Talib Kweli - “Country Cousins (feat. UGK)”

May we all be as chill and fun as this song.

EDIT: Lesson Learned, don’t use a SoundCloud URL you don’t control. They go away.

Lil Wayne f/ Lil B - “Grove St. Party” (Mixtape, 2011)

Well this was sort of anticlimactic.

…

At least you can tell B was super happy to just be in the studio with his hero, which is the epitome of #based. Wayne doesn’t even offer us any joy. But dude has reached that rare rap star plateau, previously occupied by Jay-Z and Jay-Z only, where listeners are completely unable to think critically about his work. As if we should be honored that he even put music in our ears. Thank you Wayne God.

Tell me about it. Even before dude went to prison he was sounding more and more like a slightly-better-than-Drake Drake.

At least Lil’ B is still on top of his game (just not here). Go get I’m Gay, for goodness sake.

The Mountain Goats - New Zion

I lay down by the water
Dreamed a dream of where I come from
Old things made new
Waiting for you

I will
run until
there’s nowhere
left to run. 
Stick with me, kid.

The Dears are awesome.

Mock Orange - “Roll Your Eyes”

You are the cause of all your trouble.
You’re the one that makes you feel ok.
But you grab the remote control
and you really need to know you’re a part of the play.
