I GO HARDCORE

I've been meaning to post some of these tracks forever, in a long-promised hip-hop/rap post. Especially since DJ FUCKING PRETENTIOUS took over posting all of his bullshit nu-disco shit (what are you, French?). SO unAmerican.

This right here? 100% homegrown. Except for Sinden and Bok Bok, but whatever.

Favorite song of the last month, no joke. Another one of those tracks that I'm SURE my neighbors/roommates hate me for. Once that bassline kicks in, you're dead.

I posted this already, but fuckit.

Trina will always be relevant, if only in MY HEART.
Trina - Waist So Skinny featuring Rick-Ross by dbbTRINA

For your obligatory terrible but somehow still awesome (to me) song, we've got Look At Me. I mean, Lil' Scrappy and Night Slugs' own Bok Bok? HOW CAN YOU GO WRONG????

Turn your subs up to 11, put on all the bling you own, and hit PLAY. You'll thank me later.

Also, best Metro find EVER:
Yes, that IS a blinged-out Kool Aid Man. You're jealous.

DUBSTEP + UNIDENTIFIED RAPPER + MANATEES = ??????

Continuing in the hallowed tradition of posting legitimately terrible music on this here blog, I present to you Pick Your Poison:


Yeah I posted this because of the manatee, so what? It's awful. And Diplo is usually so on point! Here's some ear bleach courtesy of the man himself:

QUE QUE QUE QUE QUE

Dubstep is stupid and dead (disregard the future posts I'll make on it, for real). I am already legitimately embarassed about my previous obsession with it. Sort of. I like bass?

Friends, let us talk about moombahton (moom-ba-tone). This is officially the greatest new genre of music ever. What's even better? Dave Nada/Nadastrom of DC/Baltimore fame created the entire genre. Stone cold local reppin'. All you are going to hear for the next year is this style. And maybe some other hip-hoppy things, which I will post later.

Diplo and Mad Decent just released Blow Your Head Vol. 2, their moombahton compilation and primer. Last week I went to the release party and HOLY GOD. Holy God. Buy/download it at their store.

Here's the big single:

And here's Diplo's sexy mixtape and sexy album cover (WARNING: EXPOSED LADY PARTS):

LISTEN TO ALL OF THEM, RIGHT NOW. I seriously cannot post enough of this stuff.

PS - for you DC kids, there are two moombahton dance nights at the U St Music Hall. Block off July 10th and 27th please. I am going to all of them, forever.
