Bumpin' My Music
Ray Cash: will heads be bumpin' his music?
Believe me, I'd rather stay on the Cheney shooting, this "Port-gate" story, the fact that Iraq looks like it's REALLY going down in flames and a bunch of other news and "current" events I've been threatening to talk about for a while but if I don't get back to some music right now, there might not be anyone left to read about that stuff!
Chris Brown "Yo (Black Chiney remix)" - (young) lover's rock. This reminds me of those excellent Alicia Keys reggae remixes that were doing the rounds a couple years back and is a lot better than you'd expect - check it!
Cheri Denis feat. Jim Jones & Black Rob "I Love You (remix)" - this record's been bubblin' for a minute but I'm not sure everyone is fully up on who sings it (?). It sounds like a Neptunes c. 2004 production but I don't think they actually did it. But it's such a good song that I don't even really care if it sounds a little out of date. (Note: sorry about the clean edit, that's all I had.)
More T-Pain answer records: Kedash "I'm N Love Wit a Gangsta" (via Kedash | semi-related: "LL Cool J Is Not In Love With Strippers")
And while we're on some R&B ish, congrats to my peoples Kay Gee and Giz on their #1 debut with the new Jaheim album, Ghetto Classics.
Back to the music though:
Shawnna "Getting Some Head" - I really like this record even though she's looking like a H.A.M. right hurrr. (note: reg. may be required to access this mp3 for download)
And in response to Sean, peep this: Ray Cash feat. Scarface "Bumpin' My Music" and read this.
And speaking of Texas legends: is 2006 gonna be the Year of UGK?
Da Back Wudz “I Don’t Like the Look of It” - this track is kind of fire too. I should have put them and Field Mob as picks to click in my Year-End Wrap-up's. (video | audio)
Speaking of which here's a couple things I forgot to include in my lists:
Webbie - Savage Life
This album title don't lie. This is 2005 ig'nant hip hop personified but executed to perfection. What do they say about the Devil having the best music?
and the singles:
Louis XIV "God Killed the Queen" - dirty garage glam-rock played by some dudes who seem to have as depraved an attitude towards women and sex as the worst mainstream "gangsta" rappers. Trust me though, just like the ladies who dance to 50 cent, I bet all those skinny white girls in their low-cut jeans were dancing to this in rock clubs last year. The rest of the album is OK though might be kind of ho-hum and paint-by-numbers for those who have a passing knowledge of who Marc Bolan is. (download mp3 | video | streaming e-card)
Cut Copy "Future" - from the not-bad electro-pop album Bright Like Neon Love. And if you're diggin' that, holla at your boy Mylo and his Destroy Rock & Roll album.
Finally, some end-of-post bonus throwback hip hop linkage: Extra P mp3's at Prefix.
