SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!!

it's syntifik sunday, and DE emailed me ten hip hop questions that he'd like to see answered. readers are dope, so i had to hand him some answers.. i expect to see your answers in the comment box de ;) hahah.. esco, let's get to bloggin.

1. Favorite Summer Album
COOL KIDS - BAKE SALE / NERD - SEEING SOUNDS
i was going to say snoop, but i feel that's too fucking cliche. bake sale's beats hit soooo hard, and this album screams summer. it's definitely a summer banger..!! .. and nerd's seeing sounds is so summer it's redic. i was lucky enough to see both nerd and the cool kids within the same year.. and i bumped both albums thoroughly. ALL THE GIRLS STANDING IN THE LIINEEE..

2. Favorite Winter Album
LUPE FIASCO - THE COOL / FOREIGN EXCHANGE - CONNECTED
i tend to get real soul easy when winter rolls around. my music tones down A LOT. i like things real smooth, but with dope lyrics. & lupe and phonte do that to the fullest. nicolay does wonders on the connected album. i feel like the best part about winter, is grabbing a warm drink.. sitting somewhere secluded like a library and listening to some real good music. both these albums have the tendency to warm me up.

3. Song that reminds you of your childhood
HOUSE OF PAIN - JUMP AROUND / ONYX - SLAM / DON MCCLEAN - AMERICAN PIE / NAT KING COLE - UNFORGETTABLE
this was a tough one.. i had to close my eyes and place myself back to the 90's. when i was a kid, my family owned this banquet hall, where literally everyone in town had their weddings, 16th, 18th birthdays, and any social event basically. i would be there literally 4 times out the week.. and i remember the dj's always playing house of pain's jump around. that shit tore the roof off some days. my brother was a BIG onyx fan, and shit was always blazing through his headphones, so every time i hear that song.. i find myself sitting in the back seat, on my way to school, while my mom tells my brother to turn down his walkman. american pie was a song my dad sang routinely, mostly in the morning.. and my mom always sang unforgettable or k-sirrah when she would get me ready. all four of those songs bring me back to those exact moments.. i almost tear up writing about them!

4. Favorite emcee (Other than Nas)
ouch. GOOD QUESTION. i'd say it's a toss up between big l and biggie. ironic isn't it?! i done had to pick two emcees who both passed before bringing further music.. but i don't know. i think that's what makes them even more impressive.. that they could actually stand out that much without as much work as other artists. i really love slug from atmosphere too though.. this is why i hate when people ask me who my top five are.. lol

5. Favorite slept on Album
this was a hard one to answer.. i consulted with my brother.. and we brought up big l, but he really isn't THAT slept on. then we brought up onyx's baccdafukup, but it isn't really up to par.. the first naughty by nature album.. but that isnt it either.. thought maybe it could be hard to earn.. or anything by epmd.. AND FUCK. here i sit.. still stumped. SO.. i've narrowed it down to two, that are my personal favs. 1 being, outkast - atliens.. when people think of outkast, they think of aquemini and southernplay.. but atliens is soooo good. front to back that shit is timeless.. in my opinion, it's just as good! ALSO, diamond d's stunts blunts and hip hop.. that album is fucking AMAAAZINGGGGG.. and whenever i bring it up, people are like "what?".. so i just don't.. but i'll say it right now, everyone breathing should have that album.. and anything by jeru the damaja.. why do people sleep on jeru?! JERU IS SO FUCKING BOSS!

6. Favorite Summer song
beside's usher's omg?! lol.. summertime in the lbc.. of course.

7. Top 5ive producers that you like that's out right now
goodness.. i like forty, i know.. shut up. swizzy! exile.. hi-tek.. kanye (YUP!)
that's in no order though.

8. Favorite Old school producers
PREMIER, MADLIB, PETE ROCK, RZA AND DILLA.. and although i hate to admit it, jermaine dupri. i hate him to shit, but the music that leaves the booth are always big tunes.. and q-tip. every time i type one, i think of another one.. jam master jay.. alchemist.. shitttt.. i could go on forever.

9. Favorite group ( not the best just your favorite)
wu-tang. LOVE WU TANG FOREVERRRR!!!!!
