Yeah, I get it. It's an instrumental. Doesn't mean it's bboys in the cut. Shit, you let others on the board sit here and believe that other mix you had was the real track for a week. Now you took that one down and have this mix on youtube like it's the real shit. Are the beastie boys paying you for all of your production?(n)

Hello, that isn't a remix, it's the real B Boys In The Cut song!
So, if you like another remix better tell Ad-Rock.

Huh............

Listen Scrappy Doo, I agree that you are a fucking idiot, but I guess I just don't really understand what you are trying to say. But to be honest I really don't care.

As far as what I was saying I'll use a numbering system:

1. The More in Store remix is really cool and really good. I know it's just a remix.
2. The el bando link is official and the music is really cool, whether or not it's the actual BBoysITC track I don't know but it doesn't really sound very good if it is.
3. Mixing the two together is pretty cool because they match some but not all.......but it is not as cool as More in Store.
4. If they do go together then ok, I'm sure the final product will sound just fine.
5. What a clever idea; golden ticket the vocals and maillist the music; pure genius way ahead of the curve as they usually are.
6. Still though.......I just really dig the More in Store version, as unofficial and remixed as it is; probably one of the best I've ever heard as far as homemade remix's go.
7. Yep, still pretty much agree that you're a FUCKING IDIOT.

So your a cop right? or the president of the limp biscuit fan club?, because those are to only reasons you could be fuelled with so much anger and hate.

Maybe this album is the opposite of TT5B. Where everything was overly perfect with computerized timing with TT5B...this one's not. Ha.

Dear Durst Monkey-

Cheers, oh and fuck the police.

Anywho, I didn't really understand why you were telling me you liked More In Stone, better than Martijns mash of the BBITC pella with the untitled instrumental (hummm, the instrumental is untitled because it already has a title, duh).
Numbers
1. If you don't like Martjins tell him, or re-synch it better, yourself.
2. If you like More In Stone so much tell DeeJayZap, he made it.
3. You cared enough to reply to me with 7 points.
4. I'm a idiot. Oh and that pella and instrumental are what the beasties intend to go together.
5. I hate cops.
6. Limp Biscuit doesn't like Martijns mash-up either. But I do.
7. Thank god I'm finally done, now can we be friends, you FUCKING IDOIT:)

It seems like each verse is just slightly overlapping the second one, so I spaced them out:
b-boys in the cut.mp3 (http://tindeck.com/listen/eapw)

also, upon reading the other thread, a tempo adjustment was probably all that was needed. Considering one of the boys is scatting the bassline at the beginning of the a capella, I would highly doubt the tracks don't go together.

Nygel

06-06-2009, 02:58 AM

Even if you don't include the live shows, this is plain wrong.

not like this, this changes up like 3 times in the verses and twice during the chorus break thing, and the drums on verse 2 are a huge difference than the other drums. when they change up the beat they keep at a certain style, this one goes all around.

4. I'm a idiot. Oh and that pella and instrumental are what the beasties intend to go together.

"I'm a idiot" is classic. DUCY?

Also, forgive me for not trusting you about what pella goes with what instrumental. It probably has something to do with you never being able to match a beat to a pella despite you trying to do it for, what is it, years now? You honestly should go by the name of DJ Deaf cause I've wondered if you can even hear at times. Sorry if I'm "hatin'" but you rub me the wrong way with your shitty spelling, remixes, and overall douchebaggery.

That said, hearing Nygel remix it correctly has changed my opinion. Especially, as one poster pointed out, because it seems Mike is scatting the bassline at the beginning. Great work, Nygel. I'd say it's 50/50.

Instead of letting my strong dislike for DJ Deaf get in the way, I should have said, "That instrumental is bangin'." Cause it is.(y)

The beat changes and sounds effects are natural fits. I'd be extremely surprised if this was NOT the real beat.

So far I really dig these two tracks: very textured sound, mix of live beats with programmed beats, beat changes, less linear and previsible song structure. The true Beastie sound is back again, and I really hope they go a bit wilder and more experimental on this one, which looks like the case so far :D

I wasn't digging the accapela at all, but with the beat it all make sense. Oh yeah!

darius

06-06-2009, 12:11 PM

I'm definitely feeling this track, the beat goes perfect with the lyrics and there is a distinct beastie type flow with it. I as well didn't get the lucky email, maybe they are splitting things up and are planning on sending out a few other treats to a different select few lucky ones. Whatever the case is I'm just psyched that all this action is going on...

-Remastered albums
-Hidden vinyl
-Minty Fresh remixes
-New shows galore
-Upcoming new album
-Website makeovers
-Selective email

I feel that the BBoys are giving the fans a lot of needed (well deserved) excitement. Can't be mad at that at all, I just want more :D

PS, where you been Minty, hook us up with some more love...

Oh and my remixes aren't shitty because I'm deaf, it because I'm blind in one eye!

You rub me the wrong way with your instant anger. So someone types something you don’t agree with, your first response is to call them a Fucking Idiot?
Out of your 2,600 posts, 1/2 of them are insulting peeps, the next 1/4 is replying with more anger once they stick up for themselves and the remaining posts, once you have finally gotten out your anger, you sometimes actually have something to say that is on topic and beastie related.

Thanks Nygel.

After listening to your version of this I'm changing my tune. There is some way it could be the album version. First verse is great, I was really digging it. The 2nd verse still seems odd & off by just a little. 3rd verse/outro feels right.

This song is not as exciting as Lee Majors... & Zap's version was way more exciting. I hope this is an earlier instrumental of it.

I just threw the two tracks together in Audacity and they sync up pretty well. You gotta cut out the first tiny bit of the music instrumental for them to fit, but once you do that, it's pretty close. Who knows what will turn up on the record (wouldn't be surprised if there were a lot more to this track, maybe from MMM?), but for now, it sounds hot as shit. Can't wait for the record.

Serious question: If the tracks were really supposed to go together than why would the beats be off as you note above?

They're not THAT far off. Even the song structures of the two tracks are far too similar for them not to go together. Wouldn't it make sense for them to follow up the a capella version with an instrumental track to go with it?

Brother McDuff

06-06-2009, 03:54 PM

Serious question: If the tracks were really supposed to go together than why would the beats be off as you note above?

the lyrics were sourced from vinyl and vinyl tempo varies during playback. it's not a 100% solid time representation, like cassettes for instance.

seriously, though, this track sounds hella amateur. im willing to bet this is just a dumb little beat they or someone they know put together just for the fun of syncing the two up. in the least, if it is the real jam it must be missing alotta parts. this instrumental could be made in an hour. for reals.

if this is really the beat for this song then god help us. :(

Really? I think it's a much welcomed departure from the beat stylee on TT5B. It is pretty simple though. Either way, I'm gonna crack a smile when Bboys in the cut isn't even on the new album.

this is the type of beat I feel like a friend would show me. its not bad by any means, but it's just not even close to beastie album quality tracks.

the drums alone are just so stock sounding and boring. kind of a lifeless joint. it works as a remix though.

Yummsh!

06-06-2009, 04:17 PM

I'd be really surprised if this song turns up as-is on the new record. I'm sure they're just giving us a taste, and speaking personally, I dig it. I've wanted a return to CYH-style rhyming over their own instrumentals for a while now, and it looks like we're going to get just that on HSC. Those big empty breaks between verses could use a sample or some scratching in them, though. I'd love to hear MMM add a few layers to this song myself.

For those of you still not convinced that these two tracks go together, I'm not sure what to tell you. It's blatantly obvious that they do. If a total amateur like me can get them synced up and sounding pretty hype in about 20 minutes time, then it's pretty clear to me that they're a match. :p

I personally think this instrumental is a "rough draft" they threw out there for us to mix, have fun with, and argue about.

The track will probably be beefed up with MMM scratching and whatnot for the finished product...

I do believe this is the instrumental for B Boys In The Cut. I don't believe that this is the final cut. More will most likely shit will be added on, or scrapped.

My opinion only...

Exactly. Besides, if there are samples that go along with this song, as well, I could see why they wouldn't be able to release them as part of a free download. Besides, the Boys know a lot of us out here are DJs and remixers. I think it's cool they gave us something to play around with so far in advance.

pm0ney

06-06-2009, 04:36 PM

I love it, honestly. I think people haven't matched the instrumental with the acapella 100%, but I think it's dynamite regardless. Obviously it's going to sound better on the finished album, this is prob some rough-ish.

EDIT: Oh, and Mike D is dominant on this track.

RobMoney$

06-06-2009, 10:42 PM

I've got to agree.
and this was the same problem I had with TT5B.

I feel like it's a sick bassline, but the rest just feels like it's missing something IMO. It's another "Fisher-Price" beat.
This album's gonna be another TT5B.(n)

You, McDuff, are right. This shit is hell underwhelming as is. Particularly if there's been talk of a 'bizarre' direction to this record. The only thing bizarre about it is how much people are feeling it. Did nobody listen to the Jay Z D.O.A link mickill posted in 'other music'? That's what this song is up against in its present form.

I'm hoping there are parts missing, too. It's nice, but the last two albums were represented by arguably the strongest tracks first (Check it out, Off the Grid). If this is it, then ouch. I do have a feeeeeeeeling there will be more to it (like a sample and scratches)....

All I'm sayin is it's 2009 and D.O.A knocks far more than this beat (which in itself hopefully isn't a fully developed production either). I don't think the Boys come with something so amateur-ish without it either being a diversion or a scrapped idea.

Shit ain't The Wiggles.

That just popped a image into my head. Imagine if the guys did a tribute style video to the Wiggles for the first single from the new album. Wouldn't that be great... Hmm?

CJ, you're insane. Lee Majors is an anti-single. You can't even make out what their saying in the hook.

its better when they're corny lyrics are muffled and backed with an ill beat....that's one of the main reasons why TT5B failed....

the LM vid should have lee majors in the 6MDM red jumpsuit doing crazy fetes while the boys play in the background....it has so much potential...

I fucking love this instrumental. When the beat changes up at 56 seconds in - that sounds fucking gangster to me. Don't get me wrong, I love the Hello Nasty, To the 5 Boroughs stuff in bits and pieces, but it's so different and so much more electronic and less organic than something like 3 Minute Rule. They haven't recorded anything like this in a long time as far as I can tell; and it is stuff like this that got me hooked on the Beastie Boys to begin with.

I sort of agree that the timbre of some of the drums could be better, but none of the music is clear enough to get a good sense of what it would sound like in full effect. Listen to the crowd noises in what I assume is the chorus - that would be much crisper in a finished recording. I haven't heard a hip hop track recorded with this feel in a long time - somebody said Microphone Fiend, which is a good reference because this sounds like something of that era. Rolling bass line, drum samples and changes, atmospheric samples, experimentation: A fucking plus.

Personally, I would of dropped Triple Trouble before Ch-Check It Out.

My opinion only.

Yuck. Triple Trouble is their 2nd weakest single ever (after Hey Ladies). Trip Troub had absolutely no radio appeal.

Yeah. Ch Check It Out was a much better single than Triple Trouble. I think it was actually one of their highest chart appearances too, but don't quote me on that.

"Ch-Check It Out" did pretty good, but "Intergalactic" was their last Top 40 mainstream hit (peaking at #28).

What do you mean "failed"? The album debuted at #1!

Do you really think some scratches or a sample would change anything that drastically?
I don't.

Yes, Robert. One does.

The vocals aren't mixed in properly, so I can't hear the 'crowd' parts clearly. And the claps in those same crowd parts at the end might be accentuated by another layer of claps (claps and claps and claps I just love typing it) or somesuch, because that would make that sparse drum break come to life. And also, the hook may be a sample or whithertohitherto, which might liven it up a bit. Then some cuts. Who knows?

Inevitably, it could still wind up sounding better for just sounding like a finished song.

Triple Trouble is BY FAR my favorite track off 5 Boroughs. The rhyme flow is excellent, the beats are dope, the whole track is brilliant.

I like Triple Trouble, it's ok. I just never thought the Beasties would pull a Puff Daddy and redo a classic song with a new beat. That was a bit of a let down.

They sample, but not like that. Triple Trouble was Rappers Delight with a new beat and lyrics. I admit I was a bit harsh with the "Puff Daddy" comment, but he is the king of that shit and that is what I call that kind of music making. I guess everyone is entitled to a fun and easy track in their career and the Beasties pretty much do what they want, which is why I listen to them.

Anyway, I do have high hopes for the next album as I have with all of the past Beastie albums.

Learn your Hip-Hop knowledge.

So, I guess you have never heard Root Down?

It's basically them rapping over the Jimmy Smith's "Root Down (And Get It)".

Besides, "Triple Trouble" only samples the opening break from "Rapper's Delight"... Not the entire song like Puff Daddy does/did.

Triple Trouble is not "Rappers Delight with a new beat and lyrics." They didn't even use the (Chic) bassline, which is the most memorable thing about Rappers Delight (except the chicken that tasted like wood). They basically took the first three seconds of Rappers Delight...kind of ingenius actually.
