Outkast | Ms. Jackson (Potatohead People remix)
Two of Vancouver’s most talented hip-hop producers and beat-makers, Nate Drobner and Nick Wisdom , a.k.a. Potatohead People, have put their spin on Outkast’s anthemic pop classic “Ms. Jackson” and it sounds delightful. The pair layers Big Boi and Andre 3000 over top a cheeky impetuous boom-bap groove that will leave you in need of a neck-brace. They also weave in some vocals from Kendrick Lamar’s “Sing About Me, I’m Dyin’ of Thirst”–one of my favourite cuts off his acclaimed Good Kid, M.A.D.D. City LP.
The pair will be sorely missed by the denizens of Vancouver’s electronic and hip-hop enthusiast community. Nate recently re-located to Montreal and Nick has plans to join him before the summer is out.
Love,
Wolfey
