Am I officially into grime right now? That depends, who makes it official? Are there visa concerns? Do I have to know anything about it? Is it more like, an idea or something? All these questions and more answered next time I post a grime track.
Holler at this sh*t right here. You're going to need a favorite uk emcee, might as well start looking around.
Oh man, this is my type of sh*t right here. When given the option I usually end up throwing something like this on and reveling in the orgasmic feeling of staying on the line between smiling and weeping. You should try it, it's fun AND depressing. I couldn't decide if I liked this live version better, but I might. If you watch it, pay attention to that mic combination they got going on. I don't know the mics or anything but you can tell by the shapes that whoever set it up knows what's up. This song was also in that nigerian movie I saw, which was both kind of surprising and also a reminder that I didn't know sh*t about the state of nigerian film.
I'm going to officially start checking for stizz regularly, this motherf**ker is nice. I'm also looking forward to getting a new perspective on boston. If you're from around here (montreal) you know what the average boston dude interaction is like. If you're not from around here, allow me to explain that sh*t. Out here the drinking age is eighteen, so every weekend certain parts our city are swarmed with obnoxiously wasted bostonian white guys with polo shirts and military-style haircuts failing to pick up women and deciding that fighting in the streets is almost as good. It's not homie, it's not! In fact, now that I think about it, and also for the sake of narrative closure, I've seen quite a few of them get their bells rung.
Sacramento living legend right here. The dude on the right in that thumbnail looks hella f**ked up. His eyelids are looking real heavy.
Let me tell you what my favorite sh*t is. I love when a hook sounds kind of funny the first time it runs. You're just not entirely sure about it you know. It's sort of on the verge of being dope but there's something a little bit strange about it. And then then it rolls around a second time and boom that motherf**ker bangs and somehow you know all the words already. I love that sh*t.
This is some vintage lana del rey right here. California! Now with 808's! Remember when lana del rey dropped during that "indie" boom? She had those video's that she purportedly made herself on her macbook with found footage and photobooth or whatever, but then it came out she was on a major label and all the nerds felt so betrayed? hahahaha. I read a year or so ago about the person who actually made those video's, I forget who though. I'm not a video dude. Then again I've always been a sucker for some slow over exposed stuff so I do dig this one. Supposedly that's father john misty as the main fella there. Whoever father john misty may be.
I've been having lots of conversations about timbaland recently, which believe me, is as unusual for me as it is for you. There's been conversations about his merits as a rapper (divided opinions), conversations about his contribution to pop music (more than anyone has the right to ask for), to one particularly uproarious laughing fit with my lady centered around the difference in his attitude from jermaine dupri (jermaine's all about getting respect for what he's done, timbo's more like "fuck everything I've done, I'm dope now!"). While all that was going on timbaland actually went reinvented himself. This sh*t is dope. I don't know where these dudes are from but they're seriously old school atl flowing like a motherf**ker on here; And I wasn't really watching the video but judging from the thumbnail, yeah timbo is still making those faces.
Twenty sixteen baby! I'm utterly flabbergasted by this and frankly I love them for it. Notice weezy in the ovo sweatsuit. You have to respect the way weezy supported drake, assuming he hasn't "baby'd" him of course.
