I’ve always wanted to put a DOOM and Mos Def acapella together in the same remix, ever since I saw this video of Mos Def bugging out over DOOM lyrics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTBIvIDnnv8

I never really deeped what the DOOM acapella from ‘Ghostwhirl’ is even about until I found this sample, and before I made the beat I was thinking about what acapellas would work over it. DOOM is being pretty abstract but once I got it was about the stress and strain of relationships, mind games etc, I was crazily motivated to flip the sample, and once I had the first beat I realized it would go perfectly with the story Mos Def tells in ‘Ms Fat Booty’, so I flipped the second beat from the same sample. It was dope to really plan out the remix in this way cause it gave the track more progression. With this one I was trying to focus on the emotional release in the sample, the vocals are almost screaming there’s so much pain in them, so I thought it would pair well with these two verses that speak on heartache and manipulation of emotions. Even though it’s not the real focus in the original tracks, I think by using this sample it brought out that side to the verses and made that the focus of this remix, which is definitely what I was trying to do, so I hope it worked out.

Peace and thank you for listening!

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!
