Colorado native Riley Keating a.k.a R3K has created an unbelievable mashup called “Falling Star”. He replaces Dan Black’s vocals from “Symphonies” with verses from Florence and The Machine’s “Cosmic Love”, and it is flawless. “Symphonies” was one of Kudi’s biggest tracks, and this version may even be better.

Featuring the famous rant of Christian Bale on set, Kid Cudi and Chip Tha Ripper team up and lay some rhymes over LCD Soundsystem’s ‘Dance Yrself Clean’ from his latest album ‘This is Happening‘. Kid Cudi’s consistency in the quality of his work when he samples other artists never ceases to amaze me. While I do not think Christian Bale is THAT big off a jerk, this track is definitely hot.
