Norwegian Recycling

Donkey Business by Norwegian Recycling.

Peter Bull, better known by his stage name Norwegian Recycling, wanted to make a tribute to David Wise. David Wise is a British guy who composed the soundtracks to numerous video games, most notably Battletoads and the Donkey Kong Country series. On Donkey Business, the beats Peter Bull samples are all taken from Donkey Kong Country and set to hip-hop songs. It sounds like it's only a novelty, but it works on the strength of the vocals sampled from many places and the fact that Donkey Kong Country does have a pretty bad ass soundtrack - something I had never thought of before listening to Donkey Business. I'll never listen to Eminem the same way again.

Bonus Norwegian Recycling track: "Acoustic Alchemy" is a pretty damn cool mix of his, too.
