thanks man. Guru's style hasnt aged well in some of his works, but that's a classic, and DJ Premier embodies that NY jazz/soulful sound that made me fall for hip-hop as a kid, and i still get happy as hell hearing it.

 

music roulette sounds like a good idea, ive always threatened to release a Quality Hip Hop 101 mixdisc for hondo's based on tracks with that sound that i dont think get circulation these days, so too many think all the genre can/will do is on the radio, which is a shame. one day, i get too indecisive when i try to set up a playlist, heh.

 

maybe itll redeem me after the preacher OST, haha

 

 

and yeah, ray-ray, MOAR.

loreli was dead-on with Cannibal Ox, shame i didnt hear them in the day. i hear the main dude's drug habit has him panhandling these days, shame for such a talented MC.

 

"The F word", a great track for anyone ever stuck in the friend zone.

Rhinestone Eyes by The Gorillaz (yeah I know I just now got a chance to listen to the Plastic Beach album. Love it!)

 

I'm a scary gargoyle on a tower

That you made with plastic power

Your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away

 

When the paralytic dreams that we all seem to keep

Drive on engines till they weep

With future pixels in factories far away

 

So call the mainland from the beach

Your heart is now washed up in bleach

The waves are rising for this time of year

And nobody knows what to do with the heat

Under sunshine pylons we'll meet while rain is falling like

Rhinestones from the sky

 

I got a feeling now my heart is frozen

All the phoses and growsin

Happy and after native in my soul

I prayed on the unmovable

Yeah clinging to the adam's of rock

Seasons seas just smooth Signs are change

I cant see now she said taxi

I that light is so I can take

Storm bring strange loyalties

 

I'm a scary gargoyle on a tower

That you made with plastic power

Your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away

(Here we go again)

(That's electric)

 

Helicopters fly over the beach

Same time everyday same routine

Clear target in the summer when skies are blue

Its part of the noise when winter comes

It reverberates in my lungs

Natures' corrupted in factories far away

 

Your loves' like rhinestones, falling from the sky

With future pixels in factories far away

Your loves' like rhinestones, falling from the sky

With future pixels in factories far away

not sure what i just saw, but i liked it.

cant get "one track lover" out of my head now from the darkplace thread.

Its a bit of genius and social commentary all in one. It makes me wonder why more music can't be like that. But yeah, one of my favorite groups at the moment, I'd strongly encourage checking them out rather than giving the new gorillaz album a listen.
