In the immortal near-words of Tay-K: you want action, let's turn to the past-tense. I present you with the obligatory non-Rap companion to my top 50 Rap late pass discoveries of the 2010's; well, it's actually 44 old songs I've discovered this decade and 6 old songs I've rediscovered in the past 10 years. How did I ever function without most of these songs in my life? It's a mystery, Scooby Doo.

Bonus beats: top 50 non-rap songs of the 2010s, IMHO.

I never thought the same blog that introduced me to A-Mafia and Max Minelli would make me a fan of pop music either lol.
I should probably add the I'm not a Poptimist BUT... tag to this post.
may have mentioned this before but I discovered Messages From The Stars by way of the AtJazz remix from 2009-10. Its very good (I'm at work so can't YouTube it but shout me if you want the mp3)
Email me that shit this evening plz.
I know the song because DJ Fresh sampled it on a Keak Da Sneak bonus track.
That Ronnie Hazelhurst song sounds like something DOOM would’ve killed back in the day.
Yeah post the link to that in here
Step sent me the link.

That picture is never going to get old, love it.
The personification of Hip Hop!
Lotta stuff I need to check out here.
Tried to sneak 2 Larry Heard cuts in without anyone noticing eh? Lol
The good ol' different moniker rule 😄
Ghost is the best thing Depeche Mode has created in the past 20 years, and they couldn't even put in on the proper goddamn album
Actual facts, m8.
