THE NIGHT OF MAYHEM, TOO MUCH ALCOHOL, TALIB KWELI, AND HI-TEK ( ! )
so go ahead and get lost between god and a shot of scotch."I SAW YOU WHEN YOU WALKED IN, AND ALL I THOUGHT TO MYSELF WAS 'HOW IS THIS GIRL NOT ON DRUGS?' YOU WERE WRECKED!"
the night started off early.. got blunted, drank some goose. okay, drank A LOT of goose. i had no idea where i was.. mix all of that with some fucking amaretto sours (my new fav courts. of alli!!) and some budweiser.. and some more blazing, and it was a fucking gong show. i fucking.. wow. i don't even know how the fuck.. wow. shit. ahahha. BUT WAS IT A GOOD TIME BOTCH?! oh fuck yeah. reflection eternal was fucking insane.. the opening acts were alright, but i just couldn't stand.. i was trying to focus hard on questions to ask talib and hi-tek.. and also trying to focus on what the fuck was happening.
i honestly .. i don't. yeah. it was fucking crazy. spilled beer all over myself and maribeth like shit was money.. i make it rain beer. i am a crazy whylin drunk people. crazy, whylin..
i was impressed though, classics, shit from their new mixtape, and their new album.. and for an encore, THREE MORE SONGS. not one people, THREE. possibly four i was too smashed. back again, the blast, too late, and beautiful struggle were my favs.. throw ya guns up! anyway, if you haven't seen them yet, make sure you do.. because they are INSANE live.. the whole night was fucking wicked.. but enough talk let's get on with it.. my upload went crazy so there might be doubles.. and they're also out of order. lol.
it's a beer time.
nothing goes better with beer than cupcakes.
just heatscore.
lezzlurleee!!
oh. camp. oh.
only one nas song that entire night and it was when i was leaving, can you believe it!?
TALIB!
and hi-tek!!
hi-tek dj'd randomly in between.
soooo wrecked.
RANSOM!
clearly not the greatest picture ever ahhaha. fuck me.. but it's the only one i have so .. yes.
hi-tek was really cool, from what i remember! AND YOUR PICTURE IS SO MUCH BETTER. lol.
i'm pretty stoked that it's friday.. even though every day this week has been a friday for me! i'm digging that it's raining.. PERFECT make out weather, just perfect.
i happen to really enjoy hot weather with rain.. my cousin and i had a pretty sick rain dance party, til we got yelled at to come inside.. "you're gonna get sick!" oh poo. party poopers. on another note.. what the fuck's happening tonight!? call me.
THIS SHIT IS FUCKING CRACK.THAT'S RIGHT WE BACK AGAIN, YOU COULD LIKE RAP AGAIN
YES. i know this dropped in january. so don't even. the best of old & new. up-lifting and refreshing! this mixtape is so fucking good, that i had to listen to it four times, just to keep up with it. it is a little long, 30 tracks with the intro and outro, which is a fucking lot.. but it's not boring either.
"back again" is easily my favorite song on the tape.. might not be the best, but definitely my favorite. broads voice is heavenly over a fast beat that soothes you. you almost want to take a breath and say "okay, everything in the hip hop world, it'll be okay."
"chaos" is something i HAVE to mention, because it features "bahamadia" whom i recently talked about on a throwback thursday.. ha! i guess i freakishly made myself listen to the tape sub-consciously. she is so nice to listen to.
"just begun" is another fav. DIRTY DIRTY DIRTY. it has j. cole, jay electronica and mos def on it. retro talib!! omg. i smirked when this shit came on. this shit is so fucking smooth. i never really liked jay electronica, but after this i think i just.. might. remember when looping grabbed you by the fucking face, and slapped you..?! that's what this loop does, you can't help but get an "ungh fuck yeah" feeling from it. everyone featured on this song put forth hot shit.. even mos def, who i lost a little love for after seeing him live two years ago. his last bar was a little silly, and that was the only flaw of this song. ill ill ill.
"music for life" is definitely on the scale too, have to mention it cuz my boyfriend raps on it. *sigh. i love him. what is that beat?! flute?! okay! i like me some flute sometimes!
with a tape like this, the album is now officially more than highly anticipated. DEAR WORLD, EVERYTHING IS OKAY. hip hop will be just fine.
i'm going to go ahead and give it 4/5.. i was going to give it a 4.5, but songs like "let it go" kind of take away from it. i read that a lot of people think that "internet connection" and "let it go" are wack. i don't think such. i happen to like "let it go".. it's just more of like an r&b song, with a real short talib verse that is mediocre from him. it's basically for the ladies, so it doesn't really fit in on the tape. i thoroughly enjoyed it though.. and i think that if you like the whole talib & hi-tek deal, it's not disappointing.. which was what i expected. they still got it when they try.
