Santogold feat MIA - Get it Up (prince klassen young professional edit)I was about to go to bed and I realized that I had not finished what I set out to do today. I got my computer out and made a new edit for all the homies out there.
As you know Santogold aka Ms Santi White if you are nasty is one of my favorite artists of the last few years and I try to keep her in my playlists as much as possible. She just dropped her brand spanking new mixtape off at
TTL recently and so far from what I hear it sounds pretty nice. I think she and I share a common interest in what New York used to be, a time where punk kids would hang with the then new hip hop kids and you would see a 60 year old art collector hanging with a rastafari dread brother and have no second thoughts about it.
She has unfortunately been thrown the old pitchfork style (compare to something anyone can grasp to) reviews left and right, saying that she is either the new MIA or she is blatantly ripping her off. I am not sure what the people are reading or hearing (other than their pretentious snobbery), but I would have to say that Santi's album sounds nothing like MIA. I can understand sonic references and the fact that they both roll with the same posse and are females, but I think the comparisons can stop there.
Either way, here is indeed a track with both MIA and Santogold on it from Santi's hot off the press mix. I took the liberty to take out the Gorilla Zoe acapella mostly because it didnt make any sense to me. Enjoy
