Grab The Mic REQUEST

[Hard2Kill]

#DJS I have a Switch-Up Request. Basically the idea is mixing the Grab The Mic beat with the Thru My Rearview pella. I'd love to hear this kinda mix some day soon hopefully.

First let's reminisce on the original:

Things needed to bring this Switch-Up to life:

Mommy, What's A Gravedigga? (RZA Mix Instrumental) (1995) - http://www26.zippyshare.com/v/Agjw0g8l/file.html (Thanks to [MENTION=1052]Esoteric for the hookup)

^^ This beat is nearly identical to 2Pac's beat but this is slowed down. You can speed up the beat to match the tempo.

2Pac - Starin Thru My Rearview (Studio Acapella) << Surely you DJs must have this. [MENTION=1348]Creation [MENTION=842]D-Ace [MENTION=7122]djmoey [MENTION=2072]KW [MENTION=306]KREW [MENTION=1133]Rock [MENTION=2009]VenomRx

The 3 samples used in Grab The Mic:

Rakim - Microphone Fiend - http://www37.zippyshare.com/v/xQ961Yqi/file.html

^^ Here you can capture the I TRY TO GRAB THE MIC AND SAY YES Y'ALL part 30 seconds into the song.

^^ Then right after that we've got the SOMEBODY IN THE HOUSE SAY YEAAAH sample from public enemy.

Then finally the 3rd sample from Slick Rick TIC TOCK YA DONT STOP the same one used on 2Pac's song. Can be heard exactly around 4:34.

I really hope this Switch-Up is do-able. It'll be like having the CDQ of Grab The Mic ... Sort of.

I'll see what I can do!

I don't have the skill to pull it off myself, but I endorse this request

Great idea but it would be best just to remake the beat using the original Patrice Rushen Givin' It Up Is Givin' Up sample and doing it properly if you're going to do that much work.

Quicky 1 hr mix, pretty poor & rough (didn't use the Rza beat, just remade the Johnny J version)

By the way, "Grab The Mic" & "Starin Thru My Rearview" is around 8 beats per minute apart, meaning, Grab The Mic is a lot slower of a song compared to Starin Thru My Rearview, and rather than speeding up the Grab The Mic samples to where it matches STMR's original tempo, it sounded awkward & forced...I chose to kind of mix the speeds of both songs half way.

Sounds cool so far @KW

Everyone that has attempted to remake the beat failed to add a compressor to the melody. If you listen to the OG the melody has constantly the same volume while on the actual song it jumps up and down. Now I don’t know if that resulted in the leaking process (copying the song from tape etc.) but I think it’s essential in a remake

[MENTION=1313]Krysis did this mix but in reverse with grab the mic mixed over starin..

Not a bad mix

An ugly, chaotic, soulless mess.

It's pretty decent for an one hour mix/beat remake. At least he's putting something together where as you on the other hand couldn't pull off a remake of an already existing remix in 5 months
