It's no secret that I'm a total unfaithful music whore. I never buy albums anymore. I find things on youtube and pandora and then I buy them. Sometiems, like with K'naan, I do become a fan of all their stuff. But until I hear more of their shit, I stay to the few songs I have.
EdIT: The Prescription (It's all like, 'Yes, you cand settle into the beat-oh wait, no you can't. Listening to this song will drive you crazy if you have any OCD at all.)
Curren$y: Audio Dope II (Okay, the video is the old standard sexist rap video, but also kind of not. as the undressed women are sorting the drugs, they're sexy yeah, but the drug they're packing is cassettes. The instrumental is awesome, and hey! Appearance of a tape Walkman! For those of you born in 1985 and later, WE USED THESE BEFORE CDS.)
Lifesavas: Hello hi hey (best lyrics ever! BEST LYRICS EVER. EVER.)
Quincy Jones ft T.I., B.o.B, Prince Charlez & Mohombi: Sanford and Son (3:00 is particularly awesome)
Metallica: Of Wolf and Man (Okay, I have had this for ages, but Metallica's Black album is the best winter music ever. Put this in while you're driving in the dark in the snow, and the flakes are flying towards your windshield like you're entering hyperdrive in the Millennium Falcon.)
Congorock: Babylon ft. Mr Lexx (The drop starts around 1:15. By the way, this is the best "Team Torchwood fighting a bunch of drug smuggling blowfish in a warehouse montage" music evar. I Imagine lots of slow motion Dee face kicks.
Cunninlynguists: Lynguistics (THEY SAMPLE TCHAIKOVSKY-VIOLIN CONCERTO, ALLEGRO MODERATO PART 1. THAT IS GENIUS.)
Classified: Oh…Canada (FOR MY CANADIAN PEEPS. AWESOME. "Our national mascot's a damn beaver! Oh Canada, we love our beaver!")
Universal Hall Pass: Sally's Song (yeah, how did this get in here? FUCKING AWESOME.)
Steve Angello: Knas (if there was a musical representation of edging, this song would be it. drop at 1:30.)
I have all these songs, but I feel strange offering them for download, because I think you should give these guys money. Underground rappers need to eat, too. Well, not Metallica. Piss off Lars and find it on torrent (Let's pretend, for legal purposes, that today is opposite day!)
Okay then.
