WoW! I had this tape and the one that just had the Ice Cube promos on it. They gave them away at Dr. J's, a convenient store back home in San Diego. I still wish I had these. The 90s was the truth.
This is real hip hop at its finest! I remeber when these commercial would come on 92.3 The Beat out here in L.A back in '94..... GOOD TIMES!! Would be trying to record them on a tape when I was at home when they would come on. I miss REAL HIP HOP
I'm going to go ahead and say that this whole tape is flame. Found it like 8 years ago and still come back to it. I remember when a few friends and I first tried St. Ides around that time. dope memories, can't find St. Ides anywhere anymore!
Damn I remember the summer of '94 i was getting ready to go in to the 10th grade. Couldn't find this tape anywhere. Had to get a dub from my homeboy. Damn I miss them days. kids these days just don't know
I'd drink a steady diet of 7 St Ides a day if it meant Hip Hop would go back to sounding like this.... Shit the production on the Wu snippet is better than 70% of shit today
Yeah, I had this tape in the lil black cover with the St. Ides logo on the front of it I think, the St. Ide's truck was makin' a delivery at the liquor store and saw me and my homeboys kickin' it and he passed out the tapes to us.
I remember hearing the wu tang song on raekwon Cuban linx lp on a skit as a kid n I was mad hype when I found this mystery song use to wreck my brain 😂😂
Im from Michigan, born and raised, but I cant front....the west coast G-Funk era was the dopest in rap hands down. Those laid back ass flows over those gangsta ass, ride-to track...ahhh, the good old days! RIP "real" rap
I remember these commercials coming on the radio late at night lol. The only one this tape is missing is the Biggie one over the “New York New York” beat
When you don't live in the US you ask yourself what that crazy joint in the intro part of Spot Rusherz is. And then you wish it was a whole song. I'm going back to the old days of Hip Hop almost every day when I'm in my car.
Man, Nate opened this clip up so right! Lol. Man, the west couldn't be touched. The things they did for rap are legendary! We used to be in Michigan DYING to get to cali!
the famous st. ides tape funny thing about these tapes is my pops got ahold of a full case of these 25 tapes use to bump them crazy back in the day, now i have the case with 15 tapes left. Im going to have to market these baby's im prolly the only one with a case of these wit covers and still got the plastic wrap on the last 15
I saw a G. I've seen it all. Dope describes my rhymes, making all you emcees cold drop like dimes. You know MCSC is back again, and battling me on the microphone is like committing a sin. KING MCSC
It's such a shame I can't buy me a cold 40 OZ of Ides anymore. I live in Des Moines, Iowa, and our state law prohibits any beer with an alcohol content of more than 6.0% percent to be sold. I guess I should move for that reason alone! LOL
hell yea!!! I have this tape in my hands right now! that snoop song was the best of them all!!! Mannnn my tape is all distorted and won't play because it's 23 years old! but I'm so happy I found this!!!!
Oh wait!!! I forgot about Nate Doggs song!!👏👏👏👏 I'm so fired up! haven't heard this in years!!! yea my top 2 was snoops opening one, and Nate Doggs commercial! Man whoever had this is a real OG! do u happen to have Ice Cubes 92.3 drop for Theo's 2-6 radio show in LA? If u have that....u are THEE MAN!!!
Shout out to TPN!! I'm from DownUnder... that's Australia for all y'all that didn't know.. I would never had heard that if wasn't for you. I really enjoyed that!! OneLove'n'much of it to ya. I'm looking forward to new Snoop dropping soon. Be ready for it. Good looking out. Keep up the good work!!... and all the Gz drink it!! Peace
I was too young to get St. Ides or the Special Brew so I got myself a Crooked I juice every day just to look like I was drinking alcohol! Can't beat the early and mid 90's!!
Kids, too! I loved the non-alcoholic pina colada ones and then started buying their alcoholic ones as soon as the corner store would sell them to me (at like...age 11? Crooked ass people running that store.) This ad campaign was right up there along Joe Camel for all time shadiest marketing of bad stuff to kids.
+Nathaniel Gay I was just thinking the same smh. I totally forgot about Crooked I. I used to kill the pina colada joints then starting drinking Special Brew when they came out. Rotten bastards lol
It’s absolutely crazy that this exists. All of these artists were at their peak and they make songs dedicated to a beer company for money 😂😂 I mean the tracks are on point but artistically this is pretty low, also not doing much positive for their communities. Saying that the wu track is better than anything on Wu-Tang Forever 😅😅

Some of these Snoop, Nate Dogg, Warren G tracks are a beautiful prime example of the beats in the G FUNK ERA! Some of the best West Coast beats ever!
+Jaime Terreforte II I SWEAR MY DUDE
Them shits still tight!..naver gets old
snoop and Warren g had the coolest tracks
JBMSTRIKER71 word
facts
JBMSTRIKER71 the best one is Biggie, then Snoop, then ,Nate Dogg
Jennie RedRose nah
The Wu Tang joint is sick, I listen to that over and over. I wish they would make a full length track with that beat.
I think Meth did the beat.
Nate and Warren G ripped this up
+850iStyle They all ripped it up
WoW! I had this tape and the one that just had the Ice Cube promos on it. They gave them away at Dr. J's, a convenient store back home in San Diego. I still wish I had these. The 90s was the truth.
Those joints was cold back in the day. Nas and AZ had a fly one together too!
Same here!
These were the days.
Whoa. I still have that tape too!!!
Smh. LoL.
They need to make full length versions of every song on here! Guaranteed certified platinum plus!
I have this tape right now. I love this. What a classic of all of their styles. Thanks for posting this. I love it! Until...
25 years later this tape is STILL jammin! #TilThisDay3Xs
These commercials were great. It sucks they were selling malt liquor to folks in the 'hood...but musically, I still love 'em!
If only all commercials were this good

+Tim Murphy a can
Damn I remember the summer of '94 i was getting ready to go in to the 10th grade. Couldn't find this tape anywhere. Had to get a dub from my homeboy. Damn I miss them days. kids these days just don't know
I'd drink a steady diet of 7 St Ides a day if it meant Hip Hop would go back to sounding like this.... Shit the production on the Wu snippet is better than 70% of shit today
I’d drink a steady 7 day diet of St. Ides if I could find it on a regular basis.👀
Yeah, I had this tape in the lil black cover with the St. Ides logo on the front of it I think, the St. Ide's truck was makin' a delivery at the liquor store and saw me and my homeboys kickin' it and he passed out the tapes to us.

DothollaMusic23 yep it came on before the song "Spot Rusherz".
@@PharoahsKingdom It feel hot at night and shit!
I miss this promo tape. Classic!!!!!!!!
The beat for Warren G's commercial was always a illest on the tape...I had this tape when I was middle school.
Im from Michigan, born and raised, but I cant front....the west coast G-Funk era was the dopest in rap hands down. Those laid back ass flows over those gangsta ass, ride-to track...ahhh, the good old days! RIP "real" rap
Great memories during this era! Thanks for the post!!!!
The 90's came and went toooo fast. A nigga getn old. LOL!!!
Was only bout a year old when this came out but I love this. Wu is my fav
Moses S Sorry
Wu-Tang had the best flow. West Coast G-Funk tore it up though
Never knew cassettes could sound this good o.o
I did my best back then transferring it to my PC from a Technics tape deck :O
TPN Well done bruh,much appreciated
I had that tape back in the day... I rocked it til it popped... That and "The Show" soundtrack
Daybo Franklin the showwwwwwww
I love the whole tape! But Wu-Tang murdered it! (my opinion!)
ERIC EPPS weak ass opinion
Nate Dogg was awesome simple hook
I remember these commercials coming on the radio late at night lol. The only one this tape is missing is the Biggie one over the “New York New York” beat
When you don't live in the US you ask yourself what that crazy joint in the intro part of Spot Rusherz is. And then you wish it was a whole song.
I'm going back to the old days of Hip Hop almost every day when I'm in my car.
I've been lookin for tis mixtape since 94. Damn it brought back some memories. DAMN GOOD MUSIC
snoop had one of the best flows back in the day, even though we all know what he obviously is
I remember hearing this shit and wanting to to try a st ides so bad but i wasnt old enuff... Classic
this whole tape is straight classic
I am sad that I threw this tape away about 3 years ago. =( Such good memories of these commercials playing on the BOX!
The comercial came on all the time on the BOX.
I MISSE THE 90's
94 was the.best year in hiphop imo
Still have mine...milk crate w/the rest of the good old shit!
Excellent re-up!
Dang. I remember a few of these commercials. Havent heard these tracks since mid 90s
By the way...THANK YOU for bringing up good memories of the times...alcohol aside...good memories of good times!
Mc eiht , ma chanson favorite de cette cassette.
Man, Nate opened this clip up so right! Lol. Man, the west couldn't be touched. The things they did for rap are legendary! We used to be in Michigan DYING to get to cali!

the famous st. ides tape funny thing about these tapes is my pops got ahold of a full case of these 25 tapes use to bump them crazy back in the day, now i have the case with 15 tapes left. Im going to have to market these baby's im prolly the only one with a case of these wit covers and still got the plastic wrap on the last 15
Had that tape... so rad
Good Spins on this 90's promotion ep for St.Ides.
Amazing stuff you have here. I remember the actual snoop commercial.
Ice Cube's song amazing. Wonder when the "Four Loko tape" is coming out? LOL
Now all we need is for Crooked I to drop a verse for Crooked I.
decades late though lol
This takes me back
Snoop and Nate Dogg steal the show on this tape. It's a great tape regardless!
WEST IN PEACE NATE!
NOTHING BUT LOVE FROM SERBIA!
the beat at 6:41 was used for nate dogg's " one more day" but somehow these songs should have been full length..
The Nate & Snoop Track is too fire
Warren G's beat was sick...real live bass!!
Man, I have this same tape!! I have it on the computer also, it's a classic mixtape!! I wanna say it's about 30 song on there...
aaaaaahh.....Saint Ides!!! (back in the day when rap was REAL)
Yeah the Wu Tang promo is fire forsure!
Scarface had the best track. Hands down!
classic RZA!!!
I saw a G.
I've seen it all.
Dope describes my rhymes, making all you emcees cold drop like dimes. You know MCSC is back again, and battling me on the microphone is like committing a sin.
KING MCSC
St. Ides: bringing West & East Coast cats together in the 90s :)
cause I don't like to dream about gettin paid $$
It's such a shame I can't buy me a cold 40 OZ of Ides anymore. I live in Des Moines, Iowa, and our state law prohibits any beer with an alcohol content of more than 6.0% percent to be sold. I guess I should move for that reason alone! LOL
@2113ChargersFan There is no question about your statement. Not opinion. Absolute fact! The production is amazing!
Snoop's part best part🙌
Wow. I stayed plaing this tape in high school. Drinking thier juice alternative 😆
High school classic for me!

If u have that....u are THEE MAN!!!
This is amazing. I had no idea this existed. 😎♥️
The beat to Warren G's commercial was fukkin bananas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“I’m smooth and subtle something like a St. Ides” sounds way cooler when snoop says it vs how it reads off my online dating profile
"YOU KNOW THE CAN IS BLACK!" Love St. Ides, it's a shame it is so hard to find here in Las Vegas, Nevada. RESPECT.
Yo this is better that any music today vote up if this is true
Shout out to TPN!! I'm from DownUnder... that's Australia for all y'all that didn't know.. I would never had heard that if wasn't for you. I really enjoyed that!! OneLove'n'much of it to ya. I'm looking forward to new Snoop dropping soon. Be ready for it. Good looking out. Keep up the good work!!... and all the Gz drink it!! Peace
I was too young to get St. Ides or the Special Brew so I got myself a Crooked I juice every day just to look like I was drinking alcohol! Can't beat the early and mid 90's!!
Dang St. Ides definitely know how market there sh!t back in the day.

You aint lying! Man, I miss the G-Funk so damn MUCH man! This shit I hear nowadays make me wanna rip my damn ears off the side of my head.
THANK YOU!
I wonder what this is going for on E-bay? LOL!
Fucking classic!
Still banging in 2023
So crazy how they were so willing to push malt liquor on the people hahaha - but it was ill!
Kids, too! I loved the non-alcoholic pina colada ones and then started buying their alcoholic ones as soon as the corner store would sell them to me (at like...age 11? Crooked ass people running that store.) This ad campaign was right up there along Joe Camel for all time shadiest marketing of bad stuff to kids.
+Nathaniel Gay I was just thinking the same smh. I totally forgot about Crooked I. I used to kill the pina colada joints then starting drinking Special Brew when they came out. Rotten bastards lol
Warren G beat goes hard.Snoop ripped it.
It’s absolutely crazy that this exists. All of these artists were at their peak and they make songs dedicated to a beer company for money 😂😂 I mean the tracks are on point but artistically this is pretty low, also not doing much positive for their communities. Saying that the wu track is better than anything on Wu-Tang Forever 😅😅
i cant get enough of that first song..."JUST HIT THE CORNER STORE.."
Classic
LOL I had this tape....it's probably lost in tape heaven....thanks for the post!!!
I woulda never thought I would hear this again! My cousin got a hold of this tape from God knows where
Awesome.
