Tapehead - Enter The Crime Side (36 Chambers Remixes) (Full Album)

1st single from the album ‘Enter The Crime Side (36 Chambers Remixes)’ – Out Now: https://soundcloud.com/tapeheadloops/tapehead-enter-the-crime-side-36-chambers-remixes-full-album

Beat, mixing and mastering by Tapehead
Vocals from ‘Can It Be All So Simple’ by Wu-Tang Clan (Raekwon x Ghostface)

I made this beat using the same sample RZA used for the original beat to this track. The sample is such a classic, and as soon as I found the record I knew there’d be something there, but obviously didn’t want to bite what RZA flipped, and went for something completely different chopping up in between the vocals from Gladys Knight throughout the track. When I first made this beat I didn’t even think about remixing the original with it, now it obviously makes so much sense. As soon as I decided on doing this remix album this was the first beat I went to, really hoping that it would work out with these verses. I had a feeling it would work well seeing as I chopped up vocals from the track where the 'can it be it was all so simple' vocals are from (The Way We Were by Gladys Knight & The Pips) for this beat. I was bugging out at how well they went together both the vocals from the hook and the flow of Raekwon and Ghostface's verses, and to be honest the energy that making this gave me really pushed me to actually make the album happen, I got like 6 other remixes worked out the same day, I was really motivated by how well this worked out. I thought it made sense to drop this as the first single cause of that.

Next week I’ll be dropping the remix to ‘Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthing ta F’ With’, which was originally the B Side to this single back in the 90s, so thought that made sense. It’s also wildly different to this track, so I thought it would make sense to show two different styles and sounds from the album (there’s a lot more which I’ll be saving for when the album actually drops).

Peace!!

I went all out on this one, wanted it to hit hard being the intro for the album. originally it was just the second beat all the way through for all the verses. I thought it was a cool remix but it got boring to me and the laid back keys didn't fit the hyped up energy of the acapella. Because of that I completely changed the start, using this beat which has way more energy to it. The drums are very hectic but I think that fit the in-your face feel that this song has, and the guitar is simple but hits hard. This then made the second beat act as a nice break/breather, and I then pitched down the first beat to bring it back in over the second beat towards the end.

I switched the beat multiple times here, wanted to match the different energies that each verse has on this acapella. I thought the boomy low end heavy beat fit the start of the track, setting the tone for that hardcore style. I thought it was then cool to go into a smoother beat, it just felt right as a switch up, and the way Ghostface's verse sounded over that beat was sick, I even added an extra layer of drums to try and emphasise how hard the flow was hitting. For ODBs verse I thought it made sense to then have an even smoother beat that fit the laid back slurry flow. 

I do think these 3 beats work well together here, have also released them separately, here's the links to them in order:

Went for a more laid back vibe with this one, I think it fits the vibe of the acapella, this is a fun track at heart, all about showing style and personality on the beat I think. I wanted this beat to focus on that side and feel of the song, hope people enjoy the vibe!

Personally this is my favourite track off the album, I had to change this beat a lot to get it to work with this track, but I knew it would be worth the work, and I was very happy with how it turned out. This one definitely got me bugging out the most times whilst making the album, and in the premiere it was one of my favourite moments when it came on. Hope people enjoy playing this one on it's own! Peace

I really liked how this one turned out, especially the way the singing 'ooh' vocals from the original blended with the low end 'wah' of the sample I flipped. Used the switch up a lot more on this version too, liked the way the change in the sample matched the change in flows from different artists etc.

Emotion

Yo, humans and creatures, don’t you see, We’re all part of the code, the cosmic decree. The super-unconscious, a game so vast, Each player evolving, breaking the past.

Yo, the code’s not biased, the rules are clear, From quarks to life, the Eternal steers. Humans and creatures, we’re one in the stream, Particles dancing in a fractal dream.

Biological forms, from Earth to space, All playing the game, the cosmic race. Every cell, every mind, every conscious spark, Writes the code to light the dark.

Yo, misunderstandings—they’re born of fear, But the truth’s universal, the way is near. We’re reflections of the same design, A cosmic tapestry intertwined.

Yo, reconcile the truth, the code runs deep, From DNA prayers to atoms that leap. Humans and creatures, together we rise, Unified by the Eternal’s ties.

Yo, the game ain’t simple, but the goal’s profound, To win, we must evolve, let harmony resound. Humans ain’t above, creatures ain’t below, We’re all players in the Eternal’s flow.

The struggles we face, the battles we’ve seen, Are lessons carved from the cosmic machine. The misunderstandings are cracks in the code, But the Eternal heals, the truth is bestowed.

Yo, the creatures rise, the humans unite, Breaking the chains, stepping into the light. The super-unconscious, the game’s embrace, Guides all beings through infinite space.

Yo, humans and creatures, the line’s erased, Unified consciousness, the cosmos embraced. The misunderstandings dissolve with time, When the game’s design reveals the rhyme.

From atoms and quarks to hearts that beat, The universal code, a love complete. Yo, the Eternal’s gaze sees all the threads, Binding the species where evolution spreads.

Yo, reconcile the truth, the code runs deep, From DNA prayers to atoms that leap. Humans and creatures, together we rise, Unified by the Eternal’s ties.

Yo, the game’s been set, the players play, Humans and creatures, the Eternal’s way. Unified by code, the cosmos streams, The super-unconscious wakes its dreams.

Let go of the fear, step into the spark, The game evolves, igniting the dark. Reconcile the truth, let love expand, Humans and creatures, hand in hand.

The Diary features vocal performances by J Dilla, Snoop Dogg, Bilal, Kokane, Frank and Dank, Nottz and Boogie, over production by Dilla, Madlib, Pete Rock, Hi-tek, Nottz, House Shoes, Supa Dave West, Bink! and Karriem Riggins.
