No Type - Rae Sremmurd



tempo: 62.5 bpm

bpm range: 60 bpm to 65 bpm

The DJ's Take: A prime example of minimalist hiphop. Simple beat with some flourishes in the percussion, and nursery rhyme lyrics. The harpsichord makes this sound like something royalty listened to in the 1400s, lounging around the castle with nothing to do.

Hard to dance to, although this crew gives it a good effort:



All that said, the memorable hook and hit status back in 2014 make it worth an occasional spin on a pop or hiphop night. Try mixing or mashing up with:

No Complaints - Metro Boomin ft. Drake, Offset
LOVE. FEAT. ZACARI. - Kendrick Lamar, Zacari
Sign of the Times - Harry Styles
Weak - AJR
oui - Jeremih
Here - Alessia Cara
Blasé (feat. Future & Rae Sremmurd) - Ty Dolla $ign

And if you're willing to bump up a couple bpm:

The Recipe - Kendrick Lamar
Hotline Bling - Drake
No Sense - Justin Bieber ft. Travi$ Scott
I Should've Cheated - Keyshia Cole

dj mix/mashup: do you think of me [mariah carey] x always forever [bryson tiller]

Links: Made with Logic Pro at 72 bpm Fun little instrumental blend of Bryson Tiller's Always Forever , which we used in mix 66 , and Mariah Carey's Do You Think of Me , which ended up on the cutting room floor. As you can see up top, I broke out the scalpel and did some slicing to make the beats match up better. Final verdict: Worth it. Follow the playlist on djcheatsheet.com

DJ mix/mashup: no can do because of you (ft. Hall & Oates and Ne-Yo)

Made with Logic Pro at 113 bpm A quick clip from the last mix , and one of my favorite transitions in it. Kind of alluring, mysterious; maybe we can make a more fully realized remix/mashup someday. If you're wondering what the image is in the background at the start of the video, those are quahogs and a channeled whelk I dug out of the sand in low tide on a recent beach trip. Pretty solid haul, and good eating for sure. Although I probably should've kept them separate - apparently whelks like to eat the clams .
