A Brazilian Hov?

A lot of American Gangster remix albums have circulated around within the last 6 months and it seems like every producer has one in their catalogue. Man, even I did one (I never put it out there and never will. Ha Ha!). Out of the all of the remix albums, this one was most interesting to me. It has a more Bossa Nova, Jazzy sound to it (and I love jazz). This is the most laidback chill but still very musical version of American Gangster I have heard. I like how each beat crafted by Brazil 5000 gives new life to each track. My favorites are Roc Boys, Pray, Success, Party Life, I Know, & Fallin.

Jean Grae Ft. Busta Rhymes - Love Thirst [Remix]

It's amazing how dudes sleep on the lyrical abilities of both of these rappers. Busta has got to be one of my top 10 lyricists of all time. Yes, of ALL TIME!!! Dude can spit to just about any beat in many different styles, and its never whack. Jean is a beast too and she sounds exceptionally great over 9th Wonder production. Most people I know did not like this 9th Wonder beat but its cool for me to hear 9th switch styles a lil. Anyway, this track is fire.

El-P Remixes Kidz In The Hall's Driving Down The Block

I still like the original better but this one ain't bad either. It's a different spin on the song. I'm not really in to El-P (I don't know much about him at all), but this sounds pretty good. I have to get that "The In Crowd" though. It sounds pretty solid.

Lupe Fiasco & CL Smooth - Paris, Tokyo Remix

I think Lupe and CL made a good team on this track. CL Smooth fit so nicely on the beat. It's not as long as the original but its good to hear a nice new CL Smooth verse. Unfortunately, Lupe's verse was the same.
