This Is Hip Hop Remix Contest: Week 6

Can you all believe we’re half way through the contest already? Week 6. There have been a lot of great remixes coming week after week and I’m happy to see a few new people stopping by to show us your stuff. I’m also happy to see the regulars who have been kickin’ it each week. Before I get into this week’s track, let’s recap the details of the contest.So here’s the deal… for the next 12 weeks, we’re gonna hold a weekly contest… 12 weeks/12 mixes. The way it’ll work is every Saturday night I will provide the song to be remixed for the week. There will be 2 links… the acapella and the song in it’s original version (for reference). You will have one week to complete your remix. Entries will be taken until 11:59pm EST the following Saturday. Then on Sunday morning we’ll have a new poll on the blog for people to vote for their favorite mix. Voting will take place for one week while the next mix is underway. At the end of the 12 weeks, I’ll put together a compilation album of all the winners for each week with a kick ass cover designed by Krome. Sound cool? I know some people are gonna be like, “what’s the prize?”. The prize is inclusion on the compilation album and exposure on this site. I got nothing else to offer. Actually I do have something to offer this week. Chris from BarrysTickets.com was kind enough to donate some gift certificates to give away to you guys. So the winner for Week 6 will win a $25 gift cerficate which can be used towards tickets purchased through BarrysTickets.com. They have all your tickets from sporting events to concerts.

To submit your entry: Upload your remix in mp3 format to one of your favorite file sharing locations (ie, Rapidshare, MediaFire, MegaUpload, ZShare, etc) and leave a comment in this post with your name and your link. Some readers have requested the contestants use ZShare. So if you can, upload to ZShare. DO NOT email me any links… they will be ignored. This process is to make it easier for me so I don’t have to post everyone’s links. The production is open ended (for now), meaning there are no stipulations. Original productions are highly encouraged, but blends will be accepted as well.

Still haven’t gotten the full acapella to that Mobb Deep track, so we’re moving on! This week’s track comes from New York’s own Beastie Boys. Let’s see what you guys can do with “Sure Shot” off of 1994’s Ill Communication. Produced by the Beastie Boys, the original track is wild! Below are the tracks to download and good luck!

The cut-off to submit your remix is Saturday, March 8, 2008 @ 11:59pm EST.

• Sure Shot (Acapella)
• Sure Shot (Album Version)
