The Urban Retro Playlist

It seems like the rate at which rape is occurring is too high. I mean, I turned on my TV to watch some soccer then I just saw Ramos and Ronaldo straffing Bayern. I tried calling for help but it dint go through (I use a particular network, the situation is bad). Also Today i was watching the Chelsea game and the bus capsized i mean what is going on one minute they were leading then wham bam they just started chopping it. Well i just had to illustrate the scenarios as  I witnessed. Enjoy!!!

I'm very sad that Liverpool may still not win the league (a moment of silence for them). Well there is still hope though. But it doesn't stop me from trolling them sha, so enjoy em while its still hot.

Recently for some reason i have been going back to some old albums and for some reason i got addicted to My Dark Sick Twisted Fantasy  by Kanye West released in 2010, The guy is just an Evil genius, asin ehn this album proved it. Though He is deviating in a way but the guy is just G.O.O.D (Lol, hope you get it ). The song of the day in particular is Blame Game featuring John Legend, I think if you know found out the kind of effort that went into the production you would appreciate it more. My favorite line from the song was when he was like " We got dirt on each other like mud wrestlers ...You gettin black mailed by that white girl...". The song was very explict  he spoke about violent affection, being "private lovers but public enemies " and a lot of other themes where expressed. Also according to Wikipedia " Kanye West told  Amber Rose that both "Blame Game" and the Runaway film were partially inspired by his relationship with her." Also at the end of the song there was this extra explicit rendition a skit by Chris Rock where  He had a conversation( If i can even call it that) with a girl He just banged it was kinda hilarious but some people found it hilarious, I consider it a bit of both. Well this song was also featured in the the 35 minute video(short film) that was made for the  My Dark Sick Twisted Fantasy album. This is my second best Kanye album ant this is one of my favorite songs.

The song of the day is Sing About Me, I'm Dying Of Thirst off the Good Kid M.A.A.D city album by Kendrick Lamar released late in 2011. This is like one of my best songs,  asin the story he was telling was just too deep and epic and the the effects the producer used complemented the story he was telling awesomely. I would briefly explain the story how I understand it. The first verse he was playing the character of a friend who 'envied' his lifestyle but couldn't become like him. He wanted him to talk about him when he made it. The second verse was connected to his previous project "Section 80", in one of the songs (I think its most likely Keisha's Song but it also be Tammy's Song) someone was pissed at him for talking about their sister and made how she lived. The attention he was bringing to her was unnecessary. Also, she required that lifestyle she adopted to survive. The last verse talks about several things, notably The after life, him trying to inspire people and teach them about the consequences of bad choices and or making the wrong decisions, also right before the Dying of Thirst side of the song began there was a part (kinda like a skit or something cut out from a movie) that sheds more light of the verse. Then the end of the first and second verse were complemented with effects that were related to the last things he said.The Dying of thirst part of the song had a faster beat and a completely different tune, then the background consisted of female vocals that ran through that side of the song. He trying to tell people in the M.A.A.D city to refrain from the lifestyle they have adopted. Then he suggested they find their passion and or they should embrace religion, and at the end of the verse there was another short skit (if I can call it that) where there were some guys that were persuaded to giving their life to Christ. This song is a classic and if you actually take your time to listen and make a good effort understand what he was trying express, you just would feel it.

In anticipation of the world cup (yup just 57 day more im so excited!!!) Im going to be showing the jerseys according to groups. I think they have officially relesed them all so yeah lets go.


                                                       Brazil (Home & Away)

The song of the day is Echo by Bad Meets Evil (That is Eminem and Royce da 5'9) featuring Liz Rodriguez of the Hell The Sequel Album released in 2011. Twenty eleven  was a very good year, I remember a lot of good rap and even other albums came out that year. But back to the matter (open and close...) The song began with the chorus from Liz the song talks about chasing the "Echo" no matter the situation, then Eminem and Royce had their own separate verses and just did their thing. Actually in this song I think Royce had a better verse than Eminen, I really like the way he started the verse and his word play was too on point and he was just too consistent through it all. Liz Rodriguez was also spot on on the hook and her vocals were also in the back ground through all the verses. This isn't one of the most popular songs on the album but still its one of my favorites.

The song of the day is Booty Call by the Mo Hits All Stars from their C.V album from like 2007. I heard it recently and I was amazed how good the production was and it has become my Jam again. In the song every member at the time had a verse except The Don though, then Wande Coal just killed the hook. The song is a party track, so obviously it wasn't lyrically strong at all. But each of them went and just had fun on their verses. The tune of the song is cool and quite catchy. Also it shows how Nigerian music has been able to evolve (thought they are still not there yet).  Well it sad that they had to break up, listening to them was so much fun they had other cool songs like this.

The song of the day is Jargo (Aint Nobody) by Jesse Jagz featuring Tesh Cater and Chacka Kahn from his third studio album Jags Nation Vol 2: The Royal Niger Company that was  just released about 7 days ago. This is the third Jargo song Jesse Jagz has done, he has done one on each album he has released i wrote on the other Jargo previously. The song has this military guy at the intro guy telling his troops some stuff, then the outro had this old school song that I cant quite recall. The main song had this dope chorus and this progressive beat I can't even explain the instruments he used . The at intervals in the chorus you hear the military mans voice. The production was too crazy but what do you expect it Jesse Jags. The same went for other songs on the album, he used a spoon and a bottle to make part of the beat of a song if you listen to it with reasonably good earphones or speakers you would feel the presence of the sound if you know what I mean. But back to the matter (open and close...) he just dropped some cool verses on the on the track and the chorus complemented it nicely. Well all I can say is I recommend you listen to the song and the whole album if possible.

The song of the day is Show me by Kid Ink featuring Chris Brown released as a single in 2013 but it was off his 2014 album My Own Lane. The song reminds me of something I don't know what it is. Yeah the song is just a jam though it a bit stale now i still jam it on a regular. It has this lowkey vibe but it could also be an upbeat song. I've liked Kid Ink for that, the first song I heard from him Low-key Popping has that similar vibe though it was slower. The song has gone platinum since it was released and has done well on several charts. But to be honest it was Breezy that killed it sha. See if you haven't heard it your on a long thing so listen to it now!(or whenever you have time, its no big)
