El-P “Rush Over Bklyn” | @therealelp

Check this new El-P joint where he’s sampled Rush’s Tom Sawyer. This song comes courtesy of a new technology called Legitmix. Simply put, this technology puts the whole sample-clearing mess to rest. It’s still new, but here’s the idea:

“When a consumer purchases “Rush Over Bkyln”, the browser-based Legitmix software searches their computer for the “Tom Sawyer” track. If they don’t have it they can purchase it from Legitmix or any online music store. With a few mouse clicks, the Legitmix software recreates on the binary level “Rush Over Bklyn” on the consumer’s computer using their copy of “Tom Sawyer”. The price of “Rush Over Bklyn is $0.70 plus the retail cost of the “Tom Sawyer” track (if the consumer doesn’t have it).”
