The Brits Take Some Inspiration From The Hood Internet

The “crazy cross-genre mashup” slot at last night’s Brit Awards went to a blend of the Ting Tingscover of “Rapture” “Shut Up And Let Me Go” and Estelle’s “American Boy” that segued into everyone performing “That’s Not My Name” together; it worked intermittently, but at least allowed the British soulstress to flash a pretty great jacket. But what’s this? Did the Brits’ producers take their inspiration from the mash-up collective The Hood Internet, who posted their own bootleg of the two tracks back in June? The Hood’s version of the blend is embedded after the jump.

I prefer the Hood’s entrant in this horse race, if only because it has more nuance—not to mention more Kanye, and less Ting Tings. But you may disagree!
