Thursday, October 15, 2009 SIR, CAN YOU GET THAT LIGHT OUT MY EYE ITS BLOCKIN MA SIGHT! [UPDATE]  Today, I was sent this nugget of God-kissed Heaven from both Alex Doorknobs and Jayson, who both knew a Beaumont-FOREVER jam when they hear one. hotdoorknobs: the new gucci mane song w/big boi is fucking amazing hotdoorknobs: you will love it jaychampvinyl: we were actually just talking about this today jaychampvinyl: we both agreed it was part of Jeffrey Beaumont's life soundtrack Either way, it's nice to know i've got my own personal listeners out there. Or that i'm that hilariously predictable. The short and easy write-up you'll probably hear about "Shine Blockas" (yes, weird, 'tard name) is "Intl Players Anthem Pt II", which only does it justice in the sense of providing a nice little totally unfuckwithable reference point, which is probably more bad than good since more or less no rap song in the world can bathe in the same pool as "Players Anthem". That said: wow. This track is just fucking great, and calling it a "party jam" does both song and beat a disservice, as it is goes well beyond the "let's have a hedonistic ball for three minutes and not worry about what comes after," and straight into, "You best let this track unfold gentle and watch the way it will flutter gently in and out of the deepest recesses of your mind." Yes, I am referring to a track that Gucci Mane appears on. Part of what makes this track so good I think is the way the beat steps out of "str8 rapz land" (not a real place) and heads toward "delighting in fine musics of the world." The very first thing I thought upon hearing it was, "Wow, Avalanches." My lede here said "God-kissed," but I could have more specific by describing the beat as a "sun-swirled Creator tonguebath", in the exact same way that you felt the first time you listened to "Since I Left You": joyful, triumphant yet curious, loving the possibilities of life that you may not yet have discovered. I've listened to it seven times already since I received this afternoon and I'm looking forward to listening to it about seventy-five times more before 2009 is out. Holla post-summer rhythmic satisfaction. LISTEN: Big Boi f.
