Insomniac Rap Show- A few throwbacks

Welcome to The Insomniac Rap Show, where I share YouTube videos until I get sleepy.

Let's start with my favorite Joell Ortiz song:

"From my spaceship, Look down on n*ggas tell em you ain't ish. Can't get caught in the Matrix, fuck what you think bitch" STS powered by @Skibeatz

Rewind with me to 2011. I was working for a very cool e-learning company, helping to make educational cartoons for their website. Fun work, but it requires lots of music (Trust me on this). I didn't have an iPod or anything like that, and they didn't allow loading music on the computers. They DID however allow us to stream internet content, so I created extensive youTube playlists that I listened to while working...

Start the day out Right w/@Murs & @SkiBeatz

Here's the video for Epic Salutation, a single off Murs' latest album Love and Rockets... I'm not sure if there's any relationship to the long-running indy comic of the same name by the Hernandez boys... but there SHOULD be!

"But expect it to be at a cost. To be sold, not told. The age old protocol of a boss..." -Nesby Phips (via @SkiBeatz)

Nothing much to say here. That dude Ski Beatz dropped this hot jazz rap track Blue and Green on youTube. A tribute to the late great musical genius, Miles Davis...

Start the day off Right w/@SkiBeatz, Stat Quo & Nicole Wray

Yesterday was payday in our house, so I took my girls out to eat on some 2 for $20 type isht... even though that's nothing, it felt so good to just leave our worries behind, laugh, eat, and enjoy each other's company. Reminded me of this track Amnesia off Ski Beatz's triumphant 24 Hour Karate School Part 2...

Ski Beatz + the mighty Mos Def = HELL YES!!!

Please peep this video for Cream of the Planet by Ski Beatz, featuring the mighty Mos def. It's dope. carry on...

Ski Beatz is taking you to SCHOOL!

I'm just about as excited as possible about the upcoming Ski Beatz mixtape 24 Hour Karate School... as much as I've been about any record in a while. You may have already heard this track, but yo, it's got Jean Grae, Mos Def, Jay Electronica, and Joell Ortiz on it... Listen to it again!

Start the day off RIGHT-->

sigh...if hip hop is dead, I must be in heaven... remember when i posted a track called 24 hour Karate School by that dude Ski Beatz and the mighty Mos Def? well that was the tip of the iceberg to a mixtape of the same name, with more heavyweights like ghettoManga Award-winning emcee Jay Electronica, Jim Jones, The Kool Kids, Ras Kass (!) and more... it is SO on, homie...

24 HR Karate School by the mighty Mos Def. download that joint here. when I first heard this joint on Thursday, I dang near fell out. Mos can make the dopest record with the least apparent effort... Ski Beatz drops a fun Old School beat and Mos turns it into a classic head-nodder. KTownBboy on youTube should be commended for pairing this song with a picture of monkey rebellion. that's what's up! anyways, if you're in Dallas today, come out to Malcolm's Swap Meet and holler at me!
have a good one...
