Throw Some Funk on Dat Bitch

Daft Punk - Da Funk (Casino Inc) Vs. T.I. - Throw Some D's

I've had these two tracks matched up in my set for a while and finally decided to render them out together. This Da Funk remix is one of the best I've heard - walks the house/disco line with precision. Match that up with TIs drawly flow and you've got a hit. TI isn't your typical pop rapper...or maybe he is; I don't really listen to a lot of TI. One thing's for sure though - Top Back and Throw Some D's are both legit bangers. His choppy flow in the middle of this a capella fits well over the breakdown in the instrumental. It's a shame he insists on keeping his songs locked below 80bpm, but I guess that's a matter of taste. Go go gadget Ableton!

Whatchu Know About The Rain (Meteorologist Mix)

Fat Joe - Make it Rain vs. T.I. - What You Know About Dat

I'm a sucker for King Carter, and this acapella just slid into place on top of the mix. Still waiting to test this one on a crowd. I haven't really gotten a chance to play hiphop, given the type of gigs I've been getting. I'd planned on working with a west coast island-hop vibe for one dinner event I worked, but my Co-Dj convinced me to pander to the 80's crowd. I'd kind of been fantasizing about finding a right hand man to work with, but that definitely shook me. As soon as you don't have total control, it's very obvious. Shit sucks, but this song doesn't.

enjoy.
