When I originally came up with the concept for this remix I called it 'deceiving, achieving nothing', which I still think is the hardest hitting line for sure. This might be my favourite verse Pete Rock has done as an emcee to be honest, his lines are just mad creative here. 

I switched the name up to Stop Faking just cause it sums up the whole vibe of the track better, this track never feels like an angry one to me, INI always have that laid back style which fits Pete Rock's jazz heavy production, and on this track they sound more fed up then anything with all the artists faking, but again not in an annoyed way, more like they're saying it's plain to see, why even front and fake when it's that obvious. That's the aspect of this track which I rate the most personally, and wanted to bring that out in this remix. 

Peace!!

MF DOOM Remix Album Out October 31st!

Beat, mixing and mastering by Tapehead
Vocals from ‘My Favourite Ladies Acapella’ by MF DOOM

Visuals: https://youtu.be/BJ-gIGHvQys
2021 remix: https://soundcloud.com/tapeheadloops/ladies

I haven’t really thought about remixing this track again since the last time but when I was making this beat I was hearing the acapella over it straight away, whilst I was making the different flips and working out the layering I kept finding myself spitting these verses from DOOM in my head, and I began to structure the beat around how it could fit the verses. Again this is really going for the emotional side to what DOOM’s talking about, but in an even more aggressive way. For last year’s remix it was more subtle with the piano being a lot quieter and subdued, the vocals too. This time the sample has way more aggression and weight to it, conveying that pain in a very different way. This made me sure I wanted to remix the track again cause I’d be doing something different, whilst still focusing on the side to the subject matter which I find most powerful personally. I think it’s cool how here the beat is initially quite happy sounding and carefree, the piano definitely is not sad melodically like the time before. When I was chopping up the sax parts of the sample I knew it would change the vibe though, and I thought that was perfect to layer when DOOM starts moving away from the positives of the Ladies and towards the negatives. I tried to structure the melodies in this way throughout the remix, with the ‘making love to a shadow’ vocals coming in towards the end as the track crescendos, I thought those vocals were a good fit with this track, speaking on the empty ‘shadow’ relationship that drugs ultimately bring. I’m definitely happy with how this turned out, I can’t decide if I like it more than what I did last year, they’re so different to me which is ideal honestly. I will say I’m glad I gave this one more of a journey, not just one vibe for the whole track, instead fluctuating from hopeful melodies to more aggressive sad ones, to mirror how DOOM seems to be happier when he’s first meeting the Ladies, but with time begins to point out their flaws and reflects on the negatives. 

Hope people like this remix, definitely let me know how you feel about it when compared to last years, would be really interesting and helpful for me, I’ve been thinking about it a lot since I’ve been working on this.

Peace!

Ladies (Remix)

Beat, mixing and mastering by Tapehead
Vocals and scratches from 'Dooinit Acapella' by Common and J Dilla

Visuals: https://youtu.be/RujhhZb2Jjs

Was struggling for a while this week with what to put over this beat, took a lot of trial and error for sure. Thursday morning before work I still wasn't happy with any of the ideas, then thought Common would be the artist most likely to fit the overall vibe and sound here. I'd already tried the 'Used To Love H E R' acapella which wasn't working out, so I went for this one hoping it would be a good fit. I've had this acapella for ages and always wanted to do something with it, needless to say was defo happy with how it sounds over this beat (pitched the acapella up slightly so it's in key with the sample etc). 

Hope people enjoy this remix, pretty different from the clean sound of the original but I think the acapella works with that rugged vibe too - thanks for listening!

Keep On

Had a bit of trouble mixing this one, especially the Nas acapella. Wanted the beat to have some weight to it so I ended up layering the sample quite a lot, but then had to layer the acapella too so it didn't get lost under the beat. Hopefully the final outcome sounds OK, I definitely like the feel of the beat, got a laid back jazzy kind of feel whilst still fitting the rugged East Coast vibe. I initially couldn't chose between blending the Nas acapella or the Just Step Prelude over this beat, so I decided to have them both. Thought it actually worked in a way because Nas is describing someone having to face trial etc, and that's the whole focus of the Big Noyd verse too, so it's almost like the second verse is coming from the perspective of the guy Nas is talking bout in the first verse. Not 100% but the link is kind of there.

Peace and thank you for listening!
