Daydreamin’ ft. Jill Scott [Live from Letterman] - Lupe Fiasco

Every time i watch this throwback, I get chills.  I want a Jill Scott track too.

We Are The World 25

So I sort of have a love/hate relationship with this song.  I was especially put off by the Lil Wayne x Autotune combo.  T-Pain, I could stand since it’s kinda his thing and it’s been established that he can actually sing but Lil Wayne was just really jarring.

Also, I don’t even know how to feel about the rap mega-verse with LL Cool J, Snoop Dogg, will.i.am, Busta Rhymes, someone who appeared to be Swizz Beatz and others.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad that the hip-hop community is a) being given a shot to shine as a legitimate force for change and b) taking this opportunity and using it, but it was really a lot to take in.  Perhaps more of the Kanye-style ad-libbed verses would have been less in your face.

Regardless, I’m glad that 25 years later, influential musicians can still get together and use their power for good.  I’m about to buy this off iTunes right now.  And I’ll even admit, it brought me to tears.  The last song to do that was the Glee rendition of Somebody to Love.  It was a combination of Celine Dion’s timely entrance with Lionel Ritchie counting her in and Wyclef in general that plugged me.

Awesome new Old Spice commercial I’m on a horse.

THE TICKETS ARE NOW DIAMONDS.  Brilliant.

We Gon’ Go - Kardinal Offishall

Another great Canadian musician that was forgotten.  Also, not quite a full-on beard but well kept with crispy edges!  This track has great subject matter.  It’s like a shoutout track, with class!

So I found this and it makes me hate reggaeton more than ever before.  His hook is: “Soy el niño más bonitooo” which translates to “I’m the best looking boy”.

Which is a lie.  This kid is ugly as all hell.  And beyond that, I can’t understand his garbled, prepubescent rambling (and I’m fluent in Spanish).  The kiddie video hoes are tacky he’s dressed so typically of a reggaetonero (like an outlet strip mall version of rappers from 2002).

In short, I hate EVERYTHING about this video.

It’s one of these kinda days.
