[NobodobodoN]

Great video collage. Lots of fun clips, and the timing was good, too.

Do you mind if I ask what video editing software you used?

[simonfrederickson]

Got it.Rebel without a pause :)

[simonfrederickson]

Great stuff,cheers.I'm still trying to find 'terminator x'

[burgercide]

this is what music is about. it's a fucking miracle. and it wouldn't exist without alpert, PE and the ECC. it requires all of them.

[tjodolF2]

Both camps (Alpert and Public Enemy) wanted this to come out, they thought it was great, neither party actually managed to sort out all the red tape and sign a contract, but in the end, the ECC just issued it anyway. The single was successful enough to go through five pressings, there was no legal pressure from either camp ever.

[princeminski47]

Gunderphonics! That was it. Re-release, please!!! W/o the Alpert crap if he sued.

[swangonce]

that blew

[nyczek88]

Crap

[VHShit]

This was sweet. Great job! Only part of the vid I did not like was that damn burger king.

[bitesizeme]

Agreed. Damn Burger king. I have this somwhere on a tape and thought I might never see it surface again but I like it better than the original PE one.

[ichbineintoober]

My name's Hi.

[UnderAchieversUnited]

I freakin love ECC!

[aghily]

First of all, both music and video is brilliant. Secondly, how does one obtain just vocals from a song. I've tried a few programs but they do a lousy job.

[DJAlanGreenspan]

I think PE posted the vocals sans music a long time ago. But you'll have to ask the ECC to be sure.

[felixbunke]

I'm pretty sure that PE did that, inviting people to remix their songs, with the best remixes to be included on an album. They did include some of these remixes on their _Revolverlution_ album in 2002, including a fan-submitted remix of "Arizona."

However, the ECC's version was released on their _Gunderphonics_ album in 1994, which, I believe, was years before PE did that. Being a sort of techno-geek audio collage / mashup group, though, I think ECC probably just did it on their own.

[youngsoulrebel81]

According to the ECC website, the vox-only PE tracks were on a capella takes released on the singles.

[jenns71]

I wish I could do an Irish jig like that.I just don't have the celtic blood in me I guess.

[ChrisCovais]

crap

[banani06]

Nice! I have the original 7" of this. Evolution Control Committee was sued.  Herb Albert sued them. PE didn't. I'm going to play this thing at my wedding.

[DJAlanGreenspan]

Figures that PE would get it and Albert wouldn't. I tried listening to some of his other stuff; cats humping are more interesting to listen to.

[Apoisonoussnake]

Alpert is the one that gets it. His intellectual property was stolen by people with nowhere near his talent. DJs deserve little credits for these mixes. They are nothing but leeches.

[DJAlanGreenspan]

Creating hybrids of existing art is as old as cave painting.  What makes this track great isn't that it uses HA&TB-- there's any number of instrumentals they COULD have chosen-- it's how it uses that track, intermixed with PE, to make a commentary on both tracks simultaneously. But if, in the 21st century, you can't deal with sampling... best of luck, cause it's gonna get worse.

[SiveyBeats]

boo-fucking-hoo

[qseep]

Herb Alpert (with Jerry Moss) founded A&M Records. So of course he's on the record company side.

[youngsoulrebel81]

Not only did PE not sue, but Chuck D has gone on the record in interview saying "I think it's great".

[000oKINGoKONGo000]

LOVE it

[ichbineintoober]

Wow those guys are quite possibly my favorite niggers. Ever see them in person? They think they're people. It's so cute.

Got that sweet spot from about 1:08 to 1:16 heheeee yeah

btw raising arizona had some good little moments. oh ty cohens. We'll let you live an extra second or two i suppose. Tribute.

[Leoncharlesblanc]

It's a remix, twitboy. Go post on the original if you're going to spout moronic superiority-babble.

[ichbineintoober]

Ever see a bullet go through a kike's head? Yeah it's a mess but its worth it.

[DJAlanGreenspan]

Grow up.

[kaiserwull]

Always loved this mix. Nice work with the video too, cheers.

[LtEggman5]

I love this 'mash-up', they fit so nice, real nice. Good job, yo.

[elshambo]

its was banned for content abuse!? only place i could find a working copy was on msn, says it all really

anyhu cheers

[elshambo]

actually dont bother it will only be taken down again by the tube lol

[DJAlanGreenspan]

There used to be some on youtube, all gone now. At one point there were some PE videos streamed elsewhere, but it took some digging on Google. Rumors abound that PE will eventually put out a dvd, but no firm word.

[elshambo]

any chance you would just put up the original PE video?
