Bloggin 4 Beats: Remixing Alicia Keys
October 6, 2008
I’m a little geeked about this one cuz I actually played the bassline out on my keyboard. My PC keyboard, the Microsoft one. Yeah. Letters G and J I think. I know how thugged out Alicia Keys really is (you saw how much love she showed Wu-Tang at Summer Jam??) so I’ve been wanting to throw some hard drums under one of her songs for a minute. Thanks to my peoples at Hip Hop Samples Index I found some gutter drums from Shades of Brown to mix with my Maxwell, Erykah Badu and Les McCann vibes. I forgot how freakin long this song is and had to resist the urge to cut Ms. Keys off during her monologue but if a woman ain’t done, ya gotta keep going til she is.
