The sound/quality is much better on this. The track was produced by The Runners. Lloyd also has informed fans that a video is in the works for the new single. What do you guys think?

Drake Ft Lil Wayne, Kanye West & Eminem – “Forever” Travis Barker Remix [w/ Video]

Here is a a rock remix to Drake’s song Forever featuring Lil Wayne, Kanye West, and Eminem. Travis Barker remixes this great song with a new look, using drums and guitar for the beat. Watch it in the video below provided by MTV, download the song below that, and beneath that you can read MTV’s article all about the song. Let us know what you think in the comments section and enjoy.

Apparently, Travis Barker doesn’t sleep. At all. Which is how he’s able to keep cranking out remixes while simultaneously working on a new Blink-182 record, his own solo album, and rehearsing for an upcoming show with none other than Slash (a November 22 benefit for the Los Angeles Youth Network). And that’s not even getting into his business ventures, or his role as a rock-and-roll dad.

“Yeah, I wake up at 6,” he laughed. “I’m a busy man, I guess.”

Seriously, the guy never rests. And as if you need further proof of this, check out his brand-new remix of Drake’s “Forever” (with video of Travis drumming), which Barker emailed to MTV News Wednesday (November 11) morning. It’s just the latest in a long line of hip hop tracks he’s remixed (earlier this year, he took a stab at Eminem’s gory “3 A.M.” and his take on Soulja Boy’s “Crank That” has already established itself as a YouTube staple), and it just proves that he can’t leave a good beat alone.

“This song gets played so much — whether it be on TV or on the radio or XM — and I think songs like this that you can’t escape, you start to get ideas in your head about how you’d want to flip it,” Barker said. “And this song is awesome; every verse is crazy. Who could ask for a better lineup as far as rappers? And everyone’s going in on their verse. So I was excited about it, I didn’t have to think twice about getting on it.”

Working strictly off an a cappella track, Barker crafted his “Forever” mix from the ground up, spending a week tinkering in the studio with his production partner, Sweatshop. The main goal, he said, was to build a drum line that matched the constantly shifting mood and tempo of the song, which famously features verses from Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Eminem, even if that meant showing a bit of restraint on the remix — something he’s not used to doing.

“Remixes are hard, because some of my critics will be like, ‘Trav, you shoulda gone bananas on it,’ but going bananas on it will sometimes take away from how cool a song is — it’s a happy medium,” he laughed. “With this one, I see a gradual crescendo — it just gets bigger and bigger and bigger, all the way up until the last chorus, where I crash out and there’s a big Phil Collins moment, with a drum-fill solo underneath Drake’s chorus. It was a tough one, man.”

So is Drake happy with the end result? Barker has no idea — seems Drizzy hasn’t even heard the remix yet. No one has. Until now, that is.

“No one’s heard this!” Barker said. “Actually, Marshall [Mathers, a.k.a. Eminem] heard it, and he loved it — but no one else has.”

Lil Scrappy On Lil Wayne’s Sentence: “This Is The Most Rappers That Done Got Locked Up” [Video]

With the recent legal troubles surrounding Lil Wayne and Lil Boosie, SOHH spoke with Disturbin’ Tha Peace’s Lil Scrappy to get his take on seeing the two fellow Southern artists preparing for jail time.

From Scrappy’s perspective, this year has seen the most incarcerated rappers at one time to date.

“I don’t know how to react cuz, ’cause it’s like damn, if anybody noticed, this is the most rappers that done got locked up,” Scrappy explained. “I’ma tell you what it is though, it’s from certain niggas feeling like ‘I’m a rapper, I can do whatever the fuck I wanna do,’ and not saying I’m a boss and do whatever I wanna do. If you a boss and you doing whatever you wanna do, you still gonna do it where you gonna be good, you not gonna just be ‘Oh, I fucked up cuz, now I got eight years.’ Nah, not like that, they gonna be like ‘Eh, I did whatever I had to do, I’m good.’ Niggas be going out their character, cuz. They doin’ shit they wouldn’t even do and they get fucked up.”

Lil Wayne recently plead guilty to a deal where he will serve up to a year in prison. Shouts to SOHH, do you agree with Scrappy? Hit us up in the comments.
