Heading into the Weekend and I have some tracks for you, as promised...
"All Black Everything"- Lupe Fiasco (Hip-Hop)
LASERS (Love Always Shines Everytime Remember 2 Smile), my most anticipated album, possibly ever, is creeping closer and closer each day. This track, "All Black Everything," is rumored to be Lupe's favorite track off the album, and also his favorite he's ever done. I'm not sure thats true, but I wouldn't be surprised. The lyrics are doper than hell. Just unreal. This is why he's the Beat Rapper Alive, and Top 5 Ever.
"Cause racism has no context
Hip hop ain’t got a section called conscious
Everybody rappin’ like crack never happened
Crips never occurred no Bloods to attack them
Matter of fact no hood to attack in
Somalia is a great place to relax in
Fred Astaire was the first to do a backspin
The Rat Pack was cool group of black men
That inspired five white guys called The Jacksons
Eminem fitted in but then again he inspired a black rapper tryin' to mimic him
And that’s what really rose up out of Michigan,
the sign of white rapper by the name of 50 Cent, ha!"
"Instant Karma!" - John Lennon (Rock)
My favorite fact about this track- On its side of the 45-Single, it says, "Play Loud." On the reverse side, a single by Yoko about the wind, it asks the listener to "Play Soft." Classic Lennon. Guy was miles ahead of everyone else.
"Green Light" - John Legend feat. Andre 3000 (R&B)
This was originally going to be a song from Wake Up!, the album Legend did with the Roots this past year. Odds on favorite was the song I thought should have been the Oscar Winner of Best Original Song, Shine. BUT... Andre 3000 is just too damn cool. And Andre appearances are as rare as they are breathtaking-- so its essential to enjoy them to their fullest. Oh, and John Legend's kind of a good singer...
