2 Chainz - I'm Different (DJ Zobe Halftime Blend Edit)

Nas & 2 Chainz photo Nasamp2Chainz_zps42147096.jpg

During the process of the 49ers mix. I heard a pretty good blend between two songs. Decided to expand on what I heard. This is what I came up with. 2 Chainz "I'm Different" vs Nas "Halftime".

Side notes:

  •  2 Chainz is a fan of Nas. He has mention some of Nas albums as his top favorites. 
  • "I'm Different" has some musical qualities that reminded me of Prince's "Kiss" and "When doves Cry" in that they both don't have a solid booming bass line. Just bass kick, drums, vocals, strings, and keys for "I'm different".  Prince's "Kiss" and "When Doves Cry" also has only Bass Kick Drum, drums, vocals, with the difference in the usage of guitar, and synth sounds.
  • Yeah I know what ya'll thinking. "Did he just make a connection between 2 Chainz to Nas and Prince. Yes indeed, believe that!
Here is the track enjoy.

Bushwick Bill's "Drwahbushwickching" sampled a Vietnamese Song



When I first heard this song. It hit me, "That's a Vietnamese Song!"
I didn't know the title, or artist. Had to ask pop's, played the song, and he ID it. Googled for the song...prefect match.

I've been interested in finding some Viet samples myself. It's tough, cause alot of Vietnamese music pre war have been lost, destroyed. What remains over here in the States is alot cassette tapes, variety shows (Paris by Night, Asia, Thuy Nga). I did manage to find two 7" from a box of records that was going to be recycled. The story of how those 7" made it here States' side must have been amazing. Cats like Onra have went back to Vietnam and found what left of records, tapes, reels. It's all kind of inspiring me to take a look at my own cultural music for inspiration.

Bushwick and whoever was behind the production, must have heard this sample from local Vietnamese owned shops in Texas. There's a sizable Vietnamese community down there in Texas (ala the famous jeweler to Hip Hop Stars Johnny Dang aka TV Johnny is down there).

With out further ado here where Bushwick Bill's "Drwahbushwickching" sample comes from.

How to mod a Vestax Handy Trax to a DIY QFO



Found the how to instruction, from the guy in previous post. English isn't his first language, as he states it himself in the video, so if you can look at the images, and decipher what he's saying. You're on your way to a DIY QFO.
