Pod Play: J Cole – Killer
Name a song J Cole hasn’t threw up on… [I'll wait] This track is no different. It’s clear his strength is definitely in these storytelling songs. However, this song won’t make it to Cole-World. J Cole brings this track to life through the deep thoughts of a killer. “My story isn’t the only one I’m trying to tell,” J Cole. Cooking up a classic takes time, so be patient, Cole-World will definitely be a classic.
Mama, I just killed a man. My body’s still trembling can you feel my hand? Don’t shed no tears, it wont be long before they find out it was me mama. This may be the last time you may see me free, Ma don’t spend it cry’n. You did ya best. I was blessed, know you was stressed try’n… to keep me out the streets. Me duck’n police, try’n not to make a peep to wake you up outta ya sleep. A drunk and high fool, skipp’n class flunk’n high school

Music Monday: Cee Lo Green – Fuck You [Video]
Besides the beautifully created animated type, the song by Cee Lo is definitely a hit and easy to vibe to. The first time I heard it I said it was real jazzy. Friday night at Aunchies over drinks and social rhythm, the song came on and everyone broke out in song. Enjoy.

Video: And He Gets The Girl – Lupe Fiasco
I recently stumbled across this video at PMD. It’s a classic Lupe without the “fear,” one of my favorites at that. The video was expressive, Matthew Metoyer does well with typography and use of visual-aids.

Video: RISD Senior Narrative inspired by Cudder
Evan Polivy (PolivisionProductions) is a student at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and as part of his groups final project they put together this great “music video narrative” that was inspired by Cudi’s debut album “Man on the Moon: The End of Day”. Here’s what he had to say:
The video is a collaborative senior thesis project between Matt Cavallaro, Christin Neal, and myself (all students at The Rhode Island School of Design – we graduate in 2 weeks). We felt a strong connection to Cudi’s music and wrote a story based on the narrative Cudi tells in Man on the Moon: The End of Day. We call it a “music video narrative,” because it’s partially a music video and partially a narrative short film. It’s about a troubled teenager who uses music to escape into his own space fantasy where he finds the girl of his dreams.
