You can pretty much take any shitty rap lyrics and lay them over this Grizzly Bear sample and it'll be good. That's because most rap isn't music. It's just someone babbling in a monotone about themselves set to a rhythm.
Not too bad, Grizzly Bear kicks ass, and their beat for two weeks will probably be in hip hop tracks for years to come. It's the piano. Makes it irresistable.
@slimmecb if you google the track title and you should find a site that's hosting free downloads. can't vouch for it -- someone else must've ripped it.
@TheXYZProject cool story bro, but you are wrong. if you count off the tempo of both the jay z and the grizzly bear parts theyre exactly aligned, if it was offbeat the both tracks wouldnt be close to eachother at the end of the song.
@echittum I didnt mention the tempo. I mentioned how horribly mixed it is, maybe just maybe if someone accually put some time into mixing them well it could work. & it kinda works but I can get a better result with just playing both songs at the same time...... same thing really. BUT thats just me andeveryones got there own opinion, plus if everyone enjoyed the same kinda of music I wouldnt bother to lisen to any.
@narwales you dont know s#$^% about music haha. These two songs mesh and compliment eachother perfectly. bpm has nothing to do with how two songs sound together
@DrumMayne again i'm not discouraging him from trying. parts of it work, but the BPM of Jay Z's vocals during some of the verses don't match up with the back beat and the Grizzly Bear melody. and i clearly do know shit about music as you probably haven't watched my music on my page. i am a musician and in the past i have done mashups that have failed terribly. this isn't HORRIBLE.
but then yet again society freaks out when it comes to negative criticism sometimes.
this is pretty decent. hahaha [brushes dirt off shoulder]

This is actually pretty sick but I dunno, I think I'd like it more if there was no rapping over the two weeks chorus.

kind of a fail. i like the fact that you've attempted. but those songs BPMs just don't match up.
i think 99 problems/two weeks would've worked better.
but again, i'm not discouraging you from trying.
i've always thought Jay Z and Grizzly Bear deserved to be mashed up.

@narwales you clearly don't understand how mashups work. You can change the BPM, which is what is happening here
