Somebody named Dert has mashed up a bunch of Jose Gonzalez songs with some great hip hop tracks, and produced six of what will definitely be top-played songs on my stereo.
The hip hop artists chosen are varied in both style and success, but each is mellowed by the acoustic guitar hooks cut from Jose Gonzalez' tracks; Dert even manages to breathe life into the overplayed "Dreams" by The Game. So far, I can only find 6 tracks on YouTube, here they are:
Aceyal "The Greatest Show on Earth"/J.G. "Hint"

MF Doom "My Favorite Ladies"/J.G. "Remain"

Kanye West & Mos Def "2 Words"/J.G. "Slow Moves"

The Game "Dreams"/J.G. "Crosses"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WCuGVNuWh8
Common & Erykah Badu "The Light"/J.G. "Heartbeats"

Deadweight on Velveteen/J.G. "Good Mourning"

I can't say enough, these are so fun to listen to. Let me know if you find them anywhere else, I'd like to buy the tracks.

Do really own a stereo? Just wondering...
By "stereo", I meant "iPod plugged into speakers/headphones"...
