There’s little dispute over the sheer quality of Cam’ron‘s 2004 classic Purple Haze, and since the rapper has returned this week with the actually not-that-bad mixtape Ghetto Heaven, mysterious New York producer MONEYDVNCE‘s rework of Purple Haze‘s ‘Get ‘Em Girls’ is strangely appropriate.
The slick shimmer and bounce of Cam’s original has been dropped in favor of gut wrenching sub bass drops, post-apocalyptic percussion and the sort of cavernous reverb that suggests there’s something large and terrifying waiting for you just around the corner. It leaves us wondering just how good Ghetto Heaven might have been had it taken a similar route.
