Terence Ryan - Skeleton (Yeah Yeah Yeahs Remix)
Artist: Terence Ryan
Producer: Terence Ryan
Album: Skeleton EP
Label: Unsigned
In the early days rock and hip-hop lived side by side and never did the two meet…unless you count Aerosmith kicking a hole in the wall to yell at Run DMC. But in 2012 the lines between hip-hop and, well, every other genre are getting so blurry they’re ceasing to be lines at all. Case in point, Terence Ryan’s remix of indie rock band’s haunting cut Skeleton. For Skeleton’s second time around the MA and emcee beatsmith, making his The DJBooth debut today, keeps much of the original’s hazy feel intact, most notably adding some more pounding drums and anthemic chorus into the mix, giving the beat a more propulsive feel than the original. From there Ryan adds in a softly sung hook and then grabs the mic to put some of his deepest beliefs on record, touching on everything from God to school to his willingness to put his body on the line for the music he loves. With an opening shot like this there’s no telling what genres and styles will be throw in the blender for Ryan’s upcoming EP, also titled Skeleton.

 The type of genre-crossover, out-of-the-box attempt that will get a standing ovation from me almost every time. This is no exception - Terrence was a genius with this one, flow was serious and he blended perfectly with the redone beat. Speaking of that beat, damn. That's all. Damn.

Wasn't really feeling the flow, but it was catchy thanks to the production.

Not really a fan of this one. Took way too long to build-up and when it arrived I wasn't very impressed. Lyrics, delivery is average and this is just a bit too "pop"-ish for me.

Another case where the production was better than the artist.. he just seemed to be pushed aside while the production came out on top..

Ryan's flow needs lots of work, its very unpolished. However, creatively/sample-wise/direction I loved this. Walking from left field works, but never let that mask an inability to actually rap (or produce). I'd need to hear more before making up my mind on his prospects.

T-ryan is pretty unique but in an amazing way with his flow and his own productions it can't really get any better. Flow could be better on this song but I have to say the beat was amazing.

I like the yeah yeah yeahs, but I'd have to say this is the first time I've heard them sampled for a hip hop track. Pretty creative, especially using this particular song. Excellent job actually, especially after you re-listen to the original.
His verse kind of felt like a mailed in filler (it seemed very replaceable). Still, this gets points for originality 3.5 stars |
