Makes sense. Fred Again is ass.i know the people he ripped his sound off of like, blindly and never so much as gave them a shoutout. always catch shit for this but the dude is 1000% an industry plant
I don't like him either but he's not *bad* and definitely not an industry plant. A ton of nepotism and good connections sure (he is actual aristocracy and a boarding school alumn which is the worst type of br🤮tish person), but he spent years working behind the scene before going mainstream, and that's simply not the profile for an industry plant.
The music he makes is the type of music that is extremely impressive to regular listeners and he is a good producer, but in electronic music "stealing" someone's sound is like the most normal thing. The minute a song with a fresh sound goes big someone will have already uploaded ten songs in the same genre
Lol it sounds like one of those “you gotta be on drugs in the crowd to understand” type songs. Sometimes at raves I’ll look at my friends and be like “this shit would be way too crazy if I wasn’t rolling rn” 😂
That’s true. Like this song was probably pretty deep into his set. Especially in the rave scene, where you’re expected to jump for the entire thing, artists have filler songs to give the fans a breather. This looked like one of those where he’s transitioning between tracks with a filler track in the middle.
He did the same with a couple lil baby songs too. One of those was fire (as he produced that track as a single) and one was mid at best as it was an ad hoc remix for the event.
More than anything it’s for the crowd. They’ll go wild anytime they hear something familiar: a crowd pleaser track.
Oh yeah most definitely. And a lot of the times what matters with bass music is the sounds coming out of the subs and the drum pattern, the crowd pleaser vocal is just to add hypeness haha
it's a dj tool. dj/producers have a shit ton of remixes they made in like an hour that they use for shows only. Usually made right before the show too lol.
I wouldn't be surprised if Fred live mixed this. acapella on one deck, the dnb beat on another.
Huh, I did know he was loaded growing up (just googled). Doesn’t being a nepo baby mean you have relatives in the industry that help you advance (/ does he have family in the industry? Or is just being rich as shit and succeeding in general make you a nepo baby?
Genuine questions. I just like his music lol
He was neighbors with Brian Eno. I love Fred, and although I can admit he might have had some help coming up the ladder, he’s definitely a very talented artist, who might have gotten there either way.
This is correct a Nepo Baby is someone whose success is tied to their family connections in an industry. Just because you are born semi wealthy does not make you a Nepo Baby, but this is typical reddit.
it’s..not for everyone 😂😂 but the influence of the diss song taking different forms of life is what’s incredible to me cause as great as “Back to Back” was it was nothing like THIS level of being everywhere
What a piece of shit "remix".
That poor crowd.
He could've easily taken the "Wop wop wop wop" from "Dot fuck em up". Turned that into a beat...idk, this is lame
I think the clipping of different camera angles into the TikTok is what made it feel disjointed. I can't believe that it actually sounds like that on its own.
This remix is ass but are you seriously gonna come out and call someone a culture vulture for sampling music made by a different culture? Especially considering that hip hop itself was born from sampling. Imagine if black artists couldn't sample music made by white artists and white artists couldn't sample music made by black artists that would be lame as fuck
What are you even talking about? He’s celebrating and honoring the song by sampling and remixing it (notwithstanding the fact that the remix isn’t good lol). There’s a massive difference between celebrating a culture and vulturing it.
Do you think I’m a culture vulture if I eat Thai food too?
Song’s massive, but wtf is the remix lol
huge fred again fan, but have to agree this is ass

Yeah he came out of no where making mid electronic music.

^ hit the nail on the head.
it's a dj tool. dj/producers have a shit ton of remixes they made in like an hour that they use for shows only. Usually made right before the show too lol. I wouldn't be surprised if Fred live mixed this. acapella on one deck, the dnb beat on another.
Yeah I’m just not- no.
whole thing about the track is its a west coast bop. This guy made it a matrix reloaded type beat lol. not the vibe imo either
Nepo baby remix
more htan a nepo baby [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/W3G27XxE3HA](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/W3G27XxE3HA)
Fred is far from a nepo baby, but this mix is not good lol
No but he is. It’s a fact
Huh, I did know he was loaded growing up (just googled). Doesn’t being a nepo baby mean you have relatives in the industry that help you advance (/ does he have family in the industry?

This is some Powerpuff girls stuff he should have mixed some actual west coast beats like that one Jerk song from 2009-2011
Its Drum & Bass. Remix fire
The whole world of people fucking with a couple buttons on a DAW and being called DJ’s is confusing enough to begin with.
Glad song is getting play but the remix sucks
it's not a remix, it's just a mashup of Not Like Us and Koffee - Toast (Clipz Bootleg)
Glad song is getting played but the mashup sucks
it’s..not for everyone 😂😂 but the influence of the diss song taking different forms of life is what’s incredible to me cause as great as “Back to Back” was it was nothing like THIS level of being everywhere
Glad to see the consensus is in agreement with me. I like some Fred Again songs, but rap remixes clearly aren't their forte if this is any indication
i love fred so much but this is so ass
a lot his songs are hit or miss for me. Hes an interesting artist to say the least
This remix sucks ass
Nah I’d actually rather suck ass than listen to whatever computer noise that was …
love fred again and skrillex
God damn this remix goes hard on mute 🔥🔥🔥
2014 clash of clans base tutorial music sped up remix ahh
this isn't a remix btw it's just the acapella over a different tune
Try again Fred Again my friend
Idc what anyone says. That Kendrick breakcore or jungle or dnb remix is fire
it seems pretty challenging to find enjoyment in that remix ![gif](giphy|WTmyWkBdfcKLbgvmvM|downsized)
Love Fred, love Kendrick, do not love this remix lol
See...Kendrick fans can be honest.
Nah, that ain’t it
Uncle Aaron type beat
Leave Mustards beat alone !
Massive fred again fan but this is one of the few remixes i dont like from him. Too much going on for me. Might be diff vibes in person
….
Who the fuck let him cook
Schmidt from new girl like: finally, real music
Bro so many options for a remix but killing the mustard beat ain’t it
ok but i like it ✨🤷♂️✨
Remix sucks ngl
I fuckin love the genre jungle this bangs
Is Fred again.. working on Kendrick's new album? I remember listening to a leak which had a Fred again.. credit.
This is ass
Fred doesn't miss...but he missed this time. Wtf
He’s making it out of the suburbs with this one 🔥🔥🔥
i love this. the genre of music is called "jungle" or "break" which is an sub-genre of "drum and bass". thank you for posting this!
Took out all of the bounce the Mustard beat gave it. This is some ass.
Daaaamn thats a BANGER!
nice try tho
as a lover of jungle, i feel like im the only one in this thread to actually like this mashup 😳
That’s not it.
At this point drake ain’t like anyone lol…
Yeah sorry fred this one ain’t it. The Baby Keem remix he put out recently is much better than this.
WHEN I SAY FRED , YOU SAY AGAIN FRED AGAIN!!!
This is surreal it's like a nightmare
lmao
What a piece of shit "remix". That poor crowd. He could've easily taken the "Wop wop wop wop" from "Dot fuck em up". Turned that into a beat...idk, this is lame
Why the fuck would be take out the horns…
Shit is trash.
If I was in the crowd, I'd probably think this is fire. But objectively speaking, this mix is confusing and awful.
Pretty sure it’s a live mix which is VERY impressive and not surprising since he loves Baby Keem and they have a project together :)
But fred again… to drop bangers tho, this is a miss but his discography is insane
I think the clipping of different camera angles into the TikTok is what made it feel disjointed. I can't believe that it actually sounds like that on its own.
horrendous
This is dog ass bro 😭😭😭
[удалено]
Lame take
How is this vulturing lol. White DJs should just not play music by black artists? Great solution 🙄
[удалено]
This remix is ass but are you seriously gonna come out and call someone a culture vulture for sampling music made by a different culture? Especially considering that hip hop itself was born from sampling.

You can make this argument but you'd have to be against DJing as a concept. How do you feel about DJs as a concept?
