Today's "Jewel" -- free download from dj Spooky
DJ Spooky and Chuck D (Public Enemy) -- Remix of By the Time I Get to Arizona
CLICK HERE TO LISTEN AND DOWNLOAD THE TRACK
"In the wake of Republican Governor Jan Brewer's appalling anti-immigrant law, me and Chuck D were rappin' and we decided to put together an update of his classic track By The Time I get To Arizona. Anyone who knows about hip hop from the early 90's remembers John McCain's unwillingness to endorse creating a local version of Martin Luther King's birthday. The update here is a 21st century look in the rear view mirror. The cliché that "those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it" still holds sway in our hyper amnesiac culture. I remixed D.W. Griffith's infamous film Birth of a Nation with a bit of Public Enemy in mind, and later on, they named an e.p. with the same name as my project. Me and Chuck D have done several projects in the past around progressive, non knucklehead hip hop.
Please feel free to download this track and pass it around. We are the media. Feel free to pass it around!
By the way, this is a mashup, and it's basically not really for sale. I just took a riff from Philly Sound (http://www.funkadelphiarecords.com/), and flipped it. The result, is what you hear here. It's free, and open. No $!! in peace, Paul aka DJ Spooky"I love dj Spooky. The more famous he becomes, the more he gives! You can meet him through this video:
Enjoy, love,
