Many, many, many, MANY albums have been chopped and screwed before but very few are actually good and well put together. I have the Chopped and Screwed version of Watch the Throne and it made me not even want to listen to the original…but then again, the Chopped not Slopped version of Echoes of Silence by The Weeknd is not that bad. Obviously, nothing beats the original (especially when The Weeknd is involved), but once in a blue moon, a DJ will go rouge and create a really good chopped/slopped/screwed remix of an album. Luckily for us, Slim K’s Chopped and Screwed version of Channel Orange is pretty great.
Frank Ocean – “Golden Girl” ft. Tyler the Creator
Frank Ocean is beautiful as usual on “Golden Girl”, singing about how he and a girl are on an island (or something? Maybe it is all ~just a metaphor~). In typical Ocean fashion, this song is a love song about how beautiful she is, etc.
Since most of you will be buying (haha) Frank Ocean’s full length, Channel Orange, on iTunes, then you will be missing out on this track. “Golden Girl” is only available to those who buy the physical copy of the CD (which would be a nice, cool Easter egg…in 1999 when people actually bought CDs). So unless you are making a trip out to where ever you buy CDs these days, you can stream “Golden Girl” here on WGWI. Oh, also, Tyler the Creator has a verse on this.
