"A-LIST MUSIC SUPERVISOR needs HIP HOP SONGS in the style of Montell Jordan, Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Ludacris, DMX, Eminem, etc., for a FEATURE FILM. Below are two examples of songs to get you in the stylistic ballpark.
"This Is How We Do It" by Montell Jordan http://bit.ly/8NnY2Z
"P.S.A" by Jay-Z http://bit.ly/pdjJR
They're looking for ENERGETIC SONGS with DRIVE and MOMENTUM that will help juice-up the scene. MID-to-UPTEMPO songs with CONTEMPORARY and UNIQUE BEATS/MELODIES will work best for this pitch. MALE or FEMALE VOCALS will both be accepted. LYRICS MUST be UNIVERSAL! "
**loose translation for guitar based music lovers: HARD ROCK SONGS wanted in the style of Fleetwood Mac, Metallica, Guns'n Roses, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath etc**
To me the 2 reference songs had very little if anything in common.
Most importantly, the first one by singer Montell Jordan is not hip-hop but a famous r&b song.
Also it's from 1995, while the listing mentions "contemporary".
Then "in the style of" also starts off with said Montell Jordan (not a rapper), followed by a wide range of famous, more or less hardcore rappers.
Finally, Jay-Z's song is an entirely different animal - raw, hardcore, bragging style hip-hop.
Oh well, never mind me
On to the next opportunity!Jay
