These "readaptations" are incredible. Did FOG do any other hiphop tracks? I would definitely like to hear more.

i have the first ep but i don't think i've listened to it in years. i think they're both out of print though.

Yeah, mine both came in super-homemade cardboard sleeves, so I wouldn't be suprised if they're out of print by now.

I'm all about leftfield hip hop, but the Kool G Rap remix is sloppy at best. Kind of a let down.

I am absolutely loving these "covers". I saw Fog a couple of years ago and despite the feeling that the band was really unrehearsed (first show of a tour), they were still pretty incredible.

Love the subtle use of the original strings on his Rakim remix. Very good stuff.

Rakim: amazing how the big major-minor chords make the whole thing so sound so settled and secure. raps which were previously desperate suddenly sound laidback and the boasts self-evident. good hiphop has always been about the production. long live primo and pete rock!

Wack. Sorry.

I dug both of these. I was feelin the Kool G cause he brought a kind of Robert Johnson/'Paris, Texas' flavor to the party. Rakim remix was straight-up plinky.
