Forever and Ever

Weird video. Hot singer. She's Swedish. I'm moving to Stockholm, soon.

September - Cry for You




Weird Video. German group. Germany after Sweden.

Fragma - Tocas Miracle (Inpetto Mix) - long version. I like extended songs.




Sad video. Sad Song. Great Song. I know she's really waiting for me. (sky's not falling anytime soon, baby) Dutch trance collective. Amsterdam is next.

Dash Berlin - Till the Sky Falls Down

Baby Wooon't you Come and Hooooold Me?

It's Friday. It's sunny out. I'm going to the city to get my party on this evening.
Work? Naw, man. Shit's real. Really real. Right Coopshow?

I bumped this on my way to work this morning with the windows down. Let's just say it turned a few mom-taking-toddlers-to-preschool heads.

A while back I posted another song by ODahl, called "Your Arms Around Me." This next song is by the Swedish producer as well, and is really very similar to Arms Around Me. Maybe he just likes that notion, or maybe he just isn't trying to do anything else. Who knows? Who cares?

This is a feel good song, if not a great one. And feeling good is where it's at, as far as I'm concerned.

So, baby, come and hold me. We can feel good together.

ODahl - Hold Me

Rusko ft. Amber Coffman: Hold On (Sub Focus Remix)

My favorite song for the next uncertain period of time. May it's reign be glorious.

V. It's a movement...

Mellow out. Feel good.

Drake: Find Your Love (Prod. Kanye)

Do like the chorus.

Like No Other

Look up in the sky...

No Ceilings!

Oh goddamnit now the fuckin sky showin!

I been writin a lot recently

But then I stopped writin

Now I'm like lightnin

And you ain't Vince Young

So don't clash with the Titan

Nas and Damian Marley ft. LilWEEEZY & Joss Stone: My Generation

This Game track reminds of me of Wouldn't Get Far

The Game: Shake

No Ceilings!

Dedication 2

Life can change its direction
Even if you didn't plan it
Worst thing you can do is panic
Use it to your advantage
Avoid insanity, manage
To conquer every obstacle
Make impossible possible
Even when winning's illogical
Losing's still far from optional.



And sometimes, when the direction changes, we need to sit back and unwind. You know, to collect or neglect thoughts. Or maybe just not think at all. Whatever.

Point is, we all need that time to ourselves. To close our eyes and just let the music play.

The following are dedicated right back at djShizzybaby, because I know his listening experience will probably be very similar to mine.

That experience is why I enjoy Trance. The right song with the right sounds will put you in the right place because it quite literally puts you (or at least your mind) in a trance-like state. And such state is perfect post-swisher and perfect for just letting go.

Don't be afraid of the Trance label if it is an avenue you usually don't walk down, and make sure to give the songs a minute or so's chance - they take a little while to get into (which is half the point).

Find some headphones or speakers with some bass, or don't. It'll still work. In the meantime, I'll keep searching for some more links for you, and we can build our "Sit Back and Watch the World go By" playlist together.

Mr. Lawnmower

The lack of Wayne has left a hole in my heart, there is still a lot of capacity to love no doubt, but suddenly a great deal of joy I was used to experiencing steadily for 7 years is not around as much. I'm not sad or anything because I know it'll only make it so much sweeter when it returns, and I love how the occasional leak has me giddy like a lil kid.

Plus, I can only do today, so I'm gonna do today.

The Game ft. Like Father, Like Son: Everything Red

I look forward to filling some of that void with one of my lady loves. My favorite thing about _M_I_A_ is that if I listen to her a lot, I really get the sense that she's not trying to be weird or different for the sake of it, she just is, and that realness drives me to love her music. This track is not poppy, but if you pick up it's vibe, it's absolutely incredible. The video is V also.

_M_I_A_: Born Free

A Dedication

A dedication is an interesting concept. I think the real meaning only comes across when you have created somethng yourself and are then saying you made it for someone in particular

So, with that in mind, I guess this isn't a dedication so much as a hey, while I didn't make this, if I had, it would have been dedicated to you

The first is to Thor because when I think about T.I., a lot of things cross my mind, but one that always does is Thor and his beautiful Nordic self

The Dream also once again demonstrates why he is the "Radio Killaaa"

The combination of the two

Takes me to a place that only exists in the mind

And can only be reached through

A

State

Of

Euphoria.

The-Dream ft. TI: Love Again

The next is to a one Richard Squeezer. The reason being, we are about to begin a journey in which we attempt to do something that, if we were to tell one about our desires and aspirations, the majority would tell us we don't stand a chance

In this song, the chorus delivers the supposed reality that many of us witness and can identify with, but the beat, verse and mood indicate that despite the supposed impossibilities we are presented with, if we choose to be blissfully ignorant in our belief of the contrary and pursue our dreams...they will become our reality

B.o.B ft. Janelle Monae: The Kids

If you don't feel like you are Richard Squeezer or Thor, and you're like what the fuck. Fear not, this is dedicated to you. The point here is, there's nothing profound about this at all, in fact, it has subject matter that a lot of people would happily point out to you is very played out, nevertheless, there's a lot of feeling in it. Since it is not, please allow me to be profound

Treat this as a test about what your outlook is towards things that are new to you

If when you are approached with something foreign to you, and your immediate desire is always to try and find a reason to love it, you will love this song and immediately enjoy it for what it is, and, in my opinion, have the right outlook on life and are destined for great things as only good can come from following your heart

If, on the other hand, you are looking to critique, are looking for flaws, you can find them. And then you can say it's not good. And you don't like it. And it sucks. And you don't understand why or how someone could like it. And you don't like when people say they like it. And you argue with people who ignorantly dance around loving it.

I will let you in on a secret... you are a HATER and more than anyone, this track is dedicated to you. Don't fret though, there is hope, you can always find flaws or faults in anything, no one's perfect. Let love into your heart, it's like a drug, I promise

Baby Boy ft. Yung LA: Stuntin

Happy belated 420 errbody

I've Loved you a Long Time

A love song, by all stretches of the imagination. Of course, perhaps that isn't saying much, considering every book ever written and every song ever made is a love story. But who's counting.

This one's a little bit more on the "love lost" side of the spectrum unfortunately, but is lovely to listen to and provocative nonetheless.

Does it Offend You, Yeah? - Epic Last Song (Lifelike Remix)

Oops, I forgot to mention it's a Lifelike remix. Perhaps that will assuage any doubts you might have had. It's definitely one to sit/lie down and think to, ya know? And if you have one of those "special someones," this might be a track for his/her CD.

At least I'd put it on there.

Up up and Away,

Thor

Mos Dub

This is a match made in heaven. I'm biased because these Mos Def tracks have sentimental value to me, but I think they help expose the brilliance of Mos Def's lyrics and vocal delivery with another vibe

This is Mos Def & Kweli with Desmond Dekker & The Aces. Any hip hop head knows that Kweli & Mos killed this so hard, hearing it on this beat will hopefully put a serious smile on your face and cause you to uncontrollably start nodding your head.

Mos Dub: History Town

The Mos Def track Mathematics from Black On Both Sides was so intelligent and unabashedly personal that it always stood out amongst an album composed purely of special tracks. This remix does it justice.

Mos Dub: In My Math

Also, to add to the intrigue surrounding Pony Pony Run Run...

Hey You (Algeronics Remix)

Walking on a Line

I originally told Richard "JK" Squeezer that this song was about a 6.5-7 on a 1-10 scale.

You can go ahead and chalk that one up on the long list of reasons why I'm going going bonkers. This shit's definitely in the 8-9 range.

"C'mon let's go back in time" Goes very well with the retro feeling of the song.
A love song, a happy song, something to drive on your Friday afternoon to with the windows (or top) down.

Because everything we do is determined by walking on lines. And every line we walk - between this and that - is a fine line.

So walk this line with me, and let's see where we can go, no?

Pony Pony Run Run - Walking on a Line (Lifelike Extended Remix)

Yeah, another Lifelike tune. What did you expect.

Thanks Discodust. You da bomb!

#kushandorangejuice

Kush & OJ. Breakfast of champions.

Wiz Khalifa: Kush & OJ

Wale Ovechkin: Break Up Song

Is KiD CuDi the best at humming in the history of hip hop thus far?

Rich Hill ft. KiD CuDi: Won't You Tell Me

@DalaiLama

Bobby Ray was confusing me of late, but now I understand, feelin a little down. Sometimes you feel doubt or anxiety on your path to be great, adversity, there are more sunny days to be had.

B.o.B. ft. Hayley Williams: Airplanes

Double O

And I rep the double O smokin eatin cheerios

Even if the subject matter is really stereotypical, if it feels good, it feels good.

The Eragance ft. Nicki Minaj: I Bought That

Delightful to say the least. Queens stand up!

Gyptian ft. Nicki Minaj: Hold Yuh

Spring

This is something to vibe to. Don't listen to it with people who don't feel like vibing. It won't sound good.

Penguin Prison: Something I'm Not

vVv?

This post is dedicated to these dudes. It must have felt like magic to make this. Magic Music. Magic vVv Music. This track comes close to the essence of vVv and that's saying something.

Two Door Cinema Club: What You Know

These are good too.

Two Door Cinema Club: Undercover Martyn

When you're this good, you have to be remixed.

Down AKA Kilo vs. Two Door Cinema Club: A Cholo You Know (The White Panda Mash Up)

Two Door Cinema Club: Something Good Can Work (The Twelves Remix)

Feelin Right

This song has a real nice vibe to it if you kind of space out into it. That sentence really makes sense, it really does.

Wolf Gang: Back to Back (Active Child Remix)

This is so ill. They have a mixtape coming out together, going to be amazing. It's a nice vibe and Tyga is nice.

Tyga & Chris Brown: Shit

Be my angel. It's cool for a chick to have Mr. in her artist name.

Mr. Little Jeans: Angel

During my prison stint, I want my fans to know I love you. I want all of you to know that I appreciate all the mail I get, and this is my way of saying thank you. The F is for Family, Friends, and Fans.

Love. Live. Life. Proceed. Progress. That’s who I am and who I’ll always be. You see, we’re all living on borrowed time, so I’m not worried about this situation. Life happens quick. The more time you spend contemplating what you should have done…you lose valuable time planning what you can and will do. Trying to tear down the past prohibits you from building up your future. So for my time here, my physical will be confined to the yard. My love and my spirit, however, know no boundaries.

I’m in good spirits man, for real. My kids race through my mind all day. They know they were created with love, so love is how their life will be defined. I just hope my love and adoration for them provides a temporary bandage on a wound I unknowingly inflicted on them.

Real soon, you can catch me blogging for ESPN again thank you espn for not letting my passion for sports perish. I work out a lot because it helps pass the time. I read the Bible everyday. Jail didn’t make me find God, He’s always been there. They can lock me up, but my spirit and my love can never be confined to prison walls.

But this isn’t all about me, you are the reason for this letter. It’s because of you Rebirth went gold when critics aborted it. It’s because of you Young Money is and will always be a movement. If the weight of the world is on your shoulders, I beg of you, place it on mine. That’s the least I could do for you, after all you have sacrificed for me. If I could, I’d write each one of you back. Because of this, my team and I have created a website where you can view my letters. Each week I’ll answer as many questions as I possibly can.

Mia Edwards (Southern California) – I wish you nothing but the best for you. Earning your Masters in Library and Information Science is beautiful. I’ll keep you in mind whenever I decide to do an autobiography on my life.

Kelly Holloman (Brooklyn) – I still remember your letter. You have a great spirit. Thank you for the words and being a real fan. I love you.

Nurris Terrero (New York) – Your letter was so thoughtful and sincere. The way you worded everything left me in awe. Please send suggestions on books I should read. I look forward to checking them out.

For real, this will be the best way we can communicate for the coming months. The same way yall miss me, I miss yall, only 100 times more. To those who hate. Hate is only a form love that hasn’t found a way to express itself logically. Keep sending the letters and I promise keep responding. Thank YOU, thank YOU, thank YOU. No matter what they do to erase me, my love for you will always be permanent. Remember that. Take care. God bless.

Give me the patience that I need
To keep my piece of mind,
And with life’s cares, I hope, Dear God,
Some happiness to find.
Give me the courage to face life`s trials
and not to from troubles run.
let me keep this thought in mind.
“Thy Will,” not “Mine,” be done.

- “Pray”
