1. "G-Slide (Tour Bus)" by Lil Mama
i was totally turned off to this single when i heard it a few months ago, right from the second she sampled 'Wheels on the Bus.' i didn't want to deal with another 'Chain Hang Low'-type track. well, now that i found a high quality copy of the single and pumped it through my big system, i almost came on the spot. rattling bass, grimy synths, whistling accompaniment, T-Pain jabs, and hot rap. lil mama continues with her streak of hot-as-hell supersonic flows. brilliant. i just hope that this will be replacing 'Crank Dat' as the dance to be doin'. take a listen.
2. "As A Blonde" by FeFe Dobsonfrom her as-yet unreleased album, Sunday Love, 'As A Blonde' is perfect. Sounds like the shit my friends listened to during high school, with its driving guitar and drums--BUT the lyrics are biting and RAWK, while maintaining introspective and observational qualities. She explores the benefits of being a blonde, sarcastically.
"I was lookin in the mirror/ tryin' to find a new reflection/ wanna take the road less traveled down/ a different direction/make some new mistakes/ forget the ones i've made/ cry some tears of joy/ dress more like a boy/I'd come back as a blonde/ try a different lipstick on/ as a blonde"
if you like punk-ternative, try it out.
