Adrian Champion “Stars & Stripes: The White Stripes Reimagined”

This in one of my favorite mash-up/blend/remix projects from 2009. You're all probably like, WTF? But seriously, give it a chance. It's brilliant. This is only one of a few things from last year that's still in the rotation and if he'd press up a physical disc, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it.

Track Breakdown:

Wu-Tang Clan - Radiant Jewels feat. Raekwon, Cormega & Sean Price
One of the best cut & paste collabos you'll hear all year. Cormega rips the track to shreads.

Mos Def - Auditiorium feat. Slick Rick
Mos Def + Madlib + Slick Rick = winner!

Kurious - Sittin' In My Car
I'll all about sequencing and this is some quintessential 90's hip-hop.

DJ JS-1 - Ridiculous feat. O.C. & Pharoahe Monch
No Metal Thangz, but pretty damn good. Check out J's site.

Blaq Poet - Rap Addiction feat. Shabeeno of NYGz & Lil Fame
Another banger courtesy of Premier. Nostalgia rap shit right here!

Grand Puba - Same Old Drama feat. Large Professor
Short and sweet but when two vets go line-4-line you take it.

General Steele - Riot feat. Sean Price, Illa Noyz & UG
Sean P always does damage and Steele shines as well but I put this on here so you could hear the return of Cella Dwella's UG.

Marco Polo & Torae - Smoke feat. Lil Fame & Rock
Don't sleep on that MP & Torae album. This is another reason to cop!

Blaq Poet - Voices
Another Blaq Poet track but given the subject matter I thought it was relevant for the mix.

DJ JS-1 - Orginal G'z feat. A.G., Craig G. & Edo G
I'm an A.G. fan so when he comes correct, best believe I'm listening. One of the better tracks off the new JS-1 LP.

Funkdoobiest - The Heavyweight FunkIt's as if they never left us.

You got $45 to drop on their new album? Go here.

Lushlife - Another Word For Paradise feat. Camp Lo
It's nice to hear the old Camp Lo again. For more info about Lushlife click here.

Drake - Think Good Thoughts feat. Phonte & Elzhi
Canada's new "It" boy who is spits over the 9th Wonder track along side with Phonte and the ever-dope Elzhi.

Mos Def - Life In Marvelous Times
Anyone else think Mos is back? I'm leaning towards YES!

Godamus Rhyme - Stress '09
This month Godamus tackles the OK classic. If you've missed the previous Godamus Rhyme tracks click here.

Tame One - Suede Adidas

Proof that Tame can still black-out when he wants to.

Michael Jackson - This Time Around feat. Notorious B.I.G. (Bonus Track)
I didn't feel right making this compilation and not paying tribute to MJ.

Collect and download the previous 6 volumes here.

Super props to Kalel for always providing the dope covers and Strategy for completing the Sounds Like The 90's series.

RIP MJ
The King of Pop. There will never be another.
