Drake – Forever (Travis Barker Remix) f. Kanye West, Lil Wayne & Eminem [Video x CDQ]

And another track gets the Travis Barker treatment. (2)dope! And now with CDQ download, via RR.

Working strictly off an a cappella track, Barker crafted his “Forever” mix from the ground up, spending a week tinkering in the studio with his production partner, Sweatshop. The main goal, he said, was to build a drum line that matched the constantly shifting mood and tempo of the song, which famously features verses from Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Eminem, even if that meant showing a bit of restraint on the remix — something he’s not used to doing.

“Remixes are hard, because some of my critics will be like, ‘Trav, you shoulda gone bananas on it,’ but going bananas on it will sometimes take away from how cool a song is — it’s a happy medium,” he laughed. “With this one, I see a gradual crescendo — it just gets bigger and bigger and bigger, all the way up until the last chorus, where I crash out and there’s a big Phil Collins moment, with a drum-fill solo underneath Drake’s chorus. It was a tough one, man.”

So is Drake happy with the end result? Barker has no idea — seems Drizzy hasn’t even heard the remix yet. No one has. Until now, that is.

“No one’s heard this!” Barker said. “Actually, Marshall [Mathers, a.k.a. Eminem] heard it, and he loved it — but no one else has.”

  20. there are very few ppl that could make that song better
    travis is the shit.

  21. pure talent. shit is so thoed.

  22. he shitted on that the boring ass original instrumental.

  23. Dope the overall song is wack tho travis makes it bearable

  24. I swear he kills every Remix he does dude is just sick

  25. Lupe Fiasco > Eminem > Travis Barker > Kanye > Drake >>>>> Wayne

  26. Sheesh..I HAVE to check out all those other remixes now.

  27. UNreal.

  28. YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

    he murders this shit. remember when he was on blink 182 and we woulda made fun of any one who listened to them. now we got his track replacing the original version of one of the biggest tracks of the year

    who said its bad when hip hop and the mainstream collides?

  29. this is way better than the original the original beat is mad boring this one is dope drake and lil wayne lyrics still suck thou

  30. Dude goes straight unconscious at the end of Wayne and Em’s verses

  31. He just destroyed this. Fucking sick.

  32. lol, really? he’s not that talented; seems like the only reason people revere him is because of his hip-hop sensibilities. if you want talent, go listen to Neil Peart.

  33. [...] the 2dope writeup for more info. Leave a [...]

  34. i want a cdq version

  35. does his ability to produce what he did not make him talented?

  36. is there CDQ versions of any of his other remixes?

  37. ill, thanks for the mp3s. how do you rip audio from youtube files anyway?

  39. Props on the CDQ. His Jockin Jay-Z mix was dope as fuck.

  40. wow this is very nice (clapping hands) I like I like!!!!

  41. To think, all the shit he’s gone through in the past year, losing 2 of his best friends, and he could still go vicious on this track? Amazing.

  42. thank god he’s back with blink 182. him and mark in plus 44 was good, but blink just feels so much right.

    the real question is how long until we can get the travis vs ?uestlove drum-off?

  43. Yea I wanna hear ?uestLove to do a remix to this now

  44. http://www.myspace.com/officialjavonjacobs

  45. He did a excellent job for the Drake and Eminem part

  46. This is really good, but the original instrumental is great too. It got a little old after 6 minutes, but I still liked it.

  47. travis goes in on these shits…..

  48. man, i thought this would be the only thing on 2dope that nobody could hate on, i mean i cant stand lil wayne, thought the original was boring, and this still blew my mind. but there’s always gotta be at least one hater right stevie rey? neil peart is one of the best drummers ever, but this is a hip-hop blog homey

  49. DOPE AS FUCK! What else do you expect from a Travis Barker remix?

  50. before i listen. the idea of matching his tempo with the shifting tempo of the song, i bet it gets nuts on eminems part…

    and i also want to say congrats to travis barker for turning playing with pencils on the lunch room table itno something so dope. and for being so fucking good at it. this dude is talented.

  51. Travis a BEAST. KILLED this SH!T

  52. He’s doing all these remixes which are fucking dope as fuck, BUT, where the FUCK is the new Blink 182 album?!

  53. crazy sick!!!!!!

  54. @ BrooklynsOwn: REALLY? You’re looking out for new blink 182 music? wtf is wrong with you?

  55. [...] Via: 2dopeboyz.com [...]

  56. i must be the only one who thought this sucked. so sick of this song i dont think anything could make me want to listen to it ever again, unless premier did a remix or something.

  57. i jus wish he woulda up’d the tempo on em’s vere

  58. @ Honest – What’s the problem with me looking out for new Blink 182 albums? Do you have an issue with the group, or with rock in general?

  59. Do Not F*ck with Travis.

  60. [...] heads up via 2dopeboyz [...]

  61. im defintely with brooklynsOwn.

    if you never got into blink,a&a or +44, fine. but he’s always much better when he is with mark and tom from blink. feels just right

  62. sorry, i dont listen to emo pop rock for 14 yr old girls

  63. o.m.f.g. travis just blacked the fuck out on this shit.

    i swear to god that this dude absolutely KILLS every remix that hes ever done.

    and this is coming from a 23yo whos played the drums for 10yrs or so on and off.

    if i could EVER in my lifetime be 1/100th the drummer that travis is i could die happy. this dudes work ethic is unfucking believable. top 5 drummers in music right now period.

    and shake/meka if you guys happen to read this:: as a die hard travis barker/blink fan if there is ANNYY way possible that you guys could get your hands on a compilation of all the remixes that hes done and upload them into a single .zip file or something… i KNOWW i wouldnt be the only person appreciative to that…please please pleasssseee!!! lol

    travis is unfuckwitable ftw haha
