Music Monday 7.25.11

Hey shoppers...I've missed you.
I know there has been a TON of dope music out since we last did a Music Monday, but what you gonna do?
Lets just start where we left off...

1) SBTRKT ft Little Dragon-"Wildfire (remix ft. Drake)"
This song right here? This song right here? Quite legit.
A super dope collaboration.
SBTRKT's album just came out late last month(Dope)..
AND Little Dragon's album drops tomorrow.
What more can you ask for?


2) Jhene Aiko -"Stranger"
Remember this girl from the being around B2k back in the day?
They claimed she was Lil Fizz's cousin, but that was a lie. Womp.
Even more juicy, she has like a 4 year old by Omarion's brother O'Ryan.
Anyway, her mixtape Sailing Souls is quality and this is one of my favorite songs from it.
Please get familiar.


3) Amy Winehouse-"In My Bed"
In memory of Amy Winehouse. R.I.P.
This is one of my favorite songs from her.
She samples a nice little Nas track and does it proper justice.


4) Lil Wayne-"Racks"
This song gets me hype as the hell!
Check out his new mixtape "Sorry 4 the wait."
He comes pretty correct.


5. Morcheeba-"Undress Me Now"
Sexy time.


Cheers,
LMo


1) Amy Winehouse-"Take The Box"
This is one of my favorite Amy Winehouse tracks, performed live by the late, great artist.
R.I.P Amy, my heart goes out to her family and friends.


2) Nina Simone-"My Man's Gone Now (DJ Wally remix)"
Soul stirring.


3) Friendly Fires-"Pala"
Friendly Fires, and their latest album, "Pala", has been one of my summer soundtracks.


4) Kendrick Lamar-"Hol' Up"
The lyricism, the horns, the warmth of this track...
Feels so good, don't you agree?


5) Ellie Goulding & Daft Punk-"No Guns and Horses, Just Make Love (Monsieur Adi mash-up)"
You're so worth it, you are.


Peace,
Jai

Jay-Z and Frank Ocean


Aside from 'Ye and Jay-Z collaborating on their upcoming album "Watch the Throne", I'm hella excited about them featuring Frank Ocean on 2 of the tracks.

Frank Ocean is such a talented youngster, and I'm excited that they decided to work together. Kudos.

Ocean has written songs for Justin Beiber, Pharrell, Lil Wayne, John Legend, Brandy, Beyonce, and Nas. So he's had plenty of experience with the big wigs.
I thoroughly enjoyed "Nostalgia, Ultra."

"Watch the Throne" is scheduled to hit stores August 2nd.
And trust I will be taking a listen as soon as I can.

Here's the official tracklist:
01 No Church In The Wild f. Frank Ocean
02 Lift Off f. Beyoncé
03 Ni66as In Paris
04 Otis f. Otis Redding
05 Gotta Have It
06 New Day
07 Prime Time
08 Who Gon’ Stop Me
09 Murder To Excellence
10 Welcome To The Jungle
11 Sweet Baby Jesus f. Frank Ocean
12 Love You So f. Mr. Hudson
13 Illest Motherfucker Alive [Bonus]
14 H.A.M. [Bonus]
15 That’s My Bitch [Bonus]
16 The Joy f. Curtis Mayfield [Bonus]

Do yall think the album is gonna be the best thing since sliced bread? Or is it just being hyped up because its Kanye and Jay-Z?

I already have my opinion...
Excuse me while I go Hammy.


Tallyho,
LMo

Happy, happy. Joy, joy.

If you were born anywhere between the years of 1980 and 1994, you may want to pay attention because...



90s Nick is back!
*booty dances with my hands on my knees* (in warp speed)

After nearly 15 million of us joined all those "I Love 90s Nick" groups on Facebook, interns over at Viacom finally convinced company bigwigs to give us what we all really want, "The 90s Are All That" (See also: our version of Nick@Nite).

Unfortunately, not every show will be reintroduced, but according to The New York Times, TeenNick says, "Facebook feedback will influence which other shows it rotates into the block". So if your favorite show is missing from the line-up, be vocal, and you may see changes.

For an entire program line-up, or anything else related to "The 90s Are All That" click here.

Which show are you most excited to see?


Peace,
Jai


P.S. To this day, whenever I see a bright pink & navy blue color combo, a red & white bed quilt, listen to Pearl Jam or stumble upon a mini alligator, I think of Clarissa Darling.
I was ride or die for Clarissa, and she was ride or die for me. *tear*

P.P.S. I really hope they bring some of the old bumpers back as well.
Come on, man...this is fucking creativity.

Is this love?

This is the BEST cover I've heard of Bob Marley's "Is this love?"
Bilal makes absolute love to this song. (I adore him btw!)
And the amazing musicians take it to another level completely.

Is this love?


Peace,
LMo
