9th Wonder: Changing The Game    people fully understand how 9th
Wonder changed the game for producers. In 2003,  he created one
of the most fan-friendly trends, remixing entire albums. He took
Nas’ God’s Son and revamped it into God’s Stepson.  Since, a
slew of others have followed suit, with largely favorable
results.   work with his crew Little Brother was a throwback to
the great producers like  Pete Rock or Marley Marl, those
beatmaestros that held down entire albums.  talked with the
28-year-old prodigy that went from Little Brother to Big Jigga
in one summer.  What made you start doing these remixes,
especially the Jay-Z project?   Wonder: They were releasing the
Black Album acapella anyway, and I know nobody  was going to
expect me to do it since I did God’s Stepson. But cats don’t
understand is one of the main reasons I did God’s Step Son was
not only  because it was acapella, but because I really wanted a
chance. When you remixing  somebody’s joint it feels like your
working with that person. Eve
