New Year, New/Old Stuff

Another quarter of School means another quarter of grinding, same BS different year. Here's some stuff that I thought was some of the best music I heard last year, and some stuff people should listen to if they didn't get the chance already.

I love Big Pooh's Album Sleepers, and not to sound cheesy, or rather stupid, but people actually Slept on this album, and most people don't even know RBP (Rapper Big Pooh) has an LP. Just for Pooh's sake,

One of my favorite songs of 2010 didn't even make this guy's most hyped album, and yet it was considered (at least by me) to be his best, and most meaningful song to date.

When you dig into something...

So this weekend Huey and I went to a nice vinyl store and I have to say whenever you do some crate digging you gotta combine a little bit of good taste, skill and luck to make it a good digging session.

Bill Cosby to the Led Zepplin is all I can say.

I just wanted to say that from my experience you can find what you seek in the most unlikely places.

Leave yall with a little Black and Gold

Quote of the Day:
“Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.”~Dalai Lama
 
I saw Inception recently and just today read the producer - Chris Nolan's take on the whole thing. And he said something interesting that dreams and reality aren't that different, just the restriction of natures laws give you the notion of the impossible. But in an infinite universe of infinite possibilities who knows....



That put me into deep thought....did you know that your heart usually beats around 60-80 bpm when your awake and drops to 10-20 bpm when you sleep.


Lower heart rate > longer life...it also means you breath less 
Tortoises who are the basically the longest living species on Earth breath at a much slower rate some live to be 150 + years but don't take my word for it...

So slow it down n be happy because Currensy X Anime X Jazz = Great success!


I'll leave ya with some jazz to slow that rhythm down so you can enjoy the muzak


Shout out to Creative Control for always doing a great job!

Old School

I know a lot of people have heard of Arrested Development, but your mind probably immediately pictures the television show which is one of my favorites but I'm here to write about the hip hop group from the early 90's  founded by "Speech and Headliner as a positive, Afrocentric alternative to the gangsta rap" .

A classic album no doubt. My favorite song is split between Everyday People - Tenenesse - with a sample from Princes "Alphabet Street."








Def. one of the original leaders in hip hop. Classic. Nuff said. Enjoy and Have a great day.

Gutter Rainbows!!

Gutter Rainbows comes out this coming January, enough said

Everything Jay

After Just Signing with Jay Z's Roc Nation, I think Jay Electronica is ready to release Act II at some point, and he also released two songs within two days.

The first one is the "shiny suit theory" with Jay-Z, and it sounds so good...

P.S. I wouldn't be surprised if this link got taken down, looks for other sites to post the full version

The Second one is him solo, with snippets of John Kennedy

Jay is on point with his stuff like always,

Kanye is making good stuff once again. People should learn that an artist's ego outside of music shouldn't have anything to do with the artists music themselves. Although I dont agree with some of Jay's and Kanye's viewpoints on several things, they still make amazing music, this latest G.O.O.D. music release says so otherwise

New Music

Madlib's Brother Oh No and The Alchemist combine to form gangrene, and since I've been listening to to this song over 10 times, i highly suggest you cop their album that's coming out in 3 days



I'm not sure how the album is overall, but i like this song by Cassidy

A Quick Note - people like to compare how 'great' stuff was back in the day, and as much as I would like music (or at least hip-hop) to return to that 90's sound, there's still plenty of good stuff to find today. However, I found the perfect comparison for both of the respective eras.

I'll let you see this, i'm keeping any opinions to myself on this one

90's



Now...i feel slightly ashamed just even putting this up here



Last Name Ever...First Name Greatest....go figure -_-
