Biggie vs. Frank Sinatra

While scouraging across the internet looking for music, I found an interesting remix of an old Frank Sinatra song. To my surprise, the person who began rapping over it was the Notorious B.I.G. The person who mixed it was named DJ Cappel and the album is called Blue Eyes Meets Bed Stuys, referring to Frank Sinatra who was often called Old Blue Eyes, and Biggie who hailed from the Bed Stuys neighborhood in Brooklyn.

For anyone looking for an interesting mix, this DJ is quite good at mixing old and new music. Aside from this album, he mixed an old Marvin Gaye song with a Mos Def song and an album called Purple Reign which used the Prince album of the same semi-name. Anyway, I'm really tired of radio ready pop and hip-hop, or boring rock anthems by cry baby bands, so if you feel the same, I urge you to check this guy out. Biggie, Sinatra, Mos Def, Prince, and Marivin Gaye are all legends. How could you go wrong?
