Damn that's a nice medley considering all the different songs they covered. Hearing hip-hop songs performed with live instrumentation is the best. With that said...

JIMEK's orchestrated definition of hip-hop

5. Barry White - Basketball Jones /feat. Chris Rock

24. Beyoncé - Crazy In Love

26. Sisqo - Thong Song

29. Baauer - Harlem Shake

These ain't hip-hop though.

Thats not my quote, I just copy and pasted it from their Youtube account, but yeah I thought the same... Still it was fckn crazy, like you say its great hearing hip hop through a live instrument band...

inb4 somebody cries about the obvious east coast bias.

I expected it to be shit when I saw the title, actually quite impressed. I wonder how it came about for them to do those songs? I mean I've never been in an orchestra but that seems out of line to what I'd expect them to play.

I don't know what they was doin with girls, girls, girls, but it sounds like it need to be the intro track for jay's next album.

As a fan of hip-hop and classical music this is worlds colliding. I could listen to shit like this ALL DAY. GOAT to the OP

Its a clever way to entice hip hopers into giving classical music a listen lol I would love to see this live, if they did a tour of this I would go for sure...

Cats need to explore musical boundaries outside of rap/hip hop. This shit is dope, reminds me when MTV did UnPlugged back in the day. LL Cool J and De La Soul ripped it

 

[StoneColdMikey]

This was awesome

 

[Stomp Johnson]

Them Dre beats sounded excellent nigga.

Flashing Lights was a highlight too.

 

[BarryHalls]

They could of went a couple more bars when "Still Dre" dropped. Shit was GOAT.

They should orchestrate the whole Chronic 2001 album. I'd cop that on CD.

Yeah soon as I head I was buzzing, but like you say it didnt last long... It would be dope as fck if they did the whole album, I think 2001 could be transformed into this classical instrumental pretty well style too..

No Nas?

16. Nas - Nas is Like

 

[Screwtape]
