810 & The Black Sunn - Mr. Good Bar (2010 Remix)
Artist: 810 & The Black Sunn
Featuring: 810 , The Black Sunn
Producer: Ion the Prize
Album: Kevin Nottingham Presents: Mama Said Knock You Out
Label: Unsigned
I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve never been a big fan of Hershey’s Mr. Goodbar. It’s not bad or anything, but I’d choose a Milk Chocolate With Almonds over it any day of the week. Now the song Mr. Good Bar, off LL Cool J‘s Mama Said Knock You Out LP, is an entirely different story – the words “timeless classic” come to mind. Today, Black Serenade twosome (and solo Booth faves) The Black Sunn and 810 attempt the tough task of bringing that iconic cut into the ‘00s with a 2010 Remix, and… drumroll please… the result is, to my ears, a resounding success. Far from a by-the-numbers revamp, this update finds punnily-named producer Ion the Prize imitating the spirit rather than the sound of the original, serving up a soulfully brassy beat which the Baltimore rhymesayers proceed to lace with appropriately smooth, agile old school-informed game spitting. Does this remix leave you itching to hear more talented up-and-comers give their take on tracks off LL’s most classic LP? If so, you won’t want to miss the Kevin Nottingham-sponsored Mama Said Knock You Out remix album when it hits the ‘net on August 27.

How can you not love a well done LL Cool J remake? This is like the new Batman movie franchise. Its not necessarily better than the original version, but by itself it can stand on its own two.
Props to Kevin for putting this project together.

Both of these guys are from Baltimore, and judging by that pic, it's cold as f**k in Baltimore.
Really liked this track in and of itself, but I have to be honest, I'm a little unclear on how this is a remake or remix. It shares the same title, some production touches and a broad topic (women), but other than that, this and LL's original seem like completely independent tracks. Regardless, enjoyed the hell out of this.

Thanks for the support on this guys. The remix album is a work in progress. Basically we held a remix contest earlier this year for producers to remix each song using the original samples.
"Mr. Good Bar" is the second leak from the project. If you missed the first (Jingling Baby), I highly recommend you check that out: http://kevinnottingham.com/2010/06/01/jd-riggz-ayatollah-jaxx-el-prez-jinglin-baby-2010-remix-prod-by-dj-ill-one-the-beatsmith/ |
