I Juke My Hair

I must admit, I am horribly under-educated with regards to the Chicago Juke scene. Other than Dude 'n Nem, I haven't really ever listened to a juke producer, and even there in moderation. But when a four-to-the-floor juke remix of Willow Smith's "Whip My Hair" - a track that has been bumping non-stop around my pad - dropped into my inbox, I was intrigued. Then I saw that Starfoxxx had looped a Nicki Minaj verse into the mix, and I was done for.

While it does seem a little inappropriate to listen to Minaj rapping about grabbing her crotch over a 9 year-old's track, there's no denying that this remix is pretty dope. It puts the original in a new bouncy light without destroying what made it great in the first place. Willow's vocals are preserved, just jumped up a notch. I dig it, as if that needed to be said.
