I told you two weeks ago that the American Gangster a cappella release will prompt Danger Mouse types to come out of nowhere with their own interpretations of AG. I’ve heard a handful of these remixes, and here’s one worth checking out. I haven’t listened to the whole thing yet, so let me know if it’s consistent.

BoomBapHipHop Says: December 6th, 2007 at 8:53 pm American Gangster (the album) wasn’t as good as I thought it would be though. I mean, don’t get me wrong.. I liked it. But it just didn’t stick with me as well as his other albums. Mash ups are pretty hilarious sometimes haha, this is definitely up there for favorite Jay Z Mash up. Check out http://boombaphiphop.com and catch some of the old school stuff like this and http://www.mashstix.com has a lot of the newer mashes (obviously) |

Rick. Says: December 7th, 2007 at 10:10 am The production is slick, but I feel like Grinehouse could have taken more care to match the samples to the mood of each song. I was hoping they would at least match the energy of the original Roc Boys with the opera version. No dice. But this is still a fun project. I’ll listen to this a few times, mos def. |

Anonymous Says: December 20th, 2007 at 3:20 pm Wow….wow… This remix is best so far from what has been released so far. “I Know” is hot. “No Hook” sounds better than the original. |

 December 29th, 2007 at 7:56 am The Opera version was nice. I agree with Rick that when you’re producing, you should at least attempt to keep the flavor of the original. Check out my American Gangster remixes on my website. http://www.lifethrumusic.com/remixes/ They’re free! |
