You’ve seen the video, now you get the studio quality mp3. I smell a workout classic. So dope.
Busta Rhymes – “Don’t Touch Me (Throw Da Water On ‘Em) (Travis Barker Remix)”
Here’s a new version of Nas’ “Cops Keep Firing” featuring a nice little verse from David Banner. Banner’s dope, but kinda bipolar these days. He’s clearly talented and makes a lot of ill, socially relevent material. Then at the same time, he drops generic ish like this. I guess you have to do both to play ball in this system. Anyway, peep the remix. The original appeared on Nas’ n-word tape with Green Lantern…

Being the huge Lupe fan that I am, I had to post this up for y’all to check out. A Chicago producer named Itch13 remixed Lu’s “I Gotcha” off Food & Liquor, and it turned out pretty dope. I still prefer the original, but this is a good one for the collection:

You just can’t go wrong with Dwele and Slum Village. Every one of their collaborations has been dope, and this joint is no different. T3 and (the rhyming god that is) Elzhi hop on Dwele’s new single, “I’m Cheatin’.” I would have liked some longer verses, and perhaps a remixed beat…you know, like “remixes” were meant to be…but this is still the jam.

The D, and the entire midwest region, is really on fire right now…

Never been a Blink 182 fan, but their behind the scenes stuff on MTV always made me think they seemed like cool dudes. I remember they renamed fan “meet and greets” as “meet and creeps,” which anyone who has helped run one can definitely relate to. Then again, I also remember seeing some of that awful reality show about Travis Barker’s marriage. So I guess it’s a push.
Anyway, Travis has been “remixing” random hip-hop joints over the last year by playing live drums alongside the track. This one with Busta Rhymes’ “Don’t Touch Me (Throw Da Water On ‘Em)” is the best one by far, mainly because he actually picked a good song to rework. No matter how much you kill the drums on a Soulja Boy track, I still can’t listen to that…
