Spread love is the Brooklyn way...

A little trip down memory lane again. Topic of the day: Hip hop Classics from the 90's


It's impossible to NOT include this first song. Sorry about the poor quality on the video. I remember sitting between the two towers in NYC back in... 98-ish maybe, when a police-officer walked by dropping a few lines from this tune... ah, the memories:


Notorious B.I.G. - Juicy




Can't do a post on this subject without the Wu-Tang Clan, and here's one of my first fave rap-tunes...


Wu-Tang Clan - C.R.E.A.M.




I have to include two more Wu-related tunes:


Method Man - All I Need




Ghostface Killah (feat. Mary J. Blige) - All That I Got is You




Anyone remember Lost Boyz? Well, here's an old classic...

Lost Boyz - Renee




Tupac could've had a dozen of songs here, but just one this time:

Tupac - Keep Ya Head Up



... and now to something completely different... who can forget this classic?

Luniz - I got 5 on it




Last tune out.. an odd favorite, maybe

Nine - Whutcha Want

Femmina Alfa

My love for Italy is no big secret. The culture, the history, Roma, the beaches, the people, the language, the football (AS Roma) etc. I've also heard my share of Italian music through the years, most notably Gianna Nannini, who I basically grew up listening to.

This next artist however, is someone I recently became aware of, after a friend of mine (who again had her recommended from another friend) told me to check her out. I've had the following songs on repeat basically ever since. Seriously.

Baby K is the name of the artist, and... well, now it's my turn to recommend her tunes to you. Rap has had it's ups and downs lately, and to me this is definitely one of the ups. Great beats, wonderfully built up tunes, great flow. Enjoy!


Baby K - Femmina Alfa




Baby K - Primo Round




Baby K - In Piedi




Baby K - Una su un millione




Baby K - Sole

Autumn

It's mid-September, and summer is over. In all honosty, it never really seemed to be present here in Norway this year, at least not for a duration of time. These last couple of weeks have given me plenty of time to sit inside looking out... Being sick is mostly just a pain the... well, throat in my case, but there is also something quite swell about sitting inside when the rain is falling down HARD on the outside.

Here are a couple of songs that'll make sure that autumn isn't as dark and depressing as it can be...


Bon Iver - Skinny Love - Painfully beautiful




Bon Iver - Re:stacks




Bon Iver - Flume




Ray LaMontagne - You Are the Best Thing





Ray LaMontagne - Let it be Me




Ray LaMontagne - Meg White - Yes, it's the Meg White from White Stripes


Iron & Wine - Such Great Heights




Iron & Wine - Flightless Bird, American Moth - Live version




The Avett Brothers - Murder in the City




Bon Iver - Perth




Dave Matthews - The Stone





Hope you enjoy!
