Reek DeVille - 10 Mack Commandments

Reek DeVille - 10 Mack Commandments

As far as remakes of classic songs go, remixes to Biggie's '10 Crack Commandments' come a dime a dozen. That's no knock on anyone who tries, but simply a sign of the times. That said, if you're going to make a list to BIG's rulebook to the crack game, make sure you do it well. Such is the case with Reek DeVille, formerly known as Reek da Villain. His remake, entitled the '10 Mack Commandments' is about as exhaustive a list as possible when dealing with females in this life. In fact, I think more relationships would stay the course needed if men used their heads (not that one). Reek is preparing to drop his How to Be a Player EP with OnSMASH soon, and if this is the first track, consider my ears perked up. Check it out...

Huge props to Karen Civil for letting this one loose, even though I had to rip the audio myself so you guys could download it. Everyone (and by everyone, I mean the internets and Twitter) said that Drake killed his verse, and now we get a chance to hear it. The remix to Kanye's 'All of The Lights' is pifftastic, splendiforous, and a bunch of other made up words for awesome. The only weird part about this track is Sean's use of onomatopoeia. He has a unique flow that works sometimes, and other times seems out of place. No worries, though. Wayne and Drake do enough heavy lifting to counteract Sean's snafu. Check out the remix and have a happy Monday, people!!

EDIT: Apparently, 'Ye has a verse lined up for the remix as well. Be on the lookout for an 'official' version...

Blue's Clues: Remixed

Everyone knows the song to Blue's Clues by heart, or very well should. Blue's Clues was the first kid's show made for slow kids. I say that because they made the clues so obvious that only a blind kid wouldn't be able to get it. That said, it's always been a mystery as to what happened to Steve and his little brother (blank). The show said that Steve went to college, but those of us who read the news know he got mixed up in something a little more adult than that. Even so, these people found a way to explain it, with hilarious results. This is the Christopher Nolan version of Blue's Clues. Taking cues from movies such as Inception and the new Batman series, this remix of Blue's Clues is not for the faint of heart, yet keeps in line with the course of one episode. Enjoy it, and be on the lookout for more blue paw prints...

Kanye West - Power (Remix) (ft. Jay-Z & Swizz Beatz)

What does it take to really remix a song? Lately, it's just been a bunch of artists going off on the same beat. I guess that's why Kanye decided to rip a Swizz Beatz-produced interpolation of Snap's pop classic, The Power, along with bringing Jay along for a whack at the original version. The result is one heck of a remix. Ye reverts back to his slick-talking ways for a long verse, which hits you perfectly with the beat. I couldn't stop nodding my head. I'm sure you won't either. There's still no release date for 'The Album Formerly Known as Good Ass Job', but with gems like this, we can't be too upset with the man. Shouts to Miss Info for this one...

My Chick Bad (The Glee Club Version)

Honestly, when my boy showed me this, I wasn't sure of whether it was stupid, or really, really dope. Upon watching it again, the girls of Candy Slice who chopped up Ludacris' 'My Chick Bad' for their GLEE audition (can anyone tell me what that is?) killed the beat and the rapping, considering that's not their singing background. The beatboxing by the chick in the back, along with her spastic movements added some comic relief. The girl in the front left gave us the most Ivy-leagued out swagger ever, and the ad-lib girl in the front made me bust out laughing. It's always refreshing to see hip-hop songs sung in different ways. Doing that makes you listen to the words all the more. I think I like the song less now, actually. Oh well...
