Vocals from ‘Passin’ Me By Acapella’ by The Pharcyde

The first time I heard this track was on a Stretch and Bobbito show from ’92, where Stretch blended this acapella over the beat to ‘Bonita Applebum’ by A Tribe Called Quest. Straight away back then I knew this was a crazy acapella, because it sounded absolutely mad over that beat. Both originals are great, but the fact that this acapella fit so well over a Tribe beat made me know it was on a high level both rhythmically and in terms of the delivery and tone of the whole track. This is my first time remixing this acapella, and I definitely won’t be doing it again for a while, I can’t believe how well it fits over this beat. 

It’s always fun to make a beat like this, the chops are all in-between vocals, so there’s a real nice quality to how they then mesh together, with the start and end of the vocals sometimes leaking into the chops. I took chops from two versions of a similar melody, one toward the start of the song where the singer is accompanied by piano keys, and a later version when some strings come in on top of the piano as the verse builds up. I chopped each version of the melody up into similar pieces, and then combined them together into a 4 bar where I was trying to take the best of each, and create something that built in the same way the original song did, just in a much more compact melody. Because the beat was made using a love song, I had a feeling that the Pharcyde acapella might work over it. It’s just always a gamble about whether the key of the sample will match the key of an acapella like this, and I’m just too glad it matched it perfectly. 

Because of how well the acapella fit the sample I was determined to go hard on the drums, I really wanted them to have that hardcore feel without overpowering the sample, so I kept them punchy and hard hitting. I added this kick layered with some kind of wood block sound, which reminded me of the sample from the original track, which I think helps make this remix more convincing. Also, these verses are so jokes to me, the acapella has this mad infectious vibe: it’s such a relatable track which has fully stood the test of time, timeless really. I hope people enjoy this one, I’ve been bugging out over it all week.
