Slick Rick - “Sleazy Gynecologist“ (White Label, 199?)
Random Slick Rick Fact: I posted this song on CB a long time ago so sorry if this is old hat, but several months ago I sold the bootleg 12” to Pete Rock’s brother, InI member and long time DMV rep Grap Luva. Grap was shocked to see it, confirming that it was, in fact, a Pete Rock beat but not knowing that it had been booted. He only knew the track from when he snuck into his brothers spot and dubbed it off a DAT. He was also convinced it was a Japanese bootleg because of the spelling: “Sleazy Gynocorogist.” So yeah, I don’t know if anybody is still actively maintaining Pete Rock discographies on the internet but if you are there you go. Update that shit.
J. Cole featuring Drake – “In The Morning”
With posting this, I feel somewhat compelled to mention that I’m not a Drake fan or whatever but that’s just on some making-sure-none-of-y’all-think-I’m-gay sh*t which is retarded. Plus I know a lot of our followers probably love the dude so… to each his own. Good verses over smooth beats, that’s all there is to look for hip-hop-wise. Doesn’t really matter who’s going in as long as they are. (And naw, Drake did not outshine J. Cole on this—not even close. He held his own though.)

YesssirrrrrJODY BREEZE - “THE WAY I MOVE”
Gorgeous footwork track I caught off this Dro Carey mix. Totally dreamy, totally teetering on the verge of collapse with that manic 160bpm juke, the kind of ‘rhythmic danger’ Reynolds talks about. Only Sade can hold it together in these conditions.
Sade + smooth juke rhythms = murder

Kendrick Lamar - “For The Homies” (Computers, 2010)
Ever since Black Hippie’s “Zip That, Chop That” changed my mind about its blog bait leads I’ve been (re)exploring the mp3 breadcrumbs that constitute each of those rapper’s catalogs. Kendrick’s recent Overly Dedicated tape has some great moments but is also a little all over the place. On the other hand this older track (a whole two and a half months! LAST!) is in just the right spot. I sent it to a friend earlier and he described it as “a Based Ahmad,” which about covers it.

A friend of mine just showed me this song. I must say I was blown away by its originality. Believe it or not, this guy is unsigned. I feel like if you took Prince, gave him some acid, had him discover an analog bass sound and a good old AKAI MPC 2000 XL he’d come up with this. This song has a crazy sound, the closest genre I can categorize it as would be Wonky. For those of you unfamiliar with that term it is the genre that Hudson Mohawke and Flying Lotus are categorized under. It is also somewhat reminiscent of Chillwave. That’s besides the point just check out Jai Paul and enjoy the shit out of this track. its on repeat on my iTunes right now even though I’m trying to get a paper done. Let it distract you as it is distracting me.
