Emotionally Stunted

Instrumental: https://soundcloud.com/tapeheadloops/frogs-instrumental

Been wanting to remix this track for a long time now, but never been able to get a clean sounding acapella. Luckily audio splitters have gotten way way better now, even the free ones: I've been using one called 'Splitter AI' which has been a real game changer. 

Always look forward to this track whenever I listen to Operation Doomsday, such a dope vibe and every emcee brings their own style. Has such a rugged underground energy, feels like a cypher track almost, I don't know why but the verse from Kamackeris always gets me gassed, especially those first 4 lines. I knew if I was ever going to remix this track it would need a certain type of beat, and when I flipped this one I had a feeling it was a good fit for that rugged underground cypher vibe. All the flows fit mad nice over the beat, defo happy with this one. 

For the visuals on my YouTube ( https://youtu.be/htpHPGov_sk ) I mostly used clips from the old Godzilla movies showing each character that the emcees are rapping as: King Caesar, Rodan, Megalon, Kamackeris, King Ghidorah and Kong. I've always found it interesting how deep they went into the lore and characters of those old movies, never actually seen a single Godzilla movie personally. I've always rated the idea of rapping under mad different aliases, obviously DOOM is here rapping as King Gheedorah, but you've also got Mr Fantastik here, I think he's rapping as Rodan. Also for anyone who hasn't heard of it, I defo recommend giving the full album by Monsta Island Czars a listen: 'Escape From Monsta Island' - some of the grimiest underground hip hop both the beats and the flows, crazy stuff. Will defo be looking to remix some tracks from that when I make another beat with this sort of vibe. 

Thanks for listening, any feedback let me know. Personally I can't decide whether the 3rd or 4th verse goes the hardest. Peace!!

I actually put this remix together before making 'Ladies' - after dropping that it made me put this one on the shelf for so long cause I was so happy with how that one turned out.

I do like this one as a short remix though, goes for more of a rugged vibe. Also if this beat sounds familiar I have dropped it before: pitched it down for this version though.

Peace

I can't lie I used to overlook this track a bit on my first few listens of Hell On Earth, but now it really stands out. The original beat is so atmospheric: went for a different kind of sound cause I don't think you can outdo the grimey energy of havocs beat. He was going absolutely crazy on Hell On Earth too: I think that album is defo a step up in terms of production when compared to The Infamous. Every track with Nas and Mobb Deep on each of their albums is always crazy, defo got to remix them all eventually: got one in the works for Eye for an Eye which should be ready for next week.

Thanks for listening.

I can't even decide between Exhibit A and C, to me they're both absolute classics. I'll always remember when both those tracks dropped, I was in school and me and my friend were bugging out over it for like a whole year: still one of the hardest songs I've ever heard tbh the verses are absolutely ridiculous to this day. Was completely blown away by it I'd never heard anything like it before back then - really opened my eyes to the fact that crazy hip hop was being made in the present day. I remember how motivated they got me, the energy from the tracks is just different, crazy contagious.

Never even thought I'd remix this one but as soon as I'd finished this beat I knew I'd need a powerful acapella to go over it, and immediately thought of this track. Defo very different to the OG and a lot faster too: I just thought it was a good fit: gives a different kind of energy to the lyrics. I really lost my mind over this one a couple times throughout the week: really happy with this beat and to remix such a classic over it really levelled it up crazily for me. Let me know what you think of this one, thanks for listening (and reading)! Peace
