The rapper even ran with it for a minute. When Gucci Mane came home from prison in 2016 looking like body goals instead of his pudgier former self, the clone claims ran rampant on the Internet.
Actual talk of rappers being replaced by genetically identical replicas, or at least permanent stand-ins, is a newer rabbit hole. The Neptunes added another layer with their 2003 album, The Neptunes Presents…Clones, but that was still somewhat of a futuristic nod. In hip-hop, the term “clone” has been thrown around metaphorically for years, with rappers using the word as a blanket diss for a biting MC. If you let the people rocking tin-foil fitteds speak their truth, you’ll find out that there is some Illuminati-Orwellian- Us ish going on and some rappers are involved. That’s what the mainstream media tells us. And though laws against it were later instituted by some nations, others have continued press on with the promise of possibly recreating a whole damn person one day, to no avail. Scottish scientists successfully cloned the first mammal, a sheep named Dolly, three decades later in 1996. Snoop – Signs f.Though it sounds like a millennial trope, the actual prospect of cloning people dates back to the 1960s. Heavy Warmup Vol 4: DJ Sure Shot tracklisting:
would say, “N-E-P-T-U-N-E-S – the way they lace the beats like one of the best!”īonus download: Jay-Z – I Just Wanna Love U (Instrumental) (320 kbps)
And in a delightfully recursive moment of self-reflexivity, Pharrell apes Usher’s opening lines from U Don’t Have To Call on Jay-Z’s Fuck All Nite. Philly gets represented by both Beanie Sigel and the city’s most wanted, while of course JT has to feature, Last Night fitting in ahead of all the other admittedly stellar tracks he did with Pharrell and Chad. So I’ve asked a bunch of my favorite DJs to record a heavy warmup mix and I’ll be posting a new one every couple of weeks.” Eschewing the super big tracks like Shake Ya Ass or Beautiful or Like I Love You, Sure Shot digs deep and reminds you of how these guys worked with everyone, like the late great Guru, on his Jazzmatazz Street Soul album, to Ray J, when he wasn’t making home movies with Kim Kardashian, and, like, Madonna… They hit the pop charts themselves with Frontin’ – although that Clones album had as many dodgy tracks as good ones – and yes, in case you forgot, that is Pharrell screaming S-W-V on that Human Nature-sampling remix of Right Here.
NEPTUNES CLONES DOWNLOAD SERIES
So what better time for this Neptunes-only mix to surface from DJ Sure Shot.ĭJ Ayres has got this new mix series going called Heavy Warmup, and the MO is as follows: “I love this DJ slot, it’s the time of the night when people are getting their second drink, the dancefloor is just starting to fill up, and the DJ can tease the crowd with great forgotten jams and new secret weapons. It’s clear to me that they’re still very much in our consciousness. Then last night I noticed the latest AOAO guest mix from Remé, which kicks off with an instrumental of Gwen Stefani’s Hollaback Girl. As it happens I even played Clipse’s When The Last Time just before Ursher. While preparing for a hip-hop set on Thursday night I read Immy’s post about Riffs and it put in mind Usher’s 2002 single U Don’t Have To Call, though I opted for the Ludacris-featuring remix on the night (“We puttin’ up As like Summa Cum Laude”). Duff N*E*R*D albums and dodgy Daft Punk collaborations aside, their influence on today’s music is unmistakable.
