Don't like rap, but
« on: February 22, 2009, 07:04:02 PM »
K'naan's new album comes out tomorrow: I thought his first one - The Dusty Foot Philosopher was great.

They redid one of the songs on the first album for the new record with Kirk Hammett and it's really nice.

Maybe rap will grow on me someday.

For some reason he's not very well known.  After this album, I'm sure he's going to be the next big thing.  It's too good.  This record will bring people together and end hunger.  Tomorrow I will not be hungry any longer.

Nah, he'll stay underground. There's a lot of great hip hop out there but it has little mainstream appeal.

Really?  Well, he performed on Jimmy Kimmel.  Also, as someone who really isn't into this type of music, I found every song on the record to be really catchy.  I'm not going to pretend like I know a damn about this sorta music, but the lyrics are excellent and I love the background beats on all the songs --  The African instruments and choruses play into the beats so well on the songs.  I think a lot of people will dig this if they hear it.

So I liked that song so much I wanted to remind myself to buy the album, and would you look at this!

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001TJGDIO/ref=dm_ty_alb

Amazon MP3 is selling it for two dollars.

For those that aren't clued in, Amazon MP3 shits on Itunes from a great height. 256k bit MP3s, absolutely no DRM (seriously, no joke, completely DRM free. Copy to your hearts content), and they do ridiculous deals like this all the time.

I'm gonna viral for Amazon MP3 real quick.

It should be checked on the daily.

They sell a different album every day for $2. Sometimes it's a bit more, like $3 or $4. It's not always great, but a lot of the time it is. New stuff, too. I got the new Morissey for $2 the other day.

They also do 5 for $5 Fridays, where they put up 5 albums for $5 a piece.

My music collection has BALLOONED since I started using Amazon MP3. I buy like at least an album a week.

He seems like a real upstanding guy -- I've seen some interviews with him, and he totally does that whole 50cent-pseudo-gangsta shit in.  And it works perfectly, because he was raised in the 4th most dangerous city in the world (Mogadishu), so nobody's gonna say a damn thing about his class. 


edit: What the fuck, Washington DC is the 5th most dangerous city?  :lol :lol
