K'naan - In the Beginning

In honor of the passing of a great season, I thought it would be best to post one of my favorite ski videos. Now there is a motive for posting this video on this blog, the song. K'naan is known internationally now for wavin' flag but In the Beginning is my favorite song from the Somalian. Don't you worry, I had linked the song to the post so you can pick it up and jam out to it.

Stayin' Hypnotized Like Biggie

The latest song to be played on my Ipod is a mash of Notorious BIG's Hypnotized and the Beegees Staying Alive. This is a jam that transcends any barriers of music. Who could ever think that THE whitest band in history could possibly jam with the rap legend? I found out that it is possible. I don't remember exactly where I found this song, but I can tell you it is a song that needs to be on all Ipods.

Help spread the word about the blog!

Here is the link for the song:

Weezy in the Office!

Here is an amazing mash of the Office theme song and Lil Wayne's Hustla Musik.

It is a simple mash, but sometimes that is all you need.

Barbara - Pursuit of Happiness

This is a "folky" remix of Kid Cudi's Pursuit of Happiness performed by a electro band, Barbara. The song sounds almost Jack Johnson. It is smooth and rhythmic. This is a great song to chill to. I imagine relaxing at my lakehouse to this song.

Who doesn't like folk covers of great rap songs?

Enjoy!

Chiddy Bang

Chiddy Bang is a young "rap" group from Philadelphia. I quote rap because the group is different. There is a rapper, Proto, and a dj, Xaphoon Jones. I have read blogs about there being four members, but I think that Chiddy Bang is now only the two. Xaphoon Jones does a great job remixing old beats, as well as pumping out some original rhythms. Proto has a killer flow. He usually raps about making it to the top or how sick his flow is. Nonetheless, Chiddy Bang is one of my favorite rappers to listen to right now.

The only mixtape I have been able to find is The Swelly Express. This mixtape is definitely one that will always been on my ipod. I listen to it every time I travel.

Here are some of my favorite songs from Chiddy Bang

Kid Cudi - Cudderisback

Alright Y'all

I have decided that all of the music blogs and websites I follow do not give a consistent level of hip hop craftsmanship. I have volunteered to give the world an amazing blog all about the wonders of the hip hop/rap world. Enjoy!

This is a video from Kid Cudi's blog of a jam! I found out about this song from a friend. It can be described as a "playful" beat and rap. It really captures the essence of the Moon Man. I wish that the band that plays at the beginning could come in and out more often.

The link below is the song in mp3 form. Enjoy!
