Bloggin 4 Beats: The Ms. Fat Booty Remix
July 11, 2008
There’s a glitch in the Matrix. I gotta blame this one on some DJ I must have heard many years ago who blended “Ms Fat Booty” with the instrumental to “Big Poppa.” For real. I found these Mos Def Acapellas and when I played this I kept hearing “Between The Sheets” under it on some serious Deja vu shit. But since I’m not a DJ, trying to match up that instrumental for a blend with nothing but Mixmeister would have taken longer than just looping up the Isley’s my damn self and remixing it.
Hydrosonics Alumnus Helps Joe Budden Ask “Who?”
July 11, 2008
Back in April we profiled a producer on the rise, Blastah Beatz, in our Hydrosonics column. At the time he’d already landed a mixtape track with Busta Rhymes and has now added Joe Buddens’ “Who” to his discography.
The 20 year old from Portugal samples Marvin Gaye’s “Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)” for the track.
“Basically, Joey wanted this particular sample flipped so he sent it to me. I guess he had the concept already laid out,” Blastah told Nodfactor.com. “He wanted the spirit of the original to remain so I kept it simple, just rearranging the samples and adding drums and percussion. I did my thing with it and sent it back, they leaked the first part a few days later. I hooked up with him through Brandon Hall, his A&R. They were looking for beats for Padded Room so I hit him up, they liked my stuff and asked me to be a part of the team.”
There are two parts out now, listen below. Joey is sayin some shit.
