I want to live in a world where social media celebrity shitheads shill for Young Jr’s Bird Walk rather than those two boring songs by Young Slo-Be.
Thinking about what the first great Rap remix was and my pick would be BDP’s Remix For P Is Free. It’s the first remix which is both significantly different and significantly better than the original innit. Pretty impressive when you consider how bad most Rap/Reggae hybrids tend to be.
People often refer to Mac J as Bris’ sidekick but look back at old videos like Difference and it’s Bris who is Mac J’s little homie. Bris just happened to have a song blow up before Mac.
Never trust any DJ who plays the College Dropout version of Slow Jamz with the stupid added orchestral breakdown rather than the single version from Twista’s album which was the big hit. KanYe Pest: ruining his own music with delusions of artistic grandeur since 2004.
You know what song really should have been on Ego Trip’s The Big Playback compilation? Scuffin’ Those Knees by The New Style AKA the 1989 single by Treach, Vin Rock & Kay Gee before they changed their name to Naughty By Nature.
Tired: I Can’t Feel My Face by Lil’ Wayne. Wired: Find My Legs by Yuno Miles.
The two best songs to come out on Def Jux are Hold The Floor by Camu Tao and Murs Iz My Manager by Mr. Lif & Murs, and it’s no coincidence that both songs contain zero musical contribution from El-P. Sincere rest in peace to Camu – we’ll always have the time you chinned Copywrite.
