Blind I | The Boutique Music Blog | Quality Over Quantity. » Kanye West http://www.blindiforthekids.com Thu, 24 May 2012 06:38:28 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 SULAIMAN-PAST PERFECT http://www.blindiforthekids.com/2011/12/sulaiman-past-perfect/ http://www.blindiforthekids.com/2011/12/sulaiman-past-perfect/#comments Tue, 06 Dec 2011 18:01:57 +0000 Maiya http://www.blindiforthekids.com/?p=26869 I stopped what I was doing to immediately check out and post $ulaiman’s new project Past Perfect. The phrase “steel sharpens steel” usually applies to a symbiotic relationship, but when it comes to Suli, he’s sharpening his own skills through diligence, hard work and consistency. I’ve listened to every tape he’s put out (check the archives) and this project shows incredible range. Whether production wise or lyrically, there is something for everyone on Past Perfect. Songs to groove to, zone out to, dance to. A little bit of everything! I pulled out a few of my favorites for you but do yourself a favor and hit the skip for the tracklist, link and some recent footage of him at Onyx 2.0. #Church

Last Monday, April 11th at 10:43AM, my daughter Ajané arrived into the world. It was the most beautifulest thing in the world without a doubt. Being “on call” for the whole month of March & April kinda put a roadblock in my head as to what ‘theme’ I wanted to execute for Aprils NKD & as I pondered the thoughts I lowkey was already playing the soundtrack & not even knowing it. Playing songs that I felt related to what I was going through or have gone through or what I want to achieve as a man & as a father to my children. About a week before the 15th (sorry for the delay… been busy changing diapers n schitt. pun.) I finally decided to dedicate this months NKD to the babies. The children. The kids! But no… not on some Yo Gabba Gabba or Kids Sing Along schitt… naw… on some grown folks – grown biz – type of musical growth if you will. Whether you are a mother or a father, raising your sons or daughters, this edition goes harder to marauder & slaughter any biologicals that don’t bother. I breaks water! hahaha Naw pho trill tho… I’m on Cloud 9000 & 99! Blind I For The Kids… literally.

Sigh…right…so I was sitting…making the comp…and I kept thinking…man…what would I want the.er…ideal…woman to sound like if I had to describe her musically….and this happened. I feel incredibly fluffy making this and I’ll more than likely overcompensate this feeling by making an outlandishly ignorant comp for March. Playlist and shit under the covers. Stop laughing at me.

Like many of us,  he was fortunate enough to become a hip-hop fan in the Golden Era where the rawest of the raw was coming out. Now he’s witnessed the common debate about whether or not the new rappers are any good  and comparing them to the vets. To highlight the talent in the new school, he put together this mix. Dope! Hit the skip for tracklisting.
