I fux with....Movie Soundtracks

Slumdog Millionaire Soundtrack

This movie is by far the best movie I've seen this year. It's damn near ready to knock Spike Lee's masterpiece, 25th Hour, out of my all-time top 3. The soundtrack is just as awesome. Enjoy.

Life After The Singularity

The Wright Album Samples (Compiled by Kasper of Rap1masse)

As far as I know this is a first, a sample set for a remix album. The remix album was made by Kasper/Isbjerg over at Rap1masse. It was so hot that I had to get ny hands on the samples. The album blends The Black Album with some great tracks from O.V. Wright's career. It's definitely worth a checkout. I plan on doing sets for his and other remix albums soon.

I've been meaning to post one of my poems for a while, but ennui always kicks in. I wrote this one for my sis on her birthday.


She came out the womb a flaming leaf
Velocity in her veins
A burning bubble ricocheting against earth and cloud,
For 19 years the girl has been a miracle of nature
A leaf, like any other
Well...not like any other
A bit thinner than the rest, but woven of steel thread
She bends with whipping wind and blends with waving light,
Through blighted storms that twig redwoods and dismember the most tightly held branches
She dances, unhurried
Bending with or without
Stilling when she pleases
A smile that bears no creases
A heart that never ceases
My only shot a having nieces
(ok, threw that in there just to keep the rhyme going, but it's still true to the smallest pieces),
She effortlessly bears our father in her unwavering eyes
She effortlessly bears our mother in her impeccable wit
She effortlessly bears me in how effortlessly effortless her efforts are,
A simple leaf, yes
But the very reason for which the seeds were sown
For which the roots took hold
For which the stem broke ground
For which the sun was born
For which her rays shoot off at the speed of light bound for an unknown planet
For which they break atmosphere
For which which they feed that young tree
For which branches sprout
All so one day she would unfurl from her cocoon
A miracle, yes

Emovalanche Pt. 2

Emovalanche (Kwabena Mintah Stylee)

As promised, this is my "emo" mixtape. It's mostly electronica/instrumental hip-hop: Rjd2, Dj Shadow etc.

(BTW, I don't post tracklists anymore because the Blogger people are a bunch of underhanded snitches. They've taken down some of my posts without so much as a heads up, so I'm trying to avoid that happening again)

Emovalanche Pt. 1

Emovalanche (Maggie Ahuofe Stylee)

This is a mixtape put together by a friend. The theme of the mixtape is "emo", but it runs a wide gamut of genres and styles. In a few days I'll post my response mixtape. My defination of "emo" pretty much means a lot of RJD2, Dj Shadow, Portishead, Blockhead, Prefuse, etc. So if you're a fan of that style, then check for it in a few days.

Known Issue: 2 of the songs in the mixtape can't be played.

Hip-Hop needs more rappers with this kid's sense of humor.

The Poll was not even close. Love Lockdown swept into office with nearly 60% of the vote. Though I guess kanye shouldn't be too proud of the win...That said, the Video is BANANAS like Woody Allen.

Trapping Muzik

T.I. - Trap Muzik [The Samples]

The summer between Junior and Senior year in high school ('03) was the height of my anti(non-New York)-Mainstream Rap era. That was, until I saw the video for Be Easy on Rap City. Prima Facie, it wasn't anything special, but something about this young southern fried rapper I had never heard of before just blew me away. I copped Trap Muzik and jammed to it for the rest of the summer. In the fall, Rubberband Man and 24 were dropped as singles and the rest, as they say, is history...Actually, no, it isn't. I have been jamming to Paper Trail for about a week, and though it's a decent album, all it did was remind me of how awesome Trap Muzik (and to lesser degree Urban Legend) was. Even though he has grown into a huge superstar, his music has lost that amatuerish (in the best sense of the word) effervesence that it did from '02-'04. Just my 2 cents. As always, a shoutout to Kev and Thomas for their assists.
