We all know that I love a nice mash-up as much as the next person. But it is rare that we hear a “concept mashup”, which is exactly what we’ve got ourselves today thanks to The Hood Internet. That is, each portion of the track is a mashup of two songs from each year of the past decade. Two songs from 2000, 2001, etc. See the full list of tracks by year below. I first heard this track last night thanks to James at Mediated Media and it was pretty much love at first site. I definitely smiled more than once when the song would break into the next year/mashup.
How many of these songs were you able to identify on your own?
2000 – Dr. Dre vs Radiohead
2001 – Missy Elliott vs Daft Punk
2002 – Ludacris vs The New Pornographers
2003 – Kelis vs The Rapture
2004 – Twista f/ Kanye West vs Arcade Fire
2005 – Three 6 Mafia vs Sufjan Stevens
2006 – T.I. vs Peter Bjorn and John
2007 – Rich Boy vs LCD Soundsystem
2008 – Lil Wayne vs Hot Chip
2009 – Jay Sean vs Phoenix
I think the strangest part for me is realizing that Idioteque is 10 years old. Holy Canoli!
PS. how awesome is this pic? I borrowed it from My Old Kentucky Blog and they are good.

this is super fun!!
and chris, that t.i. song is what i was trying to think of a long time ago (girl talk uses it as well). do you know what it’s called?
[Reply]
oh sweet, i just realized that wikipedia lists all of girl talk’s samples for each song. i will figure this out!
[Reply]
case closed: the sample comes from “stay fly” by three 6 mafia feat. young buck and 8ball & MJG, and the girl talk song is ‘that’s my dj’ on ‘night ripper.’ i don’t know about you, but i will rest better tonight

Using “Throw Some D’s” in a mash-up after Feed the Animals? That’s not going to work.
