You Need This Music

I was reading a little article with Nottz on HipHopDx this morning and it got me pretty excited for his album, You Need This Music, which is supposed to drop sometime this year.  Nottz is one of my favorite producers out.  He is one of the only cats who seems to have the ability to work with cats like Kanye, R. Kelly, Snoop, Rah Digga and Little Brother.  His beats are always fresh and different.  I wasn’t aware that he was a rapper and was putting out an album until I saw his video for Shine So Brite.  The joint is really dope.  He followed it up with a video and a song called Cars which is equally as fresh.  I’m exactly sure when they album is going to drop but I WILL be bumping it for sure.  Another exciting and interesting piece of information is that Nottz was supposed to do an album with the late, great J Dilla.  He produced a track called Diamonds for Dilla from his album, Pay Jay, which never dropped but hit the net last year.  Diamonds is one of my favorite Dilla joints ever and to hear Nottz did the track was really cool.  For everyone NOT familiar with Nottz, check his credentials.  Dude is amazing.  Here are the videos for Shine So Brite and Cars, as well as a few other Nottz produced joints that I love.  Happy Monday

One Weekend/Two Great Movies

Cars

Cars

Over Memorial Day Weekend, I had the chance to watch two movies that changed my life forever(well….not exactly BUT kinda).  While kickin it at the crib on Saturday, the Pixar film Cars came on.  Typically, I enjoy these movies but I was not expecting to fall in love.  Cars brought back the same feelings I use to have when I would watch Aladdin every day before school.  I don’t know if it was because I like cars in general or because Cheech Marin was the voice of the lowrider with hydraulics but  for whatever reason, I absolutely fell in love with Cars.  In fact, it came on again on Sunday and I watched it and enjoyed it even more the second time around.  I know I am SUPER late on watching this movie but if you haven’t checked it out already, you MUST do so immediately.  It’s a touching story.  2 thumbs up!!!!!!

Star Trek

Star Trek

On Memorial Day(a well needed day off), I went to the theatres with a special friend to see Star Trek.  Originally I had NO interest in seeing it but everyone had been telling me that it was really good.  So we decided to go see it.  I was seriously blown away.  I absolutely loved every minute of the movie(my sour gummy jolly ranchers weren’t too bad either).  It not only lived up to all the hype but it was way better than I even imagined.  Scotty was the shit.  Uhura was gorgeous and even though Spock stole her from me, I loved Spock’s character too.  Captian Kirk was a beast.  The Russian dude was hilarious.  And Harold from Harold and Kumar was amazing with the sword.  I HIGHLY recommend seeing it even if you have know NOTHING about the show.  It’s a great movie.  Needless to say, now I am collecting all the Star Trek glasses from Burger King.
