    Mimi the art of doing nothing

    Jan 2, 2016
    I've really been getting into this style of music in the past year. It's great background music for life, while walking, travelling, browsing the web ect.


    playlist


    Here are a couple tracks, starting with the great Pete Rock to begin the thread








    @Ordinary Joel any beats you could recommend, I know you have some good taste for this :emoji_heart:

    This is the greatest thread I've ever seen wow :mjcry:

    The Foreign Exchange joint is one of my most played songs I just vibe out and listen to Phonte do what he does best.

    Figure this is a relevant place to mention that I saw the Digable Planets reunion show the other night. They had a live band, it was awesome. Only decent quality video I could find:

    I was 16, so I didn't really realize the weight of it at the time, but they were great. No live band or anything but it still blew my teenage mind.

    f---, come to think of it, I paid $70 for a two day pass to Bumbershoot to see Tribe, Kanye, and a bunch of other stuff that year! So f---ing cheap. It was during Kanye's Late Orchestration tour and he brought out Lupe for Touch the Sky (this was before Lupe's debut even dropped). 16 year old me had no idea how dope that was at the time.

    This song is super gutter in terms of the lyrics and content but the bassline is magnificent. As a matter of fact Black Moon's "Enta Da Stage" album has amazing basslines throughout most of it's songs. It's worth checking out if you haven't already.

    I know that this is really predictable, but the thread just doesn't feel right without including this song.
