This albums a free download by the Soulforce crew that dates back to 2007 and it is exactly what the title implies – Jay-zs vocals meet Studio One, but these guys just recently put it online and someone (possibly them?) sent me a message to post it. So, i know a few of our guys like them a good reggae set and some jay-z, no matter how over-remixed (is that a word?) that album is/was. A couple of good versions on here some well known, a bit dated but ÜBERclassic reggae riddims. Here is my favourite one, but i wished the remixes were a bit more vivid and had more breaks or the producer had put more effort on arranging them instead of pure blending. This album was just remixed too often for my ears. Other than that the albums good to go. Anways, forget my opinion: here you go, grab the full download over here.

SoulForce – Dirt Off Your Shoulder

Isn’t it just hilarious how in times of mass unemployment, in times of complete change, where the world is in upheaval and turmoil is finally spreading to the filthy rich that leave the poor no room to breathe and live, and where becoming rich is no longer the ultimate goal, but is being despised by a new generation, Jay-z & Kanye do everything to show off their riches and appeal to the most illusional of desires? It is out of sync with the new mind state of the world.  A new generation, in a few years, is not gonna care if we have listened to this and so should we now, bc it is simply fun.

Like i said before, i don’t pay attention to rap vocals in general anymore so it doesn’t bother me – sounds like a fun tune and the remix is nice. Thats all folks. Let life live you instead of caring what others do.

Jay-Z & Kanye West – Otis (Cookin’ Soul Remix)

the Throne: more on chromemusic 

While everyone is still knocking Jay-z & Kanye for how bad their, this weeks released, album “The Throne” is for a list of various reasons – here is one that Chuck D brought fwd - i still cant get over how awesome their sample for their lead single “Otis” is. Not a song to dance to, even though people go mental when you play it, doesnt look anything like dancing though, i think its brave enough and in the vein of the old fashioned hip hop to use a sample as soulful as this for a heavily promoted hiphop track, thats meant to go chartland and – no i dont care what they are saying and how much they are bragging about stuff. i stopped paying attention to hip hop vocals a long time ago. I picked better Mantras for me, no but THE SAMPLE is AWESOME. uhmm… i mean this SONG is AWESOME!
