Okay, so those of you who know me know that I’m a sucker for a good mashup. And, while this isn’t nearly the best produced mashup I’ve ever heard (its core is definitely too short, for one), I was thoroughly impressed when I just listened to it for the first time.
My buddy Max at work turned me on to the Blue Eyes Meets Bed-Stuy album today at work, and I can’t wait to listen to the whole thing tomorrow. This track was just too enticing to leave alone for tonight. And now that I listened to it… well, I’m glad I gave in.
Anything that combines my love of Biggie and Sinatra is great by me.
Hell, this city’s why I first started listening to Sinatra — I picked up this Greatest Hits vinyl for a buck or two at the inaugural Pitchfork Fest. Thank you, Chicago!
