Hello Young World!
This Music Monday, we have some great features... Speaking of features, this artist was featured last week in the "Say Hello" section. His name is John "the Jugganaut" Gibson and this track is featured on his album "The Jugganaut's Thoughts Vol.1: 792" available through his website http://www.jugganautical.com. "I Believe" is an upbeat track featuring production from Al Ko, also known as Al Kohol. It speaks of his experience with a girl, in the world and what he thinks of himself. Peep the quotes below and LISTEN to the track!
"I Believe" JG The Jugganaut
I believe that if you leave it would dry up the seas/ it would curse my world with atrophy and disesase/ because I believe that the sunshine originates a few inches above your knees/ That's why I'm getting my pants legs dirty/ begging you please don't you leave/ because I believe that once we get comfortable/ I can buy colorfu sweaters and we can live like Cliff and Clair Huxtable...
I told you about the girl, and I and I told you about the world, but what do I think about JG??
If you love the feeling you get from Motown Era music, you will definitely be bumping this compilation. Featuring production from Lazy Genius and Dommy "Huge Deal Styles" Styles, the mixtape features Motown songs set to the rhythm and styles of today. It actually features two of my favorite songs "Got To Be There" by the Jackson Five and "Got To Give It Up" (Keep on Dancing")... This is made especially for the music lover in YOU! The best part is that it's actually FREE.99! So go ahead and download your copy and boogie down in your bedroom, family picnic or wherever... I prefer the car for my booging down!
Production Team, DJ Combine for Motown Mixtape Tribute “Revival”
In an era when many artists sample their music from the classic sounds of Motown, a nationally renowned DJ teamed up with one of America’s best production teams to introduce a new generation of music lovers to the legends of rhythm and blues.
Producers Lazy Genius teamed up with DJ Dommy Huge Deal Styles to create “Motown Revival,” a compilation disc of Motown’s greatest hits set to the rhythm and styles of today’s music.
Lazy Genius is an innovative production team comprised of working musicians from Detroit MI. Dommy Styles is the founding member of Tha Alliance DJ’s who has close to 20 years experience as a DJ and promoter.
The reason for the compilation, according to Dommy Styles, is to pay tribute to the Motown sounds and the impact the music has on today’s culture.
“We want to show our respect to the Motown sound and the great artists of that era,” said Styles who added that the mixtape will be available to listeners free of charge.
“It’s not about the money—it’s about the love of the music.”
"You're guaranteed to be rewinding these records to catch what he spits"
It's not very often that I say this, but Speak Williams is an inspiration to me. His music is DOPE, he's an awesome emcee and an all around great guy. Every Monday for the past seven weeks, he's been releasing a freestyle for #MusicMondays. He's one artist I can say makes me FEEL his music, it's more than a song it's an experience! So why don't you *PAUSE* for the cause and take a listen, because he is definitely an artist on the move and the only way is UP! Look out for his UPcoming project "Passport" coming at you soon and VERY soon!
(not in order of release)
1. Dilla Freestyle
2. Fela Freestyle
3. IDK (I don't know)
4. Selah freesyle (prod by Selah Beats)
5. Shining Down freestyle

***Keep in mind these are ALL freestyles***(Except "IDK" my favorite!!)

This video is from Columbus Ohio's very own Fly Union featuring G.O.O.D.(Getting out our dreams) Music artist Big Sean. It was shot in Cleveland, Ohio by Palestra Creative (the same folks the did The 3rd's Escalade video) the weekend of the Ohio Hip Hop Awards. It's funny to see how it turned out because me and the JWORK fam we're actually on Coventry when they were shooting some of the scenes. I think it turned out AWESOME, what do you think???
Todaayyyyy I just feel like posting some classic EPIC ish from my personal favorite era in music, the SOUL era, the 1970's! There are definitely some newer musicians that are inspired by the original soul era, but I wanna go baaacccck... Soul music to me is music that is inspired fully by fusing the energy, the spirit, the feeling into something as simple as telling me to "Get up offa that thing"... Music that can take you down low and cause you to relate to an emotion you've never experienced... Music that can bring you back up and make you stand up on the inside without you placing a foot on the ground... An expression of what often cannot be put into words, things ranging from sexuality/love/ and political uprising, but the chords played upon the piano, the notes plucked from the bass guitar, the squeal emitted from the brass horn or that wail pushed from the inner most part of the body, some how says it all... Soul music is my favorite music...
"Queen,/ You deserve the title/ But she rejects what i give/ While she nurse the wounds by them/ Tried them, didn't work/ Got impossible standards,/ Nothin' I do's gonna work/ Diary of a black girl"
This track is CLASSIC... in my humble opinion...
Everything from the arrangement and the lyrics and Marsha's BEAUTIFUL, ANGELIC voice makes this track a standout to me...
NOT to mention the song gets to me so TOUGH!
It gives you a peek into the goings on inside of MY diary... I can so relate to this song. I think that every woman keeps a diary, literal or figurative. Every man that we allow into our lives writes something on the tablet of our heart. Good or bad, there is a record being kept of what transpires in the relationship. I myself can say that my "Diary" is filled with doubt, fear and very little trust in the opposite sex. I don't want it to be that way, but when that's all you know it's hard to go AROUND that.
It's even harder for the man that is trying to prove otherwise. I'm an optimistic person, but fear prohibits me from letting go and allowing someone new to get close to me... Insecurity, is a self-imposed prison, I choose to let my mind create falsities and conspire about how your intentions are impure... And I KNOW that it's partially my fault because I settle and repeat some mistakes, but DAMN it seems never-ending... In order for change to occur one must do something DIFFERENT for a change... Seems like I should do that huh??
If I told you I wanted to talk to you, you know
you'd think I'm tryin' to holler at you
And maybe I am, but you wouldn't hear me out anyways would you?
Rather lose love than to move on never knowin' what it feels like
Short days, long nights by the phone, no call
Need a clear mind cuz I been blind got me goin down that road
Heart made of stone
Far away from home,
Black woman c-c-cold
Every problem that you ever had with another man, i gotta face
Started off on thin ice i'm still here but i can't skate
Slow sink, can't breathe
No remorse, don't think
Listen to your friend,
Get another man for a minute then repeat
Queen,
You deserve the title
But she rejects what i give
While she nurse the wounds by them
Tried them, didn't work
Got impossible standards,
Nothin' I do's gonna work
Diary of a black girl
[Chorus:]
I wonder why I sit and cry, wish I could shed all these tears
I'm down and out, I'll keep on movin' and tryin' to get out
I don't know how to move on, where I went wrong
Wish I could live with no fears
So down and out, I'll keep it movin' and try to get out, somehow
Black girl
Raise by a momma who, hates the baby father, so
She don't have a problem with, sayin' "fuck a nigga" quick
I'm just tryin' to be the one who never run, but you run away from me
Your girlfriend's men cheat, why not me the same thing
She can't see in me, what I see in her
This pain she inherit, can't be reversed
I can even stay livin' in the shade above the motherfuckers that played ya
The irony in that is I ain't even that but you put it in those pages
Wife, you deserve the label,
But you been hurt before,
So you sore, and don't feel you're able
Tried them, didn't work
Got impossible standards,
Nothing that i ever do'll work
Diary of a black girl
[Repeat Chorus:] (2x)
See all I ever want to do is be relevant just tell me that I ever meant anything or that you could ever see me and you on another light but its like the dark winter doors darkest nights by the wrong men mostly all of them have made you some what incapable of a first impression what I do is channel my aggression with no cable or antenna just intentions to impress you; incapable, hoping that the material possessions can materialize to a better you; cars, nothing I drive can drive better this frame of mind with such an ugly picture in the end; money, nothing I buy can buy me more time for your ears to say your heart to listen to it; diamonds, a girls best friend is what they say but believe me with the right allegiance ya, you gonna shine anyways and every day that goes by is a couple more lines in her diary the day before is better then the present so anyone presented in her presence endures her life; sentences, no key for release no reason to be around her minds in the clouds she writes it all down in her diary
I've heard A LOT about Domonique LaRue around the city, but I have YET to hear her mussssiiiicccc... (GOOGLE is our friend right?)

Ok since this has something to do with music and I'm always finding new ish, just in case u are;nt hip here are two sites that will help you out in your pursuit of music knowledge AND free downloads.... :>)
Basically if you're a music listener who always has the question, "WHERE have I heard this before?" then this site is for you. Who Sampled not only gives you the information as to what song sampled what, it also gives you a sound clip to hear the influence as well as the song that includes the sample! I found this in the midst of my search to find out what song Mc Lyte sampled for "Poor Georgie" ("Georgie Porgie" Toto, AND "Wanna Be Where You Are" Michael Jackson)
I found this googling how to rip audio from YouTube videos about 6mths ago. With this site, you can rip the audio into an MP3 file from ANYthing that has been posted on youtube. So that audio from House Party 2 that you want to include in your podcast? It's on Fetch MP3. That song that came out yesterday that all the links are broken to? You can probably find it on Fetch MP3. I've downloaded COUNTLESS songs from this site and the major PERK, you don't have to download MORE software to your PC it's all done through the browser :>)
NOW that I let go of some of my secrets, take them and use them WISELY! Audi 5000! *muah*
