    OG music, i love his flow on this song, of course, i love all the songs, hard to choose, but this kind of style from Static, the OG style is my preferate.

  2. I gotta go with Grateful. The group harmonzing together over a beat by a Timbo that almost gives the song an eerie undertone.

  5. Either Thru it All or Off At! My reasoning is because I knw hw much these two records truly meant to Static! So when I listen, the things that he said about these two just get me weak EVERYTIME!!! But of course, I love them all. Those two would have to be the ones that get the most rotation in my whip!!

  6. I already knew 5 songs from the mixtape, so i choose from the one i didn't know, but like Neeze, Thru It all, that i first heard Smokey version, was one of my preferate song from Smokey, you can easily tell that the lyrics are for someone in particulary, that's what i like.

  9. I go back and forth Thru it All was always a stand out for me from Smokey's first solo, and it was good to hear this version with Static on lead and Smoke ad-libbing, and it was cool imagining how Whitney would be on it ..... Questions has been my jam since I heard it on Bud'das page in 08 ..... once I got the tape my favorite was definitely Drawls lol ... the background info definitely enhances the listening experience ..... Tru Entertainer is craaaazy, that intro sets it off and hearing them do so much vocally over a simple track, and knowing how many writers would ask for a producer to add more to the track before they could write ..... Stallion is hot for the clubs, and that woulda been a great single cause its an anthem, what guy doesn't go in the club with that attitude?

Music: Brandy - La La Land (UPDATED)

Exclusive song is provided by Neeze, courtesy of Swatt Music EDIT: So another version of "La La Land" has surfaced the internet... Still no confirmation on who wrote this version of the track. The verse and bridge is still the stuff that Static wrote, but the verses are different. This leads me to my question...which version of the song do you prefer?

Taura "Aura" Jackson talks about "Crazy" and Static Major

I've posted some information on the blog exclusive joint "Crazy" by Aura already, but I figured it would make more sense if we heard it straight from her, because she was actually there. So here is the very talented Aura talking about the history of the track: I was signed to Atlantic at the time. Gee Roberson was my A&R and he manages Kanye. Kanye came to the studio and had forgotten his records, but I'm an avid Joni Mitchell fan and had some of her records there. It was like magic watching Kanye work. He crafted that beat like it was a priceless sculpture. When it started to come together Gee, who managed Static at that time too said "What do you think about Static co-writing with you?" Well, I was ecstatic, pun fully intended. Within an hour or so, Static came over. I was fully aware and familiar with his work with Playa, Aaliyah, Genuine and he had also written my girl Truth Hurts super sick single "Addicted", so I was excited. He came in...
