Oh dear. I clearly have not done a very good job of keeping this up, so the best-of lists are on the back burner (thank you, junior year of college). However, I came across this epic mash-up on YouTube (a close second to pursuing the Sartorialist as a procrastination activity, again, thank you junior year of college) and felt the need to share it with whoever may stumble on this.
I LOVE mash-ups. Milkman, Girl Talk, Norwegian Recycling, SuperMash Bros, you name it. There is just something so satisfying about hearing a bunch of your favorite jams all mushed into one epic track. So when YouTube suggested I listen to this one mixed by The Hood Internet (not sure who they are but hey), I was like OKAY COOl and dug it immediately. It is (drum role please) Dead Prez's 'Hip-Hop' combined with Grizzly Bear's 'Two Weeks.' Epic. The best of both worlds, independent hip-hop and independent ambient folk, who knew they would mesh so well?
Dead Prez vs. Grizzly Bear: Two Weeks of Hip Hop
Enjoy the beat!
