Shades of Brooklyn- Change

Cannibal Ox- Pigeon

The Beatles- Octopus's Garden

THE WHOLE WORLD IS AN OCTOPUS'S GARDEN, ACUS PAUL RUNS THIS SHIT.

Heitor Villa-Lobos- Chôro no. 1

Sun Ra- Pink Elephants

Did you know that most Sun Ra tracks were actually about the Chilean National Team? It's true.

Ennio Morricone- Tema di Ali

Shad- Rose Garden

Shad's pretty nice. This is nice. The video is kind of fun, moreso if you're familiar with the one it's sort of referencing. Anyway. I think I've successfully managed to compliment this in the faintest way possible. Which is also cool.

The Isley Brothers- Time After Time

I was told to "fucking post some Isley Brothers, man", so I guess I'll go ahead and do that.

Nas- The World Is Yours

Alright,I still think this is way funnier than it actually is.

And so I'll go with the Nas tie in.



I will also post the Ahmad Jamal track, because I had time to kill and so YEA.

Gravediggaz- Diary of a Madman

IAM- Petit Frère

There.

Common- Book of Life

Alright, yea, sorry for making this the second Common track in the past few days. But, whatever. I listened to every Roy Ayers album I have (which is way too many. I don't know how this happened) over the weekend, for no particular reason...and, honestly, I can't even bring myself post a Roy Ayers track. I mean, shit, I don't even really dig on a lot of Roy Ayers stuff. Anyway. So, I am going to post this, with the sample from "Everybody Loves the Sunshine". Acus stuff.

Resurrection is sort of Common's Illmatic, in that he's put out some pretty nice stuff since then (and also some stuff that's sort of dogshit), but none of it's really quite as awesome as that album. Actually, Common's career is like some weird cross between Nas, Mos Def, and Ice Cube. Not going to try to explain that, although I think it does sort of make sense, but in a quasi-inexplicable way. I should not write these things on no sleep. Goddamn.

SO

Y Society- At My Own Pace

Biggie- Party & Bullshit (Dela remix)

CAN I BRING MY GAT?

Alyn Ainsworth- Where Do I Go

Props if you can pick up where this was sampled (without cheating), but I mostly just dig on the track.

I will never tire of seeing hip hop acts on Yo Gabba Gabba

Whatever, this is my favorite thing in the universe.



(and a Mos track to justify it, I guess. with the Love Supreme intro/outro and isht...this sort of sums up a lot of his career, I think, but this works better than some of his other attempts to be a really artsy motherfucker. I mean, the actual track, but...the Love Supreme thing, too. whatever, go watch that Yo Gabba Gabba clip again. straight rockin the jheri curl.)

Ornette Coleman- Lonely Woman

Al Hirt- Harlem Hendoo

This is, like, the twelfth tangent I got on from what I was originally going to do, but whatever, it works.

Mongo Santamaria- Afro Blue

Eric Dolphy (Mal Waldron)- Warm Canto

(not Ornette, but whatever)
