FRISCOLD x GREY MATTER
Being born and raised in Frisco i have gotten used to having cold ass summer days....thats right, NYC Philly and ATL -- COLD ASS SUMMER days. Part of the suspended animation in a grey expanse casting shadows over tha sun existence that is Frisco Life includes hella days during tha summer where tha fog sets up shop and ain't tryna move no matter WHAT tha sun gotta say about it. Today was one of them days, and cold grey summer days bring out certain emotions. Certain emotions that hypothetically could be compounded by certain circumstances in one's social life -- hypothetically (or, highly pathetically) making a grey summer day feel like a bowl of shit soup.
Anyhoo, that's here but not there. My point was to explain this morass of grayness thru music that helped me translate as a likkle bway growing up here. When i was heavy on my sample digging game in tha early 90s, i dug this Bay Area gem and here present it to you, dear reader, as a sonic sampling of whats going on overhead in tha City By Tha Bay today. I'm also including tha joint that famously (and HELLA skillfully) sampled it. A beautiful track, and tha rhythm changes are crazy....

Oi!! Bendicion!! I was downtown and it was suuunnny daaays. But, that song is dope, you know I loooooove them old jams. I actually put that song on a nap time c.d. for my little homies in my class and they love it too. One little dude in particular wakes up earlier then everyone else and whenever he hears it, is always like "I like dis one".. hella cute when he sings what he thinks they're sayin'. If I could understand what he was sayin, I'd type it out for ya... alas
