yes, yes ya'll...and you don't stop!

what's playing on randy's ipod.

1. julie plug - starmaker
2. black star - mos def and talib kweli
3. bob marley - catch a fire (jamaican version)

1. julie plug is tight. i love to listen to this cd. its mellow, it rocks, and it makes ya wanna rent a convertible on a sunny day and drive down the coast with the top down on.

2. black star. this came out like in 99. still tight. lyrically fresh and beats make the head nod. lisen to astronomy (8th light). shit is dope. one of the best hip hop (not like nelly or ludacris or lil john and the east side boyz) i mean underground hip hop shizzeee that came out in 99. still to this day, the sounds are still fresh and doesn't sound dated.

3. bob marley. catch a fire (jamaican version) is dope. the album was laid out in its original form, but the producer didn't feel like it would catch in the united states. so, they livened up the album by makin it sound more rock-ish. which catapulted marley and the melody makers into the mainstream and reggae was accepted by the masses. compare the jamaican version to the u.s. version. i really love the jamaican version coz it sounds so raw...the way how reggae should be.
