Finally, an excuse to post about the Hood Internet
Holy shit, the Hood Internet may have just dropped their best mashup to date. “Bros Before Whoas” takes Black Rob’s classic “Whoa” and mashes it with Panda Bear’s “Bros”. What ABX of the Hood Internet did with the owl hoot… My god, he has single handedly justified the entire history of the mashup.
I’ve had many arguments about the Hood Internet with my friends. They produce a lot of content, and I don’t always like their mashes, but I feel they have brought the mashup back to life. They do exactly what I, and a lot of the internet, want to hear: indie rock with rap on top. They’ve taken the mashup completely away from the dance music culture that spawned it and taken it out of the club and put it where it belongs, the computer speakers and headphones of people slacking off at work.
I love you Hood Internet!
Some other Hood Internet classics:

And, of course, their breakout mashup R. Kelly vs. Broken Social Scene

[...] He makes mashups that put rap on top of indie hits, which are my favorite kind of mashup [...]
