Pair of Franks
I know i'm mad late on this disc, but the merging of Frank Sinatra and Frank White is sublime. The remix project from DJ Cappel & Smitty dropped last summer and got some play from some major media outlets. I never heard the disc until now and am forcing myself to view Three 6 Mafia's Oscar performance on YouTube as punishment.While The Grey Album was undoubtedly more complex and heavily textured than Blue Eyes Meets Bed-Sty, its Premier-ish chopping of the Sinatra tunes like "For Every Man There's A Woman" is white hot. Download that cut at The Rub DJs site here.
Cappel & Smitty actually improve on the original Biggie cuts (take note Mr. Diddy)--including "Come On" (culled from Sinatra's "My Way Of Life") where the horns support Biggie's baritone like butter.
Lovin' it & missing Biggie more than ever.
