Top 10 Remixes I Wish I Woulda Did
by 9th Wonder

10. Ras Kass - Soul On Ice (Diamond D Remix)
Diamond changed the whole scope of the jam. He made it fierce.

9. Das Efx - Jussamen (Pete Rock Remix)
Man you talkin about making Das Efx sound soulful and sweet...Pete did it.

8. Fat Joe - Shit Is Real (Premier Remix)
Lord..Primo brings the winter calm with this one. Like the cold streets...

7. Ol' Dirty Bastard - Brooklyn Zoo (Lord Digga Remix)
Boy..now this remix is a jam that totally changed the spectrum of the song. It went from LOUD to sinister. Like chaotic to simple but still cold.

6. Das Efx - Real Hip Hop (Pete Rock Remix)
Pete said he did this remix in 15 minutes right before he had to go somewhere. WTF? Amazing.

5. Black Moon - Buck 'Em Down (Evil Dee Remix)
I listen to this remix everytime I get on and off a plane.Buckshot says "welcome to flight Black Moon." Yes!

4. Notorious B.I.G. - One More Chance (Tumblin' Dice Remix)
Arguably the best Party song EVER. Hip hop at his height and happiness. Best video. Everything!

3. Nas - It Aint Hard to Tell (Large Pro Remix)
NA-NA-NA-NAS. The way he used the biz sample, lord.

2. Black Moon - I Gotcha Opin (Evil Dee Remix)
The sexiest street remix ever. U can make love to the instrumental if u wanted to, hell it's Barry White. The video with the hockey jerseys..Buck rockin' a Penguin. He flows on this...

Drum roll...

1. Public Enemy - Shut 'Em Down (Pete Rock Remix)
All day, all night, all year. THIS IS THE GREATEST REMIX EVER.

  1. That's a great list! I still listen to most of these remixes till this day..

    What do you think is the best remix you did?

    And do you still use fruityloops?

  2. Other than the Puff Daddy track, this list pretty much sums up all the remixes that I've ever liked. Here are some others that may not be top 10 worthy but tight nonetheless:

    1) Dynamite Soul (remix)- Artifacts
    2) Headz Aint Ready (remix)- Smif & Wessun
    3) Rainy Dayz (remix)- Raekwon/Ghostface
    4) Paid In Full (coldcut remix)- Eric B. & Rakim

  3. I'm glad to see the ODB Lord Digga remix on there.It didn't get much play when it came out,while the album version got constant rotation.The album version was great itself,but the Digga mix really fit the lyrics and even sounded more like a Wu banger to me,with the sample he used.
