Oddisee - Ain't That Peculiar Remix

By -
Often a rendition of a classic is done so with a lack of sensitivity required to even dignify the remix. None of this holds true when a renascence man takes the reigns. Oddisee is much more than an artist, he's a genius of production with an extensive lexicon when it comes to musical notes.  Another worthy note is the incredible music video to accompany this remix. I've noticed the amount views for this video has greatly increased in the past week and am happy that Oddisee is getting a taste of the recognition he so justly deserves. Overall I love his take on this track and look forward to hearing the other 3 songs on the upcoming EP, "Odd Renditions."



Lyrics: Oddisee - Ain't That Peculiar Remix

Marvin Gaye:

Honey you do me wrong but still I'm crazy bout you
Stay away too long and I can't do without you
You tell me lies that should be obvious to me
But I'm so much in love with you baby till I don't want to see
Ain't that peculiar a peculiarality
Ain't that peculiar peculiar as can be
Ain't that peculiar a peculiarality
Ain't that peculiar peculiar as can be

I've cried so much just like the child that's lost a toy
Maybe baby you think these tears I cry are tears of joy
But unlike a child my tears don't help me to get my way
But I'm so much in love with you baby till I don't want to see
Ain't that peculiar a peculiarality
Ain't that peculiar peculiar as can be
Ain't that peculiar a peculiarality
Ain't that peculiar peculiar as can be



Oddisee:

I know the question that I'm asking and the answer ain't correct
And if loving you is wrong well then the answer won't be yes
So I'm lying to myself cause lying next to you the best
Every second in your presence worth a minute of neglect
But them minutes turn to hours and those hours turn to stress
And my courageous or a coward that's unable to accept
That I'm here but you left I mean you here but you ain't right
Yeah you right here but you ain't like with me so I need to step
You would think that moving on wouldn't even be a sweat
I mean yeah you do me wrong but I conveniently forget
I just harbor on the better like whatever to the doubt
When you try to plant a seed I just see a weed in drought
As you twist your lips to lie and it's leaving out your mouth
I decide right then and there I won't even hear you out
I know that love it peculiar but you are even more so
How you even wear your heart on your wardrobe
Lord knows



Ain't that peculiar a peculiarality
Ain't that peculiar peculiar as can be
Ain't that peculiar a peculiarality
Ain't that peculiar peculiar as can be

Woke Up Making Money - SoulChef ft Declaime

By -

Built like Budda and Bob Marley on a Harley  So much flavor on this track it was clearly concocted by SoulChef. The title of this track is just outright deceitful; the art of making money has been bastardized and turned into an act of craving cash rather then flourishing ones talent. That's exactly why the crispy cadence of Declaime reclaims what is it to be truthful to oneself. I lack the words to accurately describe how poignantly powerful this gem is. SoulChef is one of the greatest producers and an ode to a time that is quasi lost. When coupled with a lyricist who can consciously construct a clear message it's apparent that the power of hip-hop is still exceptionally strong. I love it from top to bottom. It radiates and embodies what I want to be as person. Thank you kindly for blessing me with a banger worthy of making money to.  Lyrics: Declaime  Haha this is what it is  And you what it ain't  Going hard in the paint  Going places where most can't Not a saint, def

Hilltop Hoods - I love it ft. Sia

Yet another great song by the Hilltop Hoods of Australia. These guys demonstrate the art of hard work and sacrifice in order to achieve their goals. This is a tribute to their passion and undying love to the culture of hip-hop. If you're like me, a hip-hop junkie, and you haven't gotten on board with the scene down under you're seriously putting a dent in your rotation list. Listen to this track because "I love it!" Lyrics: Hilltop Hoods - I love it ft. Sia Verse 1: SUFFA I’m wondering where the day went, The clouds have me shrouded in grey but, I’m still out pounding the pavement, word, Drowning the hurt by pounding rounds in brown paper, Founded a label now I’m drowning paperwork, But now the crew I’m down with found an escape from work, And I love it ‘cause that what your hard work gets you, My heart bursts through my chest I’m rescued, So forget what the rest do, I’m blessed to do it with two of who are the best to do it, Do I love it? PRESSURE Look at our goa

Kendrick Lamar - Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst

Mighty Mos Def said it best, "Why does one straw break the camels back? Here's the secret, the million other straws underneath it." In the culture of Hip-Hop there is a paradigm shift going down. While Lil Wayne experiences seizures (probably from excessive codeine usage) and Nicky Minaj trots around like a trollop not fit for the slums of Kandahar, legitimate artists are emerging. They're shining lights on the fact that excessive materialism, drug use, violence, persecution, and sexism are not productive parts of society. Emcees are getting features on their albums from influential people like Dr. Cornell West (Brother Ali) and Maya Angelou (Kendrick Lamar). They're are openly rapping about the disgusting hate towards homosexuality (Murs & Macklemore). Even the catholic church and their rampant cover up of pedophilia isn't safe (Lupe Fiasco). The cherry on this sundae is the fact that all these artists have recently topped the charts on iTunes.
