Oooooh. E-40. Minimalist beat. You can’t go wrong.
Set countdown timer for 30th of March. “Revenue Retrieving”. Two albums. “Day Shift” and “Night Shift”.
Still the rapper doing the most with rapping? Most probably.
I was dreading the task of writing an end-of-decade list. After putting it off for a bit I laboriously compiled a list of about 150 songs that I love from the last ten years. Making the list did bring up some excellent songs I’ve not listened to for ages, so I may do some follow up posts just highlighting some forgotten, unsung or muchsung tracks. We’ll see.
I decided to pare the list down to just ten tracks. I thought it would be impossible, but in reality the ten pretty much picked themselves. I only quibbled slightly on points of “what is my favourite on that album?”. The ten I’ve ended up with has maybe three or four tracks that appear on some of the other lists I’ve read around the internet but still feels comfortably personal as a whole. Without further ado, here it is. Five here, five in part two.

Gotted some nice bits of vinyl recently. A couple of nice moody soundtracks from two of the masters. Everyone needs the UN Resolution on Racism on vinyl right? Bottom right is a UK HMV copy of an Impulse comp that has a bunch of tracks unreleased elsewhere on vinyl. Gooduns.

So actually I think I will do an end of year post. 15 songs. One per artist. Youtube links for sampling. Uh… (more…)
I haven’t been blogging. It’s not that I had nothing to post, I just couldn’t do anything new until I’d got my end of year post out of the way.
Everyone seems to do their “best ofs” in like the first week of December now. I like to let the year actually finish. Then I like to have another two weeks to mull it over. Then I’ll play some Xbox.
Anyway, this is of no interest to anyone now but I have to get it out of the way so I can get my flow back. Like Bobby Brown prizing a “dookie bubble” from Whitney’s sphincter, I am finally dropping my top 20 tracks of 2008.
