The People

Louder Louder Louder! comin str8 from the south, finding forever tryna just be after the chocolate! If there was eva such a thing as "song of the year" this is definately my personal choice, I gota give it to my mans Kanyeeze he hooked the fug outa this beat, and yip Finding Foreva even got the Industry nod 3 Gramys for the man's efforts, and may the church say Its about gatdayum time! hopin they wont tryna India Irie him this time. This jawn was actually released as the first single off the album, I dig it coz of the mad energy man, its actually a great tribute to Jaydilla as he used the same sample( "Long Red" by Mountain) for De la Soul 's "Verbal Clap", another sample used was "We Almost Lost Detroit" by Gil Scott-Heron. Dwele does some crazy vocals on here just as if Com's delivery weren't fire enuff, anyways the breakdown at this part here:

" Everyday we hustlin, tryna get them custom rims, Law we ain’t trustin them, thick broads we lust in them
Sick and tired of bunchin it, I look on the bus at them
When I see them struggling, I think how I’m touchin them
The People"

Doomsday

Right back at ya! The soul is back in blogosphere, after my hiatus im comin back stronger than black coffee in the office afta a hectic nite out, ive had the unpleasant experience of loosing my beats and then having to leav all i cud salvage in the slaapcity; but yeah, life's gota go on as it tends to when some get caught licking their wounds. Doomsday a sample ripped off Sade's 'Kiss of Life' is as toite as samples get, infact ive always wondered y Sade neva gets sampled in hiphop coz her beats are always bananas?? this jawn off "Operation: Doomsday" released in 99 was Doom's firtst mainstream br8kthru; i gota say im quite chuffed i got my hands on this classic, yo did i mention, im back?

"So I turned it up faster than a speeding knife
Strong enough to please a wife
Able to drop today's math in the 48 keys of life
Cut the crap far as rap
Touch the mic, get the same thing a Arab will do to you for stealing
What the devil? He's on another level
It's a word! No, a name! MF - the super-villain!"

Good Times

OOOh lawdy a change gon come ideed, Im so chuffed ive had the pleasure of getin hold of some weekend passes for the jazzfest in the slaapcity; so me and Leela gon be sipping on a lil sum sumin by the bar after her show u knw have a good time! ... how uall like me now! If yall aint heard this lady sing b4 believe me shes got a frigin powerful voice, i fell in love with her music from the first time i heard that single 'Music' u know, when u know uve just heard something toite! The album, "A change
s gone come" is named afta Sam cooke's 64 classic, and shes knee deep in the soul on this one, the music is haunting and nostalgic, mostly based on the ins and outs of love and relationships... based on her own experiences like any decent soul album should; " U cant buy, or fake Soul, its eitha inside u or it aint" she once said in an interview, for me shes the best to do it since the death of neo-soul, she definately didt buy hers, this is soul rooted in church pews deep in the south, and obviously her show here in Cape Town, Africa! is gona be off the heezay.
