Rapping

This is What Happens When Peter Griffin x Friends Rap to Chris Brown’s ‘Look At Me Now’ [Video]

It’s officially Friday. You know what that means? Let the weekend shenanigans begin! Yay yeah yay! Whether you decide to party it up or go on a nice rendezvous with your friends (or a daring lover), you should totally kick off your weekend with a great laugh.

Today’s laugh comes from this amazing viral video of this super cool guy rapping to Chris Brown’s song “Look At Me Now.” Oh, but it’s not just another wannabe rapper doing a Breezy cover. Nope, it’s way more original; he raps the entire song in Family Guy voices. That’s right, in all the voices from the popular characters from Family Guy. And you know what? His impersonations are dead on!

I’ll admit I can do a pretty good Mr. Herber, you know the old creepy guy…but I couldn’t do all of the voices jumping back and forth from one to the other. Yet, this guy does it flawlessly! His lyrics are witty and the animations on the video are also bound to ensue laughter. So if you’re in the mood for some good weekend comedy, then check out this video. Not only is it super cool, but as a Family Guy fan, I will say it is quite impressive!

I Wanna Go Back #7 | Seamus Haji Reminds Us Why We ♥ The Golden Era of Hip-Hop

You’d think that most DJs and producers who are world-renown for their works in a specific genre, such as Seamus Haji, would only listen to electronic music or house, but that isn’t always the case.

Most DJs and producers often have quite the eclectic taste in music, which is often the driving force of ultimate inspiration for their productions and mixes. So I wasn’t surprised when Seamus Haji released a nice mix called “I Wanna Go Back #7″ which takes us back to the days of hip-hop’s golden era. 

You can exclusively hear the mix on mixcloud.com.

Click here to sit back and reminisce while listening to some of Seamus’ favorite oldschool hip-hop tracks. He’s got good taste.

The mix is pretty good, and he starts off with one of my favorite tracks, “They Reminisce Over You.” Such a timeless track, and it makes me look at the hip-hop I hear on the radio and just shake my head. What the hell happened? How did we go from such methodical lyricism to songs that are made up of first-grader sentences. SMH.

P.S. This isn’t my first time expressing why I love oldschool hip-hop vs. this new radio shit music. Read my thoughts on a post I wrote called “Vintage Rhymes.”

Sound of Summer | BONES ‘The Deep End’ Summer 2012 Mixtape [Free Download]

I’ve heard some pretty good mixes throughout the summer, but the past few weeks I’ve been listening non-stop to Bones: The Deep End Summer 2012 Mixtape.

It doesn’t take much for a mix to catch my attention, especially if it has the right momentum. The thing I love the most about the Bones mixtape is that is has this great fusion of deep, garage, funky bass, tech house, and dirty electro. You’d think that all those genres in one mix would sound messy, but the mix flows perfectly; track transitions are truly on point, never too late or too early.

Oh, and another thing I love about this mix…it’s a free download! So you can totally download it and listen to it while you’re working out or simply running errands. Whatever floats ya boat!

A few of the tracks I’ve heard before, especially the second track by Celsius called “Must Be You.” While other tracks are foreign to me, yet they surely have given me an eargasm. Click here for the complete track listing.

DMV rapper Napoleon Da Legend has finally dropped visuals for “Jewelz Part 3.”
