Beef Remix Week, Friday Sunday : Descry's Got The Look
Remix Week Hip-Hop Remix Audio Beef Today. Descry gives N.E.R.D. The Look.
'N.E.R.D. - She Wants To Move (Native Tongue Remix)'
'N.E.R.D. - She Wants To Move (Descry's The Look Remix)'
Original on the 2004 N.E.R.D. album Fly Or Die. Native Tongue Remix from the CD Single She Wants To Move. Descry remix from the upcoming promo Beatcrafters Mixes And Blends
First things first, I know it's not Friday. It turns out I was unable to get clearance from the artist to post the remix I was planning to post on Friday. I had to come up with something suitably special for the end of the first ever Nuclear Beef Remix Week, so.. um.. it took me until Sunday. Yeah, that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it.
Here's an another excellent remix from Bay Area producer Descry. He re-imagines a N.E.R.D. party jam as a syrupy romantic meditation. He only uses three verses from the Native Tongue remix : Common, Mos Def and Q-Tip. Behind this is a bold sample from Vic Damone's 'The Look Of Love.' The drums have that thump that I love and each MC sounds exactly on beat. Take my word for it, that's not a simple task considering the quirkiness of the original beat!
What's truly remarkable about this remix is that I have been a fan of the N.E.R.D. remix for a while, but didn't recognize the verses in Descry's remix. I think it means that you've succeeded, when the same verse sounds totally different over a new track.
Thanks for reading, listening and hopefully enjoying the first ever Nuclear Beef Remix Week. Here's a recap for those who are late to the party :
