Obligatory wrap-up post of those songs I’ve played most during the month when there was no sadder sight than European men masquerading as American political experts and arguing about Biden Verzuz Trump. You nerds need to cultivate some Yank interests which are actually fun – like Rap music, natch.
Mac Dre – Doin’ What I Do (2001)
Jhi-Ali – My Way (2005)
Mac J – Sparky (2020)
NHale – In My Hood (2020)
Eatem ft. 70th Street Carlos – Spin The Bottle (2020)
M1llionz – B1llionz (2020)
Prince – Love Sign (Shock G’s Silky Remix) (1998)
Moodymann – Just Stay A While (2020)
Michigan & Smiley – Tom’s Diner (1990)
Other notables: OHFR? is the first Rico Nasty song I’ve kinda liked this year; listened to Goodie Mob’s new album and I wish they’d replace Cee-Lo with Witchdoctor or Backbone or Nathaniel or damn near anyone who’s ever appeared on a Dungeon Family album; Rio Da Yung OG should be forced to retitle his Accidental Shit Talkin’ EP as Here’s Some First-Take Freestyles I Can’t Be Bothered Writing Any Hooks For; no matter how many times YouTube recommends it to me, I’m not listening to Kay Slay’s Rolling 50 Deep 18 minute posse cut; shit I wasn’t expecting this month: a Tinashe Xmas EP where she covers Wham’s Last Christmas.
