this week’s TbTotW. this song represents my 7th grade, which hold a great many amazing memories. (i’d venture to say that in 7th grade there are only a handful of amazing things for a little kid so do your own postulating) this is one song that i’m definitely disappointed that i’ve never found an instrumental or an acapella for – usually when i can’t find one for a song, i’ll shrug it off and let it go, but this song’s beat is so ill – i wanna reuse it on something else. (also lol just got to the part where he tried to catch the shoes in slow motion and he totally fails at it.. WTG LL COOL J) other songs that i really want an aca/instru of: ex-factor*, rain, like you, and im sure there are others.. but these come quickest to mind. but yeah. loungin is the shit.
+ insightful article regarding nba as of late and its sometimes-lethargic-sometimes-not officiating. it’s long but worth it, tws.
+ in an earlier post i talked about (my most favoritestest song in the whole world) remind me by patrice rushen, and tried to document songs that have sampled it. i came up with:
q-tip – life is better
faith evans – fallin’ in love
mokenstef – he’s mine remix
i’ve since found two more, randomly – we can thank dj itunes shuffle for such gems:
junior mafia f. aaliyah, lil kim – i need you tonight
de la soul – eye know (the kiss mix)
and a pretty sweet jazz cover of it by some japanese artist, izanami. (which i played on my evr show – don’t sleep!) i’ll stay alert at all times for more of this timeless rushen sample.
+ WHOA. dj shuffle killin it again, and in a very prescient manner. landed on another rushen song that is sampled off of another old school westcoast track that i been diggin lately. def TbTotW worthy. fuck it, two embeds in one post.
original to this is patrice rushen – settle for my love. dj shuffle doin it fuckin godzilla big lately, so real.
* a footnote on the ex-factor instrumental, because i’ve bought two different ex-factor cd singles, one a uk release i think? with no luck at all! where the hell is this instrumental on!! i know it exists too, i just.. can’t.. find… it….
