Never short of ideas (hardly surprising given there’re twenty-six of them!), the latest set of 45 edits from the Waxnerds collective consists of Shoesy’s Half Man Half Amazing backed with Sam Tweaks’ As Long As I’ve Got Wu. It ain’t hard to tell (thank you, I’m here all week!) who Shoesy has picked as a vocal source, nor are there any prizes for identifying a certain other massive collective from Staten Island as the vocal source on the latter. You will however, particularly appreciate the way Shoesy has crafted a classy gospel-laced beat for Nas and the way Mr Tweaks extends the Charmels sample RZA used for C.R.E.A.M. to include the track’s chorus.
