ELI PORTER VS. ENVY FREESTYLE RAP

(^search on YouTube, it's awesome!)
oh, and
- Prison rap, The Fat Boys
- Pacific State, 808 state

I've developed a liking to this song, heard it a while back and then recently discovered it sitting in my iTunes library. Imagine that



I think the video's a bit silly and the vocals could use some more variation- there isn't a huge range of notes used in the song, and that's not necessarily bad, but I think it would have come out as much more evocative if there had been greater shifts in pitch and tone.

The lyrics are based off of a short story written by the artists, which you can read here (first post down). Relatively deep stuff.

Also, apparently a lot of people learned about this song because the chorus was used in this song (which some dub a remix) by 50 Cent, which I think is shite. The beat rapes my ears and the lyrics are alright but occasionally random and unfitting, I think.



This remix, on the other hand, is fairly well done in my opinion, though at one point the lyrics are a bit drowned out by the heavy beats.





Hm. Didn't think I'd devote such a long post to one song :v

[Renegade_Turner]

The song's good, but the two remixes are poorly produced.

If you want some amazing remixes, look no further than Mt Eden:



Everything this guy touches turns to absolute gold.

Interesting, I just found out about Imogen Heap a few days ago with this song:



But yeah, wow, Mt Eden is some pretty top-notch stuff. I'll have to peruse that channel more thoroughly, preferably at a time when I'm not putting off an English paper

[Renegade_Turner]

This one's of the Mirror's Edge theme song. It's unreal:

I found this by looking at a Mortal Kombat TV Ad, and the song is just amazing.
My back started to shiver and I practically gasped for air the first time I listened to it.

The Ad:

...that song's amazing! Such a dirty wobble beat.

Oh wait, just looked it up, that's Sonny Moore from From First To Last. =O

I'd heard he had a solo project, but I figured it would be absolute shit.



I think I might just be getting old, but lately I can't stop listening to swing jazz...it's so infectiously rhythmic....can't stop moving my feet when I'm listening to it...

[Ragdollmaster]

That Still Alive mix is jaw-dropping. Andy is my new best friend for telling me about this channel <3

Yeah it surprised me aswell, he's incredibly talented.
I also heard he's doing a tour with Deadmau5, which will do a great impact on his solo-career. Props to the guy, he has earned it.

[Renegade_Turner]

I was supposed to see Deadmau5 at Creamfields back in 2009, but then I had a repeat exam for college the day after we would've been getting back from England...balls. Tickets and flights had been booked too!

[Ragdollmaster]

Oh wow, I looked up the original version of that Imogen Heap remix, and it's brilliant in its own right.



Couldn't find a plain version, this was the second-most popular search result, after the Mt Eden remix

[Grayswandir]

Hoof it.

[Freshbite]

Damnit, Ben. Now you had me interested in the series.
