1,2,3 - Work
This song is about a year old and I may have posted the audio but I don’t remember.
Anyway. I rediscovered my love for this song this week and I listen to it everyday before I go to…work.
So I was listening to it and wondering if they ever released a video and they did.
And these guys are from Pittsburgh and the video is in Pittsburgh and I think I saw the Cathedral.
Hail to Pitt.
This song started playing in my iTunes and I immediately thought of the video and all the hoopla about the video. Then I was realized I never really listened to the song I was too busy staring at her crazy ‘ol naked ass I’d written it off completely after watching the video.
But this song is dope. I’m sad it took me so long to realize that but happy I can listen to it as much as I want!
Gambino does work on this here track. I love it.
I’m not a fan of wild variations in speech where you have to bug your eyes out to rap (a la Nicki Minaj and frequently Mr. Gambino) and that’s the only thing I don’t like about his rapping. He stayed away from that on this song and it turned out great.
I’d be really interested to hear more music from him in this style.
Seems like dude is going through some things as his star rises and he’s getting that out through song [and twitter].
Two references that stood out on the first listen:
Geena Davis
Norman Rockwell
Being a witness to people pursuing their dreams is cool. I love it.
Even when I hate it. And I only hate it when the people pursuing their dreams are more musically inclined than I can ever hope to be.
That said, this is awesome. Some Pittsburgh guys making music and doing what they love.
White Like Fire - Desperate.
Beyoncé.
Countdown.
Live.
This is my favorite performance from this concert DVD and I lose my mind at one point in the song. And if you can’t figure it out you don’t know me very well.
A very interesting remix/interpretation of ‘What’s Going On’ from Mr. Marvin Gaye.
I really like what these young people did with the classic song.
I would love to be at the Kennedy Center tonight.
Tomorrow, I scour the web for clips from the performances.
*Points for me for using scour on the internets.
