Mr. Troublesome presents a new mash-up project, "What's a Black Beatle?", a mash-up of The Beatles and Kanye West, which will be released in July.
Mr. Troublesome wrote:I always felt like Kanye would fit so much with The Beatles. Kanye's musical deformation to pop music has made him be not just a rapper. He forgets about genres. Kanye has no styles. And the level of composition in rap music never been so elevated since Kanye came around.
I wanna dispense this project. Dont want to make a simple mix.. so it will take time. When you touch The Beatles, it's hard to make something better than the original versions. I gotta be really meticulous. I can't stain their legacy. I will make it with the most subtlety possible. Will do it how Ye would make it. Keeping the essence and redefining these legends. Kanye opened the gates for modern rap and influenced experimental / modern '00 music, Beatles opened the gates for music and influenced music history and everyone. They are innovators. So is perfect to mix both because they are musical trangressors from different eras. Mind blown a little bit.
It's gonna be a peculiar fusion. Everything will sound ideal
