Central Cali Remix Of DJ Khaled's "We Takin' Over"
Posted on May 23, 2007 1:38 AM
So yesterday (Tuesday) I got an email about a Central Cali remix of DJ Khaled’s “We Takin’ Over”, which originally featured Akon, Rick Ross, TI, Baby, Fat Joe and Lil Wayne. This time around, howewver, the lyrics would be provided by Fresno emcees Planet Asia, Diego Redd, Shake Da Mayor, and 17-year-old prospect Fashawn.
And yes, I said Fresno.
Now I know everybody’s probably already had their fill of unofficial remixes on mixtapes, what with 37 reincarnations of “Money In The Bank” that popped up last year, and the 300-something remixes of “We Fly High” that came around with the same Jim Jones verse on all of them, but I was already feeling the original version of this track as it is (clown all you want, but Danjahandz killed it with that beat) and truth be told, the Fresno dudes definitely do it justice with their version.
But you be the judge...
Although the verse from Shake Da Mayor is kinda weak in my opinion, Planet Asia beasts on the track like it was made for him to rap on in the first place, while Diego Redd comes through with an unorthodox but memorable 16 and Fashawn lets everybody know that he’s gonna be one to watch in upcoming years.
The video is obviously budget as f**k, although they did ante up to rent a couple of Phantoms for the shoot so I gotta give ‘em dap for at least tryin’. But the song itself is most definitely noteworthy, and while I don’t necessarily think that Central Cali is takin’ over just yet (not hating, I’m just being realistic), I think that more efforts like this definitely can’t hurt. And based off of what I heard on the advance copy of Planet Asia’s new album that I just recieved, there’s plenty more where this came from...

Yeah its pretty good to see 80 putting little known artists on this site ... co-sign 80 ...
Decent effort .. but i really fail to see hip hop as party music ... probably cruising music .. hehe the guy at 1.11 though looks like the black elton john though
Nice track but Bakon's hook made me want 2 stop playin this shit seriously shit is annoying but them dudes could spit Str8 out still waitin on that Planet Asia album.
I got two problems with this.
1. The repeating of sentences twice
2. How you gonna have Planet Asia go first? Planet Asia should have went last over the beat change up...but I guess that shows how much they respect shake
Oh well, it was still cool, I was impressed by Fashawn and Diego cuz I don't really know them so I expected them to come whack and they didn't. I wish...no I KNOW Asia could've came harder, but it's still cool.
Killa Tay is the Hardest Rapper Ever out of Fresno.
that was nice. i heard diego redd's track "turnt out" on here a few months back and have been inpressed by him ever since. and that young kid is nice as well. planet asia was good and i thought the guy at the end was good with how his verse went.anyways i was impressed by this video.

Whas good 8-0, I have to be honest-I'm not feeling the beat for "We Takin' Over" like dat! It's alright but I ain't joccin' by no means! Asia has alwayz been tight to me though thas fa sho'! I'm also cosignin' w/ these other cats on here as far as Killa Tay. Dude is real!! That 'Mafioso' album is straight classic!

killa tay ain't lived in fresno in the last 10yrs...
his first two albums were hard..
did you forget he went gospel and now is trying to come back?
fresno's hardest to fuck wit is diegoRedd
LMAO!! yall lame ass cali niggaz did the song no justice. this is a miami track and yall need to keep it that way. cali is not taking over...miami is.
DADE COUNTY NIGGA WHAT!!!
^^^^^^^^^^What a funny fellow...Miami is taking over? Yea sure. There was one Miami rapper on that track, and he was Garbello Anthony(Garbage). Lil Wayne killed the original, and if I remember right...he's from Nawlins(New Orleans)Therefore your claim is invalid, your a fuckin idiot, and your comments aren't needed here. Go kill yourself.
Fresno lets get it!
FUCK YEAH 209 Represent!!!
shout out to da mayor, man! his verse was hot. shake da mayor was stylin on the track-real hip hop heads know wassup.niggaz ain't knowin the history of fresno mc's out here and it sound like the rest of the comments is outta town niggaz. wangsta tay is from philly! PA stay out of town and the other two dudes is youngsters in the game. if you listen, shake is the only one talkin bout fresno-the rest of the niggaz is just rappin. shake is the only nigga dat keep comin wit bangers and gets radio. and shake is the only nigga on that track to unite all the hoods on his everybodys gangsta video. shake is the only nigga wit real hits! if i were a record exec, i would sign shake outta the four-he is the total package. the editor needs to stop hatin!
