After the Beyonce Bowl performance we just had to get this out there! The remix of Bootylicious featuring Missy Elliot gets the HDD refix treatment. We love Delly Ranx’s Earth Strong riddim and thought it was the perfect match to the Bootylicious remix vocal. Remember to support the original artists Destiny’s Child and Delly Ranx.

Every week the excellent So Shifty guys will bring you a performance that they deem #unf*ckwithable. You can give them suggestions on twitter just using that hashtag but ultimately they will decide. This week’ edition is from The Beatconductor and their reggae refix of Beyonce’s Crazy in Love.

With Valentine’s Day approaching, we thought we would pay homage to our favourite couple. Here are our top 5 Jay Z and Beyonce collaborations.
Upgrade You
We have had the pleasure of knowing Tomb Crew (in it’s various incarnations) over the past few years. Thanks to their amazing Yo Mama night (which they run with Food Soundsystem) has been the backbone to our london clubbing experience. And even though we have Effect Mode at HDD this Saturday at the Camp, we wanted to shine a light on some of our favourite Tomb Crew releases. Their production credits are deep and incredibly varied so be prepared for a variety of some of their best stuff.
Tomb Crew- Watch This
We have waxed on about this jam many times on the site, it even made our top 20 of last year. The interplay between the Mc’s, that rumbling bass, that light keys… blah blah it’s pretty god damn good.

The video for Beyonce’s Party remix just dropped and we love it at HDD Headquarters. The over-riding feel of the video is that it’s believable, it reminds us of this video of B at a block party.
Here are some other reasons why we love it:
Beyonce cooking up a storm in a teeny tiny trailer in teeny tiny shorts
Solange’s Bogle
Beyonce teaching the party how to Dougie
The Yellowman look-a-like
That Keith Haring dress
It’s nice to see a football shirt in an American hip hop video (shame it’s a Chelsea one)
Beyonce and Kelly taking time out from being the biggest females in the games to have some fun
The only thing that could make this video better is if Andre 3000 was on the verse. Props to J Cole for his Slick Rick references though.
