YO I JUST KEEP COMIN WIT IT
Yo Sorry If I'm flooding this site with stuff but I'm makin up for lost time.
First on the docket are three track from LLOYD
The first one is somethin you might not believe, this dude sampled Milli Vaniili, MILLI VANILLI!!!!! this track is called Forever and it has that fresh spring/summer feel to it (like most his tracks)
ON TO THE NEXT ONE ON TO THE NEXT ONE On To The Next One on to the next one is one I just found while tryin to find the new track, I Can Be More it dropped late March.
Finally on the docket are the track from LLOYD ft. J. Holiday, I swear these guys might need to become a duo, cuz this shit sounds so tight, the first one is one I posted in like November, Take it Off, only this time I found a newer version wit tha 'princess' of hip-hop Nicki Minaj. I think this track is cookin with gas (it just catches fire instantly).
Speakin of Nicki Minaj, here is her new video ft. Sean Garrett: Massive Attack, all I can say is her body is on prime display in this one and that ass is foiine whether its fake or not
Moving on, on the y'all what a difference a year makes, it feels like Justin Bieber has gone from like 12-16 in like a year and the second biggest star next to Lady Gaga of the last year as well. Normally I wouldn't even post anything like this (we would leave it to Ahmed), but when I saw who produced and compsed this song
Never Let You Go is co-written and produced by Johnta Austin and Bryan Michael Cox, these guys are so dope. You can totally hear the R&B influence in this track.
I got more stuff, but I'll save it for another day.
and with the tip of my hat, I fade in to the back...

Brief intermission from exams
Someone please tell me that they remember this song.
This is a way back playback from De La Soul. I know a few of you might not be too familiar with these guys, but they are quintessential 90s hip-hop. I swear, I have been listening to this song everyday for the last 2 months at least, great video of a great song from a great album from great artists and I felt I should share it with you. De La Soul: Me, Myself and I

Here is something i remembered when i was looking for the music video
I couldn't find th exact scene from Good Burger, but this was pretty close. Such a jokes movie! I think that Good Burger was one of those movies that makes perfect sense during the time period, but anyone who watches it after or has no idea about the period doesn't get it sort of like Top Gun or The Big Lebowski.
Moving on, there's this song I've had in my head for a while and the more I listen the more i LIKE it. This guys name is Captain Hooks he's from Toronto and it's takin Canadian Hip-hop in a completely different direction here is his track Don't Stop and on a side note, something tells me Ahmed's prolly heard bout this guy. Truth be told, I heard this along with a bunch of other tracks back in November but because of how little airplay it saw I forgot about it until January. Basically, just another example of the American market devouring ours.
This last thing I stumbled upon and couldn't stop laughing after he said let's go get a lolipop and so remember this is Bieber's world, your just living in it. O yeah, you also need to see the skit Justin Bieber Screensaver

JANELLE MONAE!
You've seen indie bands do the Wes Anderson look for their videos, but have you seen R&B acts? Well I haven't. Big yellow letters, symmetrical framing, esoteric knick-knacks. J'accuse Janelle Monae (but I forgive you. You make it work with those mirror men and Audrey Hepburn meets James Brown dancing).

I'm wastin time right now
Yo, I hate myself right now, I'm supposed to be finishing a take-home exam right now and I'm fuckin killing time. But I figure I'd do something that got my creative juices flowing so it could help me with the exam.
IN ANY CASE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I found this track some time near the beginning of the month and liked it, when I downloaded the track I got tired of it in a matter of days. This can only mean my real attraction was to the video, This is Michou: Growing Younger
The next one is so fuckin tough to explain, it sounds like a track from the 60s or 70s from a guy who in the 90s was part of this alternative rap group, that got signed to a label from the 80s released one album that no one has heard of at the beginning of the 2000s and some how has the most saught after song of the moment which ironically enough he decided not to put on the album that he released. Some one heard it and decided to make it the theme song for the new HBO seriesfeaturing a rapper who is makin it big in the late 2000s, the show is called; How To Make it In America.
P.S. This dude might have the craziest name I've ever heard, I'm pretty sure it's not reeal, but if it is, that t jokes. Here's ALOE BLACC-I NEED A DOLLAR
and with a tip of my hat, I fade into the back..............

Opps
Thought today was Tuesday no helping it sucks when u work nights all your days get confused. On with the regular post.
This first video is by Adionia - Buss Gun Charge its on the new genesis riddim this one here was a special request. I'm really starting to like this riddim thought it was too slow at first but its ill still. Other tracks to check on the riddim inculde Mavado - Still Stand Up, Assassin - The Father, Bugle - Don't Judge Me & Charley Black - Dem Only Can Talk, there are other tracks but these ones I really like.
The next rack is more on the conscious side of things from Tarrus Riley latest CD release. 99% of the tracks on this CD is excelllent its not one of those filler CD's that seem to be dropping in main stream R&B lately just to keep an artists name at the forefront. So if you looking for some reflective listening look no further
