Ratatat

Im not going to lie, I love rap. Like most middle class white kids, I grew up listening to 2pac and Biggie. Nowadays, I can’t get enough of rappers like the Clipse and Ghostface. Its hard for me to constantly listen to it though, every once and a while I want to listen to something that’s not hard as fuck. While Im a pretty big fan of beatmakers like Dilla and RJD2, the softer stuff with little or no lyrics, it still leaves something to be desired. Ratatat has recently filled the void for me. I might be a little late on the uptake when comes to the remixing duo but who cares, I hadn’t heard of them till a little while ago so that means they’re still relatively unknown. In their remixes of classic bangers like Young Buck’s “Stomp”, Jay-Z’s “Allure” and Biggie’s “Party & Bullshit” I get the dope rhymes I crave with easy listening beats, I love it. Check them out by downloading their latest mixtape here.

    vol. 1 is rad to. i thought i would be helpful and post track lists. and there is a wrong entry on the download of version i got way back that doesn’t say that the game is on the stomp remix when he very clearly is. it should also be noted that Ratatat did not make these mixes in any way. but ratatat’s solo stuff is amazing and a lot of the remix original instrumental tracks are on their demo disc.
