Sorry Kideight (Filthysox). I know your AG remix is amazing & i know you're representing for my side of the pond (UK) but Crooklyn Gangster is THEE best AG remix album i've heard so far, bar none. Small Professor (see what he did there) has crafted something that goes way beyond what any other remix album and the original itself could achieve. Anyone who knows their movies knows the feeling that the dark string arrangements did for Bullitt. Well, SP has created this same dark mysterious 70's feel on his masterpiece. From start to finish the samples have been used to perfection and every beat fits not just Jay's vocal but the topics of the songs as well. The production is far superior to the original & since there was never anything wrong with the original lyrically, i would go so far as to say that Jay could've had a classic on his hands. I don't care how many of the samples used have been heard before or who used em because the fact is this guy has created something special. This needs a retail release asap. In my opinion this is one of the best produced albums of the year retail or not. I would have to question whether half of these samples would get cleared though. I'll say it again, A Masterpiece. GRAB THIS NOW!!!
