dj BC’s official site.

mp3:

Mash It Funky (13 James Brown songs in four minutes)

Listen Twice (Talib Kweli vs. Doobie Brothers)

Mamma Jamma Jiver (Get this — “She’s A Bad Mama Jamma” - Carl Carlton, “Brown Sugar” - Mos Def and Faith Evans, “Jive Talkin’” - George Michael, “Get Busy” - Sean Paul, and “Rockit” - Herbie Hancock)

Gimme The Nightclub (50 Cent vs. George Benson)

A fitting tribute to one of my favorite South Park episodes, “Good Times With Weapons”:
