Introduction

I couldn't find the song I named this blog after on youtube. This is off the same beat tape and has a mix added to the end of it which would make for a good introduction to some of Dilla's greatest songs if you aren't up on them already.Dilla Mix

Basically I am going to post music videos, album reviews, mixtapes, link to great stuff I see elsewhere on the internet for new and classic material.

The types of music which this will revolve around range from Soulquarians, Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, Roc Marciano, and other classic songs from any genre.

Currently I am listening to Timbo King's From Babylon To T1mbukt2, and I highly recommend people who are fans of NYC style hip hop to check it out. I copped it this past summer but am idiotically just getting to explore it.

Yesterday I was checking out Kool G Rap's Riches, Royalty and Respect and it's better than you would expect. Really much better than anyone could reasonably expect from someone of his age. To those who think rappers cannot age gracefully, I think this is exhibit one of how stupid of an assertion that really is. If anything, as they get older and wiser, their pen game grows stronger. Not to say people haven't fallen off, but when you hear a song like Nas' "Nasty", you'll know exactly why I still check for the OG's latest.
