Kanye West vs. Marilyn Manson vs. Stevie Wonder vs. Depeche Mode vs...

This is along the lines of what I’ve been working on lately, with no one song being the “main” instrumental or acapella for longer than a few bars. There are 22 songs sampled in all - find them all and win a prize!

Power the Casbah

Kanye West vs. The Clash

By the numbers? Sure. I’m proud of myself for successfully editing the vocal out of the King Crimson sample at the end of each verse.

Soul Jamz

Kanye West vs. Death Cab for Cutie

Rap instrumentals are hard, because usually it’s just like a 4 bar loop, with little variation over the course of the track. Gotta include this just for the cover art, which I think is very good considering how little I knew about Photoshop at the time.

Jesus Christ Walks

Brand New vs. Kanye West

First mashup I ever made, featuring two artists whose public perceptions have shifted radically in the time since 😬. Still, this holds a special place in my heart and I think it’s one of the better things I’ve made. This made the Bootie Top 10 at the time, and someone else uploaded it to YouTube where it’s gotten over 100K views. Pretty neat!
