Long Gone

Beat, mixing and mastering by Tapehead
Vocals from ‘Daytona 500 Acapella’ by Ghostface Killah, Cappadonna and Raekwon

Visuals: https://youtu.be/N88__JurYFM

It was crazy when I made this beat, didn’t even remix anything over it for ages, was just mad content with the overall vibe and way I’d chopped the sample. When I first put this acapella over it I had Raekwon’s verse at the start, and then Ghostface second, and I left out Cappadonna’s verse. ( https://soundcloud.com/tapeheadloops/mac-knowledge-knowledges  ) Back when I made that I knew that Ghostface sounded best over the first beat, the flow was perfect and his style fit all the beat cuts perfectly, so for this I had him at the start to bring that energy to the track as soon as the sample comes in properly. I didn’t use Cappadonna’s verse before cause I didn’t know how to reduce resonance in vocals back then, so it was dope to get his verse over the beat cause it matches it well I think. For Raekwon’s verse I decided to switch it up and rework a really old remix, which had him over a grimier sounding beat which I always thought fit his style really well. ( https://soundcloud.com/tapeheadloops/street-astrologists ) Since then I’ve got the drums sounding way better, and managed to blend the beat with another one I made ( https://soundcloud.com/tapeheadloops/time-1 ), so it’s dope to have properly executed that idea and have a complete remix of this song down, it’s definitely a classic from one of my favourite (and underrated I think) Wu solo albums. I always rated the carefree but focused vibe of this track, all the emcees are really showcasing their skills, so I wanted to build on that whole effortless/flying vibe that you can get from skill focused lyrics like this. Cause of that I thought it made perfect sense to use Iron Man visuals with this, cause of Ghostface adopting that as an alias and you hear references in his lyrics here, the album also being named Ironman, and the fact that the flying cartoon visuals fit the vibe of this beat really well.

Peace!

I tried to go all out when I made this beat: I chopped this sample into second by second pieces so I could flip it any way I wanted, pitched it way down on the turntable too to really bring out the low end and give it a fat/warm sound. Cause of that I decided to use these drums from the Get Out Of My Life Woman break, definitely one of my favourites, especially the way MF DOOM used them in Gas Drawls, they defo have a real nice presence to them, and I did layer other drums too that add weight to the mix. There were so many sample chops and drum layers I actually filled up all 64 pads on the MPC, so I had to work out exactly what I wanted to use for my flips and sequences so I could delete sounds to then chop up different parts of the sample to layer ontop. I added vocals and extra piano chops which got me way too gassed, especially the way they came in at the end of the remix.

Really hope people enjoy the vibe of this, Peace!

Reputation (Instrumental)

Beat, mixing and mastering by Tapehead
Vocals from ‘Changes Acapella’ by 2pac

Visuals: https://youtu.be/UiqhoAIAk_s

When I made this beat I knew I was going to use the ‘change’ vocals from the sample, so once it was finished I immediately thought about putting this acapella from Tupac over it as a remix. I think it turned out nice, very very different to the original which is always dope to me. I did have to alter the pitch of the acapella to get the singing to match, it worked really well cause I layered some subtle singing chops from the sample (lots of ooos and vocal notes with brief words), which blended with the singing from the Changes Acapella, made the whole thing sound more cohesive and convincing as a remix. 

Overall went for a pretty different vibe and sound with this one, I think it’s quite upbeat but still very emotional which I always rate and have a preference for, had to make it different due to the whole song being about changing, both the sample (which is more about changing yourself), and the acapella (which is more about changing ourselves). I think the two go together well for obvious reasons, got a strong overall vibe and message. 

Defo let me know what you think, hope people enjoy it! 

Peace
