ZHU Achieves Rare Mashup Success

I've been trying to wrap my mind around the mashup below for the past few days. What I do know is that an artist by the name of ZHU managed to blend together four Outkast tracks into a deep house track. *Sinks in* Yea, it was done...and it was done really, really well. So much so that I would venture to say that most 5-start lounges would play this in a heartbeat.

You'll notice hints of Ms. Jackson, So Fresh and So Clean, The Way You Move and The Whole World in the mix. What you won't notice is any hint of the original beats or verses by Big Boi or Andre 3000. All you're gonna get is some subtle female vocals sprinkling the samples throughout over sonically pleasing backdrop, giving the listener just enough to stay engaged. Looking at it from above, I can appreciate the design that went into this delicious audio concoction...#MovesLikeMsJackson

Who out there misses Outkast?

I for one am a big fan of the out of this world concoctions that Daddy Fat Stacks and Sir Benjamin Andre put together and long for another soul filled, drum and gorilla style 808 bass infested compilation. But that'll have to wait until they both drop solo albums this year as Big Boi has been quoted as saying:

"After I drop Sir Luscious Left Foot and Andre puts out his solo record, we’re going to hit the fans with another Outkast album, so you might get all three next year (2009)"

Lot's too look forward to off top from Outkast in the next year and even though there is no definite release date for Big Boi's new album Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty, here is the 3rd single from the album titled For Your Sorrows featuring Short Dog and George Clinton.

I'm huge fan of the stop and go drum and bass on this one...after lulling you to sleep with the dreamy George Clinton intro, Big Boi hits the gas before stopping on a dime as the beat goes from 0-60 teasing you thinking its gonna be one of those Ghettomusick style, off the coat rack, dare-you-to-catch-up-with-this beat type of 808 synth massacre. Man there's just sumthin' about that soothing Outkast bass that is relaxing to me...definitely try this one out in the trunk...
