I've posted this one before, but I pinned this music thread to my profile so, this needs to be in my 11 song crate dig.
Prince's cover of Radiohead's Creep is one of the best covers I've ever heard.
Period.
Listen to the legend already.
Creep - Prince (Radiohead cover) - Coachella 2008
Beach Dr. by Oddisee answers the question, "What if Herbie Hancock created beats for the Adult Swim Bumps?"
This is an incredibly smooth song with a second kinda hidden song at the end that also sounds like it could easily belong in the 70s.
Most of Oddisee's other songs are rap songs, but this is just a chill and underappreciated instrumental.
Don't sleep on this greatness.
Beach Dr. - Oddisee - Rock Creek Park (2012)
This is for you trippy CoSo folk Watch the video for this one.
Cirrus is just a light and airy song that makes it difficult not to tap your foot along with. And then the bass kicks in about halfway through to really push the song forward.
This song is an exercise in taking a simple melody and progressively adding elements to the song to create a chaotic, yet pleasing sound.
Cirrus - Bonobo - The North Borders (2013)
On the last rap song for tonight, Big K.R.I.T. fuses a gospel sound, with a real thought provoking message, and an extended outro to really explain his message.
What makes this song special is the juxtaposition of the gospel things, with the gritty delivery, and understanding that sometimes we just want lavish things to make life seem better, despite knowing that they are... just things.
Bury Me in Gold - Big K.R.I.T - 4 Eva is a Mighty Long Time (2017)
We go eclectic before I intended because I forgot that Shakey Dog uses a sample from another amazing song.
Love is Blue / I Can Sing a Rainbow is an utterly beautiful song. If you don't like the rap, this song might be more up your alley.
If you did listen to the Ghostface, hearing this after is gonna make you appreciate the work put in by Ghost and his production team to create Shakey Dog.
Love is Blue / I Can Sing a Rainbow - The Dells (1969)
There might be five rappers in the history of rap who can tell a story like Ghostface Killah.
I don't make the claim lightly. It's not much more for me to say about this one. There is this smooth 70s style beat that matches the heist flick vibe of the song perfectly.
You'll find no better example of how to use a rap song like a paintbrush to paint a vivid picture.
Shakey Dog - Ghostface Killah - Fishscale (2005)
Control is another song that never had an album release.
You *could* start from the beginning of Control, but you really want to just start around 2:55. Kendrick Lamar puts on a clinic on how to steal the spotlight.
Kendrick goes nuts for 3 minutes without a hook, cleverly throwing shade at Farrakhan & name dropping literally everyone.
This is the best Kendrick verse you might have missed.
Control - Big Sean f. Kendrick Lamar & Big Sean (2013)
Did you know that rap legend Andre3000 dropped an amazing verse last year?
You ever see someone so talented that they can seemingly warp reality in their area of expertise? That's Andre3000 in this song.
He has this weird stutter delivery that has emphasis on syllables that fall on the off beat. It shouldn't work, but the mix of the unresolved chords and off-putting sound eventually pays off.
Come Home - Anderson.Paak f. Andre3000 -Ventura (2019)
It's crate digging night for you guys tonight on #CoSoMusic.
I'm starting out with like 5 - 6 rap songs, and then I'm gonna go for the real eclectic stuff. I'll do my best to keep this threaded but no guarantees.
Hang on, and if you hear something you really like lemme know and I can send more recommendations your way.
Did you wake up this morning and say, "I really could use a song that has traditional Japanese instruments mixed with elements of funk and wrapped in a neat little 2 minute music video?"
Of course you did. I got you fam. This hidden gem might be the funkiest thing you hear all day.
Heritage - Masa Takumi - Heritage (2020)
^^^ The song to go with the long read.
Uptown Funk - Mark Ronson f. Bruno Mars (2015)
Here's your Sunday morning long read to go with your cup of coffee.
Uptown Funk (Mark Bronson f. Bruno Mars, 2015) was a song you had to try extremely hard not to hear in 2015, but have you ever read about how much effort was required to make the hit happen?
Okay I'm done with my Denzel Curry flurry of posts. If you havent noticed I really like him.
But I really would pay a *lot* of money to hear him make a full album of hard rock/metal covers in this style.
Bulls On Parade (Like a Version cover) - Denzel Curry (2019)
This is one of those short but sweet songs that hits hard and leaves you wanting for more.
Explicit Lyrics
Black Balloon Reprise - Flying Lotus ft. Denzel Curry (2019)
Happy birthday @th3j35t3r. Glad you took that inspiration from Hamilton and said you aren't gonna throw away your shot by making this place.
Hamilton - My Shot
Feels like I need some angry woman rock from the 90s to make it through today.
Gotta start with the best (it's 25 years old WTF????). Who said Canadians are always polite?
Alanis Morissette - You Oughta Know
#CoSoMusic
Sometimes you just need to hear a song where someone tells you how much they just want to spend time with you.
#cosomusic
Jill Scott - A Long Walk
Last bit from the posting flurry tonight.
A nice chill song that's perfect to end your Sunday with.
Tokimonsta - Love That Never.
Occasionally the algorithms work out and you stumble upon something amazing that you never would have heard. This is that song. #cosomusic
😂😂😂
I can't stop laughing. Why would they make a Kids Bop version of Lizzo's Truth Hurts?
Why????
