Haha! Is this meant for me? I'd be lucky to afford a pack of gum the way my finances are right now.

lol probably... i dunno what ur expecting me to say, "call me a male model again and i'll fucking kill you"? i mean ur info is somewhat dated but i guess that's no surprise

― rtcotm (mwah), Monday, 6 March 2006 19:33 (twenty years ago)

take it outside, ladies

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 6 March 2006 19:35 (twenty years ago)

oh, I see. Never mind.

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Monday, 6 March 2006 19:36 (twenty years ago)

trackademicks dude is cool, but honestly kinda boring. there's just no surprise. there's really no comparing him and sa ra though.

i did like the e40 beat better than the original.

― team jaxon (jaxon), Monday, 6 March 2006 19:37 (twenty years ago)

ah ok well i can't say i heard a full sa-ra tape anyway but what i heard the few times they came on radio was fairly offensive tbh

there's that myspace, http://www.myspace.com/trackademicks i'm out

― rtcotm (mwah), Monday, 6 March 2006 19:40 (twenty years ago)

Hailing from Alameda, an island located off the coast of Oakland, CA, Trackademicks makes music driven by the same philosophy that made him; mix it up. Born to a Filipino father from the Bay Area and a Black mother from Richmond, VA, his cultural diversity inherently translates itself into the music. “Like California Cuisine, I take ingredients and influences from all over to add to our local tastes and create something appealing to everyone.”

So he's like the Alice Waters of 2006 R&B?

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Monday, 6 March 2006 19:44 (twenty years ago)

Only if relys on fresh locally grown samplers and mixing desks.

sa ra is greatness, but it's what i call "fancy trainer" music. like all that benji-b-ified stuff, it requires serious glad rags. you've gotta fancy yourself up to listen to it...i love it, but i don't have the cash to buy the lifestyle.

― cybele (cybele), Monday, 6 March 2006 19:56 (twenty years ago)

oh, and i second the love for ppp and up you an omar. new record's coming out soon...i'm very very excited.

jaxon likes it!

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Monday, 6 March 2006 20:02 (twenty years ago)

is jaxon fancy?

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 6 March 2006 20:03 (twenty years ago)

i dress like a hobo fwiw

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 6 March 2006 20:03 (twenty years ago)

me too

it's sad when you realize you don't even have the budget to look indie ! (you know, if you actually wanted to).

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Monday, 6 March 2006 20:04 (twenty years ago)

Jaxon strikes me as someone who has one or two pairs of fancy trainers in his industrial living space.

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Monday, 6 March 2006 20:05 (twenty years ago)

Of course I shouldn't presume.

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Monday, 6 March 2006 20:05 (twenty years ago)

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 (twenty years ago)

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.

― Andy_K (Andy_K), Monday, 6 March 2006 20:07 (twenty years ago)

This thread is going weird.

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

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)

x-post

― Andy_K (Andy_K), Monday, 6 March 2006 20:10 (twenty years ago)

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

― Andy_K (Andy_K), Monday, 6 March 2006 20:12 (twenty years ago)

And maybe some CDRs (CDR-ahs).

― Andy_K (Andy_K), Monday, 6 March 2006 20:13 (twenty years ago)

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

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 6 March 2006 20:16 (twenty years ago)

THEY DON'T?

;)

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Monday, 6 March 2006 20:19 (twenty years ago)

hey--i'm in the market for some new fancy triners. my kangaroos are way to 2004.

― cybele (cybele), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 17:32 (twenty years ago)

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 (twenty years ago)

unfortunately that's all true

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

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

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

yeah I don't hear that either.

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

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 (twenty years ago)

all slsk folders containing sa-ra tend to confirm this

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

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 (nineteen years ago)

it's about time, yes

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

hmmm

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

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 (nineteen years ago)

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 (nineteen years ago)

Strongo otm.

― The Reverend, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 19:26 (nineteen years ago)

Who is mad amped?

HOOS is mad amped.

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

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.
