Description: With this mix I tried to do a figurative assassination of Michael Jordan. Most people will probably interpret the MJ plays followed by the Kobe ones as a comparison and it is, but at the same time it is also showing Kobe erasing or eclipsing MJ. When you think of the greatest today, you think of Kobe Bryant, he's clutch, he scores at will, he makes impossible shots and is just breathtaking on the court. He's the MJ for a new generation.
I did the mix to The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford Trailer. It is a fantastic film, and I encourage anyone who enjoys the mix to go out and see the movie.
All songs are from the original soundtrack, if you would like to know them, just ask.
And by all means, i encourage discussion about MJ and Kobe...just don't get carried away.
Special Thanks to:
VenomIndustries: I owe a lot to V. He takes probably upwards of 20 questions per mix and answers all of my questions in thoughtful detail. His guidance and advice helps me improve w/ every mix. Arlubas has some real competition for Most Helpful Member, not to mention Member of the Year come '09.
Defamous 23: The mix would have never gotten off the ground had it not been for his awesome upload thread in the large clips section. I got 5 full length Jordan documentaries, 7 other shows on MJ, and 2 docs on Kobe, all from one thread.
Gold Lion: Found almost every clip I requested, and then some. I was able to make the mix as I had envisioned it and that wouldn't have been possible w/o GL.
Enjoy the mix!
