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.

Vocals from ‘Gazzillion Ear Acapella’ by MF DOOM

This flip took a while to get right, I was trying to be more creative with the way I flipped the sample. It was crazy on it’s own (and I kept longer chops to use with the vocal flip that comes in second), but for the main flip I wanted to make a melody from chops in-between the vocals, which is always fun and gives the beat a very different vibe to the original sample. It also took a long time to layer both the flips I made, but I'm definitely glad I persevered with it.

I felt like the finished beat ended up having a cartoonish vibe with an upbeat melody, so I immediately went to DOOM acapellas which I thought could fit over it. I chose Gazzillion Ear because DOOM is really having fun on that one, loads of cool punchlines different flows and switchups, which I thought would work well here. It just feels like the kind of beat made for an emcee to show skills over without being too serious, just demonstrate some lyrical skill and technical flows. It was long to get the acapella to fit over the beat though cause of how abstract and varied the flows are, so I had to chop it up into loads of different pieces (basically for every line), just to get it to fit in the right places over this beat. I think it was worth it though, I can’t really imagine many other artists over this kind of beat, and I always love remixing DOOM.

Hope people enjoy this one, thank you for listening! Peace

I've tried making an Ocarina of Time remix tape so many times. Then every time I go back and re listen to them I always think how much more I could have done with the songs. I'll probably do the same thing with this tape too but I think it does have its own unique spin.

Tried to make the songs as different from every other remix of Ocarina of Time out there. My goal would be for someone to click this thinking it's just another lofi beat tape that countless others, including myself, have done before BUT come out of it thinking "Wtf is this but why is it kinda tight"

I mashed a ton of different genres in here so if you've been following my stuff there will be something on here for you.

I really do have a genuine love for this soundtrack. Running around in this game aimlessly was one of my introductions to music. So that's why I feel the need to redo songs from this all the time.
