I become excited about new music that I find interesting. I sometimes want to share such findings with friends. Perhaps this will be an outlet to do such a thing. Perhaps no one will read it. Perhaps i'll get lazy about it in a week. Anywho..
Today I looked into Spank Rock's new EP "Bangers and Cash", which features a producer (who's new to me) named Benny Blanco. This shit is very, very dirty. Like as in, sexual, sweaty dirtyness. The beats are crunk as shit though. It's like a half hour sweaty ass dance party wrapped up in an EP. I'm coming to very much enjoy this brand of 80s/Crunk/Hip Hop-ified flavor of music, that seems to centralize mostly in Baltimore and Philly. Other artists of this style that I've come across are Blaqstarr, Food For Animals (awesome!), Rye Rye (on tour w/ MIA right now), and others. I bought the music using a fairly newer service called Lala.com. It allows you to download digital versions of the tracks, plus they send you a physical copy. I thought I'd be able to download these digitals into my iTunes, turns out that's not the case. They stay on my "online Lala music folder". Not so sure how i feel about that. Not sure if I'll ever use Lala again. Anyway, here's the video of "B.O.O.T.A.Y." off of Bangers and Cash. Supposedly there will be a video for each of the 5 songs on the EP. Anyone want to have a dance party soon...??
(check out www.myspace.com/spankrock for more videos. I actually like the one for "Pu$$y" a lot more.. very funny and awesome!)
There's also a video on the Spank Rock myspace featuring SR, Amanda Blank, and Benny Blanco counting down their top 10 picks of "songs to do it to".. which forced me to download "Roni" and "Rock Wit'cha" by Bobby Brown. Damn you 80's slow jams! You'll be the death of me!!
"Rock Wit'cha"
