This is another one of those ReMixes that I'm not sure if you'll like, but I decided to upload anyway because *I* like it so I figure SOMEONE else will too . . like my ECCO ReMix, it strays pretty far from its source material, which is the cool intro music to SNK's KOF98 . . . if you listen, you'll hear it though. Somewhat experimental, this mix utilizes lots of new sounds I've recently gotten, as well as mastering techniques involving equalizing / compressing that I don't normally employ. If you BLAST this and put on a red hat with a metal plate, you might almost feel like Terry "Lone Wolf" Bogard . . . almost.
Discussion: Latest 15 comments/reviews; view the Another of djpretzel's onslaught of crazy mixes during OCR's
infancy, only this one is a big step up, I think.
Simply, it's just a very compelling piece of instrumental hip-hop. There is maybe too much scratching crammed into it, especially since this is a downhill ride all the way, but besides that, this is one of the the earliest power pieces on the site. It's the perfect length, and is busting with suave energy. I'm practically in love with this mix, which is even more surprising when you check out how old and dusty it really is.

I think the scratches get a bit out of hand, and kind of obscure
the rest of the track, but when I can hear the actual music itself
through the sonic assault that is the record scratching, it's
pretty good.

Best mix ever, DJP needs to close down the site because nothing
will top this in forever years

This is definitely one of my favorite remixes. I've been a SNK/KOF
fan for years and this has to be one of the coolest SNK remixes out
there. People seem to have a problem with the scratches, I can't
tell the difference, it all sounds good to me. The beat, just the
overall feel, man it really sounds great. I couldn't say enough
about how good this mix is, thanks DJP for this slick remix.

You know, I've never actually played this game, but this remix is
infinitely likable. I heard this on VGDJ, and I knew I just had to
get it. Up until VGDJ, I only downloaded mixes from games I knew
fairly well.
This mix shows me that maybe I need to get a little more adventurous. :o

Provided there's ever a KOF film adaptation djp feels proud to put
his name to (given past instances of game movies, I bet we will be
waiting a while...), this is undoubtedly the end credit track.
Stylish and a little *too* manufactured, just like the 'street
brawls' in KOF, heh. Very slick.

The scratches are too soft, muffled and not... not.... sharp enough
for this track. The scratching sounds like pulling a bullroar
through the wind... it sounds quite cheap.
However, this way it is orchestrated could have possibly a nice crisp hiphop drums going on here, but it wasn't carried through. Mostly due to the fact that the scratching did hamper the potential of the drums. The synths were well chosen and actually pleasant to listen to, like that often heard in French hiphop (which pwns the English/Ebonic variation.)

Dis song be off da heezey fo' sheezy yo! Umm now that that's over
and done with. I really liked this song. Loved the scratching, nice
touch! Never actually played the game, but this was one awesome set
although it was a bit on the short side, but I don't mind replaying
it over and over again. Love the ghetto-style feel, almost makes me
want to break out my turntables and booty dance for the rest of the
night. Hmm.. Not a bad idea.

You know what's COOL?! RECORDS BEING SCRATCHED! *ticks people off*
HAHAHA! :lol:
No, but seriously. This is a good remix, but it's not great. I like the way DJP did this one, but I still can't get over the off-beat-thingy to this song. The scracthes are a tad overused, but all in all, a good mix. Nice for your ever-expanding collection. Still doesn't compare to DJP's "ElasticNewYear". ^^

[b]The best thing since spaghetti[/b]
No amount of metamucil could make this shit slicker. It's cool as a cucumber.
But seriously, all idiot phrases aside, I love this remix. Me and 'Ghetto Recursive' go back a long way. Let us step into my trusty time machine and go back say, ten months. As we step out of the time machine we see a young man, mouth agape, listening attentively at what beautiful sound is coming out of his speakers. That young man was me. The song... none other than 'Ghetto Recursive'. A few minutes prior, I had stumbled upon another gem, 'Lord Protektor' and was mesmerized by it too. A link in the summary of said song sent me to the song I now review.
At the time I could'nt quite put my finger on what made me enjoy the song so much. I listened again and again but I could'nt figure it out... and til this day I still can't.
Let us hop into the time machine and venture forward, to the present.
All and all, this track was very well put together. I am really no expert on hip hop or even music for that matter, but contrary to what others have said, I think the scratches fit in quite nicely. Under the scratches, the music was very good; it definitely had an east asian feel. Throughout the whole song, I had a picture in my mind of Joe and the Bogart Bros. waiting on those docks... warming up, preparing for the upcoming match, sun rising on the horizon.
Personally I think this track rocks and therefore recommend it to anyone who would come across this site for some good quality VG remixes, just as i did ten months ago. That 'recommend' would be promoted to 'highly recommend' if you listened to DJP's Lord Protektor and found yourself nodding your head.

King of Fighters '98 'Ghetto Recursive'
For some odd reason there are individuals who think the sound of records scratching is cool. Whatever. The record scratches here are obviously synthetic and NOT real vinyl being scratched. The music underneath the scratches is pretty good, though far from brilliant. I think it does capture the attitude of KoF, though. I would probably like this mix a lot more if it didn't have the non-stop scratches.
Note: When reading the next paragraph it is VITAL that you imagine me wearing a snow cap in the hot summer, baggy clothes, lots of chains hanging everywhere, a frown indicating that I am a bad boy and my arms out with both hands pointing at eachother with two fingers and the thumb up in the shape of a gun. Got it? OK now read:
yo yo if u b ghetto yo and b down wif da homiez den u need dis remix aight. dis mix ain't fo no proper english speakin foos yo. if u normally talk like dis den u pass da test. git da remix now yo. word.
