I went a little crazy over Santigold's and Diplo's "Top Ranking" mixtape when it came out almost 12(!!!) years ago, a cool grooving mix of hip-hop, new wave, reggae, punk, dub, and more. Tracks from a variety of artists flowed seamlessly into Santigold's own songs and back again. Just awesome stuff. The highlight for me though was the MIA assisted and Gorilla Zoe sampled "Get It Up." Listen below, our Daily Jam.
A friend recently reminded me of this song, noting that i had written about it on the blog years ago, and that it always reminded him of me now. I can get behind that kind of endorsement. Featured on the 2011 mixtape "Fear and Loathing in HuntsVegas," Diplo's remix of the Paper Route Gangstaz track "Bama Gettin Money" features a Wham! sample and some southern ghetto verses. I fucking love it. Listen below, your Daily Jam...
