Whoah. This is pretty much the coolest project of the year so far. Adrian Champion takes 12 White Stripes tracks and chops them up into classic hip hop remixes. You can knock hip hop production for being a derivative art form, or you can recognize that there is an art to sampling and it imparts new life into things we thought we knew.
The Bombs Over Orchids track isn't a great lead off, because the beat doesn't do justice to Big Boi and 3Stacks delivery. But the MOP track "Ante Up" is pitch perfect. as is most of the rest of the album.
