Fifty Remixes You Need To Hear (1-10)

FROM THE STAFF:

This is a RAP NERD VOLTRON in full effect, duns amd dun-ettes. The entire T.R.O.Y. regular staff (Admiral, Blockhead, Philaflava, Roy Johnson, Schenactady Fan, Thun, ThomasV, Verge) put our heads together to come up with a list of Fifty Remixes that YOU need to hear as soon as humanly possible! Take note that this is not a list of the "best" remixes ever (though many are contenders) or even our very "favorites," (though some qualify) but simply a list of fifty great remixes (interpreted somewhat loosely to include songs that are essentially remakes or sequels) that we think you'll enjoy. We tried to leave out extremely obvious picks ("Scenario" 7 MCs Remix, "I Got'Cha Opin", and the like) but we also kept the list fairly accessible and mostly confined to crews that were signed and put out actual albums. We'll be bringing you ten picks every morning this week, so join the T.R.O.Y. Movement and spread the word via Twitter, Facebook, Digg, the message boards and blogs you frequent, text messages, and what have you. Enjoy, and be sure to leave some (hopefully not hateful) feedback.

1. Eric B. & Rakim "Microphone Fiend" (45 King Remix)

2. Leaders Of The New School "International Zone Coaster" (SD50s Remix)

This one is a pure adrenaline rush, and it's easily one of our favorite L.O.N.S. tracks. Produced by Dante Ross of the SD50s.

3. Slick Rick "It's A Boy" (Large Pro Remix)

Quite possibly the dopest remix that the Large Professor has ever produced, and that's saying something. Extra P utilized an incredible Cal Tjader sample for this one. Check out out 2CD set of Cal Tjader samples.

4. Artifacts "Ultimate" (Showbiz Remix)

5. De La Soul "Breakadawn" (De La Remix)

A slammin’ remix that doesn’t get mentioned too often. While it’s hard to outdo the original, this one definitely comes close. That “Dawn Brings Smoke” beat is outstanding.

6. 3rd Bass "Product Of The Environment" (Marley Marl Remix)

7. Organized Konfusion "Stress" (Extra P Remix)

8. Das Efx "Microphone Master" (Domecracker Remix)

9. Da King & I "Tears" (Darp Vibe)

10. MOP "Rugged Neva Smoove" (Premier Remix)

Here are all 10 of them in one file:
