I have a new best friend and his name is Kid Color; How did he surpass the rigors which normally encompass the road to such an achievement? He's remixing all of Spank Rock and Benny Blanco are Bangers and Cash over Daft Punk instrumentals. Probably the best idea ever. Enjoy the first two remixes and anxiously await the rest.
Add NYC's Pase Rock to the list of hip hop MC's who are smart enough to embrace electro and use it to re-vitalize hip hop in a huge way. It's not really a question of who did it first or best - that doesn't really matter - actually its not a question at all, it's a statement.
In main mainstream Kanye West did it with stronger, but i have a feeling that he just lucked out and was smart enough to listen to A-trak on theDaft Punk idea. Obviously the song blew up and he continued to let A-trak keep him cool and get him in touch with more young sceneters - Pro Nails anybody? - and as a result he beat fiddy real good.
I'd be a real asshole if i talked to you about Hip Hop electro crossovers without mentioning Philly bangersSpank Rock and Amanda Blank.
These kids are fucking great, the song Get loose from Spank Rock & Benny Blanco'sBangers and Cash is pretty much a full testament to all the gratuitous explicit sexuality, glorification of wanton drug use and chauvinistic behaviour thathip hop used to be infamous for.
I find their attitude so ridiculously over the top that no one should seriously be offended by this song/video. That being said; It's a fine line i wouldn't expect most to appreciate, especially in the face of lyrics like the eternal;
All that money make a Bitch go dumb Coke on the tip make a Bitch go numb
Word on the streets - of the internet - is that both Amanda Blank and N.E.R.D. are working on albums which are slated to come out in the spring of this year; in the meantime here's a Spank Rock Remix of a Teki Latex - in town on the 23rd - song Disco Dance with You, featuring Amanda Blank. Also speaking of wanton drug use - N.E.R.D.'s everyone nose.
I've been in lines for a bathroom which consisted almost entirely of people going to do coke, so N.E.R.D. i feel you on that. I consider the song a testament to the guy who actually plans to use the bathroom to piss rather than a venue for drug use. Teki Latex - Disco Dance With You [Spank Rock Remix feat. Amanda Blank] (mp3)
