Of course I shouldn't presume.

i bought a new pair of sneakers the other day and i felt like a rich man indeed

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 6 March 2006 20:06 (eighteen years ago) link

The sneakers I wear on any given day are worth more than everything else I'm wearing combined (even when I layer up). It has been this way since I was nine or so.

This thread is going weird.

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Monday, 6 March 2006 20:07 (eighteen years ago) link

Like today, for instance:

Costco shirt bought by wife (gray-like): $10
Calvin Klein jeans bought at Nordstrom Rack (blue): $15
Champion boxer briefs (white): $5
Socks (black): $5
Somewhat-fancy Italian "lifestyle" shoes (black and blue): $80 (I think)

If Sa-Ra go to Costco, it's p'bly to buy big vats of maple syrup in which to dunk their stripper friends.

And maybe some CDRs (CDR-ahs).

Adam you do not dress like a hobo. Hobos don't shop at H&M.

i've been known to wear some fancy trainers and expensive jeans while driving around in my suv that i park in my downtown loft

― team jaxon (jaxon), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 17:34 (eighteen years ago) link

unfortunately that's all true

― team jaxon (jaxon), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 17:34 (eighteen years ago) link

oh, and one more thing. SA RA IS NOT NEO-SOUL!!

― team jaxon (jaxon), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 17:35 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah I don't hear that either.

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 17:37 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah, but they hang with those folks...and folks who luv the neo-soul tend to like'em...

― cybele (cybele), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 18:04 (eighteen years ago) link

all slsk folders containing sa-ra tend to confirm this

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 18:07 (eighteen years ago) link

one year passes...

So, they're finally releasing an album! April 24th... it's not Black Fuzz, they claim it's just something to get us warmed up for the REAL MAJOR LABEL DEBUT, but hey it's something. Featues Erykah adu, Gerogia Anne Muldrow, Bilal, and a bunch of others.

― The Brainwasher, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 01:48 (seventeen years ago) link

it's about time, yes

― Michael F Gill, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 14:00 (seventeen years ago) link

hmmm

― strongohulkington, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 16:30 (seventeen years ago) link

i have a sa-ra comp or something i downloaded, but it doesn't have any of the track names. i hate when people don't tag their shit properly.

― artdamages, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 17:15 (seventeen years ago) link

New disc is called The Hollywood Recordings and it's coming out on neither Sound in Color nor Sony/G.O.O.D. Music (who are allegedly putting out the debut album) but on Babygrande. Huh.

― Telephone thing, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 17:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Strongo otm.

Who is mad amped?

HOOS is mad amped.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 19:28 (seventeen years ago) link

two weeks pass...

my friend sent me a few mp3s from The Hollywood Recordings that Giant Step is giving out as a digital promo. 'Feel The Bass (feat. Talib Kweli)', 'Hey Love', 'So Special', 'And If (feat. Ty)'. i'm pretty unimpressed. Hey Love is great. the track with talib has talib on it - ugh. wasn't a fan of the other 2.

so i'm on IM w/him and i say: "so special" sucks. sounds like bad neo soul
and he responds with "that's my good friend Reesie"

uhhhh, ooops.

― chaki, Friday, 13 April 2007 23:50 (seventeen years ago) link

kweli sounds :-/ but i like the beat a lot

― deej, Saturday, 14 April 2007 21:43 (seventeen years ago) link

actually kweli's last verse isn't bad

― deej, Saturday, 14 April 2007 21:44 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah that beat is dope

― deej, Saturday, 14 April 2007 21:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Undaunted by their road blocks to success, the group has remained focused on the task at hand and denies speculation that they were close to the point of going their separate ways.
"It's not that there was more tension than usual, but with not having money and cats starting to ask questions, that tension gets to a point...", he explains. "It was a growth period. We weren't broken up and as far as I'm concerned we weren't going to break up. I've been through worst situations in the music business. What it does...it's like facing death. You let it die or you resurrect and keep it moving. It made us face the importance of Sa-Ra."

so srsly, can someone put down their top 3 unimpeachable sa-ra classics or something? still curious if its me or them - just listened to this album, found it really pretty wack, but i'm seeing people saying the kweli track's hott when there was me reckoning it was the worst track on it by far. 'hey love' is nice.

did anyone ever hear this btw? def better than hollywood from what little i recall. also the cherrywine album that got mentioned upthread, that was fun too

― r|t|c, Friday, 20 April 2007 16:27 (sixteen years ago) link

http://www.myspace.com/saracreativepartners

― r|t|c, Friday, 20 April 2007 16:29 (sixteen years ago) link

kweli sounds :-/

haha

― Jordan, Friday, 20 April 2007 16:33 (sixteen years ago) link

thnx for the link dude, "Hey Love" does sound great

― deej, Friday, 20 April 2007 16:37 (sixteen years ago) link

how the mighty have fallen. this album sucks. all of the new shit sounds like neo soul. guh. the only good stuff on that album is stuff i've already when i started this thread.

so srsly, can someone put down their top 3 unimpeachable sa-ra classics or something?

i don't have all their stuff w/me here, but off the top of my head, i'm gonna say Glorious, Hollywood, and the Agent Orange beat.

― jaxon, Friday, 20 April 2007 19:43 (sixteen years ago) link

Also Divine. That sounds really good if you are hi.

I'm still looking forward to hearing the album.

― admrl, Friday, 20 April 2007 19:45 (sixteen years ago) link

But not as much as listening to this stuff makes me want a new Moodymann.

― admrl, Friday, 20 April 2007 19:50 (sixteen years ago) link

k, getting near the end of the record and the latter tracks are way better. way less commercial. Tracy's pretty good.

― jaxon, Friday, 20 April 2007 19:59 (sixteen years ago) link

I am never high, but I always like listening to the album -- or at least the version with the songs I zapped out. I also like a fair amount of commercial R&B and have a high tolerance for HOT when hot/MEH when meh types.

― Andy K, Friday, 20 April 2007 21:08 (sixteen years ago) link

can you translate the last part of yr sentence for me?

― deej, Friday, 20 April 2007 21:18 (sixteen years ago) link

not trying to be a dick here! genuinely don't understand

― deej, Friday, 20 April 2007 21:18 (sixteen years ago) link

he has a high tolerance for people where their great tracks are GREAT and their less than great tracks are LESS THAN GREAT

― strongohulkington, Friday, 20 April 2007 21:20 (sixteen years ago) link

oh ok thnx

― deej, Friday, 20 April 2007 21:23 (sixteen years ago) link

I am not hi that much, I have too many adult responsibilities. Just happened to hear that song once when very hi and it felt like I was walking backwards through an afro-futuristic airlock.

goddamn those are good

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 06:59 (fifteen years ago) link

I wish I could find a decent version of Hummer and Glorious on youtube. Those just destroy.
