Reasons why I love YouTube # 59

Because two of my absolute favourite songs of the year have finally been blessed with videos so maybe they might blow up to the extent that I could hear them at a Westwood party in Manchester or catch them on Channel AKA at 3:AM during a bout of insomnia? Either would do, tbh.

5th Ward Weebie - Let Me Find Out Part 1
(From YouTube; 2014)


K Camp - Oh No
(From YouTube; 2014)


As much as I want both these songs to blow up, Plz God, do NOT let The Canadian remix either of them. Actually that should read The Canadians because the only thing worse than a Drake remix of Oh No would be a Ryan Hemsworth ersatz-trip hop remix of Let Me Find Out Part 1.

Slim Thug had "bitches on the east coast, bitches on the west"

Did he have any southern belles in his little black book too? Find out on one of my favourite Swishahouse deep cuts:

Slim Thug, PJ & Paul Wall - Live From The Lonestar
(From ????/Paul Wall's Sittin' Sidewayz compilation; 2006)



Thought I should probably upload this since the only place you can find it on the general internet in 2014 is on Grooveshark. First heard this one on DJ Eleven's amazing Houston Rocks It mix CD back in 2005 and then found the full song on some unofficial Paul Wall compilation a year later. Anyone know what CD it's originally from?

God bless America

Max B is in prison forever for a crime he wasn't even present at, while the 3 rapists from Das Racist are free to roam Brooklyn loft parties looking for barely-conscious drunken girls to molest. Migos are more popular than Travis Porter and Rich Kidz despite the fact they've only ever made 3 good songs. Here's a new good Rich Kidz song from their latest EP which dropped yesterday:

"Smokin' and leanin' and shit
She like my demeanour and shit"

Rich Kidz - Wanted
(From Y.A.R.S EP; 2014)



Truth be told, this latest EP isn't soundin' like their best release, but there are 2 tracks that are essential to your Rich Kidz stash: All Around The World is thee jam because it's essentially Sunrise (Interlude) beefed up into a full song, and Wanted is mah shit because it signifies a progression in the Rich Kidz sound and makes me temporarily forget that I'm secretly counting down the days until Skooly starts rolling dolo like Ike Love.

Generic list post: 22 knockin' rap songs which sample or interpolate 80s pop classics

Barely-veiled "Why is a shitty UK Hip-House remix of Kid 'N' Play's 2 Hype the only rap song that's ever sampled Blancmange's Living On The Ceiling?" post with a self-explanatory premise.

Remember that Hit Boy beat with the tuba which Nicki Minaj dissed Lil' Kim about selling her album on Paypal over? It now has a new home:

Rich Boy ft. Game - Ridin' Thru My City
(From t'internet; 2014)


Nas was a gun (™ Thun), Rich Boy is a bus - you sit around waiting for him to turn up for ages and then he pops up twice like WAT. Hit Boy productions which resist the urge to go all Jon Brion-meets-Michael Bay in their final third are the best kind of Hit Boy productions; also see: Kiss It by DEV & Sage The Gemini, which will forever ever be a better song than N*ggas In Paris and not just because DEV & Sage are better rappers than the Camel & KanYe at this point.

Another mystery solved

Thanx to Jeff for comin' through with the info on the mystery Right Now song. Can't even front, I'm actually feelin' this shit now I've heard it in full because it's kinda like a Yo Gotti song as performed by one of Hot Stylz:

"Uh, I feel like Superman right naw
Up-up-and-away with your hoe, change your plans right naw
In the club diddy boppin', watch me do my dance right naw
Said she wanna make a movie, I'ma call Stan right naw"

Looni - Right Now
(From the internet; 2014)


Am I trippin' or is that really a Mark Rogowski reference in the second verse when dude says "the house smell like a dead body right naw/I'm lookin' out for Gator & Janoski right naw"?

There's also a version of this shit on YouTube where Looni performs it acapella while beating on his chest. Not so much "half man, half amazing" as half Matthew McConaughey in The Wolf Of Wall Street, half Alpoko Don:
