(From the upcoming Tonite Show album; 2016)
Only the Bay can make Drake platitudes sound poignant, a song where camaraderie overcomes calamity, new school shit for old school whips, production like a lost Khayree remix of Picture Me Rollin', the song where Ezale proves he can do Apollonian as well as Dionysian blah blah blah.
F*ck all that shit - what happened to the scene from the O.G Twitter video snippet where Ezale sits on the speaker, and why'd they cut the parts from the Instagram video snippet where the guy in the vest with the ponytail rides his bike backwards and raps the hook to camera? This is what it must have felt like in 1991 when Point Break hit cinemas missing those 2 scenes from the trailer where Keanu Reeves licks a shot outta the window of the pickup truck and the conversation where he corrects John C. McGinley's terminology.
Ben Harp: "Do you think that taxpayers would like it, Utah, if they knew that they were paying a federal agent to surf and pick up girls?"
Johnny Utah: "Babes!"
Ben Harp: "I beg your pardon?"
Johnny Utah: "The correct term is Babes, sir."

ReplyDeleteDo ppl from the Bay really get chauffeured around their neighbourhoods by dudes on bikes with speakers installed in the back of them, or is it just another artistic flight of fancy like the impromptu party on the train when someone plays Feelin' Myself in Fruitvale Station?
ReplyDeleteIt's a good song but is it great??
ReplyDeleteI dunno.
It's definitely different to what I was expecting after listening to the 2 snippets way too much.
ReplyDeleteThis is very short.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's too short and too messy to be the anthem those 2 snippet vids suggested. Sounds like more of an intro than a single.
ReplyDeleteBeats that sound like updated Khayree >>>>>
This is not at all like I expected either but its great yes. this, Top To The Bottom and that DB video from a yr or two ago are proof the fuzzy feelings get maximized by having someone get a dinky on a pushbike.
ReplyDeleteWas thinking bout this the other day, theres these couple of synth horn sounds that were all over Bay Area shit early on and relatively consistently since was Khayree renting out his equipment to ppl? this extra gaudy sax one especially feels like a signature
Yeh this is totally Khayree
ReplyDeleteKhayree's magic saxophone.
ReplyDeleteEzale gonna blow up this year. I think.
ReplyDeleteHaha it's the scraper bike crew, they outlived the hyphy movement
ReplyDeleteNo joke, I was excited FOR you when this dropped last night. LOL.
ReplyDeleteSong is good but it feels like it's missing something, and the length is definitely an issue.
Sounded like it was gonna be California Livin' but it's turned out being A Piece From Khayree with bells on.
ReplyDeleteI wish Daewon Song was in this video.
ReplyDeletebikes with speakers are a little popular here, for what they are. people like to bicycle party
