There are many, many things I want to yell about right now (trust me, i have many reasons to do so), but honestly yelling won't do anything... kind of like what the Treacherous one from Dirty Jersey said. I'm just trying to maintain and hope that something changes with a quickness.
So instead of all that... lets talk about some records i'm feeling right now:
Armand van Helden - "I Want Your Soul" - I'm not the biggest fan of techno/dance music, but this track is dope. It has an electro funk vibe to it, which is fresh. It's not for everyone, but just something different for now.
Ben Westbeech - "Get Silly" - Ben Westbeech is a UK singer... he's got an R&B vibe to his music. This track has some nice piano work, and is a light-hearted track about drinking too much.
Saigon - "Homegirl" - I'll save you the "Saigon needs to release an album already" stuff. That isn't my concern right now. As for this track, I'm not even a huge fan of the lyrics... it is bascially about him dating girls but really wanting to fuck their friends... what's dope about this track is the beat... he took and old Al B. Sure joint and flipped it up a little. So it has the early 90's New Jack/Dance type vibe to it. I think that if the right rapper did an album like this it would be dope.
Some older tracks I'm feeling:
Jay-Z - "It's the Sample" - This is a freestyle verse from his pre-Reasonable Doubt days. What's dope about this track is Jay's faster flow... he just sounded like he was having fun rhyming. Plus the sample he is rhyming over is dope... nice little piano.
Onyx - "Shifftee" - What can I say... Onyx used to be one of my favorite groups. Okay, yes they did basically just yell at you for three + minutes, but the beats were dope. "Shifftee" just has a dope beat and it basically sums up what Onyx was: "low down, gritty and grimey... shifftee!" I still like the debate that we used to have as to whether or not they were as rugged as they claimed, but they still made dope music.
