Santogold and Diplo - Top Ranking // I have yet to meet someone that doesn’t like Santogold. She’s really one of the few perfect musicians out there. M.I.A. of course is a legend. And Diplo, well he runs Mad Decent. Enough said. So when I heard about collaborations between Santi White and Diplo, and then a collab with Santogold and M.I.A., I was amazed.
Basically Santogold and Diplo put together a huge mix called “Top Ranking” which is for sale. A few tracks have been released off it, and of course they are awesome
Santogold - Starstruck (Diplo Remix) We’ve heard this one before on Diplo’s myspace. It’s a good one. Starstruck certainly isn’t my favorite track off her debut album, but it is a worthwhile track and the remix is even better.
Santogold & Diplo - Guns of Brooklyn (doc and jon hill dub) This one. This is the best track I got. It’s just awesome. Real chill, downtempo track, but it still has a good beat. highly recommended.
Santogold, M.I.A., and Gorilla Zoe - Get It Up (Radioclit Remix) This one I don’t understand. First of all, who the hell is Gorilla Zoe? Second, where is the original Get It Up? How can there be remix if there has been no original to hit the blogosphere. Finally, why does this track just end randomly? There’s just too many questions. I’m assuming that this too is off Top Ranking. I don’t know. It’s like a tribal, hip-hop track. Sounds more like a Diplo song rather than these 3 girls. however, if it is off Top Ranking that would make sense. It is Diplo’s mix after all.
Pitchblack informed me…
However “da info” says….
So I don’t really know what that track is called right now.
Thanks. Corrections are always appreciated.
Edit Ok now I understand. Radioclit did a track with Santogold and M.I.A. last year. However this version and the version that is on Radioclit’s myspace is the version from Top Ranking. That means that this track is remixed, presumably by Diplo, and includes Gorilla Zoe too. So basically, exactly what “Da Info” said.
I’m rambling. Sorry I don’t post more. Tomorrow I’ll post some Leif because he’s constantly on repeat here.
Just for fun, here’s a little teaser for the next post. Spank Rock - B-O-O-T-A-Y (Feat. Santogold & Betty Black) (Leif Remix)
