Last couple of weeks were boring, hip-hop-wise, but glad to say a few new (at least to me) tracks have popped up this week, right on time for the 4th quarter album rush. A few I'm feeling at the moment:
Don't think this is a new song, as the American Gangster album version's supposed to feature Beanie Sigel. Good track regardless.
The drums on this track kill me, so much so that I'm even willing to forgive Verbal's wack flow and dodgy Transformers simile (anyway, he shouts out Tokyo, so if he's Japanese and rapping in his second language I can't really hate).
I know mashups got boring a couple of years ago, but Bullion's Pet Sounds in the Key of Dee Dilla/Beach Boys album is quality. Can't get this track in particular out of my head.
More Dilla-influenced music as Spinna and a very Dwele-esque Phonte smooth it out, with Phonte crooning a collection of classic Jay Dee hooks. A great tribute, worth sticking on The Get Back, maybe as a bonus track.
I've heard a couple of Jay's tracks on Just Blaze's blog and been impressed. Ditto with this track over (surprise surprise) J Dilla's spacey sonics. Very reminiscent of MF Doom; shame he and Dilla never collaborated on an album/EP.
