Get it Before it's Out!!! Diddy Dirty Money

Seems That Train To Paris is Finally Pulling In.......

You know I always get that new hotness before the stores do.

Diddy Dirty Money: Last Train to Paris (Deluxe Edition)

Now On the real I gotta say, Diddy and them girls really did their thing. being a T-Dot I'm predisposed to being a bit of hater, just waiting to go screwface on someone. But the majority of the time while listening to this album, my jaw was kind of on the floor. I mean it's Diddy so you can find a bunch of things you wanna say bad about it. BUT,  the production quality is on ppoint, so they deserve full marks for that. It's not just another pop album that sounds exactly like all the other ones. It's got this ecclectic mix of tracks, beats and vibes that are are very past, present and future. There is definitley somewhat of a early to mid 90s  hip-hop vibe that makes me miss the days when De La Soul, The Pharcyde, A Tribe Called Quest and Arrested Development. Touching  on old school R&B, Jazz and Blues flows with track "Hate You Now" and "Some One to Love Me" that blend well with lyrics like " 

When You aint got dough you scratch and you crawl, in yo state of mind, you want somethin', ay you want it all. Look at the sky, wonder when its gon' fall. Cry in the rain so the pain is stalled its too dark, my world is in doom, just cold, my soul howls at the moon".

When that line hits you are taken back cuz Diddy is not the Best rapper alive by any means so it throws you off. You sittin their wonder 'aight, who this dude paying to ghost right his tracks, cuz I sure as hell didn't expect him to go off on Coming Home the way he did until I saw who co-wrote the song. 

 
In anycase Didy is still being Diddy and banking on what's trendy by doing what a few out of the East Coast and MidWest are Doing by blending 90s New York scene hip-hop and dance beats and making them work with contempory flows The few people I think are doing it right are Kanye with his New track with La Roux "That's My Bitch" for JAY-Z's Watch The Throne Nina Sky. And of course the amount of Auto-Tune and 808s  kinda hurts my ears a bit so he loses a few points. And when this dude actually tries to sing....dude I was in tears because of how painful it was to sit through. So if you were to buy it tomorrow or now because iTunes and Amazon got as we speak (avoid the track change on the deluxe edition) recognize that this album is a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars. I was reallytryin to find more wrong with it but, had some trouble. Please if you got issues wit dis album DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT BE AFRAID TO SAY IT!!!

Hittin you wit that Can't Stop Won't Stop!!!

And as a bonus gift I got their new Music Video that debuts today. This track is easily one of my favourites on the album

Last Train to Paris Prelude

A little taster to tide you over til Tuesday

Tron Legacy OST

This thing is fire. I had it for about a month and a half but decided to wait til oit got closer to the release date.
Daft Punk brings it, despite haviing to scrap the original score as per Disney's request. Reportedly Disney felt it was too much like a French House album and it would lose its affect on North American viewers and they wanted it to have more of a techno/orchestral score cuz it is amovie after all and gave them about 3 months to do it over again (this is just a report). In anycase I hope you enjoy

My Songs of the Moment

Despite how much I have been playing Kanye's and Eminem and Drake and tinie tempah's tracks...This has to be the track I have to be feeling the most right now might the following

J. Cole-Blow Up


Daft Punk-Derezzed
This isn't the music video, just visuals from the trailer


Drake-I get lonely too.
Despite the fact that this song is probably about his infatuation with strippers and or "call girls" the beat is tight


Kid Cudi-Mr. Rager


And finally, Chromeo-Hot Mess
Granted it's not as good as their two previous singless, but it's infectious

Chromeo - "Hot Mess" from Paradoxal Inc on Vimeo.

Just gotta let you know, that's what I'm feeling right now as my songs of the moment

Beginning of an end..........

OK, first things first, in the coming days I can also be found on the great canadian site Lion's Den University. It's an oppurtunity that I really can't pass up. I will not be leaving Once Upon a Beat right away, but I will be posting here less, much less. When life gives you lemon...


Alright enough of the mushy stuff let's get down to business
First on the docket is the pre-release of the most anticipated album of the last six months. I say six months, cuz everyone was waiting on Drake for a full year, Eminem same deal. Kanye had re-build that hype and boy did he ever. Ask any hip hop head around and they will tell you that with the creation of "Good Fridays", This guy has single handedly breathed life and creativity back into Hip-Hop after the luke warm showing it was putting forth and is put it at the top of the list when it comes to popularly discussed music with everyone anticipating what he and his G.O.O.D Music soilders. If this were sports, G.O.O.D. music would be the team to beat in any conference and or division. Time to Get Out Our Dreams with Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

 This ALBUM IS BANANAS. I KNOW EVERYONE HAS HEARD PRETTY MUCH EVERY TRACK ON IT BUT DAMN!?!?!?!?!
This is a Pre-Release

Next on the dockett is the Debut release from the Dj Trio that are taking the club scene by storm (quite frankly they have been for years but now it's just crazy).
This is a Pre-Release as well. This album is also extremly long. Like 24 tracks long. NO Joke, it literally maxed out the spaace I had on the soundcloud account Oh and P.S. no download on this one, I been getting warnings about some of my tracks so just to be on the safe side any one who wants can gimme there contact info so that I can send them the link
Swedish House Mafia-Until One
   Until One by Brotha_Dahrkness

In lue of the DVD release we decide to hit you up with some of the Music from it. Here is the Official Soundtrack to this epic movie starring Michael Cera. Everyone  I asked talked bout how much they loved the tracks, so I figured, why not.

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World OST


Alright, that's enough for tonight.

It's been real

And with a tip of my hat, I fade into the back..........................
