I've seen some of you talkin about the song "She Ain't So Bad", one of my fav Playa song, even if we just could hear a snippet of the song. Actually i think Static is doin it solo. The song contains a sample, from Barry White - Our Theme, released in 1981. Static singin' is amazing, it fits perfectly with the movie theme, deep feelings about women/men relationships. The movie was originally done in 2001, & the dvd was released in 2003, but the soundtrack never came out, & some songs that was played in the movie stayed unreleased til this day. Here's what was playin in the movie: You can see another Playa song called "Baby Girl", song is actually "Lust" but an earlier version, beat is the same, but lyrics on the chorus & vocal arrangements are differents. As always, on the Staticismusic.blogspot.com, after reading the story, hear the music, but unfortunaly, only the portion of the tracks played in the movie are available (so for...
"Big Body!! I'm off at, off at!!!"
ReplyDeleteOG 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.
I gotta go with Grateful. The group harmonzing together over a beat by a Timbo that almost gives the song an eerie undertone.
ReplyDeleteIt really depends on the mood I'm in lol. I'm gonna go with "Stallion" for now though.
ReplyDeleteTim, what is your favorite??
ReplyDelete1 of my fav was on the tape was 1970 Somethin, but Drawls was just crazy
ReplyDeleteEither 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!!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteBest tracks:
ReplyDelete1. Drawls - mad addictive! Vocals are crazy!
2. Tru Entertainer - reminds me of old Tim beats
3. Stallion
4. Grateful
5. Aaliyah Aaliyah
6. Off That.
It's hard too chose...the whole tape is banging, but my favz are: Drawls, Aailyah, Questions, Tru Entertainer & Off At
ReplyDeleteI 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?
