pre-millenial soul. 2.
side a
1. jay-z featuring mary j. blige, "can't knock the hustle" - back when jigga still sounded hungry.
2. unkle featuring thom yorke, "rabbit in your headlights" - dj shadow soundtracks thom's plantive cry.
3. rufus & chaka khan, "ain't nobody" - rufus and chaka at their hottest.
4. r. kelly, "when a woman's fed up" - you switch to teenagers? ick.
5. george benson, "love ballad" - soaring guitar and vocal lines, delicate yet sturdy.
6. madonna, "bad girl (extended version)" - madonna all soft & quiet.
7. janet featuring blackstreet, "I get lonely (tnt remix)" - good, but why this version? this tape is too ballad-heavy.
8. neil young, "war of man" - neil is the personification of white-boy soul.
9. everything but the girl, "missing" - and why so many sad songs?
side b
1. lauryn hill, "ex-factor" - sad, ballad, but it hurts so so good.
2. george michael, "hard day" - perfect dance track, all about the whining synthesizers.
3. missy elliot featuring big boi and nicole, "all n my grill" - hip-hop two (not 2)-stepping.
4. common sense, "resurrection (extra p. remix)" - "come on y'all, get live get down, common sense is in your town."
5. bebe winans, "thank you" - masters at work get their praise on.
6. culture club, "time (clock of the heart)" - or maybe boy george was the personification of white-boy soul...
7. busta rhymes featuring ol' dirty bastard, "woo-hah!! got you all in check (the world wide remix)" - when animals attack.
8. mariah carey featuring mase and the lox, "honey (the bad boy remix)" - well, I still like the original.
9. guy, "dancin'" - apparently I liked this song for about the 5 minutes it took to mistakenly put it on this tape. bleh.
10. basement jaxx, "bingo bango" - sex/wax.
of the entire series, this is my least favorite of the tapes. too many obvious choices, and not enough diversity. but wait, it gets better: big daddy kane and fiona apple back-to-back! getz/gilberto! foday musa suso! the world famous supreme team! and... u2! [trust me on this one.]
