My buddy AL chopped up the background music of a Raphael Saadiq interview…simply because it was a dope beat and he wanted to listen to it in song/instrumental form (Yea, that’s just how much my crew loves music). After he sent me the chop, I knew immediately that I had to share it here! Enjoy…

Discovered this song last night as I was kickin’ it with some friends. We were debating about something, then our attention was quickly turned to vh1 Soul when we heard this craaaaazy bass line accompanied by some nice vocals and dreamy keys. The artists name is Geno Young, the track is called Honeydew. Enjoy…
Geno Young – Honeydew
peep the vid as well…
Just found out (a whole day late), that Rashad “Tumblin’ Dice” Smith was spinning at DD172 last night. Pissed that I missed out on that, but hey, I’ll flip it into a positive and share this LL banger that Tumblin’ Dice produced almost 15 years ago. Still KNOCKS today, like it never came out! Enjoy…
L.L. Cool J – Doin’ It
Hey you, can I get a light—Nah, a Bud Light?…
Classic line by MF DOOM, on the track “Great Day” from the Madvillain album. That song just feels like a bright Thursday during the spring, desperately awaiting Friday. Enjoy…
Madvillain – Great Day
Caught a glimpse of this online yesterday and thought I’d share. Basically it’s a “musicmentory” to celebrate the most AMAZING format of listening to music ever created…VINYL. This is a trailer, so we’ll have to stay anxious for a while, but I’m very excited about this! There were segments about the love of album cover design, as well as some beautiful visuals of the vinyl itself (I think I’m in love). Check it out…
I was listening to my iPod on shuffle (which I never do), and up pops “Eve”, the Roots interpretation of the remix that J Dilla originally created for Steve Spacek. Alot of people don’t even know that this song exists (it was a white label), but anyway, the live re-make idea by brother ?uestlove is kinda awesome. Enjoy…
The Roots – Eve
This is the first song that popped into my head this morning, maybe because I’m anxious for the new album to drop…Return of the Ankh. Enjoy…
Erykah Badu – Rimshot
I’m going to try my best to post a “mood” track from time to time, which will simply be a musical expression of the vibe during that particular day. So for this Monday, I’m going with “Jungle Sounds Part 1″…it’s a rainy day in NYC today so it’s fitting. Enjoy…
Madlib – Jungle Sounds Part 1
Sweet Stuff.
Artist: Sylvia
Title: Sweet Stuff
Year: 1977
Label: Vibration
Format: Vinyl LP (Original)
Flwrpt Rating of this Record: 4.5/5.0
Review
This is a pre-recorded follow-up album to the self-titled “Sylvia” LP which was released in 1976. The single, “Sweet Stuff” was a big hit, so in an effort to cash in on that success, Sylvia quickly put out another full record…which is titled “Sweet Stuff”.
I love this record! I love all of her records, she wrote and produced them almost completely by herself. If you listen to her music, she had her own unique sound that nobody could duplicate. The sound was RAW and unpolished, the lyrics were risque, and the way she arranged her drums was ridiculous (her drums probably inspired the drum programming of your favorite producer). Anyway, this record is similar to her others in the sequencing department, meaning it loses focus from time to time, but that doesn’t detract from the quality of the music…just means she was experimenting and probably not trying to make a concept album.
Check out the sound!

It is what it says it is…Sweet Stuff. This is a nice illustration of a kid sitting on “candy mountain”, lol! What draws me in most, not surprisingly, is the hand-drawn type…gets me every time. The uniqueness of it is something that can never be duplicated. Overall, this is just a colorful, exaggerated, fusion piece…strong and communicates the message (well…slighty, because this album is DEFINITELY NOT about kids and candy!).
