Here to remind youze lot that the only people in the rap trade who should ever be allowed to remake T-Pain songs all hail from Oakland. Neither of these remixes of T-Pain singles were official but J. Valentine & Bailey's
Go Dumb was the definitive alternate-version of
I'm Sprung, while Ezale's
Too High made the
official remix of
Up Down unnecessary:
J. Valentine & Bailey - Go Dumb
(From Bailey & J. Valentine's Hide Ya Breezy mixtape; 2006)
Ezale - Too High
(From Drug Funnie mixtape; 2013)
PS: Bailey's
Fuck Yo' Couch is still the best Dave Chappelle-inspired rap song ever. Rumour has it Dave bailed on the 3rd season of
The Chappelle Show because he was shook in case Bailey bodied him with his own concept again. True story, swear down etc.
That 1st song is (@_@)
ReplyDeleteHyphy and Bullshit
I want a remake of Let Your Hair Down by Kehlani & Nef The Pharaoh. It would be a modern day take on Rapunzel where Prince Nef eventually wins Princess Kehlani's heart by getting her laptop back from those lads who stole it and then made those 2 cold-ass ransom note songs.
ReplyDeleteoh wait now i get it u just call anywhere in the bay oakland. cuz them dudes is from the city. we aint even got rappers in the town no mo cept livewire n bearfaced
ReplyDeleteThat might be the coldest dis song ever ha
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - be my northern California geography editor plz. Shit is very confusing.
ReplyDelete"Too High" makes the original "Up Down" an afterthought too.
ReplyDeleteNah, they're both equally great and both exist in different universes.
ReplyDeleteI'll say one thing, though - Too High was 2014's most realistic slap about drug binges.
I've never heard of Kehlani but that Laptop song is amazing. Need a new Ezale tape more than any other artist right now.
ReplyDeleteMost ruthless dis song of this decade so far?
ReplyDeleteFWU by Kehlani is my shit.
