My Car Real Smelly

I've been listening to Crazy Duce's 2007 mixtape Anger Management like three times in a row now, or actually those parts of the mixtape datpiff shared for download... He's now the best rapper, but damn this shit sounds dirty and unfinished, unpolished in that good way you just can't manufacture. It sounds real and fucking hard.

The whole tape is filled with rawness. And the absoloute peak is what might be the rawest track ever:

Crazy Duce - Smoking Purple Kush

Check the tape out, it's on datpiff. It's East Texas and it's raw, get with it.

Peace to dude over at cb's forum who first made me aware of this.

What's Good 2009.1

If you're like me half your current playlist at any time contains of new music, preferably jams from this year. Which means every January I might have to look harder then December, obviously. This means beginning of each year I listen to a whole bunch of new records, traditionally more then any other time of the year. 2009 is no exception.

A lot of it is dope as fuck. And not so spoken on, or even noticed. So here’s the first few records you missed out on 2009, and probably the first post you read telling you what you missed out on 2009.

Chingo Bling.

Texas own Tamale King Chingo Bling has a new record/mixtape out, it might be for free download, I don’t quite remember. I downloaded it for free, I couldn’t find it on Spotify so I had to… It’s dope. And the best songs are:

Chingo Bling - 25 Deep

Chingo Bling - Rodeo-Ruff

Chingo Bling is the most hilarious dude in the game.

The Jacka & 12 Gauge Shotie.

The Jacka is always dope, and he’s got a new record out with some dude called 12 Gauge Shotie (worst rap name so far in 2009?). I only listened thru this once, while drunk and cooking as I came home from the food feast of the year, I didn’t even realize I wasn’t hungry till I had a whole taco in my hands, what a waste. But I liked the records, especially these songs:

The Jacka & 12 Gauge Shotie - Dope

The Jacka & 12 Gauge Shotie - Chop Out

It's not everyday you here Jacka get on a southern beat like this, he pulls it off no doubt.

Lil Dank.

And there’s another little Lil dude who uses a auto tuner, I think he’s from the bay. I downloaded his records on behalf of the features; Messy Marv, Lil Flip, and someone called 200% (he is obviously 100% better then himself), and on behalf on the song titles; Lookin At That Ass, Balhead Bitch and We Don’t Luv Em. Best songs are:

Lil Dank - I'll Teach Her ft Bay Way

Lil Dank - I Dont Care ft Messy Marv & Lil Flip

My Parents Hardrive Stay Gansta.

gets dissed

Looking thru my parents computer. Turns out I'd listend to pretty much the same music when I was a kid (or young teen) as I do now, or atleast the old napster-downloaded tracks on my parents harddrive suggests so... There's some jams on here!

So here's some throwbacks, jams I pretty much forgotten all about till right now, maybe some of you has aswell. Check them out.

Three Six Mafia - All Dirty Hoes Suck Dick

Three Six Mafia - Da Summa (Remix)

Classic 3/6. The first track's title pretty much sums the song up well, as any title of a song should. Shit I remember dowloading it just to see if it was for real. And La Chat or Gangsta Boo is on there...

Lil Wayne - Where You At

Tech n9ne - Yada Yada (Don Magic Juan Diss)

Random Weezy, from 500 Degreez I think. And the techa nino, god damn this is one of those diss tracks who leaves you a little bit shook just listening to it.

Trina - ICU ft Ludacris

Trick Daddy & Cee-Lo - Dro In The Wind

Pastor Troy - Vice Verca

I was more or less obsessed with these three tracks back in, eh 2001-2002 I guess, reasons to the obsessions is intense dopeness. By the way does anybody know who other than PT raps on this song?

Shit I could post 10 more tracks... Mistress by Word&Punch just shuffled it's way into my ears. Another day another post...

Sky Balla - Tycoon Status (2008)

One of the records I listened most to this year was San Francisco artist and former member of Tha Gamblaz - Sky Balla’s Tycoon Status. I didn’t post it here as soon as I discovered it was banging. I figured the dude needed as many people as possible to actually buy his record. He was up for trial for drug trafficking or something, he didn’t do well. He got sentenced to a shitload of years in jail, I don’t know how many. I just read about it on some blog.

Anyway, a few days ago I uploaded it for Simon, I had previously sent him one of the songs and he wanted to hear the rest. Would be a terrible waste not to share that link with the twelve people who check goodolelove each week (counting those who just google one of the albums I posted, download it and forget they where ever here). I’m starting to think pausing the posting for a year or however long it’s been has affected the number of readers.

This is pretty much what I told Simon about the record, and I’m supposed to be studying so I’ll just translate it and leave it like it is. After first hearing Tycoon Status back in April or maybe May, I didn’t do what I usually do when I hear a good record, listen to it five enjoyable times and then go on to more recent music. I kept listening to it the entire summer and most of the autumn. Why? It’s just a dumb motherfucker making music. He sort of reminds me of DJ Kahled really. The record is about materialism, money, the business of purchasing and selling cocaine and self love. Those are topics I can relate to (all but one). He also have a song about a girl, he declares his love and than excuses his “super-model fetish”. You gotta like that.

Other good things about the record, best described in a proper list:
1. He calls the guy who used to talk about pimping on old E-40 records and let that conversation be the intro.
2. He has a song with Hell Rell.
3. He has a song with Slick Pulla, also he sample Young Jeezy several times.
4. The guy who sung the chorus on “I got five on it” is on the album.
5. Bay love, San Quinn, E-40, Turf Talk and Mistah F.A.B. are great features. Turf Talk has the best verse on the album

Rollin Rollin Rollin We Ain't Slept In Weeks

Damn!

The Block Beataz is really doing it. I checked out a couple of more Slow Motion Soundz releases, like this Jackie Chain mixtape from this year. And a Jhi Ali mixtape from last year. This song might just be the tytest I heard all year! Just listen.

From Jackie Chain's 2008 mixtape, pic above.. I don't really know how to split the track up in two indivdual songs, so just deal with the slash (back-slash?)

Jackie Chain - Rollin (Remix)(ft Attitude & Rich Boy) / Rollin ('08 Remix)(ft Jhi Ali)

And here's the verison I found of last years Jhi Ali mixtape. I don't know why the don't let the tracks just be their own mp3s, another slash.

Jhi Ali - So Blowed / Rollin (ft Jackie Chain)

And the Diplo remix off the Hunts Vegas tape.

Jackie Chain - Rollin (ft Jhi Ali)(Diplo Remix)

I really don't know which mix I like the best. I'm feeling the one with Attitude and Rich Boy right now, it's a bit rawer, no lady singing sample, less remixed really.

Speaking of Attitude, if you get ahold of it, or if I decide to upload it, give his 1997 record a listen. It's whortwhile.

G-Side - Starshipz & Rocketz

I just found out about this album a few days ago, and the group for that matter, and it totally blew me away. The production is way cleaner and more thought thru than the typical low-budget southern hip hop I’m used to. I don’t know who’s involved with this, but it sounds like they have an experienced recording artist somewhere in the mix, how could it otherwise sound so good? Are they plain and simply this talented? Or did they get some instructions from the Paper Route Gangsta’z affiliate and big time DJ/producers Diplo&Benzi? Who knows..

Who are G-Side even? I’ll have to google it, hold on.. Yes, luckily, they got their whole story and background up on myspace. It’s a duo consisting of ST 2 Lettaz and Young Clovah. They grew up in Lil Athens, Alabama, and they seam to stay in Huntsville. They both grew up in poverty and all kinds of misery, homelessness and family drug abuse and such. Then they became rappers, released one joint previous to Starshipz & Rocketz. Apparently G-Side previously worked with a producer called CP, and for this record, C.P. team up with Mali Boi to become the prodcution team The Block Beataz, which produced this entire record. Great work! I will go search the internets for more of their work right now. Until now I've given Diplo&Benzi most of the credit for the PRG'z songs I've heard. This record shows these producers are fully potent of making great music, without the help of hipster DJ's.

Anyway, this is one of the best albums I’ve heard this year. The fact that I even keep listening to it when Scarface just leaked, San Quinn and E-40 is out, Draped Up & Chipped Out 3 is on the internet, and still I keep listening to G-Side! Do yourself a favor and check this out. This is the kind of experience that makes me still check out music from artists I’m not already familiar with. Every now and then you stumble upon gold, like Playboy Tre earlier and G-Side now. Enjoy!

The Block Beataz interview

Si se puede. Not me doh.

So I was writing one of them exams this Friday. Marketing. They basically teach you what have worked, in terms of marketing, in past campaigns. Which isn’t really that difficult, but since I felt compelled to actually memorize the methods used, in order not the fail the exam – I decided not to write a music blog post that week neither. That’s the excuse for that week. I’m not really writing anything worth considering now neither, but I’ll still post it, since it contains what you actually want – an by my opinion underrated and mostly unheard musical effort.

While studying I noticed music can be an disturbing factor, if you choose to listen to music who will take over your mind and make you want to dance or feel good or something like that. Learning is about suffering, and calmness. The suffering comes to you by it self, the calmness you have to create, or either you end up unlearned and with a student loan.

It’s my firm belief the people of Tennessee is the most learnt in the universe, because they by my taste make the best music to study to. Especially pioneer rap and hip hop creator DJ Spanish Fly. His music flows by in the background, I can either just feel good with it bumping or, even better – enjoy it while studying. Difficult to explain really, it makes me want to dance, but yet I don’t, I choose to learn. Like learning was more important then dancing or something.

Anyhow, I’m not going to pretend I’m not writing this while not drunk. I got home from the bar thirtyish minutes ago, five songs in itunes maybe, and instead of going to bed I wrote this. So, that’s why you’ll have problems finding any info on the artist who’s music I choose to share in this post, and rather find yourself reading about the reactions his music creates in my mind. Also I don’t now much about DJ Spanish Fly, he’s supposedly a Memphis legend and the guy who did what Paul, SkaFace and such individuals done before they did it. Just listen. Vibe with it.
