Underwater Cinematographer

Talib Kweli carries the remnants of Hip Hop's integrity in the pockets of his words. This song is why.

Is Thursday underrated, misunderstood, or just plain shitty? I here much of the latter two being shouted at me from blogs, friends, and music critics alike. I wholeheartedly disagree with them, because I honestly hear genius embedded in every song. For my sake, let me know if I'm simple, or just insane. Hear them Do it Acoustic.

But I haven't given up on Hip Hop. Not by a long shot. Which is why I love to kick back and hear MF Doom spit it wicked. Its just plain fun to listen to his simple flow delivered so smoothly and effectively. Check it.

Catchy. Repetitive. Brilliant. "Q & Not U" can't do it any other way. Case and Point, this song.

Local acts in my Town are never really taken seriously. But when you make music that gets the kids dancing and learning all the words to your songs, then you're likely to break the mold. Love and Respect.

In Your Dreams

This Kanye West B-side sounds like it was beta version of the arms race remix beat. But the story is melancholy and endearing. Another Golden Track from our Favorite Bear Fetishist.

A slow, tape-warm, Conga-fueled version of my favorite Sublime song was definitely a welcome surprise to my earbuds. However, Brad's singing sounds influenced by something distinctly '80s, but I don't know what.

Ebin (Alt. Take)
Sinsemilla

Beginning a song with gibberish that crashes into the best beat scrapped from Food & Liquor was enough to make me forgive the fiasco Mr. Fiasco created for himself. If you, too, are still chapped about Lupe's ignorance towards ATCQ, I ask now to be forgiving and enjoy the music.

Food & Liquor (Advance)

I have no idea when I got this song, or why I did, but I'm infinitely grateful that my iPod blessed my ears with such greatness once more. I nearly forgot about this song altogether, until I fell into a journey with the galloping guitar and weeping violin, soaring through windscapes and wonderwalls, towards a climatic battle to breach the brazen drum beat that lolled me home once more. The Magic Numbers are nothing short of Magic.

My only qualm with this song is that its the clean version. But other than that, this is my favorite remix of "Distortion to Static", considering there are upwards of 20 of them. A simple drum beat that proves again that the drum is the loudest acoustic instrument shadowed by a creepy melody that fades in and out to highlight Black Thought's lyrical tyranny. A True Gem.
