Jay-Z & Kanye West - Otis (Ft. Otis Redding)
Looking like wealth, I’m about to call the Paparrazi on myself.
Oh Kanye.
This song makes up for the disappointment of H.A.M.
Sorry 4 the Wait - Lil’ Wayne
Of course Lil’ Wayne apologizes for his album delay over an Adele beat. Why wouldn’t he?
Trouble on My Mind - Pusha T feat. Tyler, The Creator
I feel like I might be too old to “get with it” with Tyler the Creator. But along side Pusha T, I can get behind this guy. (No Homo!!!)
heart of the city (ain’t no love)
One of my favorite Jay-Z songs of all time.
“What you eat don’t make me shit…”
Secret Wars Part 1. - The Last Emperor
The best late 90’s rap song about comic book characters fighting emcee’s ever.
“What if I had the power to gather all my favorite emce’s,
and illest comic book characters and they became archenemies? “
My Life - Styles P Feat. Pharoahe Monch
Was doing pull-ups at work when this song came on in my head. One of my all time favorites.
Chalk this up under Thug Editing.
I Got Work to Do - Mayer Hawthorne
This song will make you dance and sing out of key. Well, at least it does for me. Mayer Hawthorne dropped a free EP of covers. It’s the only thing I’ve played all week. Get it HERE.
Layla (Unplugged) - Eric Clapton
Bought the new Eric Clapton album, Clapton, today. It’s good, but just made me go and download his Unplugged album.
My favorite part is the random guy in the crowd that yells when Clapton first sings “Layla.” Was that guy just excited or did it just take that long for him to realize what song it was?
Cold Beverage - G. Love & Special Sauce
Woke up, did six jumping jacks, four pushups, and then hit the showers. Great way to start your birthday. Got to work and then this song jumped in my head.
Real American - Hulk Hogan Entrance and General Awesome Song
If you didn’t think I woke up and immediately played this song, well then, you know nothing about me.
T.R.O.Y - Pete Rock & CL Smooth
The big homie HumanityCritic posted this article about how First Lady Michelle Obama likes to work out to this song.
SIDEBAR: This is the America I grew up dreaming of.
Danger Mouse - Nas and Portishead “It Ain’t Hard to Tell” Remix
Just remembered about this little gem courtesy of freshman year of college. DJ Nice Rec had this on vinyl and had to convert it analog style. Used in the first thing I ever made for UPTV (then the Creation Station). Catch the Lothrop What What commercial HERE.
Nate Dogg was as integral to the popularity of West Coast gangster rap an anyone. He will be missed.
The Start of Something - Voxtrot
This cute girl once put this song on a mixtape for me. I randomly listened to it the other day and looked the band up. Turns out they are awesome… and no longer together. Sounds like me and my relationship with Slack’s Hoagie Shack…
Anyways, fuck being sad. It’s Friday, dance, kick, repeat!
This is my favorite jam off the new Childish Gambino EP. I had to rewind the Rashida Jones part a few times.
Get this album off his site for free. Use google to find it. I did.
Not Going Back - Childish Gambino
“When I wanna be a superhero, I just wake up.”
New Childish Gambino…. Good Morning!
I’m Jon Hill. I think life is an
amazing and potentially short
experience. Enjoy it. I make films,
take photos, invent stuff, and try to make people
smile. Just live and love life
and everything will work out.
As my dad always said, "It always does."
Stop by everyday
if you want. I’ll be here.
- Jon Hill
I hope I made you smile. If I did, would you consider donating to my favorite charity?
