Shout out to my brother EZ, who's celebrating his birthday today. The old man is now 34!
He's always asking me to put up club and house remixes - which I have
a few times in the past - but its become a lot harder these days to find djs blending hip hop with those types of beats. Its like nobody's down for a good rave any more. This is the best I could come up with for today:
DJ Swindle - In Da Club / Sweet Dreams blend
Not exactly a house beat, but it does at least have 50 Cent referencing "yo' birfday." Track taken from DJ Swindle's
80 Cent: Fifty meets the 80's.
His other request is for remixes featuring dancehall beats. That one was a little easier for me to fulfill:
Commmon - Ghetto Story #2 Blend
Ding Dong and 50 Cent - Badman Pullup Party Blend
For those who don't know (I didn't), the unfortunately named
Ding Dong is a Jamaican dancehall singer.
The two dancehall remixes come from QuTbTcois DJ Critical Hype, off of a blend tape he put together,
100% Pure Blends. I'm not really sure where you can order it right now, with
mixunit and most of the other mixtape sites running for cover from the RIAA after the DJ Drama incident. You can try contacting him
through his website, or
his MySpace page.
Happy Birthday, EZ.
