I'm going through my iTunes and killing some old mp3s that I never listen to. I combine my DJ computer's library with my home computer's library, which might explain why I have both the 10 minute and the 5 minute versions of "You Spin Me Round."
I came across this little anomaly which I thought was interesting:
The first version of "Hell Yeah" was from I don't remember where. The second version is from a Jay-Z remix CD we sold at the Lab for a little while. They're both the same song, but with one slight difference: the second version has Diddy doing a 6 second intro before the song. This is ridiculous bc the song already has Jay-Z doing a 3 second intro "we together on this one! What are you going to call us now!" So, like, Jay-Z is already being proprietary before the Dead Prez song, and Diddy is being proprietary before him.
What Diddy actually says on this remix is, like all things Diddy ever says, completely irrelevant. "Shout out to the one they call Just Blaze" etc. But look at that screengrab! I now have 2 versions of the same song, one one of which is 6 seconds longer and .2 MB larger, which is totally unnecessary.
This of course is so purely and accurately representative of Diddy as a person and icon that it bears no further comment.
I guess if I were to remix this I would do a proprietary shout-out before Diddy. We could meme it up, people! Before long this song could be 1 hour long, just with various DJs hyping it up before the track itself, and of course Dead Prez would be the last poor schmoes at the end of the line, holding the bag.
ps- also I have Deadeye Dick "New Age Girl" in my iTunes
