You Went Away On Vacation And All You Brought Me Back Is This Stupid Diplo Song?
O contraire, this isn’t just any stupid Diplo song, this is a re-working of A Tribe Called Quest’s “Electric Relaxation.” No Baile funk. No M.I.A. telling you she’s going to get your money and then re-distribute it to Third World Orphans Who Want to Learn to Dress Good and Do Other Stuff Good Too. Just a lift of Phife Dawg’s, “I like ‘em brown, yellow, Puerto Rican and Haitian” line, the sped-up and slick glide of Ronnie Forster’s “Mystic Brew,” and some fierce, clapping drums. It’s called “Brew Barrymore.” I know. That doesn’t change the fact that it deserves to be on every amateur DJ’s Fourth of July play-list.
MP3: Diplo-”Brew Barrymore”
MP3: A Tribe Called Quest-”Electric Relaxation”
MP3: Ronnie Forster-”Mystic Brew”
Stumble It!

ay yo, i’m gonna disagree with you and say that this is just plain weak. don’t get me wrong, diplo rips almost every beat he touches, but i would advice that even the greatest djs approach a classic like ATCQ’s electric relaxation with some serious respect. i mean, the original is pretty much flawless so if he is going to make changes it better be something outta this world. this was mediocre. at best. damn.
