Laid Back Sunday #11

Once again providing some classic beats for you to enjoy your Sunday evening a bit more.

Bama Boyz - Sweet Home Alabama
This Alabama born & raised trio was well known back in the days for producing remixes for girl acts such as Beyonce, Destiny's Child and all that kind of shit. They still created some tunes of their own. For a certain reason, this one, with the sweet home alabama steeze, can stay stuck in my head for hours. Cheesy beat & lyrics but whatever man

The Coup - My Favorite Mutiny (Feat. Black Thought & Talib Kweli)
The Coup has been doing their thing since 1991. They make political/activist hiphop with somewhat of a "The Roots" style. Raw drums and funky bass are part of their arsenal. I once saw them performing live in Whistler, very energetic group. The track here features Black Thought from The Roots and Talib Kweli. This one is a classic, no doubt about that.

J Dilla - Reality TV (feat. Black Thought)
This song is off the latest J Dilla album. I thought this track really stood out of the rest. Black Thought is one sick emcee. Crazy flow with head-slapping lyrics.

peace.

Diplo X Benzi

This collabo album was released a week ago but I really had to share this one with yall one way or an other. All kind of "Mansions On the Moon" remixes/features done by a bunch of well reputed producers including Deadmau5, Mad Decent, Xaphoon Jones, and more. Diplo & Benzi are the one presenting the album so that gives you a quick idea of the quality you can expect.
I'm a sucker for that kind of sound. It has that weird spacy electro typa vibe. Some tracks are a bit more uptempo then the others but it really all blends perfectly at the end. Cool album to chill after a hard day at work.

Mansions On The Moon - This Life (DJ A Mad Decent Remix)
Mansions On The Moon - Glimpse Into The Future (Xaphoon Jones Remix)
Mansions On The Moon - Last Call (Benzi & Willy Joy Remix)

The video above features a Mansions On The Moon single called "She Makes Me Feel", also on that same album.


To end this one, here's video from a live performance done in Toronto by Black Thought and dj J Period.
This quote really says it all about Black Thought "Black Thought is the ultimate “emcee.” Ask anybody who is a fan of hip hop and chances are they will note that this man embodies what a true emcee is. Usually one to sneak under the radar when the “best of all time” talk comes up, Black Thought is not one to tell you how good he is, make videos about it, and then rap more about it. Instead, he presents his raw skills, his talent, and his words."



This dude is way too sick. big up

peace
