Artists: Notorious B.I.G. and Frank Sinatra
Mixtapes: Jon Moskowitz Presents Blue Eyes Meets Bed-Stuy
Representing: New York, New York
Info: We've heard some pretty remarkable unauthorized pairings via blends, original production and mash-ups in the last few years on the mixtape scene, with Jay-Z and the Beatles leading the pack. Now Big, who appears on more mixtapes every week than most living artists do, has been teamed up with the original king of New York, Frank Sinatra, by up-and-coming producers DJ Cappel and Smitty. They took Big's a cappellas and matched them with original beats sampled from Frank Sinatra records. Let's face it, though: both Frank Sinatra and Frank White sound marvelous over anything.
Look for:
* "Everyday Struggle/ A Day in the Life of a Fool." Biggie raps over an esoteric-sounding mix of drums and keys, but Sinatra's vocals serve as half the chorus — "a daaayyy in the life of a fool" — before Big comes in with "I don't wanna live no mo'. Sometime I hear death knocking at my front door."
* "Nasty Boy/ For Every Man There's a Woman." It's all about the drums here. When you hear it, you can imagine how Big would've ripped a raw rap over this one. Unlike Sinatra, he probably would've laid down a gangsta tale rather than croon about the ladies. Blue Eyes is held to the intro.
* "Ten Crack Commandments/ Fools Rush In." The producers switch up the vibe this time. The vibe is so much more laid-back than DJ Premier's original — but that doesn't mean Big's voice is any less compelling.
