fordmandj 0 Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 hi all, i was out last night in a club and the dj played a tune which was awsum, it was the backing/music from sweet home alabama with a phat beat and someone was rapping over it (sounded kinda like 50 cent). at the end of the tune the normal sweet home alabama was sung by the original arist aswell. i just wondered if anyone could id this tune please?? cheers, james http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/smile.gif --------------JAMES-------------- D & J BEATZ ENTERTAINMENT ------ MSN Messenger: fordmandj@hotmail.com ----- ----------- E-mail: d_jbeatz@btinternet.com ----------- Link to post Share on other sites
milhouse 0 Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 I think Eminem and Fatman Scoop have done something with the Sweet Home Alabama song... will see what i can find Link to post Share on other sites
Gary 0 Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Poor ol' "Sweet home Alabama". OK, "This stuff is really Freshhh" and "All this scratchin's makin' me itch" was gonna get stale sooner or later (about 1982 imo), but certain tunes, hooks and melodies just get used in some of these urban crossover tunes and the rapper bit might as well have been recorded on a different continent, given the lack of timing, synchronisation and interaction between the rapper and the actual part of track containing the musical content. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/1106.gif Link to post Share on other sites

The rapping simply bleeds all over the first few words of the lyrics, both near the beginning of the song, and about 3/4's of the way through. Its just like the rapper was just "set off" at a certain speed and was determined to reach the end of his sentence regardless of when it finished. Anyone else notice it on "Don't Cha?"

Yuk! http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/yucky.gif http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/thumbdown.gif I wonder if Busta was able to colour stuff in with crayons as a kid without going over the lines. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/kid.gif Him talking over the top of the real singer just sounds like a bad mix, and tricky, though not impossible, to get rid of. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif I looked at a couple of different mixes of Dont Cha to see if there was a "rap free" version, as there is with some songs, but alas...

FrankieJ 0 Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Im really into my rap music, but that sounds terrible. The best one I have heard is Nelly - Country Grammar V's Grange Hill Theme, now thats clever mixing. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/thumbup.gif DJ Frankie Knuckles.
