MMM... Nice helping of chops and screws...
Ok, so I'm from Detroit and that will always give me and ear to Hip-Hop different than that of my peers where I live (Tennessee), but there is one aspect of the music that has been catching my attention: Chopped and Screwed music. Now this sound was pioneered by DJ Screw (R.I.P.) and his way of hearing and expressing his music when he was "screwed up" (look it up). Now I chose to take this idea and apply it a song that has been sampled by many artists and groups for its select laid back sound.

Gone for a minute...
But I'm back again...
Well as of lately, I haven't been putting out material like I should have been doing (life has pretty much been a doozy, to say the least), but here and now I present to you the first off of my planned compilation entitled "Purps". It's a little something you can get up and get your 2 step on
(THANK YOU! Black Milk for putting some historic beats out there and giving me the inspiration to do this!)

Time to some new discoveries!
Well I have been at work and have found some songs that are in heavy rotation. For some reason now there are so many rappers that are breaking boundaries and deciding to join forces and bring a new level to the game. By them combining their skills they put out hot records. Hopefully we can see more unity in hip hop like this
Overdose on Life - Drake, Mickey Factz, Travis McCoy (of Gym Class Heroes)
-Now this song right here is insane. Drake (Jimmy from Degrassi: The Next Gen.) is a rapper out of Toronto who is roughly new. Mickey Factz is out of NY, and Travie is well-known
Listen, Love, Download
S.L.U (Swagger Like Us) - T.I., Kanye West, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne
-This song needs no explanation, just listen
Listen, Love, Download
Green Light - John Legend, Andre 3000
-This song right here has a really hype vibe to it, and one of the catchiest hook ever. And 3000 goes in and rips it with his freestyle
Listen, Love, Download
Everybody - Fonzworth Bentley, Sa-Ra, Kanye West, Andre 3000
-This can be heralded as the most random vibe you will ever have. Personally, I think this song has a real grab your girl and 2-step vibe to it.
Listen, Love, Download
Well I know all 2 of my fans out there may be waiting on some more music from me and my comrades, but it's coming, I promise :)

Hmmmm... Repetitive dreams...
Well, lately things have gained some sense of order (although that is to be taken very, very loosely). Things have really been calming down the closer and closer I get to school. Anywho, I should get back to that title and elaborate on it a bit before I find myself lost in rambling. Lately, I have been having these 2 really crazy dreams. I'm not gonna go into details about said dreams but I will say this much, they made me think. They posed 2 very distinct trains of thought: That of selfless sacrifice and that of acceptance. It really is kinda of a dorky way of my seeing myself as some kinda hero (i'm BIG into comics). I mean, honestly, if someone has walked into your life, and you feel some sort of importance towards that person, anything that person asks of you should be nothing, right? You take what you have and never covet it or take it for granted, and then you'll see what I mean.
I guess you can leave some comments or feedback...
Another song on the way (Probably in the next week or so)
And with that I'm Outty 5000.

M.I.A. - Paper Planes
Well, this song has been around for more than a while, yet for some reason everyone is finally catching on to the bandwagon that is M.I.A. I really am into her style of abstractly painting a picture of the injustices of the world. Mix that with some catchy hooks and catchier beats and you have an unbeatable combo. Anywho, for my first post, I decided to take on this song. I just added some beat loops, breaks, and some phazers.
