Oh Eddie Murphy--Gotta Love Rick James

Remember Eddie Murphy's "Party All the Time"? If you do and don't want to, sorry. However, if you haven't heard it, it's definitely pertinent that you do! I wanted to watch the video, after having not seen it in a very long time. Sadly enough, all I remembered from it was Rick James--the long blond curls, and his excitement while he "produced" Eddie in the video. (I'm referring to how Rick James was looking between 2:40 and 2:50 seconds of the video) Peep this essential song in music history!:

Crazy Bassist

I love the bass and synth. When I listen to music those are probably the first things I listen to. Wayne "Buddy" Hankerson is a crazy bassist who, I believe, used to play for the funk group Slave. A bunch of their music has been sampled in hip-hop, "Watching You" was sampled on one of Snoop Dogg's tracks. Check out the bass solo:

The Sleepbox

For the frequent travelers out there--I'm not sure if these will fill the void (if there is one lol) between not being able to find a place to sleep for the night and a hostel, but I think the design and concept is really interesting. They slightly remind me of the "capsule" which seem to be pretty popular in Japan...

The Warm Up - Almost a year old, but still something to get you hyped for the game

I know this mixtape is about a year old (Released June 19, 2009), but I have just now started getting into it. I definitely hear potential and passion on it. Let's see how his first album sounds. I hear No. I.D. is producing a lot of tracks on it which, from his track record, (no pun intended) should be good.

Portable Housing

Crazy concept by Brazilian architect Felipe Campolina! Check out more of his work here
