well i had to pick 'best' or 'worst' so

unicorn strapped with a unabomb (deej), Tuesday, 8 December 2009 03:39 (sixteen years ago)

i do like how the el-p one sounds like an awkward bangladesh beat

unicorn strapped with a unabomb (deej), Tuesday, 8 December 2009 03:41 (sixteen years ago)

whats the point of a remix of 'dey know'

unicorn strapped with a unabomb (deej), Tuesday, 8 December 2009 03:43 (sixteen years ago)

the "lost" remix is pretty good

i won't listen but that is a ridiculous juxtaposition

licki mivaj (surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally), Tuesday, 8 December 2009 04:03 (sixteen years ago)

it's not one of the worst tho'

ianmaxwell, Tuesday, 8 December 2009 15:41 (sixteen years ago)

they actually let leave the rap intact, as opposed to some of the others who fuck with the verses way too much imo

ianmaxwell, Tuesday, 8 December 2009 15:43 (sixteen years ago)

kinda get the impression they properly like rap. would listen to more of this.

ianmaxwell, Tuesday, 8 December 2009 15:44 (sixteen years ago)

i like that cee-lo/dabrye track.

indie producer remixing mainstream rap single is usually a successful formula imo--they bring cool noises to the song, but usually don't overwhelm it with their unbearably corny aesthetic b/c it's not their song. some of these guys are complete b.s. obv (dabrye, prefuse now, health lol), but i can't really imagine flying lotus or hudson mohawke or dam-funk making anything shitty

balearific, Tuesday, 8 December 2009 19:26 (sixteen years ago)

actually ok this sounds pretty much just bad. do like the flying lotus a lot though. don't see the dam-funk one

balearific, Tuesday, 8 December 2009 19:48 (sixteen years ago)

im listening thru now & actually kind of enjoying a lot of this lol

jeezy & el-p are both really appropriate for some reason, like both are middleweights who somehow managed to succeed in a heavyweight arena

unicorn strapped with a unabomb (deej), Friday, 11 December 2009 00:12 (sixteen years ago)

in their respective scenes

i think it turns out that the photo shoot rmx is actually my least favorite -- like its so tone-deaf to the mood of his rapping that it really grates but like ... im actually starting to enjoy a fair amount of this. the lil jon rmx is a solid dance track. where's moonship to back me up here

unicorn strapped with a unabomb (deej), Friday, 11 December 2009 00:23 (sixteen years ago)

i think part of me is like, if im gonna spend time pushing southern street rap @ flying lotus fans then this is the kind of end result i should be happy w/ right? like, ppl are taking these guys seriously as rappers, instead of relying on the safe & boring ones (part of why im not feeling the prefuse track is, dude, shawty lo?)

unicorn strapped with a unabomb (deej), Friday, 11 December 2009 00:29 (sixteen years ago)

there are some really good remixer names on that! starkey, dâm-funk, salem and drums of death are the ones i'd actively look forward to. never heard of michna but "take off" is the kind of song which would be perfect for this kind of remix. i tried to d/l the mixtape yesterday though and it crashed on me.

Is it just taboo to come out and say most of Flying Lotus' stuff sucks? It's almost as formulaic as Prefuse 73 and not nearly as listenable. I don't know, my days of trying to overwhelm my consciousness with all-consuming bass are behind me. At least Dabrye branches out a little bit, not that I necessarily like the branch he's out on here. Never heard of Starkey before but I think his mix is the best of the lot. Of course I've also gotten to the point where the lyrics in most commercial hip hop are laughable to me.

three weeks pass...

what the hell is this pfork review talking about

But even when ATL RMX fails, it represents a discussion worth having-- though OJ Da Juiceman getting booed at a CMJ showcase served as a flashpoint, it was less "OutKast gets booed at the Source Awards" than "Philadelphia Eagles fans boo Santa Claus," an understandable reaction (it was a skinny, poorly dressed Santa/I didn't hear Pill or Curren$y getting booed) with understandable timing (the Eagles were blowing a chance to get the #1 pick, oddly enough, O.J. Simpson/it was hours into a rap show running impossibly late on a Wednesday night) that made an audience with an already hostile rep look irreparably bad. No one comes out looking good, especially in the wake where sides are too easily taken, when hip-hop is considered a zero-sum game where only one region or mindset can be "right" and enjoyed only for the right "reasons." But is it worthwhile at all to wonder if Scott Herren enjoys Shawty Lo "legitimately" or whether it's "correct" to finally give Gucci Mane a shot only because he's being remixed by Flying Lotus (or vice versa)? Hell, most of hip-hop listening these days seems to revolve around conversation anyway, so let's keep it going. Maybe next time we'll hear DOOM over some Zaytoven beats.
