Some folks talk shit about how I post grime and R&B on a rap blog, so I decided what the fuck, why not throw some house music into it too.

This song is from DJ Funk’s 1995 CD Pumpin’ the Trax which is full of the kind of wild dance music that Chicago was producing in the mid ’90s, some of the craziest (and most compulsively jack-able) “ghetto house” you’ll ever hear. This shit feels dirty, as it should, for dancing with girls your grandma would not respect you for knowing. You can still get 12″s of this shit at Gramaphone in Chicago, hometown-pressed white-label bangers.

But yeah because this is a rap blog and some of you are bitter motherfuckers about non-rap music, so I’m just gonna throw up one of the last cuts which is basically just pure gangsta shit, not really a booty beat to be found. What it does share with the jack house on the CD is a suitably dark and cold mood, like these fucking below-freezing windy city temperatures we’ve got now, where the landlord controls the radiators and I get heat for about 30 minutes a day. Creepy shifting bass tones and that chopped “No-no mothafuckin’ looooove” sample, slight syncopated bounce that was novel in ’95. Grimey.

Do or Die feat. Psycho Drama – No Love (g-rap)

A while back my girlfriend started a new project called “vetv” which is going to be this short 10-15 minute show about records and rap related shit. The first episode features eddie k, mark of future primitive, dj rasta cue, and cool chris of groove merchant. The show will debute sometime early next year, they are pulling for january. It will be available online so you can get your internet on. Anyways the day of filming Eddie K hooks us up with a couple new tracks he’s got. These are suppose to be on the next Gurp City EP. It’s going to have 7 songs with 3 instrumentals and some accapellas featuring the likes of Baldhead Rick, Z-man, Luke Sick, Topr, Conceit, Philo and Blisterfist.

Eddie K on that bay shit getting cutesy for them folks in the club. I think if he can get this on the radio it might take off. The beat has these little electronic pellets that don’t ever stop dropping and between versus you get a little wave of synth connecting everything together. Baldhead Rick does the chorus section of this joint. The song fucking bumps, I’ve been jamming this shit since I got a hold of it.

Move Those Jeans
It shouldn’t be too hard to figure out what this song is about. The beat is built on those congos with Eddie K plushing it out. The beat has this off key whiney portion that is a little suspect but it’s short so I just deal with it. This EP is suppose to drop January 1st so cop that shit because it going to be totally not shitty.

be happy for the man who we owe for the name of this shitty blog

…of R&B before rap heads get mad, but the production on this song is out of this world. I’m guessing it’s Tim & Bob again. The rest of the Trey Songz album is aite but uneven, this is definitely the best track, with floating graceful production smokily snaking around these heavy-ass column-like drums. Check the drum-and-bongo breakdown-bridge where Songz seems so impressed by that ass that he starts chanting about it, like a mantra. Ass mantra.

Yeah yeah I’ll post some more hardcore raps tomorrow.
