It’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted a mashup, and a hotter minute since I’ve repped something from the Hood Internet. Recently I was reflecting on how far this blog has come in the past year plus, and I remembered that the first track I ever posted was a Hood Internet mashup – a baller combination of Lil Mama and MSTRKRFT.
My nostalgia was perfectly timed, as I came across “Free Control Ocho,” a mashup of Kid Sister, Phonat, and Pitbull from those Hood Internet boys. The song is dope, and really kicks off around the 2 minute mark when Pitbull joins in. The lazy flow and fluidity of the measures in his rap mix with the pulsing and driving beat to really pump the song up. I dig it.
Man, Pitbull is one of those artists that I feel bad for liking for some reason. Why is that? I’m formally declaring that Pitbull is a guilty pleasure, and I don’t even feel bad about it. Hear that? I BUMP TO PITBULL AND I’M NOT ASHAMED. CUUULOOOOOOOOOOO.

Fun Fact O’ The Day: I once made a video for a Spanish class about hairstyles in Spain, and the title sequence was a dubbed version of “Culo” where we said “Pelo” instead. Genius, if I do say so myself.
