my first beat (of many i promise)

Be Water

Ghostface

Ghostface Killah - Whip You With A Strap

This song progressively kept getting awesome.

1. The beat pulled at my heartstrings

2. Dilla produced it

3. The first line ghostface said "snotty nose", probably my favourite lines used in hiphop (DOOM, Earl, etc.)

You know you've succeeded as a producer when you can evoke emotion just with your beats. I had to sit back for two seconds and actually let it sink in. So amazing.

Ghostface is in Vancouver on Wednesday and i couldn't be more fucking pumped.

More Ghostface:
Mighty Healthy

Earl/Madvillan

I love this take on Madvillan's "All Caps", Earl redid this and called it "Deerskin". He has the zaniest flow! He wrote this when he was FOURTEEN. Jesus.

Get more ass than potty holes - had these naughty flows ever since I was a snotty nose..

Here's the instrumental - it's also so good.



Madvillan - All Caps (Instrumental)

Witness - Yesterday's Wake

My man Witness doing a live recording of probably one of my favourite poetic songs of all time - Yesterday's Wake. So beautiful. Just listen to the lyrics - something about it just resonates with you.
Also he has a really sexy voice.

Oh and he can rap kinda fast too i guess.

Funk - Charles Bradley

Funk legend.

Charles Bradley - The World (Goin Up In Flames)

Only watch if you have orgasmic headphones on.

Walk like a p-iymp - Talk like a mac

Jay-Z - Cashmere Thoughts.

I've been listening to 'Reasonable Doubt' a lot, classic Jay. This is back when all his tracks were so $, the beats are all superb. Lyrically, you can't fuck with him either.

I talk jewels and spit diamonds - all cherry, like a hymenWhen i'm rhyming with remarkable timing


Kind of a weird coincidence - after i decided I would blog this today on my way to school - i went on twitter and this is the first thing i saw. Mike G from Odd future talking about the same thing. Weird.




Also, on another note - I was wondering if there was any women MC's doing REAL music. Not singing in the background, not representing white girl mob, REAL. ASS. WOMEN. RHYMING. ABOUT. REAL. THINGS. ON. REAL. BEATS. I wasn't sure if they existed - but i was on the bus home today listening to one of my favorite MF DOOM records 'MM..Food.' and this song came on and i was super pumped when i heard a girls voice on this dirty beat. Her flow is exactly like Doom's. All she needs to do is say something about being a snotty nose or make some 'pew pew' sound effects and she'd be golden.

MF DOOM - Guinessez (ft. Angelika + 4ize)


I love ALL the refrences to good Beers in his raps and beats. So fucking awesome:
I should've debtted it from Genisis
Instead of hittin them Guinnessez


This one is from 'Money Folder', probably my most favourite Doom line of all time:
Don't mind me, I wrote this rhyme lightly off of two or three Hieni's
And boy was they fine - Gee!
One black, one spanish, one chinee'
Keeps the woody shiny year round like a pine tree


WORD

I can't wait to rap

I am such a geek. Like for real - a fucking walking paradox.

I got eternal sunshine around me like I'm Jim Carrey
Pop the top like a virgin without a cherry
Yes, indeed - i'm very necessary
Now I aint no California Girl - But I can be your Katy Perry.

everyone help me think of a good MC name.
so far:
- Mc Bloodbath McGrath
- Meghann the great
- Meghann the Giant
- MZA
- DJ Cunty C
- CNTYZ

For Your Precious Love

Otis Redding -

You put this song on when you want to fall in love, its just one of those songs. I can not express my love for Otis Redding, he is the one musician that can make me have a straight up eargasm when im driving to work. Like actually - siezuring movements and just straight up yelling. I would be embarrased - but i have no shame. This song is actually amazing. I'm naming my child Otis - hope thats okay with you guys. Probably shouldn't sample this track, maybe the first like 20 seconds as a loop - but it's delicate.

Also on a side note if anyone is looking for good samples, invest in some Frankie Vallie. This song was in an Adidas commercial but nobody will remember thaaat. I would slow this one down. The percussion is swaggy.

Frankie Valli - Beggin' (1967)
give it like 30 seconds to kick


Also Smokie Robinson + The Miracles - I Second That Emotion
AHHHHH. i love him.
definitely snip that chorus.

Fuck Bitches - Get Money

Biggie ft. Lil Kim - Get Money

This isn't a new track for anyone, just a fucking classic. THIS IS WHY LIL KIM WILL ALWAYS BE BETTER THAN NICKI MINAJ. She works with REAL MC's. She writes dirty, filthy raps. And she's actually hard as fuck.

She has such a unique, masculine (yet feminin) flow that mimic's biggy's sooo well for this song. Minaj spits ridiculous, don't get me wrong - but it's more or less word barf and half of the things she says are only because they rhyme together. Yah shes shes got the "superb ass", but thats only because she has implants. I hope to god no girl EVER makes rhymes about how her fake boobs are the 'greattits'.

Just listen to her verse. It gives me a boner.

What's Up Fatlip!?

Fatlip - What's Up Fatlip?

Such a swanky old track. Listen to this back when i was like twelve. Just realized Fatlip is apart of Pharcyde (previously blogged), and worked with The Roots and even Dilla. The beat brings me back to some Slick Rick and Pete Rock old school beats. Sittinnnnnnn in my car, waiting for youuuu.

Man. I talk about these cats like they are my friends. While i'm just some skinny-ass suburban white girl - I realize the irony, i do - i just don't care. I just fucking love this music. I am convinced I'm some kind of reincarnation of some big black MC who is a lot cooler than me....

Also below... Just remembered this. Such a dirty track.



Fatlip - Today's Your  Day

The Fuck? Erykah Badu = Dre

Erykah Badu - Bag Lady (2000)
=
Dre - Xplosive (2001)

Yah. I just blew your mind.

Amazing Accapella - She Keeps Passing Me By!

http://youtu.be/cRNw005-NcY

Eargasm.

the words in themselves are a dramatic beat.
this needs little to no help at all.

The Phaycyde - Passin Me By.

Baby Don't Forget Me, I'm A Traveling Man.

DJ Honda ft. Mos Def - Travelling Man

This is such a beautiful song. Mos Def's flow is so melodic, he's so incomparable to any other artists. This song really resonates with me right now for some reason, it always has since the second I heard it. Just a constant reminder to not sweat people who come and go, in and out of your life, if there supposed to be back - then they will be back. Love and detachment my man.

That brings me to Blakroc. (For those that don't know - check it out. The Black Keys x amazing MC's and members of wu-tang) Holy cow I have a raging erection whenever i watch the webisodes of him and all those brothers making some funky ass music. Every rapper I bring up on here I keep saying is my favourite. I can't help it. But Real talk though - Mos Def may be the best.

You are the Prototype

OutKast - Prototype

I hope that your the one - if not, you are the prototype.
The real YouTube video wouldn't upload for me for some reason, but it is so fucking awesome. I've always loved this song. Andre 3000 is said to be one of the best MC/Rappers of all time. He's definitely in the Top 10. I'll probably name my child after him - yes, his middle name will be threethousand. That or Otis. I just need to marry someone with the last name Jackson. Andre Otis Jackson. Fuck that's swaggy.

Jackson's hit me up.

If we happen to part - Lord knows I don't want that
But Hey, we can't be mad at God.
We met today for a reason
I think I'm on the right track now.

Mr. Dibia$e

Holy smokes. Jesus Christ. This track is crazy. The beginning is just explosive. This is the closest I will EVER come to dub step. Download 'Sound Palace', amazing album. He's what would happen if Nujabes and RJD2 had a love child.

Big ups to my amigo Derek. Always with the superb taste.

PUT IT ON BIG L, PUT IT ON

Big L - Put It On

Big L was so bossy. I can't believe the track suit, reaks of swag. I love his flow and his verses are so good it doesn't even make sense. School Days will forever be one of my favourite songs.

Aretha Franklin on some amazing shit.

I want what she's having...

Jesus, Aretha Franklin in a some song about about love and its drug like qualities. This is headphone music. It would be fucking awesome as a sample for some track. I need to get into that. Or just start a blog about samples for hiphop producers/music makers and lovers. I just patented that.. So don't steal it.

Cole World

J. Cole - Higher

I know i hated on this guy for a long time. But he definitly is dees. Sick track, i love his melodies.
Very sexy.

It's alright..

Bob Dylan - Don't Think Twice, It's All Right (1963)

"Still... I wish there was something you would do or say -
to try and make me change my mind and stay...
We never did too much talkin' anyway.
So don't think twice... It's alright."

I'll miss you. So much. I just wish that you would miss me.

im on some bob dylan shit right about now...

Sometimes life hits you. Sometimes you need some Bob Dylan. Sometimes some Van Morrison.

Today is one of those rainy days that beautiful music justs seems to compliment.

Kids, don't do drugs.

WU TANG X BEATLES

Wu-Tang vs. The Beatles – Save Me Dear

Wu Tang x The Beatles...
....could there be anything better?
It's doubtful.
I wish i could rock a wu-tang T without looking like a lesbian... i got my ODB one but nobody knows what i'm talking about... that's fine.

"Your love, Gimme every drop
Your kiss gets me very hot
Never felt feelins before or felt so sure
Everytime you put it on me i fiend for more."

That's true fuckin love.

DOOOOOM

I've had a crush on metal face doom since the moment i heard his tin-head voice. Such a great lyricists and an even better musician.

"Don't mind me, i wrote this rhyme lightly of two or three hieni's, and Boy - was they fine gee.
One black, one spanish, one chiney - keeps the wood shiney year round like a pinetree."
– Madvillain, Money Folder

I love all his callabo's. Madvillain with Madlib, and Dangerdoom with Danger Mouse.

So smooth and so sexy.

While this isn't a callabo, this is a song he's featured on with De La Soul.

Just a filthy beat and great flow. Love it.




and 'Doomsday' has been and will always be one of my favourite songs...

Dom Kennedy - It Was Beautiful

If there's anything i'm a sap for it's a dirty piano loop. This does my fetish some justice.
