Pennywise in the gutter I'm stealin the boat

Been kinda busy lately with summer classes and working so really havent gotten a chance to just sit down and listen to some music. I'm back in a heavy J Dilla mood. I just got Old Donuts and Jay Stay Paid and it just further confirms Dilla's greatness. He can make grimy beats, smooth chill beats, and can use a sample better than anyone. I'm frustrated though a while back I downloaded a random set of 30+ "unreleased Dilla beats" and have deleted most of them because I already have them. Its a pet peeve and kinda bothers me to see a song named "Unreleased Beat 7" (which is one of my favorite Dilla beats right now). I NEED to find out the name of these last few beats.

DOOM is still getting play too. Operation: Doomsday has some pretty good songs on there I enjoy; Rhymes Like Dimes, Doomsday, Tick Tick, I Hear Voices, etc. Listening to Madvillainy also made me realize how much I like Madlib. I've only listened to a few songs on Jaylib (collab album between J Dilla and Madlib) but I may look into getting one of Madlib's Beat Konduckta albums.

Still havent gotten around to listening to the Diamond District album. Probably will/should today since it is only about 13 tracks I believe.

A group I started listening to is Cyne. This song got me hooked on them and interested in their other work. Great lyrics, Great Flow, great beat.

I will probably give their album Evolution Flight its first spin tonight and definitely listen to another one of their songs I like, Paradise.

Mos Def's newest album The Ecstatic is coming out next tuesday. I'm pumped. I enjoy Mos's work with Talib Kweli as Black Star (youtube Respiration, Thieves in the Night if you arent familiar), his work on Black On Both Sides, and even some stuff on the much hated on True Magic. The album snippets I've heard from amazon.com have me very pumped. There are some Madlib and J Dilla beats on there and it looks like it will be a great album. The beat that I love is Madlib's Auditorium, it sounds like it will go hard.

Also heard news about Lupe doing work with Soulja Boy. It wont be that big a deal as long as the work DOES NOT appear on Lupe's album. The worst it will do is let some of SB's fans know Lupe exists and is pretty good. Still wont be too happy if it happens though.

I also finally got Johnson & Jonson's self titled album (rapper Blu and producer Mainframe). I dont remember but this might have been the first song I heard Blu in, either that or the So(ul) Amazing song on his myspace. Either way I liked this song and the feel of the other songs on the album sound promising so this should be a good listen later on tonight.

This also reminds me that Blu and Mainframe are working with Fletcher's favorite rapper Danny Brown on a cd. Can't wait for that one to drop it will definitely be either you like it or you hate it.

To finish it off I will end with one of the Nas songs that has quickly risen up the ranks as one of probably not only my favorite Nas songs but maybe songs overall. This song has great lyrics as the story is being told and an amazing beat.
