Jumping in Headfirst

Going old school rock with this one. Back when they used to name themselves after states and cities and whatnot. I love this song. Blame Scrubs. Forgive the corny lyrics in the video...or not, and sing along if that's your thing.

Okay, so I'm not a huge Hall and Oates fan. ...Not really. I copped the best of way way back though and I'm a huge fan of THAT. 20 tracks and almost all of them are amazing stuff. Here's one of my favorites. She's Gone. Does this have something to do with my current state? ...Not really. Hope you love it, though admittedly the album is cooler, where I guess they played with Hall's voice so its extra-deep--works very well.

And so we're up with the song of the day, again. Jeez, its like these things are...daily or something. :D Anyway, another group I'm a huge fan of, is Little Brother. They really are pretty much everything I'm looking for in a rap group. They've got the lyrical cleverness, the beats that make my head nod--like they say so often in their songs. "Dope beats, dope rhymes, nigga that's hip-hop." Just..'cause I can't help it...I want to give you guys a Wiki link to Stop the Violence (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_the_Violence). Read the link first--once you listen to the song, you'll see why I wanted you to. Anyway, keepin' it short, onto the show folks.

Another rock song. Go figure. You might think I was...a fan or something. That's the funny thing about Japan. When THEY do a song for a cartoon, or a television show? Its actually good. Imagine that. Rock out.

Video of the Day was some classic hip-hop, so I figured the song of the day should be a sharp contrast. Imagine that. Rock music. And here I was told that, I didn't like rock music. Ain't that about a bitch. Me and my two best friends are the only black people in town who listen to rock as much as rap (also one of the few people who enjoyed J-Rock, at that), but apparently, I don't like it. Man...screw it. Just...listen to the song. Jihei Tansaku actually probably wasn't a big favorite of mine when I first heard it, but a couple months ago I had my mp3 player on random and this song came up and something about the intro got me really hyped and made me love it. But, shutting up now. Listen to the song folks.

Okay, trying to get away from the MJ stuff now, so we're going to move away from the King of Pop, and move to a person some might call the King of Hip-Hop. Working on being slightly more succinct, in my posts, so no long stories or whatever. Its good music. Speaks for itself. Enjoy.

So yesterday I did some of MJ's hits as a solo act. But you know he was inspiring people through his music in a group act with the Jackson 5 for years prior to that. Kids these days probably don't know that, but I can almost guarantee you they've sung a Jackson 5 song at some point in their lives. And while I've never had that many Jackson 5 songs myself, I DO have some favorites. Hit the jump. Never Can Say Goodbye. A definite classic. Admittedly, I'd never heard it before I copped the Man in the Mirror mixtape, but here's one we've all heard, no doubt. (This one's a live.) The Jackson 5's "I Want You Back". Gotta love it. Lastly, there's this one, which I really wanted to do after I heard little MJ do the chorus on Rhymefest's song. As good as Bill Withers' version. ....Now I gotta toss THAT in. Know where your stuff comes from, folks. I ain't like all these people who've never wrote a song in their life but...
