JDATS - Houstalantavegas

Here's a remake I did of Drake's Song Houstatlantavegas. One of my favorite songs off So far Gone. just tried messing around with harmony's and vocal arrangements. It is a little rough around the edges. but I think it came out ok.

I'm just saying...

If people who reviewed and critiqued music, were actually musicians... we'd all be in a better place.

the XX


Before the bottles of red stripe yesterday at Redstar, I sat with a few friends discussing the INDIE ROCK X HIP HOP MIXTAPE project that I'm currently putting together. I needed suggestions for bands to sample from. One of the only things I do remember last night was Michael telling me to check out the XX. UK Rock. And Rock they do!

My Prada say Prada, and their Prada say Fila...


So after doing the remix to Wale's Pretty Girls. the lyrics for this song kept looping in my head non stop. Catch myself reciting lines where ever I am. But one line stuck out like a sore thumb in that song..."My Prada say Prada, and their Prada say Fila..." For a minute, I was like WTF?, you can't confuse Prada with Fila...does Fila even make shoes these days?... and then I found this post that made everything quite clear what Wale was speaking on. this post came in late 2008, but now everything makes sense.

crazy bitches...

JDATS NEW REMIXES...JAN. 27th 2010

2010 comin strong, already having put out Jeezy and Rihanna remixes, I decided to go a different route and blend my two favorite generes together. Made beats out of Indie Rock tracks remixed with brand new hip hop 'pellas. The outcome... so damn beautiful....


This first one is DRAKE VS. FEIST, somehow her song Intuition was the right inspiration to sample from and make a great great hip hop joint.
FLY INTUITION - DRAKE (PROD.JDATS) by joeydats

TBHP - The Letter

I was recently challenged by a certain someone to learn a song on piano... challenge accepted. The song in question was The Letter by The Black Heart Procession. A band I had never heard of, but was told they were the greatest thing ever.

Here's the original... Great video and concept...


And....Here's Me playing the first few bars of this song... Listen while you watch my Tiger Woods 10 Character hit a hole in one. I still haven't figured out how to put mp3s on this blog. so i made a video... LoL


Learnt under 10 minutes and a hole in one... impressed?... u oughta be playa... haha

Gil Scott - Heron, Me and the Devil

This is a video for Gil Scott-Heron song Me and the Devil, it reminds me of a low budget version of Jay's video "On to the Next One"... any video with zombie skateboarders in NY, is a cool video.

*wikifact: Gil Scott-Heron (born April 1, 1949) is an American poet, musician, and author known primarily for his late 1960s and early 1970s work as a spoken word soul performer

THE WEEKEND KIDS


Some of the most talented group of guys I've ever had the chance to hang and jam with.

letters

your tired words spoken with eyes closed
same story told so already i know
i'm just maxed out, already declined it
but u just front with lies,
so not a lot of truth behind it...

I'm 3 years too late to actually post this as something new and relevant, but I've been a huge fan of Aziz Ansari since I've started watching Parks & Recreation and plus his cameos in Funny People, Observe and Report and Flight of the Conchords. Here's a funny skit from the show.

Sleep Walking

When I'm wide awake
Seeing things straight
You're a love I gotta lose
Even though you never change
You stay the same
I keep on waking up next to you
And I dont know why...

You got me sleep walking
