Still playing catch-up…I have to formulate a client acquisition strategy for work…but I do have time to share the theme song of the day with you. It’s the DJ Skeet Skeet and Cory Nitta remix of "Buzzin" by Shwayze. I agree that the original is super poppy (is that a word?), but I dig the remix. Check it out:
Good morning.
Over the past week, I spent quite a bit time trying to understand the new N.E.R.D. album in hopes of sharing it with you. Unfortunately, other than the remix of "Everyone Nose ," I am unimpressed. Well, "Anti Matter" is cool — but not amazing. I did, however, find a Lupe Fiasco album that I slept on. It was released in 2006 (probably when I had 2-a-day water polo practices and Accounting class). Anyway, it’s new to me — and I really dig it. So now, I’m playing The Cool, the Lupe mixtape, and this one (Food and Liquor). Each has great production, courtesy of the Neptunes and Kanye West, great lyrics, and Lupe’s flow is unassuming and mellow. And most importantly, the chorus’ don’t suck. If I have one complaint about hip hop in 2008, it’s the awful chorus that overpowers and kills 90% of tracks out there — I cringe every time I hear one.
That said, the theme song of the day is "I Gotcha," by Lupe Fiasco. I’m digging it right now.

I would be remiss if I didn’t also share the Grammy winning track he did with Jill Scott (yes, of Airport Ramada fame). Here you go:
Today’s theme song of the day is "Here’s the Thing," by GirlTalk. This track is all over the place. It starts with Quad City DJ’s (from back in the day), transitions to that American Idol girl that used to be fat but isn’tanymore, and ends with Rick Springfield — and those are just the vocals in the mix…The album is basically a cleaned up version of his live set — and it rocks. This is just one track — the complete album (called Feed The Animals) is dope. Give it a listen — if anything, it’s fun. It’s available online — just name your price. find it at Illegalart.net (or just click on the pic below).
and speaking of parties…it is almost July 4th…here’s a taste of what you can expect if you find yourself in newport that weekend:
Sunsets here are unbelieveable…i wish that i could share them with you — but i’ve been catching them from the water.
Today’s song of the day is a hip hop track that I have been playing for a while. It’s quintessential Def Jux – what would I do without that label? If you dig El-P, Aesop Rock or Cannibal Ox, this track is for you. It’s Rob Sonic’s “Rock the Convoy” from the Sabotage Gigante album. The reviews out there are mixed… but I have yet to find a Def Jux album that I didn’t enjoy. This track fits in well with the Girl Talk album (which is unreal!!!!!!!), the Black Ghosts mixtape, The Cool Kids’ EP, and Kids in The Hall. . . now you know what’s on my playlist today
