Below is the latest edition of our weekly feature, Stuck On Repeat. The premise is simple, we’ve asked all our contributors to submit one track and a brief write-up. The track can be new or it can be old, just whatever we could not stop listening to this week. These are the songs we’ve had Stuck On Repeat.
:: selected by: V :: Obsolete – Surreal Lullaby (ft. Erykah Badu & Common)
In the same way that I don’t do hard drugs but enjoy the fuck out of coke rap, I don’t drive but love songs that sound like cruising the outskirts of LA. Came across Melbourne producer Obsolete (Reiss Latimer) this week, and the guy has perfected the sound of rooftop drinking, front stoop sitting summertime. Downtempo beat music doesn’t get near enough credit. Obsolete’s tracks are slick, but equally experimental. My favorite is “Surreal Lullaby” which samples Erykah Badu and Common. The vocals work effortlessly with the beats, and I challenge anyone to say there’s no beauty or interest in the downtempo genre after listening to this track. I wish more DJs played this kind of stuff out. Don’t be afraid to keep that dancefloor grown & sexy.
:: selected by: BryanB :: Marble Players – Marble Anthem
To be honest, Surkin, the French producer and DJ, could have released anything and it would be stuck on repeat for me. I still haven’t stopped listening to his Next of Kin EP from a couple of years ago. Marble Players is his collaboration with the talented Para One and their joint track, “Marble Anthem” actually does a great job of creating a true love child of each of their talents and spheres. Big fuzzy samples and soulful vocal snippets (a mostly Surkin realm) merge seamlessly with Para’s clean synths and crisp percussion. “Marble Anthem” sounds like a big, banging intro to even better things to come. Hope so.
:: selected by: Moneyworth :: E-40 (ft. Keak da Sneak) – Tell Me When To Go (Clams Casino Remix)
My Bay Area fetish was largely catalyzed in 2006 upon hearing “Tell Me When To Go” and Mistah FAB’s “Ghost Ride It.” “Ghost Ride It” was more of a novelty pleasure, but “Tell Me When To Go,” to me, is one of the best West Coast rap songs of all time. It’s catchy, it’s hilarious, it’s so representative of a specific time and place, it has so much fantastic hyphy slang, and it slaps hard as fuck; I know it’s one of the most “mainstream” hyphy songs (probably the hyphy ambassador to the rest of the U.S., in fact) but that’s for a reason. Anyway, my new favorite Jersey boy, Clams Casino, just released a whole bunch of instrumentals and rap remixes from 2006, some fantastically prototypical mid-2000’s ish, with Clams’ signature static-y lushness washing over it all. The “Tell Me When To Go” remix is the best, but the whole thing is totally worthwhile, and the nice folks at Space Age Hustle zipped ‘em all up for your convenience here. Go stupid (dumb, dumb).
:: selected by: Jams Dean :: Henny B – On Deck
If you know me, you know that I love female emcees a little too much. I wasn’t even going to date the boo I’m with now until she called and left 16 bars in my voicemail. I don’t know what it is, (Kid Sister you still don’t call me back) but when a girl picks up the mic I just want to give them all the support because the gender diversity in hip-hop should be a little more 50-50 than 90-10, for real. A lot of times, whenever a rap crews picks a femcee it seems like they skip over skills and get the dumb ho with ass implants that just happened to be in King magazine last week. I know, you already know this and it’s a tired subject, but it’s still real. Maybe I like female rappers so much because I get tired of dudes talking about how much brain they get. I don’t know. Don’t contemplate it, it makes you complicated. Listen to Henny B, this girl can rhyme better than you dudes. Fresh off her new Loud Life mixtape, we got “On Deck.” Chi town swag / So I mean mug / Left eye, cause I don’t need a scrub
