The Crowd Surfers cover of Drop it Like it's Hot is a Hip Hop bluegrass mash up so pull out that mandolin, fiddle and 808s and get your beatbox on.
What we have:
Basic percussion provided by a a very talented frame drum player from the University of Washington.
What we need:
Everything else. This includes additional percussion such as a beatboxer, possibly backup singers for the chorus, any additional instrumentation we can muster (I'd love to work a banjo into this) and most importantly some talented MCs to do the parts of Snoop and Pharrell.
What's the angle:
The song is simple fun and shouldn't take too many participants to nail. It also has very open areas musically that a creative musician could fill in. Hipsters can participate because a bluegrass version of the song is sooo ironic, everyone else can bob to the chorus and make believe they are as cool as Snoop Dogg.
What's the template:
The album version of Drop it Like it's Hot (linked above) will be used for tempo, general arrangement, and key. When you make your recording please play along with this version of the song or we won't be able to use your recording.
