Wonderback – Jay Z vs Oasis
The awful media attack on Noel and his views on Jay Z being at Glasto, has actually created something good. Not just good, something pretty damn brilliant. Wonderback, basically has the Wonderwall chorus and the piano parts mixed with Jay Z’s rap backlash on Noel’s “scandal.” The lyrics are pretty good, but the way it is arranged (a nod to the triplet of producers, Cookin Soul) is really cool. Just after the breakdown; “Somebody shoulda told him I’m a fuckin’ rock star.” And instead of starting, it ends with a screaming crowd and Jay Z shouting “I just got one thing to say!” Pretty basic musically (but what do you expect?), but the main beat is definitely on the good side and Wonderwall still holds up as a good track. One of the best remixes I’ve heard in a while.
The blog should be up and going very soon. I’m working on getting this all on wordpress, because of the music features and all. It’s really frustratingly slow, so bear with me, and hopefully everything will work in the next couple of days.
