A Beat Like This Might Tempt Me
It's been a long time....since I threw a DJ mix up here. One of the few upsides to the nasty summer cold that I caught several days ago is that I've suddenly found myself with a ton of free time at home. So over the last couple of days I got a chance to go back to the lab again and finally finish up a mix that I've been meaning to work out for several months now. Listen to it:
What is this MP3, you ask before you download? Well, I took the acappella from Eric B. & Rakim's classic "I Know You Got Soul" and mixed it on top of Cool and Dre's amazingly soulful beat for "Hate It Or Love It" by The Game & 50 Cent. And then I threw in a few of the relevant 50 vocals here and there to spice things up. Admittedly, the whole idea for this mix seems a little obvious, given that "Hate It Or Love It" has an actual Rakim reference in the intro and a hot beat flavored with the very soul that (to paraphrase his own lyric) we know Rakim has. But obvious idea or not, I have yet to hear any other example of these two songs being mixed together. So I'm throwing my version out into the world. Let me know what you think. Oh, and one more thing:
As you hear it, pump up the volume!

Thanks! Yeah, The Documentary is in my tops of '05 as well. I actually burned a copy of my original CD so that I could keep one in my car at all times...
