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.”

Mark Ronson let loose of this little joint (that won’t be on Attention Deficit) on East Village Radio.

The joint we did got Travis Barker on the drums. Wale got that done while he was is in L.A. The beat was done, then Travis played over it, then we played on top of what Travis did. -LV

I was going to add this rip when Meka posted the video but I wanted to wait until a CDQ was released. But then I started thinking. Have any of Barker’s remixes come out “officially”? I can’t remember. So whatever… here’s a webrip of the remix for ya’ll to enjoy or ignore. Your choice.

Slow day at the dopehouse…
Here’s a new video from Pow Wow off his latest album, Fast Life.

Ol’ boy goes in.

The first time these two linked up for a mixtape, the outcome was (2)dope! With part 2, Travis Barker and DJ-AM take a very creative route in releasing their mixtape. Charging folks one tweet for a download link. Using a custom engine (built by Culture Jam Labs), they are giving away their new mixtape as a free download once a dopeboy has tweeted a certain message. That message and more info can be found at twitter.trvsdjam.com. This might sound like a trivial thing to some, but you’ve really got to respect the genius behind it. They are really tapping into the power of Twitter and it’s marketing potential. However, I do realize there are folks out there that don’t fuck with Twitter, so I’ve included a download link. No tracklist like last time, just a very dope mix of music…

I’m telling you, there needs to be a mixtape, compilation or whatever for Travis’ renditions of these songs. His Soulja Boy rendition > Soulja Boy’s version. UPDATE: Brought it up to the top because I was just given the MP3 version for everyone to enjoy, courtesy of Cory.
