Oh fucking shit! We are going there! Out of all the remix beats I thought I’d hear, this wouldn’t be one of them! We talking new CLIPSE instrumental? Talk about a tall order, but if anyone can achieve this, I’m sure he can!
We have a brand new remix freestyle by MC Jhiakana, and as he’s rapping over the beat with the same name done by Pharrell! And when I say tall order, I mean it because he’s going to try out rap PUSHA T and NO MALICE, two of the strongest lyricists in the game right now, and for that attempt alone, he gets my respect, but the all-important question, what is the result?
Well, not bad at all! You have to also remember the original track is a duo track back and forth, so to try not only to do a dope remix but be the energy of two men (plus Dream), that’s a task and a half, and yet I feel confident that he did a worthy remix freestyle!
He has a strong, steady flow with a confident cadence! He’s set up a solid structure with regular intervals of bars, none of this ‘free form’ shit, but precise and accurate bars that land on the beat exactly where it should be (exactly like CLIPSE).
His wordplay is also vivid and interesting, with different topics being introspective social commentary to clever puns to wrestling references! He covers everything and does it in a slick way!
If this truly was a freestyle, as in all of the top, no planning, that’s ridiculous how good it came out! He’s done a few of them this year, and this might be his best yet, also because he suits the production so well!
All in all, another phenomenal remix. I hope this is all an interlude to a bunch of new music to come, but for now, dope excellence that is executed straight to the heart and the foundation! So I’m gonna get up outta here and drop the anvil with my sharpshooter!
