Remember when I declared the mashup “officialy” dead with that lame Jay-Z/Radiohead album? Yeah, well maybe I spoke to soon ’cause a fellow champion named Adrian Champion just resurrected music’s Frankenstein monster with his White Stripes vs. just about every hip-hop great from the 90’s re-imagining called Stars and Stripes and is a (free) must download along with it’s instrumental version!

Highlights from the 13 track album include:

• “Bombs Over Orchids” (The White Stripes “Blue Orchid”+Outkast “Bombs Over Bagdad”)
• “Icky Says” (The White Stripes “Icky Thump” + Pharoahe Monch “Simon Says”)
• “Ms. Doorbell” (The White Stripes “My Doorbell”+Mos Def “Ms. Fat Booty”)
• “Cash Run” (The White Stripes + Notorious B.I.G. & 2Pac “Oddz+Endz”)
• “One More Corner” (Common w/ Kanye “The Corner”-a song I know well as I edited the music video a few years ago)

Sooo…um, yeah…as I was saying, the Mashup is dead, long live the Mashup!

Apparently yesterday was the 16th annual World Water Day which is the “U.N.-based initiative that seeks to raise awareness to the millions of Africans that live without daily access to clean, safe water.” There’s apparently a lot more I’m not aware of when it comes to the state of water in the rest of the world:

• One billion people on the planet don’t have access to clean, safe drinking water. That’s one in six of us.
• 2.6 billion people lack adequate sanitation, specifically a toilet.
• Unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation cause 80% of all sickness and disease, and kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war.
• Of the 42,000 deaths that occur every week from unsafe water and a lack of basic sanitation, 90% are children under 5 years old.
• $20 can give a person in Africa clean, safe drinking water for 20 years.
  100% goes to direct project costs. donate >
