He’s a nobody trying to whip up free publicity off the back of another band’s success.

If he’d just posted his stuff openly, e.g. on the atease forums, no one would have complained.

WOW,
Not sure of the politiks behind this movement, but these hip-hop guys look genuine and RH likes innovative stuff. Hope RH just needed time to digest this request. Looking forward to a resolution to hear these new interpretations.

I’m sorry, but have any of you listened to the same mp3’s as me? How anyone can defend this lazy, sloppy shit is really beyond me. I find it hard to believe that there are actually Radiohead fans out there who enjoy some jerk saying something about “booty” on top of a Nude sample.

Sounds like crap to me. And yes, adding a “z” to the original titles shows a staggering lack of imagination.

“Why don’t they write there own material and release it?
Because they can’t. They have no ideas of their own so they ‘remix’ somebody else’s.
It’s sad and pathetic really.”

Umm…He has 4 critically acclaimed studio albums as 1 half of Zion I, and he has countless other production credits. He’s not just a “schmuck with a computer program.”

There’s nothing “lame and GAY” about this.

Wow… These comments. Rdiohead snobbery at it’s finest… “Why do a remix of a great song? Write your own stuff Apmlive.” Shut it. By your logic Radiohead shouldn’t have done the Smiths or Joy Division cover on their webcast. Why alter a perfectly good song? Right? Yet, they were great covers. So just because someone might do a “distasteful” cover, they shouldn’t be allowed to do it? A lot of people are missing the gesture and point of this guy’s album. By pious about all this and making it all too precious is really annoying. If you don’t like it… Don’t listen too it. Doesn’t mean that the guy shouldn’t be able to release it. And… He’s not making a profit.
