Chariot of Fire
By N.E.R.D.
This blog entry is going to have to be a little hush hush and very quiet... Hip hop is like my guilty pleasure. If people knew I dress up in bling and ride my escalade down the strip my rockstar cred will be all but ruined. So shhhh.
Anyway, N.E.R.D. (or No-one Every Really Dies to their friends, but also The Neptunes to their other friends) are only kinda hip hoppery... Also kinda R&B-ey. It's really hard to lock them into one category since they are capable of so many different sounds. No matter what though, they seem to pull it off like it's nothing. Also, Pharrell Williams is a genius.
Best Lyric:
What about then Mildred?
Oh excuse me a I mean music...
Be Easy
By Ghostface Killah
Ok.. ok... So this one's a little 'Gangsta'... Possibly too 'Gangsta'... But it's hard to appreciate its greatness until you've seen Vic and myself bust this out on the street when we are walking between clubs. We are totally 'fly'.
Plus, you've gotta respect a guy who's willing to mention Tony Stark/Iron Man in almost every song. They even gave him a bit part in the movie (although it got cut... so I guess they weren't that greatful after all :S).
Best Lyric:
Gotta get that cheese,
Gotta pimp that V.
Old School Rules
By DangerDoom ft. Talib Kweli
DangerDoom is actually two guys: Dangermouse and MF Doom.
Dangermouse is like the man with the midas touch of music. He's also half of Gnarls Barkley and has done various collaborations and mashups (Including the brilliant and illegal Beatle's White album/Jay Z's Black album mashup).
MF Doom raps primarily about cartoons and comic books, and also always wears a mexican luchador mask (as seen here).
The album this is from, The Mask and the Mouse, is entirely about the lineup of Nick at night, and is also one of the greatest albums I've ever heard.
Best Lyric:
And we'll be right back after these messages:
Fellas grab your nutsacks, chicks squeeze your breastesses.
