Max Tannone Presents Mos Dub (Mixtape)

I’m not usually the biggest fan of mashups, mainly because the many mashes I’ve heard felt and sounded so contrived; a capellas not matching rhythmically, garbage choice of beats among other atrocities. However, I spotted this one over at Frolab which quickly drew my attention, gave it a listen and was pretty blown away. Max Tannone, the architect behind the Jay-Z x Radiohead (Jaydiohead) project blends Dante’s vocals with some classic dub / roots reggae songs, making for a head-nod inducing mix. Can’t be mad at Hip-Hop fraternizing with reggae, especially when done right. Download link, stream, plus samples used below.

  4. This indeed is nasty, but dub is not reggae. It’s totally different.

  5. Uh… I’m not sure those things are really totally different. About as different as hip hop instrumentals vs vocal tracks most of the time.

  12. “dub is a form of reggae. essentially, dub take away the vocal tracks or part of the vocal tracks, often extends the groove longer and mixes the bass up higher. there is often a soloist of some kind also, either the producer freestyles also called toasting or a soloist plays.

    it is like the reggae version of a DJ remix before there was such a thing.”

  21. The Scientist sample on “Ms. Vampire Booty” is called “Dance of the Vampires”, not “The Mummy’s Shroud”. From the album “Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires” (1981).
