Happy Friday, folks! There’s something about Fridays that make me want to dance and groove wherever I go. So that’s when “Funk It Out Fridays” come in handy. I get a funky sound in my head early in the day and that’s my groovin’ music. Bootsy Collins and his Rubber Band will provide all the funk needed for movin’ into the weekend.
Oh, and 5 cool as hell points if you recognize who sampled this song. It’s pretty easy (big ass hint, btw). Enjoy your weekend!
It’s Friday, y’all! Don’t it feel good? Here’s a lil’ something for you to get your weekend started right. The original Nasty Girl, Ms. Betty Davis emits a rawness that’s accompanied by a nasty guitar riff and expressive percussions. So, go ‘head and groove to this.
“Live fast, die young. Bad girls do it well.”
This video right here?? Dopeness personified. Not only are the lyrics hardhitting, the visuals are fast-moving and lively. M.I.A. stays true to form, from the flashy clothes down to the “fuck you” attitude. What makes this video (directed by Romain Gavras) even more badass are the possibly political undertones embedded in the plot. Women doing doughnuts, toting rifles and standing on top of cars gliding on two wheels, all in protest of archaic Islamic gender laws? Girl power, indeed.
The song (produced by Danja) comes from her mixtape Vicki Leekx . M.I.A. is currently working on new music, with an album anticipated for a summer release.
Santigold is back! And with a banger, might I add. Yeah, “Big Mouth” is a frantic mix of percussions and chants, but the urgency of the sounds and lyrics really drive the song. The video–illustrated and directed by Cody Critcheloe–that accompanies this joint is just…sick. The bold hues and wild structures give off a festive vibe. Apropos, seeing as a crown is methodically placed throughout the video. What you tryna say, Santi?? Oh, and what’s a comeback without a lil beef on the side??
