rock the boat was such a sexy video. it was directed by hype williams and filmed in the bahamas, in the abaco islands. that place looks amazing. im sure there was a lot of post/touching up to the footage, but the water looks so blue, sky so clear, clouds so epic. i must visit this place some time in life. and i miss aaliyah, a whole lot. my favorite aaliyah songs would have to be at your best, rock the boat, four page letter, if your girl only knew. beat is common’s be – yes it’s short, but it’s short and sweet.

edit:
aaliyah’s birthday is january sixteen. she would be thirty. caps has uploaded his aaliyah mix for today. also happy birthday duder.

ahhh the one yall been waiting for. during some stints of procrastination at school in the labs, i whipped this one up. i never even knew about the original until after the fact, and after that snl skit with jt doing the dance in heels (real good). the original isn’t even that cool, plus the breakdown part is really really ugly to listen to. however, the video to the song is mesmerizing. her hips like whoa. the choreo like whoa. the fact that she can keep up with her backup dancers, like whoa. i’m gonna learn that dance. but not like that one gay dude who does it all pro. the beat is talibs.

+ also, i did a version for benzi too, but it’s different from this one.

mmm more brandy. this was the reason i stole my aunts waiting to exhale soundtrack. i was just watching the video and turk is hella in that video! getting down with brandy! real neat. i heard on tv that she’s coming out with a new album?? eh though, i can’t even remember anything past her first cd really. the beat is from a ghostface song, featuring carl thomas.

• brandy – sittin up in my room (siik remix)

i’ve given the new kanye cd a bit of a listen, maybe two tracks, but i could not get down with it. i really enjoyed his first and third album, his second was okay, but this new one is way too away from the usual. plus dude is getting very megalomaniacal with his persona. i did enjoy good life, and yes, being hypocritical again by saying i dont like t-pain yet his vocals make this track more fun to remix. i’m also all about the teenage love affair beat. and alicia keys.

• kanye west – good life (siik remix)

i wrote earlier about a dj jazzy jeff mixtape that i’d been enjoying a lot. one of the sicker moments was when he dropped i wish outta nowhere. how fitting, then, to put i wish on a jazzy jeff beat. that cd of his has been full of gems ive been using lately. the original carl thomas song also is one of those songs that makes me want to learn piano.

• carl thomas – i wish (siik remix)

i’d be lying if i said i liked t-pain, at all. i don’t really like any of his songs or any songs he’s been on (actually wait.. good life is pretty sweet but probably because of the pyt sample) and i think the auto-tune style is really lame and overdone. however. i really dig the instrumental to the original can’t believe it. it’s really like.. ethereal and simple and dreamy. since i had the aca too i was just testing it on a few different things, and serendipitously found that it was perfect on 9th wonder. actually, that’s how most of my blends are to be honest. no weezy because i’m still on weezy overload. dude’s annoying.

also it’s *finally* come to my attention (and probably to the disdain of many ipod/itunes users) that all my mp3s have no albumart, and it looks ghetto on your ipod/itouch/iphone/wtfever. i’m sorry. however i’m trying to remedy that right now. i made a super simple generic one with a few diff colorways that you guys can go ahead and add to your own shit if you’re so inclined. i’ll be making more albumarts as the months come along. as for me though. ALL my mp3s aint got any albumart and i’ll be damned if i’m gonna start.

also also, you might have noticed there’s no more full listing of all my blends. it was annoying to update, was super unorganized and daunting to look at. if you are looking for a certain remix, use the search bar on top. it’s pretty good at it.
