Finals week has almost pushed Mixtape Monday off the to-do list. I’ve been busier than ever, but didn’t want to disappoint and not come through with some tracks this week. With just over an hour before Tuesday hits, I’m running it close. It wasn’t pretty, but I’ve managed to find enough time to gather some music for you. Not much description given the circumstances, but sometimes it’s best just to let the music do the talking. Enjoy.
One of my favorite Macklemore songs.
Funny, clever song…
Huge fan of the Blue Scholars. Intricate rhymes, awesome flow and conscious lyrics over smooth beats. Saw them live at Paradise Rock Club in Boston. Ill show. (The next song is from Sol, who opened the show for them).
Another awesome underground duo. Rapper RA Scion has an ILL flow, and unique voice. And Sabzi, who is on the production for Common Market is also the producer for the Blue Scholars. Small world.
Macklemore is DOING IT!
He was already beginning to see success with songs, “Irish Celebration” “Otherside” and “Wings.” But he hit another level when he dropped singles “Thrift Shop” and “Same Love.” Since those releases, Mack’s career has elevated to mainstream status. He’s been on countless talk shows, sold out countless shows, and topped charts all over the world. The best part is that he’s doing it in the most genuine, humble way – which is a nice change for mainstream music.
I remember when he was playing at 800-person venues and touring in a van. Since I’ve been listening, I’ve really believed in this guy. And while I’ve been annoyed by the overplaying of “Thrift Shop,” I’m still happy to see how much recognition Macklemore has received. He really deserves it.
Here’s his latest music video, for the song, “Can’t Hold Us” and I was really impressed. I think it’s his best music video so far – There scenery is beautiful, they filmed in a plethora of locations, the shots are on point, and they tweaked the music a little bit, giving it a little extra flavor. Overall great production.
…It’s also nice to hear something other than “Thrift Shop” from Mack, no offense to that song…
