Ahhh back from vacation and feeling refreshed. Sunny Miami Beach and Naples, Florida treated me quite nicely for the past week. However, back to life, back to reality… Here’s some jammer remixes from Captain Planet. He remixes our faves, Erykah Badu and Katy B. Dig.

Cleva - Erykah Badu - Captain Planet Remix - Love the vibe on this one, very tropical. via

Katy On a Mission - Katy B - Captain Planet Remix - Damn. Mr. Planet cannot miss. via

The most gangster shit in the world is to know what’s going on. ~ Immortal Technique

A La Modeliste - Mark Ronson feat Erykah Badu, Mos Def, Trombone Shorty, Zigaboo Modeliste and the Dap-Kings - Damn! What a motley assortment on this jammer. This track is part of the Re:GENERATION project that we discussed yesterday. If these two songs (this and yesterday’s Primo/Nas/Orchestra) are any indication of the quality we can expect from Re:Generation I’m SOUPED and you should be too.

Toxic - FKi ft Yael Naim (Prod by FKi Mayhem) - FKi updates this gem of a cover by Yael Naim. I dig it. It’s slow, sultry and oozing with fun.

Sign of the Times - Immortal Technique - If you don’t listen to Harlem’s Immortal Technique, you are slacking on your social consciousness. Tech speaks to the injustice’s in the world and the country and he does so convincingly and from a position of intelligence. This song opens up with Native American sounds. Beautiful.

I spit that wonder rhymer shit, me and my conglomerates, shall remain anonymous, caught up in the finer shit… get that type of media coverage obama get, spit that kurt vonnegut… that blow your brain, kurt cobain, that nirvana shit… ~ Jay Electronica

Run & Hide - Jay Electronica & The Bullits - Jay Elec. is one of my favorite up and coming rappers. Dude is intelligent, well spoken and better written. His raps inspire thought, reflection and awe. Dig this dude. via

Face The Facts - Mac Miller - Prod by DJ Premier - A new Primo beat and Daaaaaamn, it makes me want more. Primo really can’t miss. Mac goes in on this one. Still not the biggest fan of his voice, but he shines on this one.via

Hoop Dreams - XV - Prod by B. Dolla - As I’m sure you can tell by now, XV is my dude. I’m so pumped for every new song I’ve found from him. Dude has this tenacious charisma that I’m feeling big time these days. He’s hungry. via

Today’s post, well the written part anyhow, is about intelligence. More to the point, today’s post is about intelligence being incredibly sexy. I recently came across the word: sapiosexual (n.) - a person who is sexually attracted to intelligence in others. This fits the bill. I love this new (to me) word and will go so far as to describe myself as a sapiosexual. However, I won’t say that intelligence alone is enough for a sustaining relationship, obviously there are many other facets to attraction and healthy relationships. But I digress… here are today’s jams (what you’re all here for).

Honey - Erykah Badu - Mark Wayward Remix - The original Madlib version of this track is heat… but i dig this remix that Mr. Wayward puts to it. Might you?

Eleanor Rigby Dubstep Remix - The Beatles - 4 Centers Mix - I have said before that remixing classics is dangerous and I stand behind that. …But I like the shit out of this. Yes, another Eleanor Rigby mix, but this track is exactly what’s great about dubstep remixes. All the wampy bass parts under an amazing beatles melody. 4 Centers out of northern Nevada, killin’ it.

Diamonds are Forever - Shirley Bassey (Butch Clancy Remix) - Yezzir.

Truth, Deception & Lies - Lee Fields (Aloe Blacc remix) - WOOOO! Lee Fields crushes! …and getting a remix from Aloe is an accomplishment in it’s own right. Old school and new school doing it. Jammer.
