As I mentioned before, I’m working on this Baltimore music site called 41yo.Com. I’m probably going to be pushing it pretty hard and obnoxiously but I’m also excited about it, so deal with it. I’ll be updating it daily with the kind of stuff I usually do here, also some typical “Web 2.0″ stuff like videos and mp3s, and some super-nerdy old Baltimore Club rarities and mixes and stuff too. Anyway, my first piece is a little essay on “I’m the Shit” by DJ Class, especially the Kanye West remix:
“Late last week, yet another kinda surreal remix of DJ Class’ Baltimore Club crossover blasted across the internet. This time though, it wasn’t relegated to club or radio-rap friendly blogs only. Sites like 2 Dope Boyz and the hip-hop oriented (though Baltimore friendly) Metal Lungies…hell even Internets Celebrity Dallas Penn is on his “I’m the Shit” shit.
The “I’m the Shit (Remix)” featuring Kanye West feels like the true arrival of DJ Class’ song, something of a guarantee the hype won’t stop or stumble or be curtailed by those that seem only interested in pushing seven or so artists interchangeably over seven or so of the same beats.”
