This mashup is evidence of Biggie’s influence on contemporary artists. It is also proof of hip hop’s flexibility. By taking popular Biggie joints, Team Demo reproduces Biggie’s sound with their own steeze. In fact the Biggie remix is not just a Biggie dedication, but a dedication to the Hip Hop movement. Reimagining older records to create a new sound is the essence of hip hop culture. Additionally the remix features sampling from influential figures in hip hop culture. For example quotes from Slick Rick, Snoop Dogg, and NWA. Soundbite are an essential part of hip-hop music.
The production of the mashup was diverse and drew sampling from genres such as funk, blues, jazz, disco and soul. Although the sampling spurred from multiple different genres, the production was only sampled from one artist, Isaac Hayes. Furthermore, the remix featured considerable sampling of Laurence Fishburne soundbites. Team Demo’s idea to only sample Issac Hayes tracks is proof of their ingenuity.
