However, the Bootie folks make fantastic mashups and their Best of CDs are almost always great. This is a terrific find, btw.

There's something that often bugs me about lots of mashups of hiphop + a more melodic and generally more interestingly written song, like this one or DJ Danger Mouse's whole Grey Album - the boring, dick-waving hiphop track gets included almost completely, like it's so deserving of respect its lyrical integrity must be preserved, and the more interesting piece gets included only in the form of a looped riff to put behind the rapping, and a repeated chorus. Mashups where neither piece is hiphop don't seem to suffer that problem. Maybe it's because it's easy to fall into the standard hiphop production style - make a loop to rap over, make a longer sample for a chorus, and go... I say all this coming from a very limited DJ background - any mashup type stuff I've done has been around playing two whole tracks in sync, more or less from start to finish, with just cross fades & level mixes between them, and an occasional sample snatched from one track thrown back in later. So of course my way is better, you know... I thought that was pretty cool, so now I’m going to whinge about it (sort of).
