Music: Paul Wall - "Live It (Feat. Jay Electronica, Raekwon, & Yelawolf)"

Paul Wall is back, and on one of my favorite kind of tracks...what I call the "unexpected-WTF-collaboration"...I mean Paul Wall w/ Raekwon I get...the two toured Africa as part of that MTV blood diamonds special a few years back....I get Paul Wall and Yelawolf....that's not a stretch....but throw Jay Elec in there and you've got that WTF? factor (we saw this yesterday too, when Gucci & Talib Kweli's collaboration dropped)...and guess what, we love it!....(Did we mention is was nice to see Paul Wall back too)....Next up?  How about Immortal Technique & O.J. Da Juiceman?....Mos Def & Soulja Boy?....Dead Prez & Waka Flocka?....These are more interesting collabos than your standard "Let's get Luda-Busta-or Jadakiss-on-this-record-for-the-800th-time" type of collabos we usually see....However, we should note that sometimes reaching for a collabo can set you up for wackness...Case and point...Anybody remember when Three 6 Mafia, Snoop Dogg, and Ol' Dirty Bastard (God Rest His Soul) thought the cool thing to do was get on a track with Insane Clown Posse?....Not a good look.

Music: Craft Spells - "Party Talk"

Craft Spells is the Californian duo Justin Vallesteros and Frankie Soto, Party Talk is their attempt at a genre they call "Dream Pop"....I'm not exactly sure what that is, but if I had to pick a song out of my itunes that most closely matched this proposed genre, it'd have to be this song, so damn catchy that you just can't stop listening.  Summer is here, it's the 4th of July weekend, life is good, thank you Craft Spells.

Throwback Jam of the Week: Naughty By Nature - "Feel Me Flow" + "Jamboree"

For me, no Hip-Hop group epitomizes the summer vibe quite like Naughty.  Coming out of New Jerz in the early 90's, they took Hip-Hop by storm rapping about "Other People's..." well, if you're a real hip-hop head you know how that sentence ends, but anytime I get itunes block in the summertime and i've burnt out the latest radio hit, and don't know what to go with Naughty is always there to provide the perfect soundscape to match the warm-weather.  Below are the two Naughty By Nature hits that, at least for me, put me in that summertime frame of mind.  Enjoy.
