I’ve watched COMING TO AMERICA twice in the past two weeks; once on the flight from LA to DC for the Nike Boots event last week and once On Demand the other night. I forgot how much this movie changed my life as a kid. So many amazing cultural references, cameos and quotables in this movie.

Nottz used the flute sample from the film’s opening in…

Diplo used the other song from the film’s opening in…

Download Clipse “Queen Bitch (Diplo remix)” from DJ Benzi’s WE GOT THE REMIX

And props to Good Bully for informing me that David Banner used the royal theme from Coming to America…

Perhaps the greatest contribution to pop culture from the movie is the Soul Glo theme song. Peep the second usage in the film…

This homemade version is pretty much amazing too

My dudes at Paper Route Recordz down in Huntsville, Alabama cooked up this banger in 2007. Peep their one page feature in the 150th issue of URB with Elitaste client Wale on the cover and their seven page feature in the 51st issue of FADER with Keri Hilson and Santogold on the cover (Download Here). Starting to get a little heat. I dropped it at the club when I was DJing at Sutra on Friday night for Abdullah’s birthday (shout out to DJ Skee, Evidence and Colby O’Donis), definitely got some love on the dancefloor. Side note: Orange County gets sick; none of that Hollywood American Apparel hipster bullshit. And I saw a dude wearing a Johnny Cupcakes shirt.

Watch for Mad Decent and DJ Benzi present: Paper Route Recordz FEAR AND LOATHING IN HUNTS VEGAS featuring a ridiculous Run DMC influenced remix of “Bama Gettng Money” from Krames, a Flosstradamus remix of “Rollin”, a DJ Sega remix of “Rollin” and a few remixes from Diplo (Pitchfork mentions the mixtape in their latest piece on Diplo)
