7 Original Recordings that Blow the Remakes Away
This is actually a really good article on original songs vs. newer (not really new) songs. It even happened in the 60′s. Taking a really good song, ie: Chubb Rock’s “Treat ‘em Right” and turning it into Mary J Blige’s “Just Fine (remix) Ft. Swizz Beatz & Lil Wayne”
Of course it is harder to come up with original (beats/riffs/melody’s/etc.) these days because it has all been done before… OR is that just an easy out? I know I couldn’t come out with anything original (I’m not that artistically creative), how would i know. Maybe I heard it when I was a youngin and my dad played it in the car for a few seconds… stuck in my sub-concious? Is it possible to really come out with ANYTHING original; or is everything a copy of something or at least a variation/influence of it? Well, anyways… it’s still a good article.
Man, this song is ill… I guess this song will be on Nas’ new album Untitled, so I can’t wait. Untitled is in stores July 15th on Def Jam.
