Why do some people get tired of remixes? What their little bird brains fail to realize is that you can never have too many mash-ups. Same with ranch – no such thing as “too much ranch”.
This collection is well done, and you can download it for free. But you shouldn’t, because if you dish out some cash for it, the money goes to a youth writing charity so little kids can grow up to be healthy powerbloggers.
The follow up to The Notorious xx, This Is Real Life seamlessly blends familiar hip hop artists with an array of indie rock tracks to create a mixtape that pushes traditional notions of genre and delivers a mix that showcases rarely heard aspects of each side.

If you didn’t catch the Notorious xx you’d better. Ever wondered what would happen if you mashed up the silky-tight guitar’n’B of the XX and the hard rhyming of my favorite rap icon Notorious B.I.G.? Me, neither.
Still, I’ve got to admit that Wait What’s new remix album, titled The Notorious XX, is pretty intriguing.
Instead of cutting and pasting, Wait What has mostly just toyed with the XX’s tempos, laying Biggie’s verses on top of what are essentially just the former’s unharmed instrumentals. The result is below.
