Headphones Buzzin'....Always

Wow has it been awhile since my last post or what? I guess I will have some catching up to do. Sorry for the brief hiatus, but I'm going to be back in rare form with some new content coming your way and I know everyone has been holding it down and keeping those headphones buzzin' on a daily, but jumping back in the mix of things I wanted to make today's headphone buzz dedicated to none other than Whitney Houston. On my hiatus the iconic Whitney Houston tragically died February 11, 2012 at the age of 48. She was found in the Beverly Hilton Hotel , submerged in a bathtub. I won't dig much further into the specifics of the situation, but whether you loved or hated Whitney she was one of the people in the game that many would say inspired most if not all of the singers that you hear today in someway and she changed the landscape. She has had her fair share of issues that the media caught, but you know what? What celebrity hasn't? Just not all of them get the same attention that Whitney got and that's because it was Whitney. So everybody get those headphones buzzin' and press play for the song "I Will Always Love You". It was one of her classics that everybody seems to know from the movie "The Bodyguard" and was the lead single from the soundtrack that was written and originally recorded by Dolly Parton in 1974. R.I.P Whitney August 9, 1963 - February 11, 2012

Headphones Buzzin' And Ready To Freestyle

I think some people forget how clever some rappers can be beyond the flash sometimes especially when it comes to freestyles which requires a verbal finesse that allows you to stream together a mixture of words and below is a freestyle Kanye West did a few years ago that I thought was interesting. Love him or hate him he has talent and not everybody can do it like the below straight from the head. Lyrically he's one of my favorite artist among others so checkout the below freestyle from Kanye and as an extra bonus I'm gonna throw in my favorite performance of him performing the song "Gone" featuring Consequence from his album Late Registration at a concert he did awhile back called Late Orchestration underneath that for you to check out as well and of course gather your own opinions.

Headphones Buzzin' To A Clock With No Hands

I was in one of my throw back moods today and have had my Headphones buzzin’ to hip hop band the Roots “Clock With No Hands”. This song is one of my favorite songs from The Roots.

The album debuted at number nine on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart when it came out and to date has sold over 200,000 copies in the U.S. Although “Clock With No Hands” wasn’t a hit single that was produced from the album it remains one of my favorites from the Roots and I think is just something good and mellow to vibe to.

Headphones Buzzin' While I Make Pancakes?

Let me start off this post saying I've never seen someone go so hard on a rap while making some pancakes. I tried this once with Egos and burnt the Egos -_- so I'm going to stick with blogging. The below video is of a Kansas City, Missouri rapper who goes by the name Mac Lethal rapping over Chris Brown's "Look At Me Now" while making some pancakes in his kitchen and this guy is fast. He released this video the beginning of the month and within days got millions of views which has led him to a few interviews. He raps so fast you have no choice for your headphones to be buzzed. Are you able to rap while you make some random food item? Have you ever rapped while making some random food? Can you do it as fast as him? Check out the video below and prepare for your headphones to buzz.

Headphones Buzzin'

My headphones been buzzin' to Kid Cudi's " Mr. Rager" off the album Man On The Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager. I personally am a Kid Cudi fan and just like any other artist he won't appeal to all because of his unique style, but music has a different meaning for everyone and to me is the sound that pictures can't make and I see his picture and hear his art and one of the songs I enjoy from him is " Mr. Rager". When I first heard the song I didn't care for it, but it has grown to be one of my top favorite songs of his among others.  Everything about Kid Cudi's music is different from the depressed, mellow, happy, energetic beats to the lyrics and it deserves a listen. So check out the music video to "Mr. Rager"below and get your headphones buzzin'.

Headphones Buzzin' Or Is "My Mind Playing Tricks On Me"

I felt like rewinding the hands of time today to what I felt like having my headphones buzzin' to. Specifically 1991 " My Minds Playing Tricks On Me" off the album We Can't Be Stopped by the Geto Boys. This is a classic for hip hop. Over the past years it was selected as one of many songs you must hear and download in the musical reference book, 1001 Songs You Must Hear Before You Die: And 10,001 You Must Download. It has been referenced to as one of the best hip hop songs of the 90's and I don't argue that at all. It's a song that describes different mental states like hallucination, delusion and paranoia. How could that turn out wrong? But seriously do yourself a favor and check out the music video to the song below. If you're a fan of hip hop then do yourself some justice and listen to the song and even if your not a fan you may find it's worth a listen. So look below and press play.
