0085 Nelly – EI @ 1:15

Sunday, July 11th, 2010

“undulay undulay Mama EI EI uh ohhhhhhh!!!!  what’s poppan’n now”

I love the quote above, but the best part has to be when he says, “If they head right, Nelly there e’ry night”

Translation: If she’s smart, comes from a good family, and has her head on straight, Nelly will be over at her house e’ry night.

EI 1:15 – 1:37

0082 Outkast – So Fresh So Clean @ 2:53

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

Outkast Stankonia

“we are the coolest motherfunkers on the planet, and my my…”

Part 2 of the Outkast Stankonia Trifecta.

I have seen them play this live, and it was killer. Yessir.

I always remember when my buddy Jono told me how much he liked this song back when it came out. He wasn’t the biggest hip hop guy, so I thought he liked it because of the fact that he liked to stay so clean. Literally, he took at least 2 showers a day, and was always running late because of wanting to take a shower.

He’d always be singing along to it wherever we were, and I’d be like…yeah you are, you smell like Zest dawg!

So fresh so clean 2:53 – 3:15

0081 Outkast – Bombs over Baghdad @ 1:46

Saturday, June 19th, 2010

“Ha, Yeah!”

Part 1 of an Outkast Stankonia trifecta.

Check out the drums and synth on this part, and Big Boi going a mile a minute. Crazy. Dope album and that’s why we’re doing 2 more on Stankonia. This album is the pre-cursor to their Grammy award winning album of the year Speakerboxxx/The Love Below. You can hear the ascendancy.

Bombs over Baghdad 1:46 – 2:17

0077 Flying Lotus – And the world laughs with you (feat. Thom Yorke) @ 2:27

Monday, May 17th, 2010

flying_lotus-cosmogramma

“…good to know you’re there somewhere”

Another new school track for ya. Lotus’ last album Los Angeles was gonna be tough to top, but he came at it in a diff. way. His great-aunt is Alice Coltane, who in addition to being an amazing pianist and harpist, was John Coltrane’s wife. Flylo has music waaaaayyyyy deep in there, and the same way his Great Aunt used to summon the stars of the universe with Pharaoh and the gang, Flylo has taken flight with this album as well. This one is for the history books – to capture his sound in full (an audio hieroglyph), and place it up in the stars with his ancestors.

Thom Yorke is on this track, he knows.

Buy the album

0069 Lil Wayne – I Feel Like Dying @ 2:42

Friday, March 5th, 2010

“I have just boarded a plane without a pilot..”

Wayne is off to jail this week so I took a look through some of his old material. This one never got released, and it’s a heady track. The sample as is is pretty twisted, so he must have started there, but he takes it to a hazy drugged out dreamland.

Violets are blue
roses are red
daisies are yellow
the flowers are dead

He’s right in the pocket flow wise too… this is the type of track you don’t hear too often. Take a listen.

I feel like dying
