Alton Ellis ”I’m Still In Love With You Girl”

Oh so Sean Paul remade this? Thank you, Youtube…or was I supposed to know that already?

Been taking alot of public transport since I got to the Chi but the few times I do get behind the wheel of a car I’ve always got Krza on the iPod.

I’m really just posting this to document how Ludracris’ tears up chicken wings from their head to their toes…or something like that.

The Breakup Song, Wale, DJ Omega, More About Nothing Mixtape

How could you go wrong with Wale, Seinfeld and a Stevie sample?  I rest my case.

No offense to Wale but I actually think my favorite part about this song is Constanza’s opening, “It’s Not You It’s Me!” rant.  Gets me every time.

*”Shades,” Diddy-Dirty Money Feat Lil Wayne, Bilal, Justin Timberlake & James Fauntleroy

“You ever made love on marmelade?” ~ Diddy

It’s hilarious to me how serious he is about this question.

Diddy always sneaks up on me though.  As I’ve remarked on this blog before, I never think I’m gonna like his projects but they tend to grow on me.  ”Press Play” got steady play in my college apartment when it dropped. In the right mood, “Last Train To Paris” seems likes it’ll get the same treatment.

*Corniness Warning: this song contains lyrics of questionable quality over an infectious beat.

My man Drake is stepping up to the plate. So I might have to stop screaming that best thing.

~Weezy, Vibe Magazine

Is LIL WAYNE conceding what his jibberish has always made obvious? Maybe I’ll never have to make that 3 page blog post on why he’s so not GOAT public after all (I know, who would read that anyway)

Jackie Wilson aka Mr. Excitement

I definitely see why they called him that after youtubin’ him for a while.

I’m JUST hearing Jackie Wilson for the first time. MJ dedicated his Thriller Grammy for album of the year to him.  When Pac mentioned him in that Thugz Mansion verse I was like, “Ya, Sam Cooke was dope…who’s the other guy?”

I’m admitting this because from time to time I might say something about music, specifically hip hop.  Just know that I, Odinaka “OD” Ezeokoli, don’t know shit about music! So take my statements on the subject with a grain of salt. I know what I like and that’s about it.  Most things I like are what friends and others refer me to. Please feel free to enlighten this brother.  If you’ve found something new, send it my way.  If you know some old heads that made timeless pieces, send it my way.  I’m open to all things…doesn’t mean I’ll like it tho ;-P.

When I say I don’t know shit about music, I’m being sincere (movies too but that’s another blog).  So hit me up, my FB, Twitter, email, etc, are all to the right of my page, better yet I got comment boxes, haha.  I need a renaissance or an intervention—whatever works.

Other people I’ve been introduced to this year, The Alan Parsons project, Pink Floyd, (heard but never listened), Brittany Bosco, Black Spade and others I can’t remember now.

Put me on something.

PS. Shout-out to my newest followers, Iggz. and whomshallifear. Welcome to the fam!

And to everybody that follows me you are much appreciated.  And to those I follow, keep posting cuz I wouldn’t have a tumblr w/out y’all.

PPS What are you bumping in your Ipod/walkman/record player right now?

Today is a perfect day for U-N-I and a bike ride
