Word. "You guys ready for Xmas?" I'm hearing that a lot on TV this past week... I don't feel like I'm ready, but hell, I'm not ready for Friday, let alone Xmas. This year is almost over... I think next week might be a special playlist, with a host of tracks that I loved being available to you guys for being loyal readers. We'll see. Might be a top10 from me -- I am not a fan of "Top 10 albums of the year" lists, I mean hell, I can't pick them at all. 2006 has been pretty shitty, album wise. Aside from J Dilla's Donuts, everything else has paled in comparison. In any case, here's my 10 heaters for this week...
01/Young Buck ft. The Game & Ludacris "Stomp (Nappy's Dubstep Mix)" [my DJ is still on that gwap. This one is ill.. I wish I had more than the 'rough' version of this track, or I'd share it. Luda sounds fucking SLICK over the dubstep...]
02/Busta Rhymes "I'm Just Getting Warm" [scorcher produced by Dr. Dre, sampling LL's "Mama Said Knock You Out" in the intro. Another club banger. Wonder if this is getting play yet, this is the perfect heat-for-the-winter track.]
03/Jean Grae ft. Phil The Agony "Heat Freestyle" [from the new Talib Kweli mixtape... shit's official. Review might be coming on this soon... been so busy/lacking sleep. We'll see. EDIT: Merry Xmas.]
04/Skillz "The Rap Up 2006" [you know what it is. Skillz recapping '06 over "Lost One". It's funny, no doubt, but not his best. Oh, and props to Rizoh of rap.about.com and The Rap Up fame, among other things... he posted up each and every "Rap Up" Skillz has done. Respect.]
05/Joulz Il "D-Town Hit" [unsigned hype. Peep his MySpace page, and get familiar. More on him coming ASAP.]
06/The Sect "Axon" [neuro-style gwap on Obscene. Surprised, reminds me of some Ed+Op flavors, classic. Not really my everyday DnB cup of tea, but I'm feeling this one.]
07/Jazz Thieves "Keep Pushin'" [good to hear Curtis Mayfield jacked for a DnB tune. Those horns are beautiful.]
08/Heist "Sprout (Breakage Remix)" [heavy dub vibes on this one... Amit-esque, but still original enough. Not what I was expecting from this RMX at all, and I love it! Grab the EP if you see it...]
09/Mutt & Perpetuum "November" [rollin' DnB at it's finest. Peep the dubplate digest for more info on this one and some more FREE DnB.]
10/Insight "Double Dealing" [forthcoming Progress Limited heat. more of that Dub-tastic flavor. So sick.]
In terms of mixtapes and such, there's a few about that need to be bigged up... there's a "Santa's Mixtape", which is done by the folks over at Wildstyle. This has 50 mins of Xmas Rap, which is nice for those who don't want to keep rockin' to "Christmas In Hollis", even though that classic is represented as well. Yours truly also has a new Dub Session out, "National Lampoon's Dub Vacation", which is a nice dubstep mixtape for the holidays. If you like it, let me know what you think...
Finally, for the Final Thought, I figured I'd play it late and just throw up the now infamous "Dick in A Box" vid from the last SNL featuring Justin Timberlake. It's a pretty hilarious send up of those mid 90s videos, preferably the old Color Me Badd flicks... after that, you get the special "Lazy Sunday" skit, which is just hilarious and old and whatever. Keep it locked:
"Dick In A Box" (Uncensored)
"Lazy Sunday"
Be safe.
