Top drummer and producer Travis Barker has teamed with G-Unit deejay/radio personality DJ Whoo Kid for Let The Drummer Get Wicked, a mixtape leading up to Barker’s March 15 solo debut, Give The Drummer Some. The mixtape will feature Barker updating recent Internet hits by the likes of Lupe Fiasco, Pusha T, Wiz Khalifa and J. Cole.
Production for the February 21 project will be handled by Whoo Kid, with beats by Dr. Dre, Pharrell and Havoc of Mobb Deep fame. The work will premiere on Whoo Kid’s RadioPlanet.TV website.
“I wanted to keep the records on Let the Drummer Get Wicked original,” Whoo Kid says of the concept. “I reached out to the artists to get all new joints from them, and worked with Travis from there to do an exclusive mixtape for the artists’ respective fan bases.”
Last month, Whoo Kid made the Top 200 of the charts, for his digital release of Bad Season, a collaboration with Tech N9ne.
Am I the only one who doesn’t give a fuck about Travis Barker? I have no idea why hip hop artists want to work with him, super complex drum work has a very limited role in hip hop, a niche market perfectly filled by The Roots. Leave the drumming for punk, man, I don’t want to hear your crap, let alone see you on stage with my favorite artists.
This is possibly the dumbest comment ever made on a music website.
travis barker is the most over rated drummer in the world,
maybes its cause hes tatted up and looks like hes a punk or a gangster but he makes music for 15 year old emos
i for one do not want to hear hip hop songs with shitty rock drumming over the beat but thats just me
travis barker is one of the most talented drummers ever, that includes all the classic rock drummers.. get a fuckin clue before u start makin stupid ass remarks
actually he really isn’t. you obviously dont know rock music, there are way better drummers out there. I want you to compare travis barker to a drummer who is actually extra-ordinary, danny carey for instance, and get back to me. and the fact that you would compare him to “classic drummers”, im assuming referring to those such as John Bonham or Neal Peart, is simply laughable.
cmon even blink fanboys know this..
firstly how many of those drummers have three bands a solo succesful tour and now a solo cd? i’ll wait. secondly i love Travis Barker. he survived two of the worse things in his lifetime, a plane crash, and Blink-182. they say hes the greatest cuz he does all kinds of shit with his drums. hence the now rap/hip-hop cd. Travis may be the greatest. but honestly, how do you tell? you cant really compare. theres always different styles tones and preference. so maybe hes not the greatest or he is. either way give a nigga his props
Whoo Kid kinda wack but T.B. doin drums should be dope…That “Can the Drummer get some” off Game’s mixtape is fire
T.B. should’ve gotten with DJ Drama for his mixtape…fuck Whoo Kid…On the strenght of T.B. I’ll listen to it when he drops it.
who gives a fuck which dj is screaming all over the songs,
im actually pretty sick of hearing dramas voice
niceee

I heard a hip hop act called Kontraband Musik who just signed with a independent label sent their demo to Travis’s manager like six months ago with a song called Let The Drummer Get Wicked. They were told Travis wasn’t feelin their style but then a month later announced his mixtape was called Let The Drummer Get Wicked. LOL If thats true, thats pretty weak.
