Diddy ride: Noun. A masturbatory act involving the rubbing of the penis between a woman's breasts. Also diddyride. [N.Irish use]

Yes he did.

DJ Shadow invented sampling, too.

Fuck me Brainwasher, you have discovered the aporia at the centre of the musical universe and from now on every record produced will be a blazing nova of Helium-fissioning novelty, leading to a realignment of economic relationships that will render poverty and alienation obsolete. Congratulations. Please accept this James album as a reward from a greatful planet.

So who invented the remix?

― Some Guy, Wednesday, 31 August 2005 23:37 (twenty years ago)

Tubby (formerly known as K Tubby).

― walter kranz (walterkranz), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 23:44 (twenty years ago)

Or maybe Terry Riley.

Ezra Muthafuckin' Pound.

But he admitted he got the questions wrong.

You know how some things really piss you off and you feel like a totally non-iconic, bargain-basement version of Don Quixote, gettin' all mad an' shit about shit nobody cares about, sorta just spoilin' for an argument about it even though if one actually broke out your only hole-card would be "ooh I fuckin' hate that shit" which, player, is not much of a hole card? Yeah, well, that was me and We Invented the Remix. I can picture the cover of the album in my mind. It pisses me off.

maybe James Tenney in 61 ('study no. 1 blue suede')

maybe Cage in 42. ('credo in US')

maybe Hindemith, Grainger & Milhaud in the 20's.

maybe.

Yes, with his many variations of the diddley-beat, Bo Diddley certainly invented the remix.

perfect. lock thread.

"Diddy didn't invent the remix, so much as re-invent it!"

The Big Bang was a remix, maaaaaan.

― gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Thursday, 1 September 2005 03:59 (twenty years ago)

it's plausible. Shit, Jay-Z is inventing this thing called grime. Damned mastermindz!

― Myonga Von Bontee (Myonga Von Bontee), Thursday, 1 September 2005 04:26 (twenty years ago)

maybe by "we" he just meant the human race.

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 1 September 2005 04:28 (twenty years ago)

"I'll Be Watching You" --> "I'll Be Missing You" + Diddy mo' time mo' machine = inventing the remix.

― marc h. (marc h.), Thursday, 1 September 2005 05:02 (twenty years ago)

Yes, with his many variations of the diddley-beat, Bo Diddley certainly invented the remix.

Surely that means he invented the reggae riddim?
