If The Black Album was the birth of the full album remix, than American Gangster was certainly the death of it. It’s not that there were so many bad remixes (though there were some), but that there were so many! HipHopDX actually had a contest for the best AG remix album (congrats to Remot). But, I can actually thank the American Gangster remixes for the successful start of this site. It was back then (starting in December 2007), that this site was slowly getting its start. We covered every single remix album that we could find… or I should say “I” as it was just me back then. Before the AG remixes we had maybe 100 people visit the site daily. Within a few months of posting AG remixes, we shot to around 3,000 daily. Now, we have close to 20,000 people visiting the site daily… but who’s counting. To this day, I still get people sending me their American Gangster remix albums… really!
Anyway, some of these remixes were so good that I put together two volumes of my favorite remixes. You can grab those after the cut, as well as go back in our archives and reminisce on some of the good and bad ones. If you have a fav or did one that we never posted, feel free to leave a link in the comments.
