Nice and Smooooooth

Sorry, slow on updates lately. You know, doing the 3 job hustle. New York City ya’ll, and all that. Barely had time to check my email lately, let alone upload new MP3s.
But!
I did end up at APT this past Tuesday for the Daedelus show with my boy Sami, my former roommate from Finland and Scandinavian DJ/musician extraordinaire (you can see his name on that sidebar to the right), back in town on a two-week crate digging excursion through the city. I’m sure I could say more important things about the show, or other interesting musical discussion that popped up throughout the night, but really… what’s important is when we walked into the club, the DJ was rocking Nice & Smooth’s “Sometimes I Rhyme Slow”.
And again, we turn to YouTube.
Sami also put together a new set of dope cosmic disco and house joints, which I’ve uploaded but haven’t listed yet, though I will once I can string together some coherent words on it, and get him to put together a track listing for me. By the end of the day, hopefully. ‘Til then, rhyme slow.

Ah yes — Greg Nice makes no damn sense, but sounds good any damn ways. Guess it’s all in the delivery.
The only Nice & Smooth I have on my iPod is them guesting on DWYCK (Gangstarr) and Microphone Techniques (3rd Bass). I should add some actual Nice & Smooth!

Any rappers who can take a Partirdge Family sample and make a hot hip-hop song out of it get much love!

I thought it was Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” sample? Maybe I’m the confused one (I’m talking about the loop in the background though…)!

Hey now! I didn’t get ganked! I just chose to focus on another one of their songs!! Don’t be tryin’ to attack my cred!

“Although I do have to admit I’m scared of having the infamous stalker.com guy next to me…”
I would have hoped after and a half, people would have forgotten that!
Jon, next year, make sure my press badge as “Popcultureshock” on it!
