Single: J.Period & De La Soul - Excursions (Remix)

This be that real shit people! This be that De La Soul remix of "Excursions", the Second official joint from J.Period's extremely anticipated (at least by me anyway) mixtape ode to Q-Tip, titled "The [Abstract] Best". If you've peeped out any of J.period's other mixes for artists than you already know this tape will be timeless, nuff said. Containing classic joints, production, new remixes, interviews and exclusive tracks from an all-star lineup of Hip-Hop notables as well as Q-Tip himself, heads need to get ready. Ever since Period dropped "Q-Tip For President", (the first joint off of "The [Abstract] Truth") I've been waitin' patiently for the project to drop and visiting his site like a madman for any updates. Well, Today i finally saw such an update and now it would appear we're less than a week away.....according to his site jperiod.com, "The [Abstract] Best" will be available for a limited time for free download on the 10th of February and will be the first of 2 volumes of music. *rubs hands together in devilish delight*

The remix provided here by De La Soul for their fellow Native Tongues member is memorable in many ways....First, the remix is done the right way from the jump, as we find De la spittin' their trademark flows over the ever so dope original "Excursions" beat, dug up from Tribe's classic "Low End Theory" album. Second, the few new soundbites added here and there are perfect and J.Period doesn't take anything away from the actual song. Last, but certainly not least, the stellar performance that is turned in by Plug One and Plug Two (Posdnuos and Dave respectively) is the kicker....they're still sharp as ever man and they really got up for this. All in all, a great, great remix and something that I definitely gotta hear on cassette coming outta the old tape deck. That's my project for the night, if your a new jack, make downloading this joint and throwing it on your shitty iPod yours I guess. Can't wait for the whole tape, thank you J.Period!
