FRESH OF THE PRESSES

Fresh off the presses does not mean it is the newest thing....its just the newest thing to me ( the motif of the blog being me you see). Anyway it seems that more and more people (artist) are doing trailers for just about anything (Lupe for Lasers and Cudi for a Kid Named Cudi Mixtape). Now this guy Michael Sterling Eaton has one for his upcoming mixtapes. I don't know who he is but I'm bout to do my research cuz *said like Kanye* "got one of the great rappers of ALL TIME!! ALL TIME!!!" on it. DANTE SMITH FOLKS!!!!! anyway anyway anyway...here is the trailer/ video for White Drapes.... You should like this D. L.a.w. (lol)

Song of the Day - Days Go By

Yo I remember when this song came out. I was def in high school. Its crazy how little time it takes for a track to become a slick throwback. Anyway I first saw it in this car commercial.



Dave Chappelle then made a skit about it.



"that dancing is making my penis soft". lol oh thats classic Dave just classic. Well I thought the commercial was cool when I was younger. Anyway let me just drop the song of the day which Days Go By by Dirty Vegas. ~whispered: i like this video~




ADDED BONUS- an acoustic version . I am such a good person.

Artist of the Week- STS

STS is short for Sugar Tongue Slim. You may have noticed that my song of the days thus far have not been rap songs. I like more than rap. But I like rap, especially good rap. Add this cat falls into the realm of good rap. 2006 and part of 2009 I stayed on rap mixtapes. Good or bad i was downloading it for the most part. My criteria for the if it was an artist I didn't know about if I liked their cover I would download it. The was the first thing that I ever saw of STS was the cover above. As a matter of fact if it wasn't for this cover I never would have listened to it. It isn't the greatest cover I've ever seen, but it stuck (like R. Kelly in a day care) in a sea of covers that basically looked uninspired. Anther thing that made me go ahead was his name. With the name Sugar Tongue Slim I assumed he was a pimp, so at least it would be funny. Needless to say I gave it a listen. I was hooked on the 1st verse on the first track of his Demand More Mixtape . His roots are from the South (Atlanta to be exact). He is cool with the roots. I saw him perform recently with The Roots when I was in D.C.. HE RIPPED IT!!!!! But what do I know I'm a fan. I'll let you decide. *WARNING- HE IS A CUSSER! SO WHEN YOU BANG THIS WIT YOUR MOMZ U HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!*
I will be posting different cuts of his this week, but the 1st posting is very important. I was once told if you want to learn about new artist get there newest stuff then work back. So I that light I will post the most recent thing of his , which just so happens to have come out last week. It has Cassidy and RL (from Next) on it. If you don't like this song ( cuz I aint head over heels over it) just give him a couple listens and you just may change your mind.

Intro

When I started this blog, I really had no idea what to do the blog about. So I have doing random things with a lean towards music. My cousin B does a blog about things that annoy him, which is makes since because he loves talking bout random crap that pisses him off (check out T.hank G.od I.m F.rom T.ennessee). My man Terrell loves spots so you can assume his blog The P.O.L.R. Express is mainly about sports. So I asked myself what do I love? I came up with me. I looooove me (you know the way Mario loves toys (or Gucci Mane or which ever one of them that said “I loooooove Fisher-Price”(lol :-) )). So I guess this blog is about me and the stuff that I like. So random crap that I want to put up is what I will put up. If you don’t like it …..so what? That’s life. F.y.i. I like music so most post will be musically related. But I like other things too liiiiiike fooood, clothes, women, movies, taking pics (even if I am not that great at it), shopping ( as long as it doesn’t involve a lot of walking…but driving is okay), etcetera etcetera (you get the picture). also i think imitation is the best form of flattery. I say that to say I think my blogging taste will and is evolving. Expect change and if I see something another blogger is doing that I like ima bite *kanye shrug*. So a bunch of random things, but mostly music I what you can expect from this blog. also Oh and I use a lot of hyperlinks to either illustrate what or who I am talking about . so if you come across one go ahead and click go head doow it doow it click it doow it….. well anyway I’m done with the intro ( well something like an intro). And before I finish let me post this lil thing on what I am feeling this second and that is this big ole bowl of Chocolate Cheerios (they are what’s up (they kinda taste like Cocoa Krispies)), and this chick from Prison Break Sofia (Daney Garcia) from season 3. She is What’s Up!!! (Gretchen aint bad either. The homicidal crazy makes her a lil hot) lol.

SONG OF THE DAY- Caterpillar Playground

after the "The Great (Ohio) Adventure" was over and the rental car was returned, i made a horrific discovery.....i had left my iPod in the car. i did everything i could to recover it but i ended up without my beloved companion (i did however develop a distrust for rental car cleaners..in turn grouping them with wutever racial, stereotypical, or cultural group u may or may not trust. u know wut i mean... like the phrase i've been "gyped" or "jewed" simply came outta no where. and uncle ruckus was onto something on the first episode of the first season of boondocks....o and wut did Rodney King teach us?....what i am tying to say is i put the guys who cleaned the rental car i used in the same boat as shifty characters)*DISCLAIMER- the views of this author my or my not be based on fact.simply because he writes it, it does not mean he believes it. Come to your own conclusions. and if he makes u mad...STOP READING!!!!* so because i lost my iPod i had to do something i had not had to do consistently for years.....LISTEN TO THE RADIO...there is nothing on the radio. but i had to made lemonade so i rediscovered a lil radio nugget....college radio. and boy i love it. the song of today is one i discovered on Vandy's college radio station WRVU. its from a band called Nurses. don't know to much about them...i think they are from portland, or. ...oh and they made song of the day for npr last year (i like npr...its relaxing). anyway here is Caterpillar Playground by Nurses

SONG OF THE DAY- Freak Out

john legend....the name is cool for one.....when i 1st heard him i was lying on my bed in my dorm room chillaxing ( if the spelling is wrong and u attempt to correct it in a comment u r a L7 ....it is a made up word) and i was listening to him off of the "kenye west jeanius level musik" hosted by akademiks and i am like "who is this dude?" i was like he has the coolest/most unique voice i have ever heard( the next month i discovered anthony hamilton and ended up spending spending like 4 hours listening only to the 3 song i had found on on limewire (or was i using aires then?) anyway he gave john legend the competition for coolest voice i had heard up til then). so i was early on john legend on a lot of peoples standards but TOTALLY missed the john stephens years. but i feel i am redeeming myself today with this track. this is a a rare john stephens track that i am sure is new to most people. my compulsion to be ahead of the curve as much as possible musically has been satisfied (somewhat) with this one. so i submit for your approval freak out.....

SONG OF THE DAY- In the Space

so monday i say the jay-z video "on to the next one" and i'll just say i was bothered. the video is creepy and freaky and i am not one easily creeped of freaked....but that video is for another post. the thing is however this song is connected to jay. it was sampled from a single from "the blueprint 3". my homie clay put me onto it( if u get a blog clay i will put up ur link to it beside your name) and i just wanted to give him props for the discovery. anyway the song is called "in the space" by janko nilovic and dave sucky (pause).....enjoy

SONG OF THE DAY (maybe)

so in an effort to post something more often i want to do a song of the day. i will post stuff that I like or stuff i am feeling at the time.

so today for the maiden voyage of the song of the day (or week as it may become) i'm going to go with a favorite song of mine....i went to huntsville today to see Cornel West do the chapel at my alma mater Oakwood University. i met up wit some friends and as we discussed it left me in a SENTIMENTAL MOOD......
