Backpack Thugs - Backpack Thugs 2005 Megamix
-
DJ Five (Abe Froman Showmen) and Pizzo (The Inhumanz) have mastered the Art of remastering with this mix tape of eccentric pairings such as: Little Brother v. David Banner, 50 Cent v. Atmosphere, Mike Jones v. Gorillaz, Ying Yang Twins v. Danger Doom. As rising stars in Vegas’ escalating nightclub DJ scene, members of respective crews The Abe Froman Showmen and The Inhumanz pay tribute to the greatest hip-hop songs of 2005 with “Backpack Thugs 2005 Megamix”. The splice together songs from both sub-genres, each song on the CD is a blend (or mash-up) of an underground song with a commercial one, bridging the gap between the best mainstream and underground hip-hop of ‘05. This unique mix not only showcases a new twist on last year’s billboard toppers, but excellent deejay skills as well.
“The approach for the mix CD was to basically showcase everything we liked last year, but to do it in a different way,” says Pizzo. “We didn’t want to just give you ‘Lose Control’ or ‘Hollaback Girl’ all over again, because you’ve heard those songs too many times already. We wanted to also spotlight some of the best stuff you didn’t hear, but present it in a familiar way,” he added. “We wanted to make the mix as smooth flowing as possible, so cats would be able to enjoy the CD from start to finish without having to skip to the next track,” says Five. “I threw in a few of my signature scratches and juggles, but without over killing the track,” he continued.
