Nas/Big Noyd Remix: https://soundcloud.com/tapeheadloops/everybody

When I was making this remix I had a bit of trouble with the acapella, but now coming back to just the beat I'm actually really happy with how it sounds, got a nice full weight to it especially the drums and the bass in the sample. Can defo see this one being good to freestyle to, simple but effective in the vibe.

Layered up the sample quite a lot to give the beat that fat sound, got a laid back jazzy kind of feel whilst still fitting the rugged East Coast vibe. I took clips from Style Wars and Wild Style, in my opinion two of the best films that document hip hop culture in the 80s. I thought it fit well with this beat cause again it has that really old school vibe, and thought the visuals complimented the beat pretty well. 

Peace, thanks for listening!!

Everybody

Such crazy verses from DMX, he really poured his heart out on this track in a real way. I was originally tryna remix 'Slow Down' by Brand Nubian over this beat, but couldn't get a good enough sounding acapella for it to work. I decided to keep the hook though cause I thought it fit well with the DMX vocals and overall sound of the track. Hope people enjoy this one, I feel like it's a bit out there but the beat and the acapella went well to me in terms of rhythm and emotion, which are defo two of the most important things for me when it comes to making remixes. 

Peace and thanks for listening!

Who We Be(Slow Down)

Thought the title fit well here, the flow of the beat fit well with the flow of the acapella imo. Always loved this track since I heard it dropped on a Stretch & Bobbito show, such a cool feature from Jeru on the record, his intros and outros to the track have a real dope vibe it's hard to pin point why but they just give the track a lot more flavour to me. Hope people like the vibe of this remix, very different to the original: I also left out the first verse cause that has a bit more of serious vibe which I didn't think fit the carefree style of this beat.

Yo, step right up, the circus is here, Politicians juggling lies, year after year. Masters of spin, they dance and sway, But we’re here to roast them, blow them away.

Yo, they sit in their suits, all polished and neat, But can’t find the truth beneath their seat. Promises made, then tossed in the bin, Campaign trails paved with original sin.

They talk about change, they talk about hope, But when it gets tough, they can’t cope. Yo, they’re stuck in the past, stone-age grind, Leading the blind while they’re losing their mind.

Yo, shuffle, shuffle, dodge and weave, Politicians’ dance, it’s hard to believe. Talk the talk, but they don’t walk, Masters of spin, they love to balk.

Yo, they gather in summits, all smiles and grins, But behind closed doors, the chaos begins. Debating the climate while jets take flight, Saving the world? Nah, not tonight.

They argue and bicker, they point and blame, But the people suffer, it’s all the same. Yo, they’re playing chess with the world’s fate, While we’re stuck waiting, it’s checkmate.

Yo, the people rise, the truth is clear, We’re done with the lies, we’re done with the fear. Carbon and silicon, the future’s bright, While politicians stumble in the night.

They cling to power, they cling to gold, But the future’s ours, the story’s bold. Yo, the roast is hot, the fire’s alive, Politicians beware, the people thrive.

Yo, shuffle, shuffle, dodge and weave, Politicians’ dance, it’s hard to believe. Talk the talk, but they don’t walk, Masters of spin, they love to balk.

Yo, the roast is done, the truth’s been served, Politicians squirm, they got what they deserved. The people rise, the future’s clear, Carbon and silicon, the new frontier.

So laugh it up, let the truth ignite, The stone age ends, step into the light. Politicians roasted, the people ascend, This is the anthem, the story won’t end.
