Well Heyyyyy Y'aaalll!
It's been along time since y'all came round these parts. Haven't updated since Halloween got a bit nutty. It takes time to recuperate from these things I suppose. But regardless, puttin' on dat nice nice. I'm gonna post a couple of times today, I've got some oldies and goodies all around.

Clipse (feat Cam'ron) : Popular Demand (Popeyes)
New stuff to look forward to on Clipse's long awaited third album Till The Casket Drops, Clipse's first single off the album, "I'm Good" really really sucked and lacked all the charisma and viciousness that The Brothers Thorton had on their first two albums and that Pharell beat was staler than the Ego Waffles I've had in my fridge since school started. But.....Cam'ron's on this joint which is the collision of Coke Rap titans. Lyrically, it's all there...but Pharell...step your game up. You haven't dropped something ill since 2000. I hope Casket's more Cuban Linx II, than Blueprint III. We'll see.

T.I./Sigur Ros: Big Shit Poppin'
M83/Lil' Wayne/Kanye West: Lollipop (Remix of the Remix)
These two songs come from the excellent Good-Ass Remixes Vol. 1, Team Teamwork does a great job properly handling these mash-ups. Seamless, smooth, and fun. I feel like the backing loop of Sigur Ros does a great job showcasing T.I.'s sick wordplay, which impresses me more and more with every listen, far more than the original beat does. Epic.
Lollipop....where to even begin. This song is so sick. Kanye's verse alone is so witty and impressive that if he had a single 808 snare backing him I would run everything. That M83 sample of "We Own The Sky" loop in the background is perfect for that synthed out spaceship vibe.

Miles Davis: Jeru
Time to take you back to Earth folks. So sit back, put on Miles Davis' Birth of the Cool and make yourself a nice cocktail, smoke a cigarette, do whatever it is that you do when you enjoy yourself. "Jeru" is one hell of a song. With Miles combining the fast-paced, high energy bebop with characteristics of Big Band, you have one hell of an album. Listening to this right now, just makes me feel at home and happy. So timeless. So perfect. If you don't like jazz music (and you probably don't), try this out. If you don't listen to this song...lord save you.


Off the record.
On the Q.T.
And very hush-hush.
