Now, I wouldn't say Dem Boys is the G.O.A.T Max B beatjack, but it is his most miraculous since he transformed the W.O.A.T Eminem song into something Wavy.
This is my shit
ReplyDeleteAlso reminds me I heard a Siouxie Sioux single w the PSK drums the other day
The song of Griney Simey's dreams.
ReplyDeleteCan You Feel Me was a beatjack?
ReplyDeleteYeah - The Fat Boys.
ReplyDeleteThis list definitely contains some songs I'm not familiar with, so good looking out.
ReplyDeleteBringing up these songs for apraisal:
Stack Bundles - Streets Of Far Rock (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=It3Yrw-5LTc - over Lloyd Banks's "South Side Story", both love the Elmer Fudd reference and the fact that it's the second time Banks got his "Hunger For More" shit gaffled and improved by another rapper).
UGK's "International Player's Anthem", little heard of gem which is of course Project Pat's "Choose U".
Int'l Players Anthem is disqualified on the 'not a true beatjack' rule since DJ Paul had involvement in it/Three 6 appeared on the remix.
ReplyDeleteStack Bundles almost made this list via Byrd Gang's Black Superman beatjack.
Re: No Pigeons - I'm also a big fan of Sporty Thievz' Destiny's Child beatjack.
ReplyDeleteThere ought to be a law against Aesop Rock rapping on a MF Doom beat, imo.
ReplyDeleteGenerally I agree, but I like him on that covering the Fondle Em era of DOOM's comeback.
ReplyDeletei don't know if this counts but Breeze Brewin made the only Control response that was worth a damn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jA_dKiFbIrM
ReplyDeleteIf it's over the original beat and there's no involvement from the original artist(s) who recorded it then it counts.
ReplyDeleteGetting properly schooled here because I had no idea most of those were beatjacks!
ReplyDeleteLike I had no clue about Can You Feel Me being off The Fatboys neither, even though I've listen to that DD album/song countless times.
Where's the Z-Ro from as well?
Paid In Full.
ReplyDeleteDirect from your own material - Who was the group that went in over Lil Jon's "play no Games'?
ReplyDeleteProlly shouldn't mention, but hey why not, Ill Bill "how to kill a cop" yeah, forget it..
More importantly: VYBZ KARTEL & SPICE RAMPING SHOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ramping Shop gotta be the G.O.A.T non-Rap beatjack.
ReplyDeleteThe song you mention was Stack by Mack Trell & his mans.
Ah here lads you'll be here all day if dancehalls allowed. 5 finger discount is running tings over there
ReplyDeleteNot that many Dancehall songs which are nicked from other genres like Ramping Shop was (it's from some Ne-Yo song.)
ReplyDeleteShite yeh, forgot the criteria. Was thinking songs taking other dancehall songs/popular riddims etc
ReplyDeleteSizzlas Nah Apologize and Ishawna - Equal Rights are good shouts too in that case n in both cases now the definitive versions. One significantly more acceptably so tho ๐ฌ
You've just reminded me of Jugglerz remix of Vybz Kartel's Dancehall over Rihanna's Work which made the two original songs totally irrelevant.
ReplyDeleteLove this list. Big Ballin' With My Homies is another great one.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't decide whether to include that. Not technically a beatjack because they added a buncha Mob Funk to the beat, but he uses Mix-A-Lot's flow so it kinda is.
ReplyDeleteEither way, amazing song.
Good point. Plus you have the G.O.A.T E-40 beatjack aleady on your list.
ReplyDeleteTransactions - automatic!
ReplyDeletePants saggin' - systematic!
Oh Marty do I...
ReplyDeleteGeneric list post: Rapper's Gaffilin': No Limit Records Edition
Master P was a beatjacking terrorist. As I've been told he never cleared them either. Or did it after the fact.
Master P f/ Silkk - The Ghetto's Tryin To Kill Me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjOQu-ujz9M

Ohhh not No Limit related but another artist that jacked D'Angelo "Lady" should get a mention.
ReplyDeletePlaya G "U Not My Lady"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRJ6-kCb51Q
Bravo ๐๐๐ Never heard that Playa G before.
ReplyDeleteI should have guessed that Ride On Our Enemies was a complete gaffle of an unreleased 'Pac song.
On top of the "U Not My Lady" song and album cover art being 10/10, the album has some jams. 90s memphis undergoud Great Value Suave House. Respectfully.
ReplyDeleteWill peep it. I checked out the first Playa G album earlier this year when someone put me onto this.
ReplyDeleteJust thought of another - Ain't No Burna by Street Smartz.
