It’s one of those unanswered questions in hip-hop: who invented the remix? One man claims he’s the king of this sh*t, giving us an album in 2002 baring the name, We Invented the Remix, and his work early on in the nineties, make this a solid argument. We called him Puff Daddy back then, and he’s produced and jumped on some of the dopest remixes in rap’s prime. Here are a few Puff Daddy remixes that could still get spins in 2014.
