I, me, myself, have died and gone to the Hood Internet

Alright, so I am tempted to pinch myself or perform some sort of masochistic act in attempt to wake myself from what I can only assume to be a dream. I will preface this post with the fact that as well as a huge hip-hop fan (pickier than most) I am an even bigger electronic-scene fan, but I'm hoping this can be exciting for anyone who likes music at all since these guys seem to be drawing from a lot of genres.



Here's one of their masterfully done song covers (for "Fire Bird"/Modest Mouse x Lil' Wayne) that combine both artists in one photo.


Basically what I have just unwittingly come across, is a site, run by what looks to be two normal looking, if anything mediocre indie-band San Franciscans, who as unlikely as it may seem, enjoy mashing up songs. And if you can't tell from the way I've been hyping it, the tracks are fucking sick. Not only that, but the artists that they have mashed-up with (I'm a slutty music whore so I recognize about 95% of them) are in some cases, while still quality as shit, unknown to the average music-listener. So while the giddy excitement I have may only reflect the views of someone who not only loves hip-hop, but indie bands and LOUD electro-movement music as well, a lot of these tracks would have even impressed Helen Keller.

Enter the slap-matic zone: The Hood Internet
