Kanye West’s latest album was a real change of pace for him, veering more towards moody pop than hip-hop. Recently, I did a mashup of his “Love Lockdown” with Radiohead’s “Reckoner”.
When I heard The Fray performing this beautiful cover of Kanye’s “Heartless” on BBC’s Radio 1, it really seemed to capture the song’s melancholy feeling. The Police’s “Message in a Bottle” also fit the mood, and for the beat I used a sloooowwwed down “Boom Boom Pow”, the Black Eyed Peas’ inescapable hit.
Kanye based his original “Heartless” on a sample by the Alan Parsons Project, “Ammonia Avenue”, so I grabbed that sample, and also added a little bit of 2Pac’s “Dear Mama”, where he talks about being “heartless”.
And here’s the video for it:

Played this last time i DJed a Blues night and the whole floor was packed with dancers. Everyone loved it. Had a number of people coming up after asking what the track was. Again, fantastic work, keep it going!

Wow. I was mainly focusing on how you would use Boom Boom Pow… I wasn’t really sold on it, but as I got farther along… I really started to enjoy myself, ya know?
Great mix. Not your best, but still great.
