Dear Manny Pacquiao

Thank you for the turkey! Also, thanks to a really good friend, who told me you'd be giving turkeys away today.

Sincerely,
mike

Unrelated to the turkey giveaway, I just vinyl ripped this white label. If you know who it's by, let me know. It's really dope, and I'm curious.

White Label - You Could Say I'm Sort Of The Boss (mp3)

damn

love is expensive too.

Passion - Lemonade (mp3)


Passion - My Boo ft Reena (acoustic) (Usher & Alicia Keys cover) (mp3)

i like you?

Sometimes I like to ride, and when I ride, I like to listen to "Rollin" by DâM-FunK. I posted the instrumental version on this blog a while back (when he had it up for download on his MySpace page), and now I'm re-uping it because of popular demand (2 commenters). I guess I like to make people happy? Anyway, you can grab that 'West Coast feel good make me wanna boogie' funk here. It won't be up for long though, because if DâM-FunK finds out, I'm taking it down with a quickness. And while you're grabbing the free jams, you should purchase Rhythm Trax by DâM-FunK out 12/9 on Stones Throw too. Just in time to get your float on for the holidays.

DâM-FunK - Rollin' (mp3)


DâM-FunK - Don't Make Me Funk You Up! (mp3)

"If we got the fo-od...

you know it's the 1st of tha month..."

It's not the first yet, but this song was brought up recently and I've been listening to it A LOT lately. "Thuggish Ruggish Bone" was cool too, but when this came out???... this was the shit.


At the time, my best friend, Marcus, tried to peep me on Crucial Conflict, but I wasn't into it. They were cool, but I thought they were trying to sound too much like Bone Thugs or something. We got into arguments about who had that fast rapping style first, and he would say stuff like, "Crucial Conflict had it first, but they were underground so we just didn't know about it." I was like, "Maan, does that even count? Second, is that true?"

Anyway, we were both wrong. Twista held the Guinness World Record for being the fastest rapper back in 1992. Bone Thugs got together in the early 90s, but they didn't come out with "Thuggish Riggish Bone" until 1994. Snap, talk about the complete opposite of overnight celebrity. Back in 1992 I was listening to Black Sheep, the Low End Theory, Humpty Dance, Kriss Kross, and all that. Who was Twista?

Tambourine Dream EP

Sometimes spells of madness seem to hit for no apparent reason. I'd like to smash something into a thousand tiny pieces right now. Not in an angry Ultimate Warrior type of way though. More in a casual, I'm in a nice store and happen to bump into a really expensive vase, type of way. But it's a record like this that helps me cure the feeling. Anyway, I finally picked up my copy at ttl today. I actually need to get the CD version too. Word from the ttl site is "...the Flagrant Fowl dudes [Cousin Cole and Pocketknife] got loose on this CD with twelve more remixes..." I highly recommend it. They've recently released their Canyon Dancing EP, which I need as well.

Life Is Expensive...

and that's the truth.

Time Machine - In The City of Everything (mp3)

From the album, Life Is Expensive.

Old Money NYC Tee

I was hoping around on the nets, searching Crystal Waters (don't ask), and I ran up on Attorney Street's new shirt. They've got a mix to go with it too. It's some steez I'm sharkin' (i don't even know if i used that correctly). Anyway, proceeds go toward Urban Word NYC (nice). Check out more info about Old Money and the shirt here.
