The Conscious Daughters..

That's right, time for dat bay shit, bee-otch. I originally promised two TCD remixes, but I still haven't found the doper one, which is a remix of "We Roll Deeper" that goes harder than adamantium. That said, this remix of "Something To Ride To(Funky Expedition)" is some laid back ridin' shit for real, even more so than the album version. Personally, I always felt that Paris' work on the first TCD album (including these two remixes) is probably his best work. That's sayin'a lot if you value the production on the first two Paris solos as much as I do. Pretty much the only element left over from the LP version is the main synth lead, he basically flips it into the tightest replay of SOS Band's "No One's Gonna Love You" you'll ever hear:

Compton's Most Wanted Punk, Rollin' 4 Deep..

West really goin on. Uh-huh, A triple shot of CMW. Yeah, I know this blog ain't called Compton-Only Remix, but I haven't updated in a while and need more CONTENT, so while I'm digging around for some stuff I'm actually looking for (most notably, some Boss & Conscious Daughters remixes..), you're gonna get treated to what I find along the way.

That said, these are all damn good, so don't sleep on ANY of these remixes. If it ain't at least decent, I ain't gonna trouble you with it (and the very reason I'm not posting some mediocre DFC remixes I found last week..).

Streiht Up Menace (remix) - This is a funky remix of an already dope jam. I'll go so far to say it actually surpasses the original. Different drum break, with some tight stereo-panning (something I always liked about CMW's production) and new funky laid back keyboard lead. I think this might be the first DJ Slip production without the help of the DJ Unknown. If so, he doesn't miss a beat. Original version appears on the Menace to Society OST.

Growin' Up in the Hood (remix) - You think "More Bounce to the Ounce" loops are played out? Check this out, then get back to me. Remixed by Unknown & Slip, Original version appears on "Straight Checkin' Em" LP.

The Hood Took Me Under (remix) - The Isaac Hayes sample from the original is layered with another loop (I should know what this is, it's the same as Boss' "Deeper" & Main Source's "Just Hangin' Out", just can't place it right now). Anyway, the additional sample really turns it out. Remixed by DJ Slip & Unknown, orignal version appears on "Music To Driveby" LP.

Boy You Shoulda Known By Now..

West really, peoples?

So I wanted to start this here blog off with a bang and was gonna hook up two prime-time The Conscious Daughters remixes produced by Paris that are dope as fuck. If you like some West Coast Ridin' Shit (not to be confused with West Coast Rider Shit), you will LOVE these two remixes. Unfortunately, I've been unable to locate one of the two vinyls so far, but I know it's here somewhere in these 4,000 records, so stay tuned for that one.

Instead, I'm gonna start things out with a small pop at least, with a couple of Eazy E remixes that I had completely forgotton about:

"Still Talkin'" (remix) & "We Want Eazy" (remix)

We Want Eazy was interestingly co-produced by MC Ren(?) If anyone wants to take a guess at what Ren does here, feel free.

Both are remixed versions of songs that originally appeared on Eazy Duz It and both are produced by High-Powered Productions(Dre & Yella's old production team, if ya didn't know). Both are also remixes based around the original versions of the tracks. In the case of Still Talkin', one of the background wino weed carriers even makes fun of this fact. Still, most of the production additions are decent. But the biggest payoff here would have to be the added lyrics. Eazy kicks some new rhymes for Still Talkin' and I believe Ren, Dre & Eazy all come differently on parts of We Want Eazy too.

Like the man said: "I missed Spinks and Tyson, I ain't gone miss this!"
