I saw this song on tumblr, and I fell in love instantly, then rushed to download it, and I am now listening to it. It combines the soundtrack of Zelda and classic hip-hop/rap songs. Just enjoy: Slim Thug & Mike Jones - Still Tippin' (Great Fairy's Fountain) Download the full album HERE , along with other work from Team Teamwork and their pro-'for-the-music-and-not-the -money' site.

Children of the '80s tend to carry a torch for classic game systems, even those of us (like me) who didn't play. Just because I never got past the first level in Super Mario Brothers doesn't mean I don't have fond memories of watching friends play or hearing the MIDI music emanate from my brother's Game Boy. If you're a fan of both classic games and rap, then Team Teamwork has an album for you. Super Nintendo Sega Genesis is no misnomer for a mash-up album that combines rap with the [...]
As video game music has become more mainstream, or at least more popular thanks to outlets like OverClocked Remix , I think it's safe to say that, as a genre, geek beat is closer to hip-hop than anything else - and that's before cats like Dan the Automator started doing full soundtracks. Whereas a lot of critics loathe the simplicity in gamer funk, I've always dug them. In particular, two dope bit-inspired cuts that come to mind are Big Shug and Statik Selektah's " Punch-Out ," and U-N-I's " Castlevania ". [...]

For the debut post of TWENTY11, I thought I would bring out a new podcast highlighting some songs by some of my favourite acts of the last year that you'd hopefully not heard. I've got Male Bonding, Dum Dum Girls and Beach Fossils heading up the Lo-Fi front, Big Boi and Team Teamwork with some hip-hop and Washed Out, Beat Connection and jj for some chill time. There's a Sex Bob-Omb song (yes, from the Scott Pilgrim movie) and Algodon Egipcio's brilliant cover of Male Bonding's "Weird Feelings" - check it out now, iTunes link and a couple of individual [...]
In a developing habit of list-making, here's my top 40 songs released this fine and plentiful year. Think of it as some kind of alternative Top of the Pops. Enjoy. 40. Best Coast, Wavves - Got Something For You 39. Rolo Tomassi - Party Wounds 38. Anamanaguchi - Another Winter 37. OFF! - Upside Down 36. Toro Y Moi - Blessa 35. Everything Everything - Schoolin' [...]
I like rap. I like Zelda. However, though these two distinct concepts have met before, it would suffice to say that the result was not at all satisfactory. This is where Ocarina of Rhyme comes in. (Geddit? Because there's a Zelda game called Ocarina of Time? And rap features rhymed verse? So by calling it 'Ocarina of Rhyme' it features elements of both Zelda and rap, to show that the album features both of them!) The album, by Team Teamwork , features tracks from [...]

If you haven't heard his two game-centric mixtapes, Vinyl Fantasy 7 or Ocarina of Rhyme, Team Teamwork , you are in for a treat here. Fusing the original soundtracks from illustrious games with the illest hip hop samples, Team Teamwork has created something unforgettable and for people like me and Lewi, being both intense lovers of music and video games it's almost a dream come true. I recently interviewed the man behind the moniker, Tim Jacques, about his influences, his game choices and what he's got in store for us in the future. The [...]
A sit-down with DJ duo The Hood Internet in South Korea brought up topics like traveling, real-life occupations, and Korean alcohol. Their music, which is renowned for its hybrid of indie-rock and hip-hop, has been critically acclaimed for the loose, party atmosphere it provides, which is precisely what Daegu's Club Urban was treated to a few weeks ago.
Anyone who knows me is aware of the face that i am a complete nork (nerd+dork). I can tell you Cal Ripken Jr.'s on-base percentage and RBI total in 1991 (.374 and 114, if you're wondering). I played eight seasons of Dynasty mode in NCAA Football 2009 (EIGHT! 8!). I have played every single Final Fantasy game dating back to FF3 on my Super Nintendo. You get the picture. So imagine my excitement when I stumbled across Team Teamwork a few months back. The RPG-mashup artist who has created the nork's wet dream; mixtapes splicing legendary [...]
The best game soundtrack of all time deserves more love. Love you, Uematsu. Check out the whole mix from the Youtube links above, or from Team Teamwork's tumblr . Children of the 90s, there's a Ocarina Of Time set of mixes, too. MP3: MF Doom - Air (Barrett's Theme)
This came out a few days ago and it's pretty dope. Team Teamwork took rap/hiphop accapellas and remixed them with the Nobuo Uematsu composed music from the classic PlayStation RPG, Final Fantasy VII . I love this shit. The album is available for free (or a donation of an amount to your choosing) from Team Teamwork's BandCamp page . Download: Team Teamwork - Vinyl Fantasy 7 - http://teamteamwork.bandcamp.c om/album/vinyl-fantasy-7 Listen: Gucci Mane - Stoopid (Costa [...]
Fact: There are crappy remixes all over the place. Fact: Nintendocore is not a legitimate type of music. Fact: Zelda was a pretty epic game. Fact: These remixes are not crappy.

I'd say that half of the music I like is pure, decadent electro that doesn't really require much thought. The other half is music that tells a story, and that's why I like this track from Oddioblender . Give it a listen and let the story play out. Oddioblender - Psychics Don't Need Hooks After listening to it, I totally started remember Psycho Mantis from Metal Gear Solid. Remember how he read your memory card, and the only way to beat him was to unplug [...]
Alert: This group needs your attention. Team Teamwork are mashup artists that are easily leagues better than the mashup crap on Hypem that somehow finds its way to the Popular list. Their sound is way too polished for it to go unnoticed. A few of my favorites… Lil Wayne & Birdman ft. Okkervil River - Stuntin' Like My Daddy.mp3 T.I. ft. Sigur Ros - Big Shit Poppin'.mp3 Outkast & Killer Mike ft. DatA - The Whole World.mp3 Kanye West [...]
I seriously wonder about Team Teamwork. I lol'd when I heard their Ocarina of Rhyme remixes, but now I'm taking them more seriously. They've got a new, free album of remixes out that feature some of the weirdest hip hop/indie pop juxtapositions ever to exist. A mind that sees potential in mixing Lil Wayne with Okkervil River is a mind worth watching. Head over to this page to download, donate, and dance: Download Link: The Good-ass Remixes: Vol. 1 For more on Team Teamwork, [...]
It's time to just dork out, and it doesn't get much dorkier than rap remixes backed up by beats loaded with samples of music from Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time . It's an entire mixtape of rap dubs and Zelda beats pulled together by one of the Internet's newest remix troupes: Team Teamwork. They've also got mashes of Okkervil River / Lil Wayne and Drug Rug / Gucci Mane under their belts, which my even make guys like Girl Talk do a double-take. Team Teamwork has a regular string of remixes going [...]
We live in the era of the mash up. From Jay-Z and the Beatles to Girl Talk, the spectrum of mash-up creativity seems ever-expanding. Apparently it is. Team Teamwork brings us The Ocarina of Rhyme - a mash up of hip hop lyrics and tunes from the paramount video game, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Awesome. Download : The Ocarina of Rhyme I recommend Slim Thug & Mike Jones - Still [...]
