Archive for November 2007
i’ve been listening to a lot of 90s hiphop. life after death, all eyez on me, e.1999, pete rock, big daddy kane, et al- and there were some real good gems back in the day. been really surprised with the main source cd and the camp lo cd. i hate to be ‘that dude’ who has no respect for whats goin on now and is clingy and conservative with the past, but yo. give me examples of some real lyrical storytelling happening now and i’ll gladly play it out.
been itching to start making beats.
october mix (oh wait it’s november)
the john legend remix i done did
a good deal
unbelievably amazing architecture images from korea. reminds me of this one photographer who did the same thing with hong kong skyrises, very hypnotizing.
this one has been sittin on the myspace for a MINUTE. it’s just laziness that i hadn’t put it up here sooner. like my friend virginia says, this was like two really favorite songs put together into one new favorite song. however i can’t really trump on john legend’s piano skill.. dance tonight was and still is goodie good. lucy pearl was really ahead of their time. the album is still fully listenable. i miss raphael saadiq like that. yes there is an issue where the song gets all non-trebly around 1:40. apologies.
john legend - ordinary people(siik remix)
calque
this mix is more upbeat with some latin influences. i’ve always enjoyed diverse music at 120bpm that *isn’t* bumping techno/electro. the first song’s guitar really makes me want to learn how to salsa, merengue, mambo, whateva. nevermind all that ‘modern’ business. it’s good and all, but i think in the long run knowing how to cha cha will get you places.
