Sometimes instead of doing work at the day job I aimlessly sift through youtube dregs, occasionally stumbling onto loose gold. This is one of those times.
First, AZ blended over the ‘One In A Million’ beat
Second, AZ + Ghost + Rae over a buttery Womack & Womack version of TKO
Both of these by HowlingMad123
Random late Friday throwback post.
This vastly underrated track appeared on Put It On The Line, which was mostly a showcase for Trife with a handful of Ghost rarities sandwiched in. It’s a perfect example of late-era Ghost excellence, go for broke nostalgia rapping over a supercharged heavy funk instrumental. You could consider it as a conceptually simpler companion piece to “Shakey Dog”, or just a continuation of the “Apollo Kids” lineage.

Madvillain – Victory Lap from Minnesota Black on Vimeo.
This popped up in the comments for the DOOM/STARKS youtube video post, props to Minnesota Black aka (not) morris day.
I’m honestly a bit confused now about who will claim “Victory Lap(s)” offically – the original is a Madvillain track, the remix is a Doom/Starks track produced by Madvillain? Not that I’m complaining, any music from any combination of these three artists is most welcome, by any name.
So this exists…. Check Nature Sounds twitter for more info

It’s rare when a mashup or a bootleg remix outshines the original, but here the original isn’t particularly well produced and the Shirelles song is beyond classic and fits Ghost’s sentiments in the lyrics, so this version wins.

Random find from the Wutang-corp board. Ghost looks like got very emotionally involved here, see around the 2.50 mark. Cappa in back, just happy to be there but not sure what to do with himself. Tekitha’s hair is a miracle of geometry.
This pic has been making rounds on the net lately, I think it started from realniggatumblr. For whatever reason, the first thing that came to mind when I saw it was this random homegrown remix. I have no idea where I found it, nor why the title was changed from healthy to deadly. The sound of this one goes directly against the grain of the original, dusty chopped weirdness replaced with easy smoothness that wouldn’t feel out of place on a Curren$y or a Camp Lo song. Works like a motherfucker though.

Another ‘vs Group Home’ blend… using the Up Against The Wall Lo Budget mix Vaporized takes a meh song and makes it better. This might actually be my favorite one yet.

The ‘making of’ video (above) for this song has been making the rounds during the last two days. As it turns out the song itself wasn’t that hard to find either. And it is worth the 5 minutes of effort I spent to find it. More of this please, less tepid R&B ala Wizard of Poetry (but by all means more R&B ala ‘Holla’)
