Gorillaz - Stylo (Chiddy Bang Remix)
Artist: Gorillaz
Featuring: Mos Def , Chiddy Bang
Producer: Chiddy Bang
Album: Plastic Beach
Label: EMI
In November 2009, up-and-coming emcee/producer duo Chiddy Bang spun a sample from MGMT‘s KIDS Kid CuDi/MGMT collabo Pursuit of Happiness
into The Opposite of Adults, a reader-acclaimed meditation on cash, music and youth. Now, Chiddy (the emcee) and producer Xaphoon Jones are back on our front page with their remixed version of a another, similarly genre-defying cut: cartoon trip-hop foursome Gorillaz’ latest single, Stylo. Flowing over his partner’s aquatic-sounding, extra-spacey reinterpretation of the group’s downbeat groove, Chiddy supplements original guest feature Mos Def‘s brief contribution with two energetic verses, reveling in his status as a Cali heavyweight and pondering where he’d be without music in his life. Topped off with a few ad-libs from singer/songwriter Bobby Womack (cut from his lengthier contribution to the original), this remix should leave listeners hungry for more from Chiddy Bang and Gorillaz, the latter of whom are set to drop their third full-length, Plastic Beach, on April 28.

The Gorillaz are NOT for everyone. Hell, I was not a fan for years. However, I dig everything about this record (mostly Chiddy Bang, who has come on strong the past few months).
Looking forward to the new album. What do you think, Booth community? Should we feature more Gorillaz in the weeks leading up to their April album drop???

Making the Gorillaz sound even stranger is like making Lindsay Lohan look even more coked out, but Chiddy Bang somehow managed to do it. Well done sir.
And yes, if only for a change of pace, let's Gorrilafy the Booth leading up to the album.

"In November 2009, up-and-coming emcee/producer duo Chiddy Bang spun a sample from Kid CuDi/MGMT collabo Pursuit of Happiness into The Opposite of Adults (KIDS), a reader-acclaimed meditation on cash, music and youth."
Editor's Note: The sample wasn't spun from Cudi's Pursuit of Happiness - a song which was produced by RATATAT; the sample actually comes from MGMT's hit song KIDS off of their album Oracular Spectacular which came out sometime in late 2007/early 2008 - hence the name of the song.... As for this track, I like it. I was really feeling that Swelly Expressy Mixtape that Chiddy Bang put out and this is in the same vein. They're having fun and they're staying original (I mean as much as they can be when remixing tracks by others...) |

Big Fan of the Gorillaz. I for one was disappointed we didn't feature the original version of this. Sh*t is crack to me. It took me a couple of listens to warm up to this, but then I realized this is what a REMIX should be instead of just interchanging guest 16s.

YES more Gorillaz please, i'm really feeling their different style.
def need to post "White Flag" by Gorillaz feat Kano and Bashy ... British MC's Kano and Bashy are sick and deserve more recognition. |

Taking two different genre's and meshing them together so flawlessly is progress. Gorillaz were perfect for this track, it's a cult classic, not for everyone but for some this is poetry. Strong bars- and I agree that a remix isn't just different rappers on the same beat. 3.5 def
