Throwbacks | Throwback Thursdays – Big Sean, Bassnectar, Mike Posner, Laidback Luke

Posted by on August 18, 2011

For this week’s Throwback Thursday we have a few timeless jams that should definitely set your weekend in the right direction. The first is off Big Sean’s mixtape Finally Famous Vol. 3 featuring Chiddy Bang. Sean absolutely murders his first two verses in this track about coping with the downsides of fame.

THROWBACK HIP-HOP: Big Sean ft. Chiddy Bang – Too Fake

Here’s a track from a close counterpart of Big Sean’s who rose to stardom thanks to music blogs. With a sample from E.L.O.’s Evil Woman, Posner couldn’t go wrong with this one. I think I speak for a majority of people when I say that I wish Mike still made songs like this.

THROWBACK POP: Mike Posner – Evil Woman

It’s HARD dub tracks like these that make everyone wish they had long hair to headbang with.

THROWBACK DUBSTEP: Bassnectar – Wildstyle Method (Radio Edit)

 

THROWBACK ELECTRO: Laidback Luke ft. Kid Sister – Do! Do! Do!

Matty Trump kills every one of Sams beats (wait till you hear their collabo on I Need A Dollar) so it didn’t surprise me that his rendition of Alejandro turned out to be an absolute banger. Rumor has it Matty’s going to be working on releasing at least one techno remix a month.

Unfortunately Jay-Z refuses to let his prodigy J. Cole perform for anything under $12.5k which, for an up and coming artist, is a bit pricey. This probably explains why no one books him and why he hasn’t emerged as a powerhouse. Our affiliated artists placed a nice spin on this dope cole song, check it out.

Dj Dorino tipped me off to this Evil Woman remix on our flight to Cancun last year and I immediately fell in love with it. Little did I know, Posner would rise to fame in the coming months. Interestingly enough, DJ Dorino also gave Sam Adams the idea to remix broken glass around that same time, I really hope he hasn’t lost his special touch. Be on the lookout for Dj Dorino playlist in the near future.
