...I wanted to make a lengthy, profound, interesting blog post for the 'whatever you want' week, but the Laker game just went into triple overtime and my head is about to explode.
Sorry.
PS: Does anyone else follow March Madness? My bracket is screwed beyond belief. If yours is worst, post the link in the comments so I feel a little bit better.
PPS: RIP Nate Dogg, a west coast hip hop legend. I grew up hearing choice cuts from Dr. Dre's album 'Chronic 2001' in which Nate had spectacular verses. His voice smoothed out the hardest, rawest gangster rap tracks in the 90's, and he performed on a few contemporary tracks, most notably 50 Cent's '21 Questions'. Just a few weeks ago, some friends and I went on a road trip and 'Chronic 2001' is a staple of the CD rotation. Whenever Nate's silky voice came on, everyone in the car immediately sings along, no matter how hedonistic the lyrics, because his voice had that kind of effect on hip hop lovers. His absence on Dr. Dre's upcoming album will be felt, and he will be missed.
Also, late edit, but:
I'm a sucker for hip hop instrumentals, and this is easily one of my favorite beats by one of my favorite producers of all time. It's a simple 4 or 5 chord progression repeated over and over but I can seriously just listen to it on repeat for a long time, it's that good.
Kansas will win.
ReplyDeleteGlad your head didn't explode.

ReplyDeleteI do not much about Nate Dogg, other than he grew up with Snoop Dogg, but I feel your pain.
ReplyDeleteR.I.P. Nate Dogg ..did you see the sweet tatoo snoop dogg got on his arm in honor of Nate? It's dope! It's a picture of him and on the bottom it says "all doggs go to heaven"
