The revolution will not be televised

... It will be radio-ised..... via Money Malc's radio show. But take note... the time changed. THURSDAY 8:00-10:00 aka NOW, MO' FUCKAS... one hour left of bangers. As usual, I am going to hand the commentary over to malc to accompany three tracks for your downloading pleasure (as are all songs on this biitch) that he will be playing tonight/now...

Take it away, Malc...

I'm in the library, knee-deep in one of the most pointless, ambiguous assignments I've ever been asked to do, elementary school and kindergarten included. I hope I can figure out what in the world I'm supposed to be writing about before I turn 20. The T-Wolves just completely choked in the fourth quarter against the Hawks, and this girl right next to me is watching youtube and stifling her laughter, which sounds like a chair squeaking or an excited mouse, both of which are more annoying than actual laughter. There is a party in my dorm (fewer than 50 yards from the library) happening as I type this so I really want to get out of here.


ONE.) This song is a collaboration between two new-ish, really talented artists. Sometimes I hear certain artists and I just think to myself: "You get it. You understand what people like to listen to. You understand what sounds good. You just made that sound far better than most people could ever hope to sound in their lifetime."

I think that Jay Electronica, J. Period, and Nneka understand the formula. This track is simple, hard-hitting, and as catchy as crabs. I can't get the chorus out of my head, not that that's something I would want. I think my mom would love this song.

Patrick: I also would just like to give a shout out to Jane Kerr.

Link: Walking (J.Period Remix) f. Jay Electronica- Nneka
 
TWO.) Objectiv One takes "This is How We Do It," strips it of the already-dope Slick Rick sample and redresses it with some silky smooth jazz. As a general rule, mixing one good ingredient with another good ingredient usually produces a great product. This is the same logic behind peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, boy bands, and thousand-island dressing. Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner..


Patrick: This is a dope beat. I just can't seem to listen to jazz flute seriously after Anchorman though. Objective one did the Drake and Washed out mash up in a post earlyurrrr.


Link: This Is How We Do It (South Central Jazz Festival Mash Up) (Montell Jordan Vs. Hubert Laws)- Objektiv One

THREE.) The 50 Cent classic redone with acoustic steel drums. I think that steel drums are
arguably the coolest sounding instrument humans have ever invented. Prince of Ballard figured that out before I did though. Alright. I need to get back to work.

Patrick: Glad my blog could satisfy your procrastination needs, homeboy.

Link: PIMP (Prince of Ballard O.G. Edit)- 50 Cent


Listen to my show, read Thizzberg's blog and enjoy your thursday night.

3 tracks (to download) and 1 video (that you shouldn't watch)

So i'm studying for my journalism test mañana so i don't have time for an in depth post. HOWEVER, I thought I'd quick give you guys a legit link I found to download that Snoop/Cudi/Diplo song I posted last nigh. This song has def grown on me (since yesterday). The beat hits hard. Barely works with the chorus. To be banged this weekend (post test).

Link: That Tree ft. KiD CuDi- Snoop Dogg (Prod. by Diplo)

There's also this too I thought i'd post in case you didn't have it. The single from Nas and Damian Marley's collabo album, Distant Relatives, which is due to drop April 20th.

Link: As We Enter- Damian Marley & Nas

ONE MORE THING!!
I just found this today. Really feeling it. Baby I'm Yours is Breakbot's long-awaited debut EP on Ed Banger Records. This shit is smooth and hellaaaa catchy. He's French. Combining disco and electo, with a hot vocal hook.

Link: Baby I'm Yours (feat. Irfane)- Breakbot

Okay. Enjoy these tracks and have a good tuesday night. Mine will undoubtedly suck. Wish me luck.

I may owe you $7. But probably not.

Sooooooooo, my bad. Its been a while since a post. I don't know if anyone cared buut in case you do.. my excuse? Being home all weekend (where i saved the life of a very old black man) (ask me about it in person). And midterms (1 down 1 to go) (suck it, anthro). Let me compensate by hooking you up to the moon with some banguuurrrzzz i've just been waiting to unleash on you all.

If I was to make a  playlist of some of my favorite hip hop tracks from the past couple years... this is all it would include. Download every one of these songs (BY CLICKING ON THE TRACK NAME..... i dont think some people get that...). You'll thoroughly enjoy them. In fact, I owe you $7 if you don't like just one of em. My Top-7-hip-hop-songs-I-know-you'll-like-or-I-owe-you-$7.

1.) I don't know where I found this but.... this beat is absolutely insane. If you're sneaker head make this your anthem. If you think you can dance, challenge me to a dance battle. Been dancing to this joint for just toooo longgg homieee.... one of my all time go-to party songs fur surre. And as you can see, Barack approves as well..
I Got Colors- Que B.I.L.L.A.H. feat. The Cool Kids

2.) This was my favorite song for so so long. Just rebirthed it. Such a smooth sample. And those vocals in the chorus.... FORGET ABOUT ITT. But seriously. Forget about itt. this will make you feel so good in such a good way.
Still Water- The Pacifics
(sorry no free download, but click the link, its without doubt worth buying)
3.) You know Outkast. I'd be surprised if you know this song. But maybe you do. Love this beat. Big Boi's (who i've decided is one of my favorite MCs of all time) flow is just on pointt. An whoever sings that chorus. All day i dream about it...
ADIDAS All day I dream about sex- Outkast & Killer Mik

4.) Took me so long to track down a download link for this shiii. I think it originally aired on the Coach Carter soundtrack..? Shout out to Ashanti. Another Kanye song to make you nostalgic of the old ways.
Wouldn't You Like To Ride ft. Common, Kanye West- Malik Yusef


5.) I remember a minute ago the first time I heard Slick Rick's voice I thought it was a woman. It's just toooo smooth. Made so much smoother over this smoov ass beat. My go-to jam over winter break.
Street Talkin'- Slick Rick ft. Outkast

6.) Who's on the comeup? J. Cole is on the mo fucking comeup. It's been a while since I've heard some new shit drop that I was really feeling. Right when I was about to give up, this song blessed my ears. Don't know where he copped this beat but it is too freshhhh. Flow is riiiight. The homie Kid Kotilly told me to post some Cole. Post some Cole I shall, my friend.
World Is Empty- J. Cole

7.) The beat. Is to be played loudly. And when that bass line drops. Nuff said.
Can't Hold On- MED

Thought I'd post this too. Although not included in my top 7, it is fresh off the boat (you heard it here 1st!) (maybe..). The Diplo-produced cut will appear on Snoop’s upcoming offering “More Malice”, a deluxe version of his current longplayer “Malice N Wonderland”.. clever, snoop.. And is Cudi is becoming as much of a slut as Weezy? Vote now.

Who better to rap and sing about smoking california herbalescence than this duo?

Snoop Dogg feat. KiD CuDi- That Tree.

The Xx. RemiXxed.

I heard its really warm and springy in the twin cities today. Fuck that. The picture posted above is out of pure spite. Send some down to Madison. I've got so many man tanks (manks)(get familiar) just calling my name from my dresser. Thinking of warmth is habitual. Anyways, I promised myself I wouldnt post today because I have so much shit to do but i dont give no fuuckkk. So appreciate this.

The Xx. What do you know about The Xx. Get to know if you don't. I love them. Their dreamy back and forth female/male vocals and guitar are so good for cold solitary days like today. So twin cities kids feel free not to download, maybe I'll post some fucking Beach Boys for you guys. Here are my 2-Favorite-The-Xx-RemiXxes (Get it??!)

ONE.) Makes Biggie and Pac's lyrics hit so much harder. more  haunting. Download the original too. Realized last night that this song is also used in some Apollo Ono commercial.... sell-outsss... 
>Intro- The Xx 
>Runnin' With The Xx (Quix vs. Eliot Blend)-Biggie vs. Tupac vs. The Xx

Run from the police. Picture that. I'm too fat. Fuck around and get an asthma attack. That's why I bust back. It don't phase me...
---Favorite line in rap evuuurr.

TWO.) Really love this original song. I think that's why I loved and appreciated the Grandtheft remix so much. Vocals and guitar are so on. Download both to see how the game should be played 
>Crystalized- The Xx 

>Crystalized (Grandtheft Remix)- The Xx 

Who looks more intimidating? Biggie and Pac (in a time of peace), Or the indie leather jacket wearing punks The Xx?? Vote now!


1 MORE THING... Been looking for an excuse to put this video up for a while. Don't see any better one than this post. Goes so fucking hardd..... even with the pink borderline... R.I.P.

99 problems but my radio show (still) ain't one...

Second edition. Ya boy from the hometown Money Malc goes on air tonight (8-10, 7-9 in the midwest) under his alias, DJ Dana-Sauce to supply you with the heat via Colby college in Maine. Here are 3 (of many) tracks he'll be flooding the airwaves with tonight for your downloading pleasure. If you forgot, get your ass to wmhb.org now and follow the online instructions to get hooked upp. If you want to make a request, or just to chat, call 207-859-5450.

Now, as usual, I'll hand the commentary over to Malc, with a word from me here and there:

ONE. Malc: My iTunes is kind of like a revolving door. Songs will come in, they'll get played, and for the time being it'll be amazing, until it's forgotten about, and relegated to the library. Once they're in the library, they'll probably stay there, never reaching playlist status. Some songs, however, have been on steady rotation since they were added. For me, this is one of those songs. Is it the beat? Is it the vocal sample in the background? The lyrics? The pre-jerk Kanye cameo? The stupid minute-long talking segment in the end? I honestly have no idea. But I don't think this track's failed to put me in a good mood since it made the internet-to-iTunes leap.
Patrick: That beat reminds me of something Kanye woud have rapped over on Dropout. Oh, nostalgia.

Reasons ft. Kanye West- Gly Gypsy- (The Vodka and Rum Mixtape)

TWO. Malc: Word on the street is that Big Boi is coming to Colby some time in the spring. I wanted to see if he was putting out any new singles so that I could sing along at the concert and I stumbled on this track. I can't even really put a genre on this track, but if this kind of music was a genre, it'd be my favorite. It's an amazing mix of hip-hop, swing and soul. 3 minutes in, her voice reminds me of a young Michael Jackson, right before the horns and ukulele kick in. That sentence alone should intrigue you enough to give this one a listen.
Patrick: I downloaded this a couple days ago off hypebeast but never listened to it long enough to hear the horns near the end. Fire. Good pick.  
Tightrope- Janelle Monae ft. Big Boi

THREE. Malc: I think adding the Jose Gonzales guitar in the background makes The Games' rhymes sound way more.... potent. I love this one because I think it works so well. This isn't party music, but if you're getting amped up to go protest or to drive around through bad neighborhoods in your car, by all means, play this loudly.

Patrick: Goddamn, I've been banging this song off a mix Evan gave me last summer. Had no idea what it was besides The Game over a sick sample. DJ Dert flips this so well. MLK AND Left Eye both had a dream? If The Game says it's so. (Jose Gonzales pictured)


Dreams vs. Cross (The Game vs. Jose Gonzales)- DJ Dert- Sometimes I Rhyme Slow

Late night disco sickness cough

I'm sick. I hurt. I'm plugged with so much tylenol and phlegm my head's about to explode. And I have a paper to write. I can't believe it's only 11. Thank god for these songs for keeping me up right now, downloaded most of them today. I thought I'd quickly share them with you if you're in any sort of similar situation... such a nice guy. Top 5 songs that are keeping me awake right now....

ONE. This shit is so hot. I wish Stevie and Lil' Wayne would collaborate on a song forreal..
Downtight (Chambaland Mashup)- Stevie Wonder vs. Jay Sean Feat. Lil' Wayne

TWO. Maybe don't listen to this while studying. The urge to shake your ass is almost overwhelming.
Raise Me Up- Hercules & Love Affair

THREE. If for some reason you don't know The Knife from Sweden you should get to know. Heartbeats (See the A-trak mash up with on the hip hop remixes post) was there big hit a couple years ago. I'm really feeling this track right now though.
Pass This On- The Knife

And I actually just found this remake of Heartbeats I really like a lot. Maybe listen to it when you're trying to fall asleep though...
Heartbeats- José González

FOUR. I'm going to have to use this in a movie one of these days. Where the fuck did this sample come from.
Why Don't You- Gramophonedzie

FIVE. Catchyyyyyyyyy. Someone remind me to put a mash-up the hood internet did with caribou and zion I.
Odessa- Caribou



......THEN listen to this when you're ready to fall asleep. One of my favorite songs ever. Listened to it every night in Honduras while trying to drown out the barks of emaciated dogs outside.

Storm Returns- Prefuse 73

That took too long. I think I legit have ADD. Thank you, blog. And I apologize for this pic...
