Jay-Z & Death Cab for cutie-Marching bands of Manhattan

[geegeedoc]

so I loved this maybe its because im an optimist maybe its because i like dcfc and jay-z, maybe its because i like GOOD music. I mean, this person made jay-z and death cab work. thats REALLY hard. Other than the ending when jay- says fuck this where he should've put the last chord of marching bands of manhattan. It was amazng.

[DaRumblyTank]

For what it is I think it was great. Very well done. I mean DCFC is my fav band, so it is weird hearing rap over it. I wouldn't say I love it, but I respect the quality of the mashup.

[eBeez123]

Seriously, rap goes along with nothing. You can't put beats and jay-z rappin with words like 'nigga' with death cab for cutie, it doesn't work.

[frankiesMCRmygirl]

My ears just got raped... jay-z does not deserve the time of day from anyone. Can't believe I seriously just heard "nigga" in a dcfc song.

[CaptainAriadne712]

@frankiesMCRmygirl yeah, me too. this is weird. oh, btw, LUV MCR FOREVER.

[bassrock200]

I hope Inferno17's Balls fall off.

[takncareofbidnes]

jay-z has transgressed often- and this time it's probably worse than anything diddy has ever done. anyone who thinks this is good has no sense of the difference between what 'sounds' good, and what is actually good. In other words, they're Jay-Z fans that like to pose as Death Cab for Cutie fans.

my .02.

[MrBigmansam]

stfu, this is FUCKING GOOD! in fact, i'm gonna put this on my ipod, and listen to it with all my other deathcab stuff. bitches:)

[maddiecass]

i thought my speakers were (finally) broken!!!! O.\o

[kunes100]

no, just...no



[wolvespat]

If the sound quality wasn't so ridiculously awful, this would be pretty cool.

[athelemakindoflove]

Bad ass!!

[Predators094]

I think this is honestly sick... such a good remix thanks!

[bakester14]

Ahhhwwww the mix isn't right. It would be a good remix if you could hear the original DCFC part, but there's only some noisy drum beats. You can barely hear Jay-Z.

[randomtoaster1989]

Obviously people who want to bum DCFC and try to look cool are gonna hate this, primarily because it's rap, but hey this is seriously good, it flows together perfectly, i'd buy it!

[DrSchadenfreude]

Why has this only got 20,000 views? I'm not saying it couldn't be improved but in general it works really well.I've been listening to this mix for years now, especially when I have exams and need to chill out. Just thought I should probably thank you for it...

[fishrfine]

O.o Wellllll... that was different... and by different, I mean... >.> 

[twilight0sylum0forme]

 I think the rap portion of the song is a cool idea, I just don't think his rapping had much to do with the song, and I personally don't have a soft spot for Jay-Z.

[Xxnicoroxxx]

Woah seriously sounds like owl city in the first part with the lyrics

[mmmmmmmmmichael]

@Xxnicoroxxx that is such an insult to death cab

[blenderornot]

im sorry you think this, because this mixtape is genius

[enroserie]

@Xxnicoroxxx ouch

[TyMan1229]

@Xxnicoroxxx Fuck no.

[ferrisb0y]

this sounds realy nicee it gave me chills! It goes perfectly and just sounds great! I normaly hate rap but i think that Jay-Z is the exeption and is actuly talented! I wish this was an actual album cause these two would sound great if they actuly worked at it

[Dmajorproductions]

@matt1337c thats what im saying, i would buy this song if Jay Z would collab with DCFC and came up with this.

[Dmajorproductions]

wow it actually works. i wish the jay Z part was made for this song, i would listen

[Delpierolegend10]

@NakedCreep Why?



[ravenx945]

This is really bad.

[DelenRothwar]

Why? Seriously, why? This makes about as much sense as combining peanut butter and mustard. I like peanut butter, and I recognize mustard's right to exist as long as it doesn't intrude on my life. They simply should not be mixed. Ever. Ev. Er.

[heth6]

I hate Jay-z... But i just like the whole background piano and the beat of bass and the lyrics i guess... its weird

[OmniEulogy]

doesnt link up really... leave these things to the actual artists.. go listen to LP and Jay-Z if you want these things to become a reality.. lol

[ShipWreckOnShore]

Jay z mixed with real music? nnnnnnnnoooooooooooooo

[rayblaze94]

This shit dope Yea BUDDY XD

[LITEanime]

Am I the only one who likes this?

[MashkaTekoa]

doesnt sound like it goes well together, and bad sound quality. i think it could work tho

[indiebird12]

omg lets stop with these mash ups.

[NatZor77]

OH GOD NO WHAT DID YOU DO JAY-Z WHYYYY

[wadeccockrill]

I didn't think I'd like this, but it actually works pretty well.......... Hahaha! Who would have thought.

[sophiensophien]

first rap ruins society, and now THIS! what the hell??

[sonicqaz]

Um, this is amazing. DCFC is my favorite band, too. I'm not going to sit here and pretend the Jay-Z portion ruins the song, because it flows very nicely with the rest of it. Stop being haters and appreciate something different.

[TopHat]

@sonicqaz "Um, this is amazing. DCFC is my favorite band, too. I'm not going to sit here and pretend the Jay-Z portion ruins the song, because it flows very nicely with the rest of it. Stop being haters and appreciate something different"

so true. quoted for fucking truth!

[TyMan1229]

@sonicqaz Yeah i couldn't agree more. Dcfc is my favorite band but i don't mind that someone did some creative mixing with their songs. I think its cool and different. For god's sake, death cab is an indie rock band, they're all about being different. Appreciate the cool mixing peeps!

[SheXDiesXToday]

@sonicqaz You obviously dont know anything about music. I agree, people should stop wasting their time complaining.. but I have to say, your comment was inaccurate. This does not go nicely. In fact, it's not even in the same key. It sounds horrible.

[Godyss]

Jay-z's part is a tad too fast. Other wise, it's not that bad. I'm not a rap fan in any sense of the word, but this is catchy. At least it's not about B*tches in the Club, or that crap.

[foofight4]

God this sucks

[jamesmlinehan]

Not bad.

[stevenluna11]

he ruined it

[kelliforniacation]

I don't see why everyone hates this so much, I think it's fine

[ragecagests9]

sucks

[Ski4lif37]

wats jay-z song called he's singing??

[sandie247]

I wouldn't mind watching 2 and a half minutes of this live on stage......

[huehnerhabicht69]

the deathcab for cuties song is great, but this mix is horrendous

[samiluvsconchords]

Don't like it.

[YaOiFr3aK]

its not that bad

[FORrealSKATEBOARDS]

whats even the message in death cabs version. what are they tryin to say

[XxNverAgainxX]

@FORrealSKATEBOARDS i kinda think its about how people...tend to waste time on things that dont matter, and while they're distracted life comes up and changes them...and by the time they notice its too late  annnnddd thats what i think =)

[qtvideoh]

i really dont like jay-z

ruined the song

[brittany5081]

yeah i'm not a fan of this, ick!

[dml5583]

Fucking great

[kssoukup]

this is really bad

[SuperLawlCANO]

not the greatest, but im not opposed to mixing different genres together, usually the result is brilliant.

if you aren't pleased with this mix, then perhaps you should listen to the sweet sounds of the original. It seems odd to put your ears victim to music you don't find appealing.

[fazelife]

this actually sounds pretty good but the messages are mixed.

[jaysern7]

deathcab makes jay z sound pretty cool, listenable...interesting mix

[pritstik303]

otherway round i think.. haha

[CalebTheGuitarist]

OUCH MY EARS!!!!!!

[sshakkdd]

actully like it. nice mix, if you like both types of music it works. and well.

[birdman3631]

grosss

[MO0OSIK]

WTF HELL NO

[MissMoosers]

No.. No.. I hate it when people remix songs and only keep the beat of the original, and just.. DESTROY the rest of it with their own lyrics.. This is awful..

[QueenOfAmber]

Same. It's really tacky. :P He's ruined this song!

[the54thursday]

eew

[Gallows911]

This is sick, I love apple steaks

[alifewithoutsolace]

it's not awful awful, just unusual. i'd rather not listen to it ever again though, it kills the sentimental value death cab for cutie has.

[innocencenonus]

Not gonna lie... this is kinda weird. But I LIKE IT. I can roll wit it. good job.

guess i love apple steaks too. : )

[ninjaintraining101]

jay-z and deathcab don't work. it's like drinking orange juice after brushing your teeth. nasty.

[HAVOKANTIX]

Well I love Apple Steaks son!

[bloxtonia]

i dig both Death Cab and Jay but they dont go together...like steak and apple jacks...

[DeathCabForJoey]

i love death cab not a big jay z fan

but this does work dead well

death cab seem to be able to make anything sound sincere =]

[breathlessdrummer93]

no no no!!!!! D=

[happyhappy85]

awesome.... simply.
