Heltah Skeltah - Nocturnal

This is, no doubt, my favorite rap album. Also making it the best of the B.C.C. albums. Which I'll probably post at sometime.

What's the deal nigga?  Set it off in the dark
I spark marks when the big Ruck flips the Ark
The raw rapper jaw tapper Ruckus kick it wicked
Keep it real my click roll thick like acidics
Plus, I Be There like Jackson, breakin your backs and
askin, who want more, that's when my fat spins
So chump chill 'fore my pump kill
You wanna ill still Ruck knock out your front grill
The lyrical whatevah, cuz whatevah is lyrical
I bring forth, thoughts beyond those of physical
Raps get deep when I mack with my peeps
You yappin bout beef you'll get clapped in the streets bitch
This nigga Ruck is fuckin crazier than ten niggaz
I send niggaz to hell, full of my rhymes and then I bend niggaz
so what??  Pussy bring it on
Word is bond, Sean got songs that's mad strong

My good lord... what genius is that. He actually uses the word pugilist in the album. Ruck has a smoother flow that butters shit up, while rock (Da Rockness Monstah) has this gargantuan voice that was meant to fuck shit up. Highly, highly recommended.

Through the window, life can seem like a great game, even a nice movie. And that's exactly what it is.

Umm... this shit is creepy.

If I Was Your Vampire - Instrumental

Dmitri Shostakovich - Cello Concertos Nos 1 & 2

Great cello solos. Maisky seems to work through them well, and, like Gould on the "Bach Variations", he can be heard humming along at certain points. The first concerto makes use of Shostakovich's famous DSCH motif.

In the trees there are men who call themselves jungle people. What difference does it make the acts of these men. For in the world of calypso, there can only be one true understanding.

Rhythm & Sound - Rhythm & Sound

Pretty legit electro-dub. It's one of those projects from Moritz von Oswald who makes some chill electronic stuff. Good for a blunt or two.

Understand, the way you see yourself on the ground, is the way you see yourself on the ground. The way others see you on the ground, no matter how the views differ, is not you. It can never be you.
