Strictly 4 My Hipstaz

January 30, 2010

One of Ninjasonik’s most anticipated mixtapes is out titled “Strictly 4 My Hipstaz”

Duck Sauce – aNYway (Ninjasonik’s Boosted Hot Sauce Mix)
Udachi & Jubilee – Paypur (Ninjasonik Remix)
Major Lazer vs. Ninjasonik – Pon De Floor vs. Somebody Gonna Get Pregnant
Major Lazer – Pon De Floor (Ninjasonik Remix feat. Tasleems and MNDR)
Johnny Nelson & Ease Da Man – Watch Yo Girl
Theophilus London – Humdrum Town
Ninjasonik – She’s My Pharmacist
Q Lazarus – Goodbye Horses
Abstract Truth – (We Had) A Thing (Matty’s Body & Soul Remix)
Kenna – Say Goodbye To Love (Ninjasonik Remix)
Treasure Fingers – Cross The Dancefloor (Ninjasonik Remix)
AC Slater feat Ninjasonik – Take You
Ninjasonik & Kicks Like A Mule – It’s Ok (Extended Mix)
Mr. Starcity – Welcome To Starcity
Ninjasonik feat Ease Da Man – NOFUNFORUGLYGIRLS
Memberz Only – Fuck Outta Here
Johnny Nelson feat Ninjasonik – Put Em In A Bodybag

I was upset upon downloading it that it was just one big ass track. I felt like I downloaded a 1997 reggae/dancehall mixtape instead of a 2010 Ninjasonik mixtape.

Anywho, the mixtape is pretty good. Pon De Floor vs. Somebody Gonna Get Pregnant is my favorite song on the mixtape being that they took two of my favorite songs to dance to in 09 and mixed that shit. Real cool.

Nola Darling

January 22, 2010

Just finished watching She’s Gotta Have It. There hasnt been one Spike Lee Joint that I wouldnt watch over and over and over again.

Here’s my favorite part of the movie.
The only scene in the movie thats actually in color. The rest of the film is in black and white.


Nola-Vocals

There is one part of the film where Jamie Overstreet was catching the train to Nola Darling’s apartment. Instead of filming Jamie actually riding the train, Spike Lee used a series of blurred high contrast still frames of with jazz in the background. It was brilliant.

What I loved most about She’s Gotta Have It is the characters are depicted as intelligent and somewhat upscale ubanites and the beauty it brought to the borough of Brooklyn. As a female the overall message had me captured.

Black Ice

I’ve been watching a lot of Black Ice’s def poetrey jams on Youtube lately and decided to post two of my favorite poems.

“I challenge you to find something you’re really willing to die for, and then live for”

WORD.

As Normal As He Can Get

January 15, 2010

Most of you might know by now that Im a serious, serious, Charles Hamilton fan. Almost every project he’s put out has at least one of my favorite songs that I can either relate to or just fuck with.

For Normalcy, I really cant relate to any of the songs. I mean its WORTH a download and WORTH a listen. It dropped December 28th, 2009.
Normalcy was Hamilton’s anxiousely awaited comeback and he stated he tried to make the project seem as normal as possible so maybe people would stop calling him “weird” and understand where hes coming from.

I dont feel like he has to prove shit to anyone. His devoted fans, (like me) will always fuck with him.

My favorite tracks on the mixtape are ‘Baby Says I Want’ & ‘New Music From Charles Hamilton’. The beat in ‘Baby Says I Want’ is fucking bananas and I like ‘New Music From Charles Hamilton’ because he tells all the internet haters and doubters off.


Download Normalcy.

I Am Love’s Soldier!

SIMPLY AMAZING!

I’ll Pass

January 14, 2010

On a serious note, I really fuck with Buffalo Exchange.

All the overpriced American Apparel shit that I want, I really have to fight with myself and come up with a proper & logical excuse on why not to buy it.

But now that I’ve realized that Buffalo Exchange has so much fucking American Apparel new & old I’m really going to start messing with BF more.

Bought this extremely cute blue cropped sweater from there today for like 14 dollars and I know good and damn well it originally priced probably double that price.

Didn’t like the way my stomach looked on the last explaining the big ‘ol black block covering it.

Haven’t done any thrifting in Williamsburg in a while now. Everytime I go though I visit Beacons Closet and I never seem to buy much of anything. That place is too much for me. I feel overwhelmed with clothing and colors and boots and colors and bags and colors and old things and colors and the associates have crappy attitudes. Fuck that store.


Theophilus London
finally dropped the video to his single Humdrum Town.

Im not going to be one of those die hard fans that like every thing an artist does JUST BECAUSE. Im not going to lie at first I was like what the fuck is this but Im so used to lame videos and having the artists rap or sing in front of a white screen with no concept to the video whatsoever.

I should be ashamed of getting used to videos like that but Im actually digging the whole karaoke club concept. The entire video is nothing short of who Theophilus really is.

Official JB3

The official video for Jesse Boykins III ‘Itis’ debuted 2 days ago via CentricTV.com. The single is off the very amazing and latest album The Beauty Created.

For those that dont know Jesse Boykins III you could find him featured on Theophilus London’s track ‘Humdrum Town’ and many songs off This Charming Mixtape including ‘The Drug’ & ‘Cold Pillow’.

His EP The Beauty Created has been one of my FAVORITE albums of 2009 even though it dropped late 2008. I’m a deep fan of neo-soul and soul in general and its great to listen to and see the rise of such a good soul singer such as Jesse.

Just yesterday I had to convince myself that it really wasnt groupie material (which it probably is) to Facebook IM ‘artists’ because I really wanted to let Jesse know how much I loved the video. The whole entire vibe, the classic jazzy club smoke, & the emotion in his voice just tops it all off…but I did it anyways and simply told him his video was timeless and he appreciated it.

On a serious tip, keep an eye out of Jesse. I know I am.
