Righteous Movement on KDVS Radio, Davis CA
tonight, mi crew Righteous Movement took over the airwaves on KDVS FM in Davis. it was good to hear mi dudes holdin it down . theek, sol tais, and skurge were freestylin, spittin live, and hosting (like DONNIE SIMPSON!). twas truly a good time. so much, i was compelled to call-in from Los Angeles and remotely kick it on the air.
it occurred pretty late to mi; i should record this. so i fired up sound forge and recorded the last 16mins or so. i know, i know. it aint the whole thang, but you can still vibe out as i did…

Summer Meme: Sing Along / Seven Songs
The homie, Roney Smith (aka @Seedoflife) tagged mi! i like this tag, cause its relating to music! aaaah yesh, and the theme is interesting as well; songs that are shaping your summer! awsome idea, and a tag from an awsome dude! lets do it! here are the instructions:
“List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they’re not any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying now, shaping your spring summer. Post these instructions in your blog along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they’re listening to.”
7. Busta Rhymes – Turn Me Up Some
Truly a great Dilla track. Not only is Busta flippin his patterns and weaving his usual lyrical magic, but the tightened drum kit, with a killer set of melodies. Dilla & Busta do it again. Peep the Redman sample!
This track always make mi slouch a lil in mi seat, headnodding terribly…
6. Dez Dickerson – MODERNAIRE
okay, yall remember this song from Purple Rain, however, it was not on the soundtrack! thanks to some diehard Paisley Parkers, the song is in its entirety on youtube! this is mi only way to hear this song, as THIS vinyl is hard to get ahold of without spending a grip. the open highhat on the snare when the hook runs is that small bit of genius. you cant help but do the damn dance! heh
5. Super – Misty Hours
im SO convinced this group no longer exists. they sound like a lounge act, and i think theyre from Finland or some place. I got a sample CD years ago and was hooked. then it became harder and harder to find their damn music. wait…just did more digging. heres some info on the group. anyhow, “misty hours” is like an ode to summer and city life. “come stand here on the empty square, high on nightly air”. Minna Joenniemi on lead vocal…her voice is enchanting. hit mi privately, and i’ll give you a taste. their music is awsome.
4. CunninLynguists – Yellow Lines f. Phonte & Witchdoctor
serving suggestion: this is a song you listen to after doin the nasty. the window open, blinds blowing gently. youre either getting rubbed, or your rubbing someone lightly. the music speaks for the summer indeed. and you’ll need to say nothing while this song plays in the background. notable lyric:
Put a spell on ‘em, Forgive me Lord but I’m hell on ‘em
Baby we grown folk, So let me longstroke
And send em back to they man with my smell on ‘em
Let me be quiet before I tell on ‘em – Phonte
3. Janet Jackson – Warmth
if there ever was a theme song for oral sex, THIS was it. not that summer has everything to do with sex, but i dig this song for various reasons. 1st off, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis produced this sexual wonder, and its so minimal, yet, oh so sensual. the bass is infectious. the lyrics; oh so nasty. great job, Flyte Tyme!
2. Devin The Dude – Dont Wanna Be Alone
damn, another ballad. this one is really a hip hop ballad with a twist. its comedy, but its a great friggin song! for once, im stumped on the sample, but it goes to work!
1. The Beach Boys – In My Room
“in this world i lock out all my worries and my fears.” this has been a favorite of mine for some time now, but it really sums up mi summer. i feel so comfortable and safe within the walls of the studio control room. i am able to just focus on music, locking out the BS and concentrating at the task at hand. alternatively, when at home, im usually in mi bedroom. thats where mi computers are, mi xbox360, clothes, and MPC2000. needless to say, this was definately #1 for shaping mi hermit of a summer.
and now i tag mi favorite people that havent already been tagged:
Moneke – Tais – Desiree Devine – 2TheHead – Nicky Black – Jack Lhasa – ChristyXCore
goooood times, yall!
yee!

new tumblr blog: the omina sessions
aight, so i got the tumblr page up. its BEEN up, but i had no idea what to do with it that would be different…then it just dawned on mi about 20 min ago: why not make a tumblr about the recording studio i work @: omina labs!
so far, ive put up a couple of pics of “upper management”, and one of our FAVORITE youtube vids. i’ll be putting up pics of various celebs that come around (most of which you can already see on our myspace), bay area legends, and our clients. this should be fun!

tofu916 “live fast die young” f/Skurge, Tais, SOL & Miss Ashleigh
from twitter.com
mi:i dont believe there is such thing as TMI on the internet.
prp2: @tofu916 I would agree with that statement. Though I will say that who I am online is also who I am in the real world. No point otherwise.
just keeping the ball rollin. I was just speaking to a homie about how J Dilla revolutionized music. since the 1st time I heard this brotha, I have been a fan of his. Dilla died on February 10, 2006. i thought i was going to die. this was a man I had modeled mi earlier production after…
well, Dilla had a way of pushing his beats around. He would give out beat CDs to alot of people, from local to mainstream. any rough drafts are easy to find on the internet. some of his stuff, you can still hear the hiss of the 4 track he and slum village used to record on!
whether people just leaked his shit all over the place, or he did it himself, his rough drafts are now priceless commodities, and they arent hard to find and download. i still support Dilla by buying his releases, but there are countless gems that arent available via itunes or retailers.
ive always believed in not ‘leaking’ music that is still in draft form, but that was before web 2.0. as long as its mi music, it will be as available as Dillas music is. productions for artists i work with will still be respectively handled by the artists or their lables.
while the following is a rough draft (and has ‘watermarks’), i only ask that if you like this and other songs of mine, PLEASE share them. on your podcasts, torrent sites, limewire, myspace, your playlists, facebook, lastfm, imeem, smartphones, iphones/ipods or what have you.
i could NEVER be like Dilla. but when i die, i would like to be remembered via mp3 (same as any musician)!
thank you for your support! i LoVe yall.

this was mi comment upon FINALLY finding this song online,
thank you SO much for posting this! i had been looking for it, and was able to only hear it from mi uncle who had it on vinyl. then i forgot how to spell the groups name and was searching the net for an hour! thank you again! you have no idea how much i LoVe this song! =o)

Artists: Aurra
Tune: Still Free
aside from the re-cock-ulous 80s sound, this is perhaps one of the sexiest songs ive ever heard in mi life. i 1st heard it on a mixtape mi uncle made for mi mom back when we lived in san diego. mom would be gettin ready, spraying her big hair down and singin along.
the verses are kinda liner, and that bassline has a hint of seduction, but when that hook kicks in…jesus! its just so intentionally sexual! when i hear it now as an adult, i wanna make slow, tangy, LoVe.
someone needs to remake this shit! mabey i’ll do it just for shits n giggles. then you can slap it on when youre poundin some flesh, and mabey the man/woman youre with can be like, “ooooh shit….wait, baby.
can you bring that song back? i came twice while it was on..”
heh. dream on, tofu.
=oP
update: made an mp3 out of it, complete w/ id3 info. enjoi.
