A reason for living. A deeper meaning.

As I write this I am in my room in the dark listening to Neil Young's "After the Gold Rush". I'm sipping on tall cans of juice and thinking about going out tonight. I'm really feeling it right now. Which roughly translates to me being embarrassed of a drunk post. That being said I'm just gonna avoid criticism by making a post themed on quasi embarrassing songs.

n.1. HOT CHIP. An synth pop band that are just weird and are getting enough hype. But that's not what's embarrassing, its the fact that I actually like this song because of the wrestling theme. As a kid I LOVED professional wrestling and I rarely admit this. The lyrics are cheesy. Cheesy lyrics are only cheesy if you want them to be. The song is called WRESTLING.



Next up is LIL WAYNE. An artist I blast a lot for being fucking stupid. Like deciding to be a crack dealer after 5 albums or wearin blue bandannas at one point and then deciding to be a blood. The song is called DONT TRIP. I actually like it apart from his disingenuous line saying he's "up in little haïti". I am more Haïtian than Lil Wayne and I am actually not kidding. That being said I straight up love this song.



Finally we have a terrible and terribly catchy song by THE WOMBATS called LETS DANCE TO JOY DIVISION. Which is about dancing to joy division. If you listen to the lyrics you will literally want to kill yourself. That being said I was driving alone late at night coming back from MTL and I actually sang along to the song while it played on the radio. Probably one of the lowest moments of my life. Fuck, I can't believe I am opening up like this to the internet world, revealing my darkest secrets.




i'm drunk.

Call you up but what's the use

Getting a BMX was the best thing I did this summer. Like I always say its a car you can drive drunk! Giving rides to people on the pegs is where it's at (shout out to katou shopping, p-skilz, c-dubs and the spraklez). Funny that the only time I ever injured myself on the bike was when I was standing motionless. I was bit juiced up outside the Babylon nightclub and for some reason I fell down like a tree. I drunkenly BMXed home and woke up the next morning with blood on my sheets my shin had gushed pretty good without me ever realizing it. But I swear to god it's safe to get on the big baby mobile, lil africa will get you home safe. There's a sort of west coast theme today but not really.


First video is fairly new having come out in late april. It's from Torontonian electro duo CRYSTAL CASTLES. I vote that castles becomes the new "wolf" aka a word that is in every single band name. Imagine bands called white castles or frank castles? it could work... Uh... Anyways I don't know much about the group but the video is pretty cool. Alice Glass playing with her hoodie reminds of my ultrafriend JOSÉE BUSINESS.



Ok now I'm bringing 1998 back. The embryonic stage of the south's dominance of mainstream rap. HA by JUVENILE. The first star out of Cash Money records. Lil Wayne is the big thing right now and pitchfork is severely viagra'd on him to the point they were defending him when The Clipse finally fired back at his ridiculous bullshit. Music journalism will look back and be embarrassed for giving such praise to this kid. He will be the flock of seagulls of our generation. And this isn't me hating I like a lot of his songs but not to the point of viagra side effect giving boners. ANYWAYS my fuckin point is that you can briefly see his 15 year old ass in this video hiding behind Juvenile. Funny side story this video made me miss the bus in grade 9. To me it was like a hip hop punk song. I had never heard anything like it, the weird rhymes the thumping snare. Also you can see that pre-Katrina Nawlins was still a hell hole. When the vice principal asked me why I was late I told him all about Juvenile. The asshole still gave me detention.



To wrap it up we are going mellow. ICE CUBE - TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY. Ice Cube on his good days (get it?) is in my top 5 rappers of all time. Downtempo music from warm climates FTW.

SNOOP! He is one of the only big rappers today who can really freestyle off the top his head. One CLASSIC Rap City Freestyle that goes super long and an impromptu freestyle off 106 & Park. These are the videos you want to click today.
