Here are my discoveries for the year. I got into some
roots reggae and some world music stuff. Ngungi is
from my Mom tribe, the Hip-Hops is stright up tight,
Vinay is right on that Mike Jones... That song will
make the meekest person feel as thought he can walk
through walls. I love Paul Wall! Justin Timberlake
makes me dance like Michael used to back in the day.
The rest is some old business that I kind of started
digging as of late. Here it is:


1) Still Tippin..Mike Jones - Quit being white and
just listen... word to vinay
2) Running Away - Roy Ayers
3) Ngungi - Franco (He is from my Mom's tribe,
Bakongo, he is a semi god...Died of AIDS in the late
1990's) and Rochereau
4) Mega - Antipop Consortium-Hip-Hop and
Opera...respect
5) Open up the Gate - The Congos - Transcendent!!!!!
6) Water no get no Enemy - Fela............
7) Can You Get to That - Funkadelic
8) She Will be Loved - Maroon Five...Make fun.... but
fuck you
9)Right Time - Mighty Diamnonds - Lucas we actually
saw these guys in Seattle way when... Album is genius
10) Signs- Snoop Dogg, Charlies Wilson (Gap Band) and
Justin Timberlake.....Tight

Addendum:

Fishscale - Ghostface Killah....Wu-Tang lives
Sexyback - Timberlake is hot, seriously, finally a Michael Jackson for the new millenium, and he's white....awesome

Nickel For Your Thoughts

Since it seemed to be such a hugely wild or wildly huge success last year, we'll give it another try for 2-o-o-6. This year, we won't just limit it to albums and singles. Do lists for any range of things that pertain to this year that was, but try to include a list of albums and singles if you can. Maybe you saw 10 really good films this year that you'd like to let us know about. Maybe you really got into NASCAR and you'd like to list your top 10 drivers that didn't make the Nextel Cup Race. Whatever it may be, you can surely post it here.
