Gunnerz Paradize Mixtape Pt. 1
Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2012 2:04 am
Whatup blood? As a PSA, I am revealing the ONE guaranteed secret to doing well in LS. It's all about the playlist, y'all. And it's all pretty much got to be hip hop from the '90s. Classic rock is for 3Ls chilling on the greens with a Heinie. Indie rock is for MFA students. The ONLY way to do well is to listen to this bunker mentality boom bap. Lurking 0Ls have the best opportunity to profit from this amazing secret, but even if you are already in school, you can still learn a trick or two from these phenomenal artists.
1. Master P Bout it Bout it Pt. 2. There is really only ONE question: You bout it? I mean, you bout it bout it? If you got to ask what bout it is, you ain't. Now I know it's not always easy to be bout it. Sometimes you want to sleep in. Sometimes you want to run for SBA cause you think it'll be "fun." But that ain't bout it.
2. Gangstarr, Work. Guru is going to be like your OCS advisor except far, far more competent. "I'm doing my thing now to lamp later on, paid in the shade with some fly gators on. But now I'm grimy as they get mud on my pants and shirt...bet you gunnaz out there know, I be putting in work!" Good advice for ITE, y'all.
3. Drake, Uptown. JK! Listen to Drake if you're aiming for B-s and tears on your exams.
4. N.O.R.E., Grimey. Sometimes you got to get your hands dirty. I used to be in the school's basement lab typing up outlines getting my fingernails all dirtied up with public dust and such cause I was using the school provided Dells and their grimy keyboard. I had the top flight Mac Book Air, too. But 1) I hate Word for macs 2) Getting grimey builds character.
5. Black Moon, How Many Emcees. If you got any chance at doing well, at some point you're going to start feeling frustrated during class. Prof. is about to lay out some weird policy point that you know will be like a huge lever for your outlines, allowing you to bust that exam wide open. Then some little monsterish looking kid sticks up his hand, preempting Prof. Kingsley with a reflection on Roman law. Everyone's pissed, prof. loses his train of thought, and you never get that point.... Solution: Make your own chopped and screwed version of this track, pitched down as low as you like, listen on replay, and just imagine Buckshot confronting that kid in some alley in Bushwick.
6. Co-Flow, Funcrusher (the whole album, tho "Population Control" might be the go-to). Lots of hard to follow phrases that sound self-important with a background drone of dystopia & angst. Pretty much your theme song.
6. Young Jeezy, We Can Play the Game. This is good for when you get cold-called. It really puts you in the driver's seat to sort of mumble "you playing with a dog...someone gonna die...cause real gunnaz talk...where the fuck u goin hide" as you flip around looking for the Factz of the Caze.
7. Dr. Dre feat. Snoop Dogg, Deep Cover. I'm putting this one as substantive review for y'all crim students. Spot how many conspiracies and attempted murder charges y'all can find. P.S. raise entrapment as a defense, if you can!
8. Jay-Z, Only a Customer. Dude, school sux. There are two ways to get through it: 1) Make friends and take your life outside of school more seriously than your academics. This is the way of failure. 2) Analogize LS to something more exciting, like the crack game (there's probably some bros who choose "war" instead and do real well listening to nu-metal all semester, pretending they are in Iraq or something, but thats not me). Honestly rap is mainly about capitalism, drug sales is as well, and goddamn LS is all about it too. Thats how come you're paying so damn much...it's unsustainable, but damn, you're here, better get your while you can! Plus, it's not hard to see the parallels. "They thumb through the source while I read the Robb Report." Shit, you'll be reading "One View of the Cathedral" while "they" thumb through Gilbert's Property Outline. Takeaway: Look down on your classmates.
9. Whatever corporate bullshit is getting play on the radio at the moment. Listen to this at The Party you go to this semester.
10. Mobb-Deep, Shook Ones Part 2. Listen to this right before you take your exams.
11. M.O.P, Cold as Ice. Listen to this as you take the exams. It's hyped up, it will keep you focused and adrenaline charged. Put it on repeat. Alt: Big Pun, Dream Shatterer.
Thanks for listening! Stay tuned for Pt. 2.
