Music 2 wake up 2!!! The hook alone is my daily Anthem Why Andre and Cee-Lo dont work on an entire project together is beyond me But a man can dream cant he? You gotta respect Andre as one of hip hops most quotable MC's of all time. You better now or get 2 rolling like rollie pollies hahaha
"Lets Eat Baby Lets EAT!" I have never seen someone want a quarter pounder, big mac, french fries, sundaes and apple pie, with a filet-o-fish as much as Pharrell. I wonder what beat he was listening 2??
An unofficial fan made vid by my 2nd favorite band (N.E.R.D. is #1) in the world (they seem 2 get a post a week nowadays) Metronomy!! This time they bring the song "This Could Be Beautiful" and alot of times music could be beautiful without any words and inspire art this is one of those songs...
Here’s a dope new video for The Golden Filter’s excellent single “Solid Gold.” It actually lives up 2 its name! As a person who has owned a pair of solid gold shades I know what its like 2 see through an actual golden filter hahaha. I must compliment them on the use of the synthesizer in this song...Pure Gold.
If you are a gear head this vid will have you spazzing!! Catch “Caught in a Riot (Feat. New Moscow)” of Anderas Tilliander’s new album “Show”. The video was shot during one day with a Nikon D90.Worth a watch or 2 or 5.
*YAWWWWWWWWWn* Good morning Zig Zags.Stripes.&.Plaid-a-likes The is here is Just a mix full of Fresh squeezed music to start and live ya day 2... Enjoy.
I had a highly inspiring session yesterday with Mr. RC Thee Great and we have some very interesting jams coming your way soon. I have been inspired by Will Smith's Just Cruisin' to make that watching the sunset on Sunset music 4 everyone who forgets we live in the most beautiful city in the world. Los Angeles. Gotta respect the Fresh Prince.
Nope this isn't new. But this blog isn't about the now its about my daily inspirations and shit RAAD, RC and myself find fresh. Deal with it and recommend it 2 a friend. Me and my pen have been having alot of deep conversations of late EXTRA late @ night I haven't been to sleep before 3 in about 2 weeks. So with that said this has been my anthem ALL my artists, insomniacs and night life livers can you relate??
Just Blaze has been majorly low key since Kingdom Come right?? Well heres some snippets of a joint with Mos Def x Jay Electronica I heard while surfing through The Exactly New music is an exciting thing!! No diss but I am glad he has moved his eggs out of just 2 main baskets Jay and Saigon. Funny thing people seem 2 forget that Just had a blog running before they were even popular I wonder who still reads it? And honestly RC, Belvi, Mike Nova can all testify if I would have 2 compare where I am writing/content/concept wise the closest MC would be Mos Def right now Not 2 toot horns but *beep* I am stepping it up! Enjoy.
...God before anything... ...home before anyplace... ...Love Power kills the hate... ...Minimum wage major gains... ....Now Put that on ya brainie brain!
Nothing more 2 say in this but The Estatic album available this summer Bars Are UP!!!!!!!!
I watched this vid this morning with Brandon like wow this is why she needs Kanye in the vid, Timbaland, Polow the Don, Lil Wayne and all this push and still cant drop an album. She's Swagless. This is proof. She's like that cute girl you used 2 meet in the mall and you talked 2 her like damn I got her number DOPE! Without really talking to her that long and when you called her on the phone she was VERY blah. But you kept calling back cuz she was cute. That can only get you so far. With Rhianna on the injured reserve this is her chance to step up take that spot. But she wont. LOL @ Kanye looking drunk!!
Two profound men speaking on their likes and dislikes... Just a part of one of my favorite interviews ever. Dave was the coolest celeb I have ever met and in all honesty I miss seeing him on tv/stand up/movies. Make a comeback Dave. Please... Shits just not as funny anymore.
Bjork has 2 be the weirdest pop artist of all time. I have been studying her genius for this entire first semester in school and this by far is my favorite song from her. "Where is The Line?" is from Bjorks 2004 release Medúlla. During production, Björk decided the album would work best as an entirely vocal-based album. However, this initial plan didn't materialize exactly that way, as the majority of the sounds on the album are indeed created by vocalists (although these sounds are often electronically distorted) but several feature prominent basic electronic programming. Björk used the vocal skills of throat singer Tagaq, hip hop beatboxer Rahzel. Enjoy!!
Have you ever wondered this? I have EVERY DAY. One day in particular i was parked on the wrong side on street cleaning day reading an art magazine, (no matter why i was in such an odd reading area), when parking enforcement pulled up. This old blackberry (with sweet juice) walked over to my car and with a rather crude manner said "You caint park here! why would you be he anyway iss twelve o' clock," the point of this is that there was no siren. She cant chase me, because i wasn't moving. As soon as she stopped blowing steam into my car i pulled off. So whats the need? do they get in to high speed parked car chases often? What does a parking enforcement siren sound like? maybe a its sounds like a fruit truck.. Or maybe its just there to make them seem to reek with authoritah? I'm just not sure....
Peep his show on Comedy Central I am to lazy 2 post the day or time sooooo you should look it up on that handy cable guide channel. This dry humor leaves me thirsty 4 more laughs.
Being the geeky producer dude i am, this is my couch if i was a couch potatoe... The Vision Computer Workstation. At first it was the table tops and 3 panel moniters that got me, but when I found out there was a 5 speaker system and sub 2 words...For me? ...lol http://www.thev1chair.com/systems.htm
Like I have previously stated John Mayer is my favorite celebrity. More proof presents itself. John Mayer recently loaded this new video of himself messing around with an MPC on Youtube. The video description states that he was inspired by Kanye’s singing on 808’s and Heartbreak an decided to try his hand at another genre. I would hop on this track would you?
I wake up every single day and realize we are living in the future now. Welp here is more proof. The Greatest Invention known 2 music in the 2000's hands down or up. My boy Mike S. @ The Art Institute is actually building one! "Anything." may have this instrument ALL over it. The reactable is an electro-acoustic music instrument with a tabletop Tangible User Interface that has been developed within the Music Technology Group at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Spain by Sergi Jordà, Marcos Alonso, Martin Kaltenbrunner and Günter Geiger.
Peep this instrument inn full effect live as Bjork the first artist to use one in a live show gets busy @ Coachella in 07

Jay-Z - Dirt Off Your Shoulders 2. T.I - What You Know 3. Chamillionaire - Ridin’ 4. Ludacris - What’s Ya Fantasy 5. Bonecrusher - Neva Scared 6. Kanye - Overnight Celebrity 7.

Greetings intronet heads. Its Def and ummmm I have been sitting on this audio since "Something." came out WAAAAAAAY back in May of 08 I feel its finally time 2 let the idea out the bag due to the dopeness of the shows and the boredom of the over flooding of studio music ALL over the place I will be one of the first on my local scene to record and release not a mixtape but a live album Titled "The Natural." Which I plan on recording in June in a loft downtown waaay more intimate setting wouldn't you agree?? (and yes you are invited) But for now here's a preview of the liveness with my band The Tomorrow @ The Temple Bar (Simeon Shigg on keys, Mike on guitar, Will Hawkins on bass, Kev "Roosevelt" Moore II on drums, additional vocals by Novena Carmel, Poetic, and YG) Please mind you this was our first performance EVER as a band together with just one rehearsal the night before.

1st things 1st, I'd like to thank Def for allowing me to provide anything in his blog... I am, RC, Def's "in house" producer.... Being it my 1st entry, I'd like to say I'ma very covert guy if i dont know u..... So all my post will likely be from a "unexpectable" type vibe. But what do u expect from a guy who makes tracks for 1 of the most unexpectable rappers u kno?..lol...so in the fashion of anything being "unexpected".......
I found this claymation madness via We do it right (one of my fav. blogs btw) I can do nothing but smile @ a band I can smash with my bare hands Music video's are low key making a MAJOR comeback. Creativity wins!
With Miss Jack Davey & Blu on one song you really cant go wrong they make me proud of being from The City of Lost Angels Belvi trademarked it as "Groovetastic"
Funny thing I was on the phone with my boy Mike Nova aiming and shooting thee breeze and he heard me playing "iFeel" he was like are you listening 2 Conscious Daughters? I was like Who?? one Youtube search later I just got hipped 2 Oakland's classic joint from the 1993 Album Funky Expedition. I mean the name alone tells me its dopeness.. Oh and LOL @ the old school editing *BEEP*
There some shit you just cant keep to yourself... My boy See Bass just hipped me 2 Afta-1 He has that drawing the map 2 travel 2 the next level music wont you join us?
Ok so i haven't seen this since i was a wee bitty RAAD in 1990 when cant touch this was my favorite song.I have to say this video is outrageous, I would love to see a grown ass man in extra long crotch pants do the bump in 2009. Kanye this means YOU.
This song by no means is new but the idea of Eric Roberson may be to your ears.. Let me present to you "Pretty Girl" He may be my favorite R&B writer @ this very moment so peep this beauty of a song Its just music I can get with hope you can deuce.
Anyone who remembers Snoops last refreshingly retro hit song Sexual Eruption knows it was the song of last summer so waaaaaaaaaay back then my favorite producer RC remade it as only he can and [Zig Zags].(Stripes).&."Plaids" brings it to your ears for Free 99
One more gem from Metronomy about human communication without any words... *Sigh* Brilliance. I have decided once given the opportunity to tour/play/live in The UK I want an entire project produced by Metronomy. Just putting that out in the universe. Just hope it hears me....
Looking back on College Dropout this had 2 be my favorite song on that record and this video is one of the best un aired vid's by Mr. West.. I feel Mos Def's verse was honestly a perfect piece of writing. Its like listening 2 a motivational speech He could have spit it @ the Inaguration and I wouldnt have been mad ha Freeway held his own prior 2 the career ending Cassidy Battle. Speaking of which heres the video of that for those that forgot
OOOOUCH!!!
"Nigga guns dont mean a thing, if you aint got that heart 2 pull!"
Lets start by saying Edward Norton is one of my favorite Actors ever! This is one of those Spike Lee speaking through his own movies moments theres one in every film he does this one in 25th Hour miiiight be thee ultimate monolouge Although I dont agree with every word of this Its powerfully opinionation (Yes, I make up words) personified Gotta respect it. Notice how he cant wipe the "F*ck You" off the glass maybe once you say f*ck something you maaaay never be able 2 take it back. Word 2 Spike and his brand of genius.
Soooooo I'm one this whole I will only post what inspires me deal my blog will be my inspiration wall 2 the world. The only Police I get along with is the band! HA I start ever Saturday night with this joint... No one can tell me N.E.R.D. didnt get some of their musically swag from these dudes. (Odd fun fact that Jet Li's, Fist of Legend footage was the best high quality version of this song I could find on Youtube.hahahaha)
Is it ok if I play favorites? Because Metronomy can do ABSOLUTELY no wrong in my ears. They make my favorite songs words included or Not. Maybe I post 2 much of their music But its my blog I Post what I want. Please listen 4 the DEFmix aka Remix 2 this on "The Same Mixtape The Mixtape" (c) Me Coming In Fall(?) which will include words, screaming and an assortment of adlibs and Oh yea not 2 forget 2 mention the video is cool @ a park in London. Why not show how people should vibe 2 the music you make in public? comment if you enjoy.
