Wiz Khalifa-"Say Yeah" (2009)

Say YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH!


Wiz Khalifa - Say Yeah [New] by Yannicklord
Do i need to say anything about this one? I can't believe this song is from '09. That already seems ancient. The original Alice Deejay track was released in America in 1999. Sure sounds like it. Girl Talk uses some of these Wiz vocals on a track off his Feed the Animals album over my favorite Underworld jam. Listen if you want:

Pharoah Monch-"The Grand Illusion" (2011)

This song samples King Crimson's title track from In the Court of the Crimson King (1969) in a most major way.

From his recently released new album W.A.R. (We Are Renegades):
Citizen Cope aka Clarence Greenwood (no relation to Jonny Greenwood) sings the chorus.

The Washington Post did a large feature on Cope in early 2002, calling him "the city's most soulful export since Marvin Gaye." (Wikipedia.org)

Pictureplane - "Gothstar" (2009)

This post is a few weeks old but here it is: So my head felt like it was being blown off when the door girl at Hailey's told us the cover was $30 each for admission to see Pictureplane, Nite Jewel, and Gayngs on Sunday night[3/13/11/] (sorry, we missed locals Peopleodian). Thank goodness Pictureplane (who had missed his original flight) was able to perform, helping to make the show worth my hard earned scrilla'.


My first introduction to Pictureplane was in person at his warehouse/DIY space/cool venue Rhinoceropolis in Denver, CO while i was on tour with my friend, Dan. He was wearing the skinniest of the skinny black jeans i ever seent and a sick black XL Nirvana happy face t-shirt with the sleeves cut off. (The bathroom up in that place is one for the books). He was unapologetically listening to 90s-sounding dance music and putting up plastic silver "party" adornments on the decrepit walls. The room soon filled up with college kids, burners, boozers-the kind of people with which i generally get along. Needless to say it was one of the most fun shows on this trip that took me all the way to the Pacific Northwest.

Here's the original Fleetwood Mac song sampled throughout the above track (thanks JG):

Madonna-an early photograph

One of my best friends was called a "Madonna F*****(gay slur)". This one's for him.

Sorry i can't figure out who the photographer is.

Rick Ross ft. Wiz Khalifa & Currency-"Super High remix" (2010)

I heard a burned Wiz Khalifa compact disc on the way to SXSW that my homeboy left in my ride(possibly along with his keys). We had too much fun seeing Joan of Arc, Nite Jewel, J Mascis, the end of a song by Dum Dum Girls, Fergus & Geronimo, Big Boi, !!!, The Dead Milkmen, K-Fal and Katie DJing, rolling in the topper, hanging in a judge's domicile, AND chilling with another bro!



This other major Wiz single i may post later.

Kate Bush-"Hounds of Love" (1985)

KRS-One-"My Philosophy"(1988)

Let's re-direct into some positive hip-hop after all that gangsta rap, G-Funk and beefin' in the streets. (After these 2 test grades i received tonight in my government class, i need all the positivity i can get).

KRS-One stands for Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everything. I wonder what it doesn't reign supreme over? It was a tough call as to which KRS (or Boogie Down Productions)video to post, but ultimately i decided on "My Philosophy" instead of "Stop the Violence" (1984). It's interesting how in 1992 (after receiving criticism for being too preachy) the usually conscious minded BDP released an album titled Sex & Violence. Who does he think he is- The Exploited?

It is too sick that he alludes to the NWA song "Gangsta Gangsta" (1988) when he drops "It's not about a salary, it's all about reality". Yuh.
