Fooled Again: Two Year Old Led Zep-Notorious B.I.G. Mashup Gets Media Hot

On Friday Rolling Stone posted about “Ramblize,” a mashup of Zed Zeppelin’s “Ramble On” and Notorious B.I.G.’s “Hypnotize,” which Jimmy Page featured on his members-only website, jimmypage.com that same day.

A bunch of other music sites have been posting about the mashup too.

Only it turns out “Ramblize” is old news. Very old news.

Like two-and-a-half years old news.

“Ramblize” was uploaded to YouTube on May 11, 2011. Check it out.

Then again, I guess it’s news that Page himself digs the track enough to have featured it on his website.
