Yessss, it’s finally Friday. This week, we’ve got Chromeo, Kanye West, Fatboy Slim, Grizzly Bear, Dead Prez, MSTRKRFT, Phoenix and more. I’m definitely a huge fan of LMFAO’s remix of Kanye’s “Paranoid.” It’s about 700 times better than the original. Also, this week, I’ve included a mash-up that’s too good to have left out. It’s The Hood Internet’s “Two Weeks of Hip-hop,” which is a mash-up of Grizzly Bear and Dead Prez. Have an awesome Columbus Day weekend, and enjoy.

This Monday we’ve got a mixtape from The Hood Internet, one of the best in the mash-up genre. We’ve featured them on here a bunch of times in the past. Earlier this year, they did an hour long mix for one of Dialogue Inc.’s podcasts in which they introduced their new material. Take a listen to this clip and then download the entire album. Enjoy!

Just stumbled across this collection of sick remixes that was released the other day from Team Teamwork, thanks to my girl Courtney. It’s so good, that I couldn’t wait around for Mixtape Mondays — I had to post it now in time for the weekend. The Good-ass Remixes Vol. 1 is the second release by Team Teamwork. Their first was The Ocarina of Rhyme, which was a mash-up album featuring hip-hop and the soundtrack of the video game classic The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time.

On The Good-ass Remixes Vol. 1, Team Teamwork mixes and mashes T.I., Lil Wayne, Kanye, Nas, Talib Kweli, UGK, Slim Thug, Ghostface, Outkast, and others with the likes of Sigur Rós, Iron & Wine, Elliott Smith, M83, Múm and more. The result is wonderfully danceable and catchy. I’d consider Team Teamwork to be like The Hood Internet‘s hot sister. The group is relatively unknown at the moment, but I would not be surprised at all to see them playing at Coachella or Bonnaroo in a few years time.

Here’s the tracklist:

1. T.I. ft. Sigur Rós – Big Shit Poppin’
2. Lil Wayne & Birdman ft. Okkervil River – Stuntin’ Like My Daddy
3. Kanye West & Nas ft. Man Man – We Major
4. Talib Kweli & UGK ft. Jens Lekman – Country Cousins
5. Slim Thug ft. Iron & Wine – Heard of That
6. Killer Mike & Shawty Lo ft. Elliott Smith – Two Sides
7. Gucci Mane ft. Drug Rug – Pillz
8. Joell Ortiz ft. Steve Winwood – Hip Hop
9. Kanye West & Lil Wayne ft. M83 – Lollipop (The Remix of the Remix)
10. Ghostface Killah ft. Múm – Holla
11. Outkast & Killer Mike ft. DatA – The Whole World
12. [BONUS TRACK] Big Pun & Fat Joe ft. Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears – Twins

1. Viva La Hova by Mick Boogie & Terry Urban

Over the last few years, one aspect of hip-hop that has really taken center stage is the mixing of a cappella Jay-Z tracks with rock music. The trend started with Kev Brown’s Brown Album, and was quickly followed by DJ Danger Mouse’s The Grey Album and Linkin Park’s Collision Course. Viva La Hova by Mick Boogie & Terry Urban is the latest installment in this sub-genre of hip-hop. Each and every track on Viva La Hova is mashed-up so masterfully well that it reminds me of the musical prowess featured on The Grey Album. A few of the tracks that you NEED to listen to first are “Public Speeding,” “Lost Part 1,” and “The Reverse Fix.”

1) Intro (produced by Mick Boogie & Terry Urban)
