features tracks from The Notorious B.I.G., Puff Daddy, Lil' Kim, Ja Rule, Lil' Cease, Mobb Deep, Half-A-Mil, Cam'ron, 50 Cent, The Lox, Nature, Noreaga, Ali Vegas, Eminem and more. This tape had 50's How To Rob on it and it went bonkers at the time. It was also basically a marketing tool for Puff and Bad Boy Records, you'll hear half the tape is Bad Boy artists. Lowkey, I still remember thinking people slept on that Lil' Cease album at the time, although I haven't really revisited it in forever. Listen to The Ruler's Back below...
