I've been sitting on the 93 Til Infinity acapella for a while without finding any beats that really suited it. As with the TROY acapella, its hard to find something that will actually improve the track. Eventually, following a flash of inspiration I put a request out on the
DWG boards for some technical assistance, as I've got the ideas but not the studio know-how.
Jimmy Green - the man behind those rather popular
Beastie Boys and
Marvin Gaye mixes - duly stepped up and has come through with something rather dope. A different instrumental drops each time the MC changes and, by no coincidence, all the beats used were big tracks in 1993. Do you see what we did there?
The more astute amongst you will spot that this is inspired by
Spinbad's remix of Hip Hop vs Rap and those Stretch Armstrong and Mighty Mi remixes of
1,2 Pass It,
Crooklyn etc. Big fan of those Jackin For Beats tracks and Jimmy definitely took my idea and made it reality with awesome results.
Spread it around and tell the people where you got it from.
