Mobb Deep - Shook Ones (DJ Zinc Remix) FLAC album

Seriously? Fifty quid? It's a good tune. but come on! It's not even rare!

Great tune but as you say not that rare and not worth 50 sovs!

Zinc does what was needed with this one. Starts out with a hard breakbeat for the djs to mix it in and then you hear Prodigy's infamous (pun intended) first verse. And along with it the classic guitarloop from the original. Zinc teases in the dishing amen with some delays & modulation effects and once Prodigy's verse comes to the end. You have an awesome drop where the bass is loading up and then it hits you. A really hard bassline, a hard amen break and of course the classic hook. And there you have it, pure brilliance. When you are dealing with an original which going to have every hoodiewearing 90's-hiphopjunkie bobbing their head, you just need to add that extra to make them bang their heads and also move their feet for once.

I've always loved Zinc's cheeky reworks of hip hop tracks and this one is a banger as moonmaniac has described it. I seem to recall he did a version of Kanye's 'Jesus Walks' tracks in a similar style - though it was a while back now...
