In the music industry “love” songs come in all shapes and sizes, evolving over the years from Boyz 2 Men to Usher to R. Kelly and beyond (anyone remember Rick Astley? Me neither). In its purest form, however, the love song (and artist) manage to come full circle and create an ode worthy of its origins: a dedication to hip-hop itself. Enter Franklin Rossman, better known as The Incomparable Shakespeare (one of the most creative aliases I’ve seen to date), who’s created a tribute worthy of such weighty subject matter - Wonderwall. While producer Silver’s remixes the popular Oasis track, Shake oozes both sincerity (over the trials and tribulations he’s shared with the genre) and confidence (in the fact that he has something important to contribute to his beloved culture) over. This is the first leak from his new project, British Invasion, which listeners should welcome with open arms. Stay tuned to the Booth for more information.

Love how Shake flipped this classic record. I hadn't heard it since middle school, but it was as refreshing as ever. So, readers, what is your Wonderwall?

Nice look, mad creative! I liked the sample and the way he changed it up, a damn good way to establish yourself right off the bat.

First off, props to Shake and Silver for trying to flip a classic rock track, but I gotta be honest - I'm not sure how well it works. Maybe the production relies a little too much on the guitar line and the bass drum? Anyone else agree?

sikk how he mixed in the classic rock, but to be honest it was just alright for me, maybe too slow? could do a little more in my opinion, but still good concept.

I am really liking this. Maybe because the original Wonderwall was one of my favorites when I was younger.

Production could have used some more tweaking/bang, I guess. That being said, verses kept me entertained, flow goes well with the production. The music itself will make you hit repeat. Rotation fa sho!

For all preachers, policemen, politicians, and other folks who try to automatically pigeon-hole hip-hop as inherently destructive...today The Incomparable Shakespeare is here to give you his story, then put your words on a platter and mix them with crow (cooked medium-well).
HIP-HOP DOESN'T DO ANYTHING BAD TO ANYONE! (the bad things that happen, stupid people do). It gives people an outlet to exercise their creative powers! Writing is my "Wonderwall," and I am proud to combine the two! |

I love the Wonderwall sample. Good to see someone has finally sampled one of the best songs of all time.
The lyrics are good, though are overshadowed by the production. |

I love how they remixed this song by Oasis. I find it quite useless, though. Verses with Oasis' sample are amazing, hook less!
