Rappin’ To The Rhythm

15. March 2010 · Filed under: Mixtapes, Music · Leave a Comment 

My latest mixtape is a mix of rap and hip-hop. From older artists like NWA and Slick Rick to newer rappers like Swizz Beatz and Black Eyed Peas, this mix is sure to give you an eargasm.

I’ve been wanting to do a good mixtape via 8tracks of rap and hip-hop for a while now. I like a lot of older rappers but I wanted to make sure I covered everything so I’ve included newer artists as well. This is a long mix, and it’s just the way I like it – dirty dirty. If you are easily offended, this won’t be the mix for you, but if you love some groovy goodness, roll a fattie, hit play, and chillax.

DJ Earworm – United State of Pop 2009

30. December 2009 · Filed under: Music, Videos · 3 Comments 

DJ EarwormThe infamous DJ Earworm has done it again! This famous mashup artist has taken the “Top 25 Billboard Hits of 2009″ and made one super-fucking-duper mashup of all of them! DJ Earworm attempted (and accomplished) this feat last year and has once again done what most mashup artists only wish they could.

If you love mashups as much as I do, then bask in the goodness of United State of Pop 2009 (Blame It on the Pop). With 25 songs clocking in a 4 minutes and 37 seconds, this mashup is another stunning example of how talented DJ Earworm is. I’ve included the track to listen to, the official mashup video, as well as the link to download the song. Here’s a nice farewell to 2009 and I’m looking forward to what DJ Earworm has in store for us in 2010!

No Woman, No Cry

16. October 2008 · Filed under: Music · 9 Comments 

Anyone who has heard of Bob Marley knows the song No Woman, No Cry. It is so popular that it has been covered by artists over and over again. The song is about written about violence and abuse against women. The songs name No Woman, Nuh Cry in Jamaican patois, where the “nuh” means “don’t”, literally translates to No Woman, Don’t cry.

A more accurate rendering of the title in Jamaican patois would be “No, woman, nuh cry”. Nuh, which makes a shorter vowel sound for no, is the equivalent of the contraction don’t.[2]

The song was written by Bob Marley, but the copyright credits go to “V. Ford”, which is Vincent Ford, who ran a soup kitchen in Trenchtown where Marley grew up. These song credits kept this soup kitchen open to serve the poor and needy.

So many have covered it but I’ve chosen a few to include here. While you are listening to your favorite version of the song, remember the reason why it was written and how the power of music and love can overcome anything.
