Danny Brown and Freddie Gibbs are remaking Outkast's Return of the G

[THE 101]

Brit producer Paul White also made the beat for their reworking of the Atlanta duo’s track.

In an extensive video interview by Danish hip hop site DrozDailySteezin, Danny Brown talks in-depth about his late entrance into the game after growing up with “Versace and ballers” rap that he didn’t relate to.

The madcap talent also discusses his forthcoming debut album OLD and reveals that the mooted collaboration with modern gangster Freddie Gibbs is a “remake” of Outkast’s Aquemeni cut ‘Return of the G’ – and it’s produced by British up’n'comer and previous Brown collaborator Paul White. “The beat sounds like a fukking haunted house,” says Brown.

The gap-toothed one also talks about 50 Cent, Sarah Palin and having “bytches on my dikk” way back in middle school.

OLD is set for release in August on Fool’s Gold and features guest spots from Schoolboy Q and Mr Muthafukkin’ eXquire as well as Scrufizzer, A$AP Rocky, Ab-Soul, Purity Ring and British pop sensation Charli XCX. Production comes from Darq E Freaker, OhNo, Rustie, Skywlkr, A-Trak and Frank Dukes.

It's tradition in hip hop to pay homage to classics.

Snoop did it on Lodi Dodi
Cam did on Dope Man
Black Star remade Children's Story

How many times has 93 til Infinity been remade?

Elzhi did a whole album covering Illmatic.

Ain't nothing wrong with showing love to old classics.

I would listen to a whole album with the 2 of them but at remaking rap classics.

In fact...I typically don't like any Cover songs and remakes in any genre. but that's just me. Even if the remake sounds good, it still has the stench of REMAKE all over it and I can't fully enjoy it.
