man i ordered that new jay z album acapella and it just got here.
the whole thing acapella. what to do with it, what to do. so many options.
i don't think the black album is the best but it is so damn rare to get a whole album acapella. exciting!

Yeah, mad peeps are remixing this whole ablum right now.... Follow in 9th Wonder's footsteps after the sucess of God Stepson, the Nas album remix.

i don't know i just thought it might be fun to do a whole album. i have a bunch of 12" acapellas, but never a whole album.
my favorite right now is a record of dancehall acapellas.
that is just plain fun.

I picked up Nas' "Stillmatic" 2-disc album with all Acapellas down in London for about 18 quid ($30). Niceness......

They sell the double LP of Jay Z acapellas at Sandbox.pair.com, and I think hiphopsite.com has them back in... I was gonna cop one but there's already two mix CD's of cats that did them already, I knew they were gonna jump on it hard but this is ridiculous... it's been out like two weeks and already they have cd's out....

By gordongecko23 Fri Dec 12, 2003 5:57 pm
yeah i knew people would jup on it. i just figured i would do it for the fun of it. just to see what it would be like. i am not a huge fan of all the songs though.

Wack ! I heard some tracks from both of the "remix" cd's...I knew catz would be jumping on the black acapella, but damn. Remixing an album is a good idea to get your name out there as a producer (it worked for 9th Wonder, who, by the way produced a track for Jay's Balck Album), but rushing out a cd (one by Kev Brown and the other by Cardinal Offishall's producer) was not a wise move. I mean, let the original mix die down a little before hitting the streets with a remix joint. That said, my version will be in your neigborhood bodaga by Feb/Mar :lol:

I saw that www.turntablelab.com has the dirty versions of the acapellas, the promo joints were clean.

im a dj too, the reason a lot of people have mix cds out allready is because they been sent all the dj's the the acappella album. i got mine months ago
and the orginal album way before that for some reason they are really working extra hard to promote this album than usally
