[MP3] Marvin Gaye – Ain’t That Peculiar (Oddisee remix) from Odd Renditions

What could have been? Spotted this one on the homie, Roget’s Facebook page. Soul legend Marvin Gaye singing over a 2012 beat, produced by Oddisee and it actually works and sounds great! Read Oddisee speak on the Odd Renditions project it comes from here:

Before my new album “People Hear What They See” drops (pre-order it HERE now), I wanted to share some remixes & edits I put together of various tracks. I created four unofficial remixes of songs by K-Os, Bon Iver, Metronomy & one of my favorite artists of all time, Marvin Gaye. After recording vocals to all of them, I felt it was only right to slap a cover on it & release it.

Tracklist:
1. Paralyzed
2. The Gold Is Mine
3. Ain’t That Peculiar
4. Man I Use To Be

Pete Rock HATES Lupe Fiasco’s “Around My Way (Freedom Ain’t Free)” Track

MP3 Download: Lupe Fiasco – Around My Way (Freedom Aint Free)

Read why HERE. I hear Pete but it’s not like he wrote the track to begin with, he sampled Tom Scott‘s “Today.” This incident probably speaks to a bunch of issues around hip hop today but I’ll leave that to the online peanut gallery to get into….

“Around My Way (Freedom Ain’t Free)” is apparently from the forthcoming Food & Liquor II album.
