BLIND I SAYS GO! AUGUST 2010 • THE INTERLUDE

I really outdid myself with this one. This…..right here….is my…..most fluid, themed, consistent BISG compilation yet! August’s edition of Blind I Says GO! is giving love to the joints you love but forget to revisit….the Yin to the typical Yang of selections that jump out at us on out favorite records….yes that’s right, the INTERLUDE! When I came up with this concept I had a few special ones in mind that I’d always loved, but I had no idea I’d be able to pick 40 tracks that combined into an hour-long mindgasm of sonic delicacy. You like my wordplay I know you do. All the greats are here along for the ride too — 112, Little Brother, Hi-Tek, Usher, Talib Kweli, Sa-Ra, Brand New Funk, Justin Timberlake, Sonnymoon, I, CED, Common, Bilal, The Neptunes, N.E.R.D., Group Home, Outkast, SWV, Dwele, Drake, Missy Elliott, Kelis, Timbaland & Magoo, John Legend, Mayer Hawthorne, Yesterday’s New Quintet, Erykah Badu, Diddy, B.I.G., Madlib, Jay-Z, Janelle Monaé, Jake One, Dilla, Gang Starr, Dimlite, Dert, Constrobuz, Beat Maker Beat, Sol+10….I mean C’MON SON!

ADULT SWIM & BEATERATOR PRESENTS: ATL RMX

Really. One month without a Macbook and I missed out on all this goodness? WTF.

Our favorite cartoon hooligans joined forces with Rockstar and Timbaland to release this collection of ATL artists remixed by some of best underground producers out there (El-P, XXXchange, Flying Lotus, Prefuse 73 etc etc). All for effin’ free.

I love it.

LUPE FIASCO – SAY SOMETHING + ALL THE WAY TURNT UP (FREESTYLES)

Amidst the jokers and fakers, Lupe Fiasco has remained the truth in the booth. His talent displayed on tracks is often effortless, and these two new freestyles, “Say Something” over thew new Timbaland x Drake track, and “All The Way Turnt Up” are no exceptions. I for one can’t wait until We Are Lasers drops, but until then Chicagoans have something to look forward to this weekend, because Lupe is performing on Halloween at the Congress Theatre. Indulge in the two new freestyles!

SOME DRAKE LOOSIES

Here’s some new Wheelchair Jimmy for you Drake stans. This dude is still pretty good, but that flow of his is getting more boring every time I hear a new track. With that said, he’s still better than 98% of everything else out right now. Here’s Say Something (off Timbaland’s Shock Value II), Believe It Or Not (featuring Gucci Mane), Beautiful Music (just a reference track), and as a bonus Play Ball (featuring Soulja Boy). FYI I think the Soulja Boy track is TRASH but the Drake verse is aiight. Partake you monkeyyyyyys….

BLIND I PRESENTS THE NEPTUNES – DECEMVIR

Snoop Dogg – Pass It Pass It (Feat. Pharrell) (Advance Version)

I’ve been working on this for a LOOOONG time and I finally completed another masterpiece. For those not in the know, The Neptunes are a record production duo consisting of Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, who are credited with contributing the sound for some successful Hip hop, R&B and Pop artists in the late-90s and 2000s. The Neptunes’ sound is a distinctive brand of off-kilter, stripped-down electronic funk. Along with Timbaland and Dr. Dre they were the driving force behind many of the musical characteristics of late-90s/2000s hip-hop, helping to re-introduce sci-fi style sounds into the hip-hop mainstream, along with sounds from Middle Eastern and Asian music including percussion and woodwind.

I decided a few months back to make a collection of my favorite rare, b-side, and unreleased Neptunes production, from 1999 to 2009, in order to create a dedication to over 10 years of next-level music that still stands the test of time. I swear listening to these tracks puts you in a state of mind where everything’s better around you. Decemvir, which is the latin term for “ten“, is used to describe this decade of incredible works from the stellar production duo. Their music can speak for itself more than anything I can say, so without further ado, I give you…

JAY-Z – REMINDER (PRODUCED BY TIMBALAND)

That’s a little better, Jay. Just a little. 3rd release from Jay’s BP3, produced by Timbaland. Beat’s a tad bit better than that Jay/Drake record and at least Jay has some lines in this. Partake!

MAIYA PRESENTS…RENDEZVOUS VOL.2

Hello Blind I. Me again. Before life became ultra busy, I used to write lots of poems. I have books full. To me, these mixes are kind of like musical poems. They’re a glimpse into my head. This edition is full of drums, drums and more DRUMS (Chocolate Star) and SYNTHESIZERS (Dam Funk). Both equally rendezvous-like if you tap your imagination. Round of applause to NO for the artwork. He and $ are amazing at what they do. Enough rambling.

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE – BETTER NOT TOGETHER

You know how hard it is to find a non-freakyboy pic of Justin Timberlake on the internet. I don’t think you do. Anyway, this is a NEW joint from everybody’s guilty pleasure musical artist, produced by Danja if I’ve been informed correctly. It’s got some DJ drops but nothing major. Partake and throw it on your playlists until I hit you guys with the CDQ!
