Today I'm gonna use all mashup songs, with rap acapella's and rock/pop beats. Of all the rappers to be used in mashups, Jay-Z is by far the most popular. When American Gangster, Jay-Z's homage to the movie, came out, there had to have been at least 50 different mashups CDs using those acapellas alone. One of my favorites was Jay thrown over some U2 beats. My favorite off of that CD, entitled U2 Gangster, is Jigga's 'Pray' vocals over U2's 'One.' The two sounds go together so well, this song could have been on the original CD. No youtube so hit the link to stream and download.

I stumbled across this next one on Youtube. Using the vocals from Joe Budden and Busta Rhyme's 'Fire' over the Red Hot Chili Pepper's 'Snow (Hey Oh)' this is just another one of those mashups that really hits its stride. The lyrics are spend up a little bit to match RHCP's quick beat and they fall in line together perfectly.

The last song of the day is called 'Technology is Right', which mixes 50 Cent's 'Ayo Technology' and Nelly Furtado's 'Say It Right'. The producer, Norwegian Recyling, muted the vocals a bit, so the track almost has an eerie sound to it. This is a great song to just sit back and let your mind wander to as the song has a sort of hypnotic effect.
