REMIX ALERT! I should one day ask why the switch to the remix lane, but I’ve been too busy enjoying and reviewing the content to care! He’s been on a mission to change history in his image on some takeover shit, and regardless of if you prefer his versions or not, you can’t help but respect his balls in trying the mission!
This latest single is a WEST SIDE GUNN cut from the track ‘BLOW HENDRY’ off his latest album. On that track (the original), we have the MC who calls himself MIKE on the mic!
Now I’ll be honest, after going back and forth between the original and the remix, I hands down prefer Gustavo!
Once again, as far as the beat is concerned I may describe it briefly but I’m writing this under the premise that you’ve heard the original and want to hear what a remix would sound like. If you haven’t yet go check that out first for context!
Now, I don’t know who this MIKE guy is, no disrespect to him and his, but this track would have benefited tenfold with the overwhelming charisma and energy of a GUSTAVO instead! He does this track justice!
He starts swinging right off the bat, dropping those cleverly worded bars, fun puns, and complex lyricism to spin your head around 360! His voice and cadence suit this beat quite well as he provides a contrast to the smooth/soul beat with his trademark brand of controlled chaos and unpredictable freelance rhythm that makes all his verses feel that much more entertaining and memorable!
Also, he adds like 20 seconds extra then on the original track. So not only does he perform better than the guy on the main track, but he adds more time to it! That’s some gangsta flex shit, like ‘nah I can easily do more than what you offered’ on someone’s own beat! That’s solid as fuck.
He’s continuing his streak of remix tracks that offer a refreshing parallel between the original and the remix! Give the audience a mirror into ‘what could be’, and I’d safely say in that respect he hasn’t missed yet!
Another great remix to check the fuck out!
