that's exactly the so-called "UK bootleg" craze, though: putting vocals over
another track. the intent here is different, but the effect is the same,
really. what's interesting is (as someone pointed out already) that a major
label put this track out without clearing it. as far as i'm concerned, dre
(or whoever) can do whatever he wants to.
you can go back further, to the Jams' "The Queen and I," a track that is
essentially ABBA's "Dancing Queen" with a beat and rap vocals added. if you
haven't heard this track, go here: http://detritus.net/archive/klf/ (thanks
