Remixing DOOM is so bittersweet these days. It always hits me so hard how talented he was, and the dedication to music just shows so clearly in his verses, it’s hard to describe but I always get goosebumps, like I can hear his soul and passion in the rhymes. It really is an honour to be able to use this verse for a remix, I’m too grateful for being able to put my own spin on them, the subject matter really resonates with me, and I really wanted to remix this track with my own perspective on ‘ladies’ in mind. Even though he’s clearly having fun with the metaphor on this track, a lot of the lines are mad deep and have a proper realism to them, so I wanted to try and really bring that out in this remix. What DOOM’s talking about is deep at the end of the day, a relationship with drugs is a serious topic and in this generation, I’d say it’s widespread, and to be honest I see it as completely endemic of being unable to face reality and it’s problems, and trying to escape them, choosing an easy route that only keeps you trapped and crushes ambition. That’s just my outlook though, but I really hear that pain and sorrow in DOOM’s verses, and I wanted to build on that and bring it out more by making the beat mad emotional, using vocals (which are actually a mans but sped up) that kind of give the ‘ladies’ a presence behind DOOM’s vocals. The piano is layered from the same sample, which is another melancholic melody that I layered over the vocals/bassline to try and build on that vibe of the track. Overall I’m pretty gassed with what I made here, it’s really different to the original track but I’m happy with that, I just wanted to tap into what I rate and hear in the verses and build on that, which I think I did here.

Peace

I don’t think I’ve actually ever remixed this acapella before, it’s such a serious verse and subject matter so I’ve always been hesitant about working with it cause I wouldn’t want to do something that didn’t work. I had a few other beats that I was trying this verse over, all of them were sad piano melodies, but I felt like this one fit the acapella best. Originally I don’t think the beat was super sad, I actually originally made it to celebrate finishing a coursework deadline, but I pitched it down to fit the tone of Biggie’s vocals better, and with this verse ontop it really brought out the sadder side to the melody I flipped for the beat. 

I remember when I first heard this track when I was younger it sounded pretty over the top, and I didn’t really understand what made it so powerful, but it was definitely hard to listen to. Now I’m older the track still stands out, but I get why Biggie made it, and it for sure wasn’t to be shocking or over the top, you can tell he was just using lyrics and spitting as therapy to the fullest, really going deep on it. That’s something I can relate to crazily, whenever I write lyrics I’m always looking at the negatives just to come to terms with what I’m feeling and express the emotions to get them off my chest. I’ve never felt like Biggie did on this track, and it’s sad to hear he had suicidal thoughts of course, but in my opinion, it’s mad inspiring and positive that he made a track about it, 100% way better than keeping the feelings inside and not speaking on it, and to be honest, without that inspiration I’m not sure if I ever would have been as vivid and honest with myself in how I write my own lyrics. I wanted to try and build on that emotional release in the beat I chose to remix this over, and really went all out on the low end to try and emphasize the weight of what he’s saying, and how hard it must have been to actually write and record too. Hopefully that shows in the remix, peace.

Vocals from ‘Wrong Side Of Da Tracks Acapella’ by Artifacts

Visuals: https://youtu.be/J-sYmg7qlEk

Like the ‘Ill Street Blues’ remix I uploaded recently, this is one of the first remix concepts I put together back when I first started producing. I was too happy with the flip of the sample, and it immediately brought this acapella to mind, so I layered it on top and was mad happy with how they sounded together. Back then I didn’t focus on drums or have any real mixing or mastering experience, so it was very rough and not put together well, but the idea always shone through to me. I actually reworked this beat last year, but pitched it down and only had the Artifacts hook over it because there was so much resonance in the verses, and I had no idea how to mix vocals back then. Now that I’ve been mixing vocals for over a year it felt like a good time to revisit this one and finally do a full rework of the idea, so I decided to have the normal pitch to start and then lower the pitch for the second verse. I also went all out filtering this one, cause to me the sample always stood out for the warm vibe the low end had, and I wanted to really focus and exaggerate that by filtering and boosting those frequencies in this mix.

Lyrics : 

I’ve never been in love before
Such a foolish thing to be 
Seems to me the price is high
So I’ll keep my own company
And I’ll do what I want 
When I feel

Watch them fall so easily
Temporary insanity
Some say that true love is blind
Me I like to clarify
While I 
I just take 
My own time
And I 

I’ll go my own way 
I walk when I wanna 
Talk talk when I wanna
Finding my own way
I walk when I wanna talk talk 
When I wanna

Seems to be illogical
Love that’s unconditional
Give your heart to someone else
But save a little for your self
That’s why I’m 
I’m taking my own time
And I 

I’ll go my own way
I walk when I wanna 
Talk talk when I wanna
Finding my own way
I walk when I wanna
Talk talk when I wanna

Don’t get me wrong 
It’s kinda cynical
But it scares though
So I’m careful with my heart
It’s the only one I got
I cannot 
commit to that shit

Ill talk when I wanna
Finding my own way
I walk when I wanna
Talk talk when I wanna
I’ll go my own way
And I’ll walk when I wanna and tell u
When I wanna
My own way my own way
When I wanna when I wanna

Lyrics posted below:

Verse 1

A lot of people talking, very few are living, 
A lot close people are the reason I've been distant. 
Too many People calling, very few are listening, 
I forgot to mention those pretenders with opinions, 
Is it them or is it me? Too many times, 
I've been accused of what I'm missing. 
Been stuck in between the lies for so long, 
trying to define the grey lines in them linen 
trying to stay resilient but not silenced by civilians, uh
 Im sick and tired of them kids who stay kidding, 
them kids who think they on a pedestal cause they trilling,
you better put your head down stay humble 
before karma come around it just might hurt yah! 
Lately, Ive been on the scene, man what you mean? 
I mean I woke up with bitter dreams and sweet 16s, 
got regrets up in my mind its beyond the teens, 
to much damage has been done I scorched my self-esteem.
though I know this its not over 
the pain thats on my brain is for gain and not closure 
what remains won't decompose I suppose its for Jehovah 
the blood that's on my hands is not woe, but death to passover.


Chorus:
Cause only God knows, 
I've been trying to live my life hallow, 
but all I ask myself is how low
 I keep drowning deeper in the shallow, 
Sometimes my enemy is me. (2x)


Verse 2:
Scratch them conversations I had with them passed relations, 
I thought they were destined for greatness, 
I was mistaken they served as confirmation 
cause everything must have an expiration, 
whether its tribulations or celebration 
but lets face it the people that you hang with 
stab your back with conversations 
I'm just stating ain't no time to be disgracing
 I don't need an explanation or debate the situation 
thats just snakes in operation when they chasing rats in races. 
I ain't concern though, I'm more concern where I'm heading 
how I roll in this life of full-time jobs and clock work. 
If I don't crank dough, my clock won't. 
Now a days my life's been darker than before 
it's pushing down my psyche, 
this narrow road shouldn't be taking lightly, 
I got this weight on my back and for those of you who doubt me
 will be the first to see this burden transform into glory,
yah don't know me, this music is for the secluded directly, 
precluded intently, by those that neglect me is it envy? 
I have to go below in order to be grown in this life of hatred. 
I wasn't buried I was planted in my place 
to one day climb out of the grave so I can say this: 
"Johnny where you been?" I've been at rock bottom, brawling goblins,
hella problems, trying to solve them, Iron sharpens Iron 
I was between the sword and the fire to whom I admire,
 the one that no one is higher, no weapon shall prosper, 
thats forged against me though I'm weak this victory is mine,
 take heath from what your listening, 
the gospel is the key to set you free from your conditions, 
the kingdom is like a seed amongst the weed 
if you need me come and find me where I will be fishing for the living...


Chorus:
Cause only God knows, 
I've been trying to live my life hallow, 
but all I ask myself is how low
I keep drowning deeper in the shallow, 
Sometimes my enemy is me. (2x)
