ReeeeeeeeeeeeeMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiixxxxxxxxxxxx!!!

Wassup? Wassup? Wassup? Wassup? Wassup? So lately I've been encountering all these remixes of old songs. In this post, I've included 3 new re-mixes along with the original so you can compare notes. Let me know your thoughts.

I've recently stumbled upon a Ghetto House remix of Hip Hop legends and political/cultural junkies Dead Prez' Hip Hop. Yes, yes smarties, the song that Chapelle Show stole the bass line from for the opening of the show...which truly is one of the sickest bass lines on a track ever! It's interesting as it's almost an entirely new song as the lyrics get changed but the message is still the same...it's more like an homage to the song. I'm not in love but all the bloggers seem to be, so check it and see what ya think:

Next we have one of my oldest loves Fugazi. This song is Long Division which is a super short diddy and as simple as it gets. Shit there is nothing that they ever did that I did not like. If I were to ever see Ian MacKaye walking down the street I would pass out. I would! And Joe Lally, FO'GET ABOUT IT!! I've rubbed one out to him since I was 11! He ensued my love for bass players and was probably the reason why I dated so many!!! God damn those guys were so talented! RESPECT!!! So the re-mix version of the song would be better if they eliminated the "whoa/yeah" and the raver whistle. I'm a purest when it comes to Fugazi and so of course I don't like the re-mix, but for those of you who don't like punk, you may find the song more palatable with a dance beat attached to it.

Last but not least we have none other than America's apple pie The Boss!! I'm on Fire has always been one of my favorite songs of his. As a little girl I imagined myself making out with my best friend at the time Casey Brandt. Dude, I have tried to google your ass to figure out where the fuck you are! I miss this kid. We were really great friends from when we were kids through my very early 20's...then he moved to Montana and I don't know what ever happened. Perhaps he got all Brokeback Mountain on me...who knows! Anyway, this re-mix is actually not bad. I know, how could I say that about such a classic song? But really it's super mellow...something I might include in one of my "Making Sweet Love" Mixes. Those of you fortunate to receive those have since had sex for the first time, gotten married and have had children...I'm that good!! HA! It's definitely not as good as the original, of course! But interesting and definitely palatable.
