Album of the Day?

So I've been trying to brainstorm a weeks worth of ideas but in all honesty I've kind of been pre-occupied with random chores and what not so I kind of only really been listening to a few of the same albums and songs repeatedly.

One more recent album I've decided to give a good listen is the recent Kendrick Lamar LP To Pimp a Butterfly which in all honesty might be the best god damn rap album I've heard maybe ever and the critical press seems to be having an utter field day with this album to the point where I'm seeing it have probably the highest scores of any album in quite some time and in all honesty it all seems very well deserved because this isn't a club banging collection of overly long jams that kind of drag on after listening to the album after a while but rather a very conscientious effort that really seems to have a lot to say and takes every opportunity to say it.

I'm pretty sure this may be considered a classic before we know it although I will say that this album kind of has a 90's throwback in a lot of it's instrumentals which is completely irrelevant but still give this album a fucking listen it's great....

Song of the Day 1/27/15



So soundtracks their a fun way to take a bunch of people who have no purpose being on the same CD and giving them an outlet to basically market a Mix CD which in all honesty I only ever find to be any bit useful when they have a few choice tracks that I can nitpick or every once in a blue moon their just a place for any particular artist to hide some of their best hidden gems of tunes and that’s what I think I’m going to cover this week my favorite tunes from various soundtracks that I’ve heard over the years so let’s quit Bullshitting you people and get to probably the best song to ever be on a film soundtrack…

Party and Bullshit-The Notorious B.I.G.( Originally on who’s the Man Soundtrack)

You know as I get older I find myself being more of a Biggie guy and if there was a tune that probably convinced me to his utter bad assery it’d be this overlooked bit of awesome that was actually his debut track in the form of this very good times joint that is also my favorite tune to blast when I’ve knocked back a few brews…
