50 CENT RUINS QUEEN SONGS!!

These tracks are so incredibly well done it blows my mind. Jimmy, you've got an amazing talent for mixing. As someone who dabbles in digital audio editing (which I'm good at) and tries to mix without success (I suck) I KNOW how difficult and time-consuming this stuff can be.

Thank you for sharing your work!


"This Is How We Bite The Dust" is my favorite and is mountains better than Wyclef Jean's attempt to use the track.[/QUOTE]

As much as I am not a big fan of rap, I have to agree that 50 Cent did a much better job than Wyclef Jean's version of Bite the Dust.

First of all, I can't take anyone seriously, who can't spell becAUse. Secondly, to say 50 cent didn't do this intentionally is ridiculous. Of course, he did it intentionally. He intentionally, remixed Queen. He did not intend it to blow as hard as it does, I'm sure. I think this is just another prime example of how little original talent is around today. Every time you turn around someone is remixing from the Seventies or Eighties (and even Nineties). Is it possible, original melodies have become extinct?

50 Cent didn't have anything to do with this. It was remixed by a 3rd party and distributed free of charge. Just like our 'fan mixes' section here.

I'm still hoping for the promised instrumental versions...

I'm with you. It would sure be nice to hear the instrumental versions and be able to play around with them. But I have a feeling either a lawyer from Queen Productions got to him or he's moved on to better things.

how this topic was pulled from the ruins , makes me wonder why ... either way i cant really argue , everyones made very valid points , also some very rediculous points .. this is life ...

I'm trying to rate music objectively, 'cause - when you a fan of such band as Queen - it means, that you have a certain taste in music. We must admit, that rap has his "drive", but lost of rap (music, style of rapping, themes of the lyrics) are rather the same (unvaried) and could be boring and fast-tired. I'm not rap fan, but, In my opinion, there are some good rap tunes, which could be described as original "high class" songs, just pure classics, so I have my own-made compilation of all time rap at home too.
Considering this Q-Unit project, Greatest hits album, I could say it is wise, professionally done. Mixes done very accurate, sound very organic and solid. I see this album as a good tribute to Queen, some kind of respect shown for Queen in rap world.
Of couse, some can hate rap at all, so it's natural that they wont like this album and even that guy who mixed the songs, but opinion of these rap-hates can't effect the real (high) quality of the whole work.
Masterpiecies of the album: This is how we bite the dust; Just it all; Candy bottom girls; 21 Flash questions; We will rock you in da club.
Overall rating - 9/10

But I don't remember what it was.

Hooray for Fiddy-sent.

I read somewhere that rap fans were most likely to prefer champagne as a "recreational beverage". Isn't that wonderful ?[/QUOTE]

I bet that's either

I hate 50 cent!

He has no place to be covering Queen songs, he's only in like his mid 20's, a few years older than me. Not much, probably doesn't even know who they are!

THE CD IS FAN MADE!
