- "Soulja Boy up in this hoe watch me lean and watch me rock superman dat hoe then watch me crank dat robocop." This song from the "Feed The Animals" mash up masterpiece features everything from Megadeth to the Cure and of course Soulja Boy Tell 'Em. "Feed The Animals" takes you on a pirated musical journey mixing hip-hop, dance, R&B, rock, metal, 80s and beyond. The samples (it's all samples) come fast and furious rewarding seasoned and untrained ears. If you are at Bonaroo next week be sure to check out Girl Talk.
2. The Infamous Date Rape- A Tribe Called Quest
- "Uh huh, you know science, you get buckwild runnin mad games as if your name was Scott Skiles." If you don't like A Tribe Called Quest then I'm willing to bet you don't like hip hop. This song comes from the "Low End Theory" album that would qualify as one of the great all time sophomore efforts across any genre. This may not be one of the top tracks from Low End Theory (see Buggin' Out, Check the Rhime, Scenario) but I'm not about to leave anything off my iPod from this classic.
- "All my life I thought I needed all the things I didn't need at all my life I thought I wanted all the things I didn't want at all." After the Lemonheads disbanded in the late 90s front man Evan Dando disappeared for a number of years only to return in 2003 with the solo album "Baby I'm Bored". "All My Life" comes off like a mantra for someone who's been through serious turmoil. In Dando's case it was self inflicted. Members of Guster (who had toured with the Lemonheads in the late 90s) commented that Evan and company were taking drugs they had never even heard of. "All My Life" serves as a lament and a stand out song from an otherwise uneven affair.
