DJ Chong Wizard & DJ Filthy Rich - Be Kind Rewind

I just saw the movie that this project borrows from and I was diggin' it. Props to these DJs for going back to movie theme mixtapes. "I Really Mean It" is that shit. I really only can hear Jay on certain beats and this one if proper. "Live By The Gun" got Rhymfest sounding like he gangsta for real. It's funny what a beat will do to set the tone of a song. Credit that to the DJ. While we talking about setting a tone, peep AZ laid back on "Boss' Life". Only Chong Wizard would go to the crates and dig up the Bush Babees for "Memory Lane". Matter of fact peep the next few tracks: You got the Bush Babees, Willie The Kid, Super Lover Cee, Mac Dre and Slick Rick. How fly is that? Man, you don't get mixtapes like this and these are blends too.

On the Filthy Rich side of things, "Metal Thangz" is the wheel. I love DMX's raw energy on a track regardless if he's a barely functioning crack head. Who said beats don't make the blends? Shit, listen to Queen Latifah on "Black hand Side" and tell me that beat doesn't snap your neck again. I haven't heard Nine in years man. Biggie doesn't sound half bad over that beat on "Whucha Want" either. I like how he flipped the hook especially. Filthy Rich got busy with Pun on "Dream Shatterer", Kool G. Rap on "On The Run" and Nas on "It Ain't Hard To Tell". That was his classic part right there. The surprise blend was 2 Pac over "Gangsta's Paradise". I hate the song by Coolio, mad wiggers around my way used to bump this song when it dropped so it ruined it for me but Pac sounds decent.

You know why this project is bangin'? Cause although the concept is very loose and it's really just a collection of dope blends it's still a perfect fit. Just like in the movie, how they re-made (sweded) different movies in their own way that's exactly what Chong Wizard and Filthy Rich do on this mixtape. It's so basic that's its genius. *(pays homage).
