album is sweet. good music, good lyrics, nice energy. even though i still find myself loving ‘under the heavens’ more and more, this album is pretty damn awesome. listen to a song. or two…

welcome to kanye’s soul mix show

i think i have a new favorite kanye mixtape!!frrreeessssshhhh
i still hate to think of kanye the way he is now, so this just makes me feel good about the man! takin’ it back to that GOOD shit.

mixed by a-trak this is a little soul mix of a few songs kanye’s sampled throughout the years, but my favorite parts of the mix are when kanye talks about random shit. the things he says are grreeeaaattt!!

so here’s a few of my favorites;
01-nina simone – sinnerman (get by intro)
02-al green – i wish you were here (the good, the bad, the ugly)
07-william bell – strung out (down and out)
09-ahmad jamal – ghetto child (they say)

i really just want to post up this whole thing
but use your brainz and find it on the interwebs

Al Green – Here I Am (Soul Train)

i am not a religious man by any means, but watching Al Green can make you believe in god.

Season five of practically the best show ever made is officially on. It covers Baltimore from the heroin addict, the Dealer, the Po-lice, all the way up to the mayor and everything in between. this show is thorough, painting 3 dimensional characters that you actually care about, and at the same time giving you a new perspective of city life. the beat kids have an obsession.

Tom Waits- Way down in the hole (season 2 theme)
Domaje – way down in the hole (season 4 theme)
rod lee- dance my pain away

i fucking love the temptations

i think it all started about two months ago as i was getting off the train in evanston. this homeboy was with his friends all acting goofy and shit and just started singing “i got sunshiiiineeee on a cloudyyyy dayyyy” the damn song was stuck in my head for so long. then! about a week or two later the temptations movie was on pbs or some channel like that. i watched about five minutes of it and i was hooked, shit was so good! anyway, here i am now; loving the temptations.

the temptations – my girl.mp3
