The Blackest White Kid You Know presents: Mash-up Radio


As the Blackest White Kid You Know there a few responsibilities I hold myself too: 1. staying G'd up from the feet up 2. slang rocks on the streets 3. keep my pimp hand strong 4. smoke Newports 5. bridge the gap from the street life to the suburban streets and vice versa.

I take that last one very seriously. Music is a big part of my life, and I'm sure that can be said for many others black or white. So when something comes along combing the relaxing melodies of white American music mixed with the hard street lyrics of rap, I have to let the people know.

Obviously DJ Moondance feels the same way as the Kid because he mashed-up two of the greatest artists with Dave Matthews Band and Jay-Z. I literally went got hard when I first heard the Crash Album. It's got some smoothed-out blended beats with Jay-Z's lyrics from some past and present songs. Jay-Z's lyrics seem to flow with whatever beat it's put to, whether it be Led Zeppelin, the Beatles or DMB. You can't say that about everybody. The guy is just flat-out talented. Don't believe me? Check the links above to find out for yourself.

Being the Blackest White Kid You Know, I'm a big fan of mash-up music. Here a few other artist mash-ups I like. Biggie & Frank Sinatra: Bed Stuy Meets Blue Eyes. Nas & Al Green: Almatic. This is the type of shit you kick back and smoke a fast ass j to. Enjoy folks.
