SUNDAY VIBES

YOU KNOW IM WORKING ON IT

I've bumped this song a good 20 times today. Dwele is a smooth motherf*cker, I remember when I went to see him at the Jazz cafe, girls in the venue were loosing their minds. The girl I was with was definitely much more into Dwele than me. Anyway, this track is a nice little Dilla medley and it bangs nicely. Dwele is a very talented musician, he's one of those genius Stevie Wonder types who can sing as well as play every instrument. I think Dwele directed this video aswell, if so he killed it.

RHODES & MOOG LIGHT PAINT

In the Pocket (Rhodes and Moog Light Paint) from Ethan Goldhammer on Vimeo.

Extreme LFO sightings in Rhodes Island. Original music by Ethan Goldhammer and S. Burke. Time Lapse footage shot in August 2009.

This is a beautiful song containing dope synths and Rhodes piano. Kick back to this one.

BAD MEANING GOOD

This documentary was made in 1987,a year before I was born! It features Tim Westwood & Trevor Nelson looking young and the all the original UK Hip Hop pioneers such as Cookie Crew and Bionic from London Posse. What is interesting is that all early UK emcees rapped in American accents. Although Bionic form London Posse did not, he rapped in his real cockney accent, which is very fly, go 23.00 minutes into the doc to see Bionic spitting hot fire! The doc also features a bit of early UK graf.

POSITIVITY HITTING 50 LEVELS DEEP/COMING OUT THE WOOFERS IN MY JEEP

Masta Ace, Inc - 'Born To Roll" from the 1995 LP 'Slaughtahouse'

This video is also directed by Masta Ace.

This track is the ultimate driving banger. When it comes on it makes me want to dance in a fairly outrageous fashion.

"BLACK BOY, BLACK BOY TURN THAT SH*T DOWN/

YOU KNOW THAT AMERICA DON'T WANT TO HEAR THE SOUND/

OF THE BASS DRUM JUNGLE MUSIC GO BACK TO AFRICA/

N*GGA I'LL ARREST YOU IF YOU'RE HOLDING UP TRAFFIC"

BIG L REST IN PEACE

WHEN I WAS TWELVE I WENT TO HELL FOR SNUFFING JESUS/I'M AIMING AUTOMATIC GUNS AT NUNS

I GOT THE LOOKS THAT MAKE YOUR HOTTY STARE/

I KEPP A SHOTTY NEAR

IT'S THAT N*GGA WITH NOTTY HAIR WHO GOTTY FEAR

Big L is considered one of the premier lyricists of the 90's. He developed his style in the groove of Lord Finesse from DITC but went on to develop a multisyllable, fast paced punchline style of his own which quite franly sh*t on most other rappers. Unfortunately he was slain in 1999, the above trailer is for an impending documentary about his life & career. It looks pretty DOPE.

IT DON'T TAKE PSYCOLOGY TO SEE THE DICHOTOMY IN ME

Saafir - 'Light Sleeper' from the album entitled BoxCar Sessions released in 1994 (Qwest Records).

Oakland, West Coast Sunshine Boom Bap. The song is very relaxing with an important message to stay awake! Saafir's rhyme style is very fly and he gets very deep with his subject matter, this is hip hop at it's most powerful + brilliant. PCE
