Big Pun: Formidable and Unrivalled

Follow Us, Or Be Branded A Fool

John Mayer-Heartbreak Warfare

ajay182: February 1, 2010

I honestly and truthfully completely love this song. It was one of my favourite songs of 2009, and I still play it all the time.

Mayer performs it really well, and I’m surprised at how well everything sounds in this performance. It’s in glorious HD too, so it’s a treat for nearly all of the senses. Be sure to do your ears more favours and grab the .mp3 of the original. Fans of alternative and/or mellow music need this.

You’re here to be eclectic, not narrow.

Ajay-182’s Best of ‘09

ajay182: December 28, 2009


In what can best be described as a fitting coincidence given the retrospective nature of this particular post, 2009 was very much a year of hindsight. I rediscovered artists I’d neglected, I discovered artists who I’d simply ignored, but most importantly I began to see the fundamental flaw in my appreciation of music (especially hip-hop) and how I probably got it wrong.

Don’t make the same mistakes. Click on to grab some unmissable tracks, and of course my discoveries from the year gone by. I’ve thrown in a couple of lists too, as I know some of you can’t deal with excess reading.

A phenomenally original post title for this collection of new music. New stuff from John Mayer, Game, Jamie Foxx/Justin Timberlake and much more from loads of big names after the click.

I need to stop having to resort to multiple track-filled posts and post this sh*t up when I get it, like I used to. Bad habits eh?

Some (Very) Brief Album Reviews

ajay182: November 30, 2009

30-seconds
Firstly, apologies for the quiet day on here. I’m having some issues with the back-end of things, and it’s going a lot slower than usual. Hopefully, normal service will resume in the next hour or so.

Right, onto this post: I get through a lot of albums weekly, and unfortunately just don’t have the time to do as many reviews as I’d like. They take a huge amount of time, which is pretty hard to come by. Don’t fret though, as I will have some coming up very soon (the assignments are nearly done!) and to tie you over I’ve written some mini-reviews on albums I’ve given a spin recently. Click below to swarm yourself in my warped opinions.

Wale and John Mayer

ajay182: October 26, 2009

Wale+stage
How has this not made the album? Wale just let loose of this collabo which was cut from Attention: Deficit. It’s a fantastic track, and in keeping with the quality of music that Wale keeps dropping. The beat is relaxed, Mayer’s hook is drifty and memorable, and Wale’s raps are on point. He comes on a more conscious tip than other recent stuff, and it’s always a lane he does well in.

If all of these great tracks aren’t making the album, the album must be absolutely classic.
