You may have seen this Moloko video. It bangs pretty hard.
I thought I could do better.
You see, Talib Kweli is one of the easiest artists to remix from a production standpoint because he is so articulate and true to the rhythm. One of my other favorites – Ghostface – is nearly impossible for the opposite reason; he tears up a track, and you almost have to make it before you can hand it over. With Kweli, you sync the BPM, tweak the EQ and the lyrics really take care of themselves. It’s like the difference between breakdancing and salsa.
I came at this track not from this banging rimshot-fretless groove but something perhaps inspired by Nicolay, 9th and the like company of clean whip tracks and attention to detail. I want your input and your money.
