Update 30 (Quasimoto, Madlib)

The Unseen (cover)

B-b-b-b-b-ack again!
I'm finally here again, had 2 very busy weeks but all should be mellow now ;) I'll try to update my blog more often from now on!



This time I wanted to talk about an album I've really been listening to lately, it's actually somewhat strange but still very, very nice. The album I'm talking about is Quasimoto's Unseen. Quasimoto is an alias of Madlib. The album came out in 2000. It's got kind of funny aspects but also strange features. Madlib actually raps himself on the album, either with his normal voice or a more high pitched voice. The productions on the album are the strongest part of the album by far! Some of my favorite beats on the album are from Boom Music, Bluffin' and Astro Travellin'. The raps are pretty good but mostly entertaining, it's kind of story telling with alot of samples from classic tracks. I'm really excited about the album because it the album was just something new. I still don't know any albums that give this feeling from another Producer/MC. It's a real fresh breath of air. It's something I never heard before on another hip-hop album.

Update 29 (Pharoahe Monch, Common, Talib Kweli, Jake One, Freeway, Brother Ali and Quasitmoto a.k.a. Madlib)

Ah snap, havn't updated in almost a week, shame on me. Lots of work at school etc. should be fine after next Friday though.
Nevertheless here's a new update!

Pharoahe Monch, I havn't referred to this MC alot on my blog yet. To be honest I didn't know alot of music of him but this week I've been listening to his album called Internal Affairs. I really liked it so here are some tracks of off it.

Freeway

 

Pharoahe Monch - The Truth (Feat. Common & Talib Kweli)
Definitely my favorite off the album
Pharoahe Monch - Simon Says
Pharoahe Monch - Right Here

Some completely different and more recent music by Freeway, Brother Ali and producer Jake One. Really liked this one track someone sent me by them, so I started to listen some more music by them
Jake One feat. Freeway & Brother Ali - The Truth
Freeway & Jake One - Know What I Mean



Two tracks from a new album I got from Madlib under his alias Quasimoto. The album is partly instrumental and parts with raps, it features Madlib rapping in a high pitched voice (as Quasimoto) The album is actually quite weird but though I really like it, it's really something new! The lines are kind of funny and the production/beats are really the greatest part of the tracks.
Quasimoto - Boom Music
Quasimoto - Bluffin'

Update 28 (Masta Ace, Scarface, Nas, The Firm, Quan)

Random tracks today

Starting off with Masta Ace. He first appeared on the track 'The Symphony' by the Juice Crew (Craig G, Kool G Rap and Big Daddy Kane.
Eminem said Masta Ace always has been his nr.1 influence. He has always been a pro in what he does!
Masta Ace - Beautiful

Masta Ace

Just because I think it's a beautiful track, a masterpiece
Masta Ace - Good ol' Love
Another great track.
Masta Ace - Acknowlegde
Some beef with a minor dude called Boogieman or something. He bitch-moved on Masta in a freestyle (well, he wrote his lyrics) He brought Masta shame with this 'freestyle' so this was a diss back, Boogieman wasn't anyone anyways.



Scarface, not the mobster but the rapper. In my opinion one of the best rappers I know from the 'Dirty South'. He's been a member of the Geto Boys. Great rapper!

Scarface

Scarface - On My Block 
Scarface - In Between Us (Feat. Nas) 


Nas, been talking about the legend in a previous post! Just legendary like always
Nas - Memory Lane (Sittin' in da Park) 
The Firm - Phone Tap 
The Firm is a group consisting of Nas, AZ, Dr. Dre, Foxy Brown and Nature, the group didn't last too long unfortunately. 
Nas - Just A Moment (Feat. Quan)
