Electronic singers’ vocals can be buried in the synths, trap gaps, and general womp-womp-womp. That’s why live and acoustic versions are always refreshing. The words matter more. The voice is naked and completely itself. A guitar – or in this case – a piano is just there to back up the living voice for a thrill while going… In For The Kill.
I know that you’ll understand – and hold onto my hand!
Daaamn SANTIGOLD! Back at it again with a wicked mix of reggae-influenced riddim for her signature electro hip-pop sound on her 3rd album, “99 Cents“. Reminiscent of her classic “Unstoppable” but bigger, bossier with lots more major keys! Check it out:
This week, answer the question with some questions questionin yours. Sound confusing? See how the soccer hackey sacker, cocky-khaki jacket-jacker, and slap-happy-fa**ot-slapper does so effortlessly that in today’s Monday Mood!

Logic delivered a well thought out and interesting concept album amidst a VERY packed Hip Hop year and landed the busy 4th quarter. Think Kanye’s “Glow In The Dark” tour (if you were lucky enough to see it) expanded. Can’t wrap ya mind around that? It’s ALRIGHT. Wrap ya mind around this rapracadabra Big Sean pulls out of his snapback from Logic’s 1st album for our last Monday Mood of the year:
I made somethin outta nothin, Sean Don a magician/
She doin trix with her p***y, I guess that’s a vagician
Step 1: Get Poppin (EARN notoriety)
Step 2: Want it (but don’t be needy)
Step 3: Do It (Nikes optional)
*NEVER skip or reverse steps.
what a time…
As we end THANKSGIVING weekend, and some of you head for Christmas shopping [shoutout to our Kwanzaa, and Chanukkah readers], remember to be grateful for what you got – and hopeful for what you need:
Control yourself, take only what you need from it!
The Drums. The Gaps. The Yelps. OH MY… GOSH!
“. You just have to find what you’re great at, then tap into it!”
Starting off the week, let’s remember when a Brooklyn boy who once said to himself, “Hov, Remind yourself; nobody’s built like you, you design YOURSELF“. I see, I said. Watch today’s Monday Motivation:
They’re gonna look back at the week you’ve had, and how hard you ball out in the weekend! *pause for effect* They’re gonna see how much you’ve ACCOMPLISHED! *pause for effect* They’re gonna see you struttin like the boss you ARE! *pause for effect* That’s because you paid the COST! *pause for effect* They’re gonna see all this, and say “yoooo! WE MADE IT! Let’s celebrate!” *disgusted look* Some might deserve to join you in celebrating the victory over the week, but you’ll need to ask them ALL one question. It’s the theme and refrain of this collaboration by Atlanta’s Future Hendrix, and Toronto’s 6 Man, Drake-Drizzy-Rogers. It’s the same question car chase shawty was asking the cops earlier:
What does it take to be #1? You gotta bite through that pomegranate. You can’t take a high-five and “good job” for participation. GET BETTER, with some #HarrisonFamilyValues . Nelly didn’t answer what it takes. As you start this week, JUST KNOW “2 is not a winner, and 3 nobody remembers“!
