There's a new remix contest going on at
ccMixter, and I'm trying my hand at it once again. This time the victim is
Fort Minor, Mike Shinoda's parallel project (yeah, the guy from Linkin Park).
The interesting part is that I
don't like Fort Minor or Linkin Park - and dont hold great simpathy for Shinoda either. The original track itself is not that great: its your regular "I'm fuckin' awesome, yo" type of rap. Anyway, when I first heard the song I immediately had ideas for a remix, so there you go. The prize is quite interesting - a Technics SL1200 Mk5 turntable, which I really dont know how they're gonna send to Brazil if I win - and the only thing I spent making the remix was time. The final result is
here. I think it's better than the original, but I'm rather suspect. ;-)
