MF Doom – My Favorite Ladies (Equal Remix)
I’ve never heard the original, unfortunately, but I’d be impressed if it’s as good as this remix. Capturing the crunchy drums and jazzy essence of much of Doom’s work (thanks mostly to Madlib, I’m guessing), Equal’s version of “My Favorite Ladies” is impressive. Doom’s verses are surprisingly coherent, too, and possess a rare emotional salience: […]

Travis Barker in the remix – Los Angeles Times
The Los Angeles Times has a little piece on Travis Barker’s new gig. For those of you who don’t know/remember him, Barker was once the drummer of Blink 182. I know, tons of street cred, right? But seriously. He’s always been a talented drummer and recently has gained some notoriety for having survived a plane […]
Cadence Weapon vs. Radiohead and Britney Spears gets indie-fied

215hiphop Provides Remix Madness
Recently, several of the producers affiliated with 215hiphop.com released Beats & Rhymes: The Remixes. Featuring remixes of some absolute classic, this album is ambitious but inconsistent: a number of the tracks are outstanding, while others are below par. The “Billie Jean” remix, though, is definitely worth the download on its own. Check it out below, and […]
