Noisy Mime's Track of the day: The World's Greatest!

I'm too hyped about this to say much... So just listen and let me know what you think.

Reminiscent of the good old days...

Leaders of the New School (Part 1)

There are quite a few new rappers and singers that are cultivating a fan base that just can't be ignored. I've put together my list of some new acts that I feel have a very promising career ahead. Enjoy xx

Childish Gambino

Childish Gambino: Fun Fact: he got his name from one of those Wu tang Clan Name Generator things. I tried it out... I wasn't as fortunate. I got such names as : Amateur Overlord and Jive Talkin'ChoirBOY! So needless to say, Donald Glover was, on that merit alone, going to have a pretty sick rap career. I love him and how bitter he can be. I love his punchlines, his flow and his creativity. He's definitely a leader of the new school because his approach is somewhat different to what is out there. It's young, it's raw and it gives a spin on even the most tired out rap topic. Definitely worth the listen if you're not already a fan (really? you're not a fan?)

Kendrick Lamar

First time I heard Kendrick was when I downloaded his 2010 mixtape (O)verly (D)edicated. I didn't really know what to expect, I hadn't heard of him before that. My friend told me to and I obliged but I'm so glad I did. The first song I heard on it was Alien Girl and I was and still am very much in love with it. He actually had about 3 mixtapes before that but as with most- it took a few tries to garner the attention. Kendrick's next release; Section 80 is by far one of the best of 2011 and I don't care what anyone has to say about that! It is just that good- bite me if you think otherwise... Or you know, download Section 80 and bite your tongue!!!

The Weeknd

He is probably the most mainstream of all my entries and that's probably thanks to Aubrey 'slide down a rainbow of oestrogen' Graham aka Drake. LOL sorry I couldn't resist, Ghostface described him as that on his blog and I thought it was absolutely hilarious! Meanwhile, October's Very Own, The Weeknd is killing it right now. His creative approach to his music makes it hard for him to be ignored. I'm definitely a fan of some of his work. He's just released the video for The Knowing which everyone on my facebook is raving about. he's definitely going to be around for a while I reckon.

Frank Ocean

Nostalgia/Ultra did what it was supposed to do! It made sure everyone paid attention to Frank Ocean. Such a simplistic album, void of all the usual brouha that has poisoned r&b of late. No, Frank decided to strip his music of all the theatrics and just sing. His songwriting skills are impeccable. His voice, though not as strong as say, Gerald Levert, has a quality to it that gives it a modesty a certain dose of humility that makes his songs so believable and quite frankly is a breath of fresh air in an industry where the louder your voice goes the better it is considered- sometimes!. I could listen to him all day and sometimes I do. I really hope he doesn't change for the industry, he strikes me as one who may negotiate but never fully leave this formula that has created such a buzz around him- hopefully!

A Graceful Piece of Liveable Art...

For most of us, we envision our adult lives as an ideal. Ideally by the time I'm 30, I want to be worth x amount, possess certain things and be able to reflect on my life with satisfaction and pride. Even though it is said that if you want to make God laugh, make plans, I feel that when one's energy and hard work are focused on making these things happen, they do... Eventually.

I enjoy looking at luxury residential architecture because I feel like it serves as some kind of vision board. I admire the images, the creativity and the craftsmanship but I also view it as a possibility. So here are a few images that serve as a form of inspiration for where I could be in a few years. :) xx

Shell bathtub by Bagno Sasso 

Great architecture has a way of invoking a sense of want in it's admirer... You look at a photo of a model home and somehow you're calculating how possible it would be to live in a place like that and when you think, realistically, that could happen and just like that, you're creating a vision board without even knowing. Surely, that's not just me. Lol.

Tron Legacy - The Soundtrack

Clear sign that this is about to be a silly addiction: I was just in the middle of watching Tron Legacy for the billionth time and I decided Daft Punk deserved an entire post dedicated to their musical genius! The first time I watched Tron with my brother and my cousin, I don't think I paid attention to the actual story. I was too busy being absolutely mesmerised by the beauty of the accompanying soundtrack. 

For a compilation released by Disney I must say it was FILTHY! In a good way... Such dopeness! A term that's hardly ever associated with Disney. I got hold of the soundtrack just before my 1st Semester exams in 2011 and I honestly found it very difficult to concentrate with it blaring from my headphones but that didn't stop me. I listened to Rinzler and the Game Has Changed so many times that revision became such an adventure in my head. 

        Rinzler!

I could go on and on but I shan't! Instead here are my top 3 songs from Tron Legacy Soundtrack, composed by the ULTIMATE duo; Daft Punk!

The Grid

The Game Has Changed

Rinzler!!! Top Choice! try walking home to this song at night! See if you don't turn something that mundane into an action sequence! Shiiiii !
