Music Post: Sweet Blog, RIP Nate Dogg

Quick music post.

First, I found a sweet music blog you'll all enjoy: http://westlacnct.com/ It's got remixes and mini-reviews of said remixes - I recommend finding the Passion Pit Remix of Bruno Mars' current single "Grenade".

Second, Nate Dogg passed away at the age of 41. Here's a quick link to better understand the impact Nate Dogg had on hip-hop: Nate Dogg: Thank Him Now

In honor of Nate Dogg, I am listening to G-Funk Classics, Vol. 1 today. G-Funk Classics is Nate Dogg's debut album originally set for release in 1996, at the height of the gangster rap boom. Because of some issues at Death Row Records, the album was not actually released until 1998, and thus, despite it's genius, was destined to mediocre sales and a tepid reception at best. (Side Note: There is a Vol. 2, but I don't have it.)

Anyway, you all know where to find G-Funk Classics, Vol. 1 if you're up for honoring his memory. I highly recommend it - it's a walk down the proverbial memory lane for one of the most innovative hip-hop artists of our time.

Spring Term Rap

"you know we on the bald spot with that midwest charm
"oh shit its a tornado better sound the alarm
better go in the dorms and f*(k with that girl you hooked up with in
sayles when you were drunk
cause lets face it thats how relationships start
man either that or you are one of those nerds who stays in and plays mario kart

In Spring Term people like to go cheer for CUT
Oh sh*t I forgot everyone would rather drink and work
on gettin their beer gut
Yes times like Joe's Easter and Rotblattare the best'
Cause when the cops give you that breathalyzer,
you certainly aint gonna pass that test.

Now for the ladies its the time when the coats come off and the skirts
come out

And like the flowers its like beauties spout

Everyone seems to fall in love

Good thing the health center gives a lecture on gloves

For the guys they sum up the courage

cause for so long they have felt discouraged

Cause in the winter they had no love to keep warm

But as the months went on they began to learn

Sh*t son, its all about Spring Term.

Yeah that guy sang I love

College he obviously wasn't at Carleton based on his lack of knowledge

For as our moto states

The Revelation / Announcement of Your Words Illuminate

Just like after finishing that keg you tend to self deprecate

So give it up for 10 weeks of fun

cause we will all be chillin in Spring Term under that Midwest Sun
