Hip-Hop BIF - Incoming
I received the incoming leg of a new BIF I am in yesterday, the Hip-Hop BIF.
This BIFs theme, for lack of a better term, was hoppy beers and hip-hop music. Each person was to ship at least 144oz of hoppy beer and a hip-hop mix CD. I’m all about hoppy beers and I like some hip-hop (1990 and earlier preferred), so I decided to take a gamble on the music in order to get some hoppy love, and it was totally worth it. This is the 214oz of hoppy goodness wrapped up in 13 beers I received:
Boulevard - Double-Wide IPA - 750ml
Southern Tier - Back Burner Barleywine - 22oz
Bear Republic - Hop Rod Rye - 22oz
Sierra Nevada - Southern Hemisphere Harvest Fresh Hop Ale - 24oz
Terrapin - Big Hoppy Monster 2007 - 12oz
Bell’s - HopSlam - 12oz
Samuel Adams - Hallertau Imperial Pilsner - 12oz
Troegs - Nugget Nectar - 12oz
Tyranena - Hop Whore IIPA - 12oz
Surly - Furious - 16oz
Surly - Cynicale - 16oz
Surly - Surly Fest - 16oz
Surly - Bitter Brewer - 16oz
And this is what was on the CD, named (by him) “Hip Hop BIF - PitMonkey’s Pretty Lame Hip Hop CD”:
The Gourds - Gin and Juice
The Go! Team - Grip Like a Vice
50 Cent feat Snoop Dogg, Don Magic Juan - P.I.M.P (RMX)
Sultana Erkez - Big City
Busta Rhymes - Turn It Up
Everlast - Get Down
The Go! Team and Chuck D - Flashlight Fight
Wookiefoot - Nothing
Kid Rock - Roving Ganster (rollin)
Beastie Boys - High Plains Drifter
RATM and Cypress Hill - How I Could Just Kill a Man (live)
Wookiefoot - John Henry
Big Tymers - Oh yeah
Sultana erkez - Pek Yaman
Beck - Hotwax
Wookiefoot - Can’t Get a Job
Really, for me, this isn’t all that bad of a hip-hop CD. Sure, I don’t know half the songs, but I do know half the artists and none of them really fall into the hip-hop style I don’t like. So it looks like I have some new music to listen to. I should be sending out my leg Monday or Tuesday and I’ll put up another post of what goes out.

The Gourds - Gin and Juice - Easily one of my favorite songs. Nothing gets me singing at the top of my lungs like this one.
Awesome score on the beer too! That is one great selection.
