Skeptics beware: This one burns – on the very smooth tip.
The mixologists with patience and respect for a track to let it ride, The Hood Internet, have proved less is more when re-creating 1992…
Hood Internet :: Nuthin’ But a Journal Thang (Dr. Dre vs Class Actress)
Hood,
Want to put me on the guest list at the Bottle on 4/3?
For each year of the past decade, you can take two songs from each year and blend them together. The catch: seamlessly mix them and produce a vibe that makes the listener feel they were meant for one another. Producing a bounce from the listener is a plus, too. Tough, I know. Luckily, Chicago’s Hood Internet has laid it down in under six and a half minutes. Flawlessly. The duo must have a mixology degree that is their PhD. Highly recommended….
2000 – Dr. Dre vs Radiohead, 2001 – Missy Elliott vs Daft Punk, 2002 – Ludacris vs The New Pornographers, 2003 – Kelis vs The Rapture, 2004 – Twista f/ Kanye West vs Arcade Fire, 2005 – Three 6 Mafia vs Sufjan Stevens, 2006 – T.I. vs Peter Bjorn and John, 2007 – Rich Boy vs LCD Soundsystem, 2008 – Lil Wayne vs Hot Chip, 2009 – Jay Sean vs Phoenix
It’s Friday and you best be up to something. Thanks to the Hood Internet – and MiS, of course – you scored some Ghost; you can’t stop hitting repeat on Tiga’s “Shoes” either. Let’s add a little something to that arsenal of summertime jams…
French, electro virtuoso Yuksek, who is classically trained in the one art we care a lot about, dropped Away From the Sea some months back. It’s dirty and catchy enough for me to return to frequently. And Clipse, the snow slanging MCs outta Virginia, have been preppin’ their 3rd full length for some time now. Their first single, “Kinda Like a Big Deal”, featuring once Chicago MC and always gay fish, Kanye West. Jungle chaos lurks inside of the beat. What’s the correlation between France and Virgina you ask? Our favorite mixmasters, the Hood Internet, decided they’d blend well together. They’re right. Start the weekend right…
You’d think every time the Hood Internet bakes up another concoction of a beat and a rhyme, it’s upped here. It’s quality over quantity over here, right? But like I’ve said before, these blends can be hit or miss. The duo outta Chicago, scored a back-to-back knockout with first, a blend between an ’09 wonder, Juan Maclean, and B-More meets M.I.A. protégé Rye Rye.
Hood Internet/ABX :: The Simple Bang
The follow-up hook in your left ear and out the other is the simple, yet catchy flow of Kid Cudi, with his “Day ‘N’ Nite”. The rhyme is laced over the cut and paste splicer Cornelius‘ beat.
The Chicago-based mixologists the Hood Internet are at it again – but realistically, they are always dilligently working on something. Some are fire. And some simply, don’t work. The spinning duo took one part AZ, the MC outta Brooklyn and laced it behind the Golden Filter‘s “Solid Gold” – a throbbing electro beat that perks up your ears and makes you bounce. The combination of AZ, Golden Filter’s wavy beat and a guest verse from Ghostface Killah, is enough to jump start my weekend.
