American Gangster ReMixtapes are out of control!


January 04, 2008 | Tags: Jay-Z, mixtapes, remix, contest, american gangster, remixtape, The Black Album

When I decided to run this American Gangster ReMixtape Contest a month ago I expected to get about 30 submissions or so. Producers had less than a month - December no less - to re-create an entire album from Jay's freshly released vocals.

I had 10 albums with 3 days.

30 plus albums in 2 weeks.

With the deadline of December 31st I received over 75 more albums over the 29th, 30th and 31st.

All in all, I ended up with over 120 submissions of full, remixed American Gangsters!!! From what I've listened to there is a lot of really great stuff here. Plenty of creative concepts and flat out great production. It will take at least another week before the final 5 remixtapes are featured and voted on, given that we have so many to get through.

Just wanted to give an update, thanks again for participating guys.
