THIS! This is a remix of one of my many favourite Jay Z songs. Kanye West's production for this beat, that sample.. everything made it irresistible for me. I HAD to cover this song. I know some people (eg. D Pryde and George Watsky) have covered this song and they established a certain vibe for this song, but I chose to go on a slightly different path. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy this! And if you like it, spread the word!  And if you need them, here are the lyrics:
Intro - This might be offensive to some people, so I’ll put this out there for some of you who have a problem with Zero…
I don’t give a fuck about your problems or opinions, I’m just tryna spit some shit, that to me, is real.
Verse 1 - I started out, when I was eleven, burning CD’s of my favorite rappers in secret, so I could listen to ‘em/ The ideals encouraged by this genre was something that opened my mind  and sparked my interest in rap music./ But I was worried about reactions to this passion/ Most of the people I knew then, thought I was a joke for rappin’./ I remember the laughin’. I remember the fact that my dream was dismissed as a joke by my own damn family.
I held back and put a lid on my anger, channeled my  rage on rippin’ instrumentals with every stanza/ But it wasn’t enough, ‘cus shit kept adding up and being held back CONSTANTLY was something that drove me to madness!
So I vowed that ONE day, I’mma make ‘em eat their words. ‘Til the point where they get sick of it are forced to throw it up. ‘cus I come from the City of Dreams where none come true, except for one dude’s who’ll go against all assumptions. That’s me, motherfucker.
Verse 2 - I share a love hate relationship with my hometown.  Fuck all excitement, when I get told that I’m homebound. ‘cus all I wanna do is get out there and kill it, but they’d rather hold me back with they’re so called restrictions.
And FUCK all their opinions and if you ‘gree with ‘em then FUCK YOU. Talkin’ bout my life and how I live and what I shouldn’t do.
And fuck all these relatives tryna influence my decisions. How DARE you, when for half my life, ya’ll were missing.  And all these people who talk like “Wow man, you can spit!” were the same people who said I wouldn’t amount to shit. And how dare you motherfuckers try and justify all these lies, when the truth is, you’d rather see me down than see me fly.
They say remember your roots and where you came from, but I’d rather flip ‘em off than offer respect which is made up. I come from the City of Dreams where none come true. Except for one dude, who’s go against all assumptions. That’s me, motherfuckers.

Outro - AND I PROMISE YOU MOTHERFUCKERS... You're gonna regret fuckin' with me.

Zero - No Love For The City (Jay Z's Heart Of The City Remix)

Though I don't listen to a lot of her music, I do admire Adele. And her song 'I'll Be Waiting' turned into an instant favourite of mine.  So I figured I'd sample it, for fun! I tried to keep the original song's badass (for the lack of a better term) mood intact and tried to give it a busy and hard rap sound. I'd like to think it turned out well. Hopefully, you guys'll like it too!

Adele - I'll Be Waiting (Zero Instrumental Remix)

This is my take on Drake's 0 to 100. I loved the beat, so I had to do it. No copyright infringement intended. All rights belong to the artists who made the original song. I don't profit off of this song. It was made purely for entertainment purposes.

Lyrics:

Lemme show you how to get this real quick.
two minutes of beats and I'm about to spit some real shit.
Bout to bring the heat like a fever with this illness
and make you wonder why the fuck I haven't got a deal yet.

See, I'd be braggin' if I ever call myself a phenomenon
Modest. But when I spit, I'm settin' off your thermometers.
Honestly when I get put all of these flows up on the microphone,
leave it abused and people wonder what the fuck was I just on?
Turn your club anthem to a motherfuckin' fight song.
Take you on high, like you just popped some Tylenol.
My sickness is a curse and a blessing that comes without a cure
and you'd rather listen to lame fucks who spit without a flow.
But on the other hand - I deserve props.
'cus I talk about the shit I have, not what I haven't got. 
And that includes drugs, guns, money or guap
like all these upcoming rappers - cheap imitations of 'Pac.
And I'm flippin' every nerve I have and I'm lookin' under the matress
just to find a collection of all the fucks I giiiiive
about the shit you talk about and how you say I can't rap.
The differences are clear, like ages on a fake ID. So..

Lemme show you how you how to get this real quick.
Middle of these beats and I'm just tryna spit some real shit.
So kindly bear with me, as I go about my business
and make you wonder why the fuck I'm not a bigger deal yet.

A bigger deal, yes.
Now that's the kinda force that I'm trying to be
in a sea of disgraces, imitations and all these mockeries.
Spittin' ridiculous syllables with animosity.
"Killing everything til there's nothing left" is my philosophy.
And all these other rappers? I'm not like.
But you'd rather have 'em over me 'cus I'm not nice.
DID THEY REALLY HAVE THE NERVE TO SAY THAT I'M NOT NICE!?
That's a dumb decision like electing George Bush twice.
Bite your tongue and shut the fuck up 'cus you're about to feel me.
Leave you lookin' like fuckin' dead shit, like necrophilia.
The only reason you're don't feel me is 'cus you're an idiot.
I fill up quotas of bars like population in India.
And now this smooth beat just turned to a tussle.
Me takin' off is the biggest form of a 'FUCK YOU'
to the people who ridiculed and said I didn't have enough.
Man, I'm bout to wipe these rappers off the surface like Mr. Muscle.
So talk shit and lemme see how far you get.
'cus you sound like a whiny bitch looking for acknowledgement.
Talk about your goals while you see me try to accomplish 'em.
I'm a beast out of it's cage, lookin' for prey. And I got 'em.

Lemme show you how to get this real quick.
2 minutes of beats and I managed to spit some real shit.
And that's the reason why I haven't got a deal yet.
I think I killed the beat and now the crowd needs a witness.

Hope you like it. Share it. Spread the word. Download it. Peace.

2 Minutes (0 to 100 remix)

Alright, what you have here is 4 tracks of improvised covers - and I use the term really lightly. Me and Wynona decided to cover some of our favourite songs on a whim and the result is this. Keep in mind that this was meant to be an improvised jam session and the mistakes you hear on this playlist may or may not have been intentional. Either way, what you get is 4 tracks of crummy guitar playing and dreadful singing. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.
