Wassup everybody, check out this remix contest I got goin' on at Drop Magazine (http://www.dropmagazine.com/hieroglyphics-stop-the-press-remix-contest/). Let's see what y'all got:

THE PRIZE
The winner will receive a backstage pass for his/her self and a friend to any show on the Hieroglyphics’ upcoming tour (see dates below). You will get a chance to hang out with the crew, mingle and have the most intimate concert experience possible. The second place winner will receive a Hiero logo t-shirt and an autographed copy of Opio’s upcoming album, Vulture’s Wisdom, Volume One.

THE CONTEST
We are calling all producers signed or unsigned, known or unknown - your name doesn’t matter as long as you have talent - to step up and remix Opio’s “Stop the Press”, the first single off his upcoming solo album, Vulture’s Wisdom, Volume One. Your remix must be an original beat, and must be your work. This is not a mash-up contest. From all submitted remixes, we will choose 5 finalists. The finalists will then go up for a pubic vote, with the winners being chosen by the people.

I have to disagree with you darkspeed, infact, your remix doesn't even fit with opio. Sounds like you tryed to mash up some random beat with opio, and did it badly. The final remixes aren't that bad. The best remix there is Adamatic's.

Bob the orange, I'll have to re-disagree with you. Not only does that beat fit quite nicely with Opio's shit, It's what is referred to as an"Oakland Ghost-note" style of drumbeat...Tailor made for an Oakland resident...Fuck a mash-up (whatever the hell that is). I know when the snare doesn't fall on the 2 and the 4 it confuses the youngsters......What the hell do you know anyway Bob , you like effing "Rapper's Delight"!!!!! Now that's some reeeeaalll bullshit!!!!

P.S. No hard feelings man, you can't be all that bad, being down with this Hiero shit and all....

Lol, theirs no hard feelings, I relisten to your remix and I'm still not diggin it, but maybe it just not my style.

P.S. Whats wrong with Rapper Delight? It hella better than alot of this new shit on the radio. And did you check out my other song that I listed as beautiful? Check it out Mr. Voodoo - Hemlock (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypMuEfyPljE).

@cas1
Its pretty good. Well Done.
