Wale the album about nothing spotify

Wale the album about nothing spotify free#

Still, it's a minor complaint as The Album About Nothing is bigger, bolder, and better than expected. Package all this weighty material with Jerry, George, and Elaine in the mix and the album is a creative triumph, but although Wale's got so much to say, he often says it over the same tempo, and if it weren't for "The Girls on Drugs" (rescued from another Seinfeld-themed mixtape, Festivus) and a couple other kicking moments, the musical spectrum here would be narrow.

What’s more, Wale has accumulated over 7 million monthly listeners on Spotify and has reached over half a billion channel views on YouTube. Listen free to Wale Mixtape About Nothing. Cole tackles race relations and suggests that feeling flossy and/or stoned is just a temporary distraction from the bad news across society, then "The Middle Finger" gets at the helplessness of depression as it rattles off all of the rapper's problems and then drops F-bombs and "Leave me alone" as its chorus. Wale continues to break ground with the release of 2019’s critically-acclaimed Wow That’s Crazy, which includes 1 single On Chill featuring Jeremih. A routine about relationships ("When you get engaged it's like starting on the roller coaster.") inspires "The Matrimony" with special guest Usher, but the Jerry device is used as needed, and this ironically titled effort is heavy with Wale's own hopes, dreams, and disappointments, including dealing with a recent pregnancy, then miscarriage. Seinfeld guides listeners through the story and sometimes his routines or thoughts inspire the songs, including the key poetic track "The Helium Balloon," where flying free and high becomes a metaphor for talent. Andres Tardio Wale’s The Album About Nothing, one of this year’s most anticipated rap albums, was released late Monday night (March 30) and the MC celebrated the project with a. It's a fame so huge that Jerry Seinfeld is actually Wale's friend now, and while the sitcom star was sampled for the 2008 mixtape, he narrates this album. It worked better the first time, but much has changed for Wale in the seven years leading up to The Album About Nothing, meaning a rekindled, quirky idea like this could put his fame at risk. Listen to The Mixtape About Nothing online and get recommendations on similar music. Playing off the ideas and structure of his 2008 mixtape The Mixtape About Nothing, rapper Wale's fourth studio album uses the television sitcom Seinfeld as the framework for an introspective and autobiographical effort, and as odd as that sounds, this is the second time it has worked. Read the The Mixtape About Nothing wiki, detailing its background, how it features in Wale's career, and its style.

Feeling better tonight

It was a long day. I got to work at 4:45 a.m. I got home at 9:00 p.m.

I cried again this morning....cause, that’s my thing I guess? :)

Between crying sessions I moved a meeting from Friday to next Monday. I would have spent time tomorrow prepping for this meeting. I immediately felt relieved.

I was prepared for conferences.

12 appointment times. Originally 9 appointments. Before tonight I knew 3 of those 9 had to reschedule. Of the 6 remaining, I conferenced with 3 families.

I typically would be disappointed with such a low turnout. But you know what? I think God knew that I needed a slower night. So really, it worked out. (I will, of course, attempt to reschedule those that were unable to participate tonight).

It’s a little after 10. I told my sub I was going to try to have my plans to her by tonight. I emailed her a little bit ago and said, “They’ll be ready tomorrow morning.” She’s amazing and wonderful and at our school a lot and I totally trust her. So I’m going to try REALLY hard to leave less detailed plans than I normally would.

Speaking of plans: I went into my Google Docs to make a copy of last year’s sub plans to edit.

Um, there are no sub plans. I didn’t take one day off last year.

This is my 13th year of teaching.

I have taken days off for doctor’s appointments, being out of town/travel, and for being too physically sick to work.

I have NEVER taken a mental health/personal day.

Never. Ever. In 13+ years.

I really would like to make this a monthly thing.

Earlier I was trying to think about what I wanted to do tomorrow. My first thought was, “Oh! You should deliver flowers to your friends at their jobs!”

I’ve done this a couple time before.

Yes, it’s nice and fun and it feels good.

But it also takes a lot of time....driving across town to buy the flowers (I will only buy flowers at Trader Joe’s), decide who gets what, write a little note, decide on the most efficient route, and of course delivery/driving time.

Ok. So no flower delivery tomorrow.

Next I thought, “Oh! FINALLY write notes to your team so you can give them the little gift you bought for them during the FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL.”

Um, probably not.

Next idea, “Send cards to ____, ____, ____, and on and on.” Send that package to _____ and mail those things to _____ and ____. Oh! Don’t forget to mail that package to _____, too.”

I might do some of that.

I began to notice a trend....all of these things were doing things FOR other people.

Yes, it’s nice and fun and it feels good.

BUT....I need to stop constantly doing things for other people. I need to stop the constant feeling/believe that “you need to do things for other people...all the things...and right now! You need to show (and tell) them that you care! Support your friends! Encourage them!”

So, I’m not sure what I’m going to do tomorrow. I might do SOME snail mail tomorrow, but not all of the things.

In no particular order, I might:

take a candlelit bubble bath.

clean out the fridge and pantry

go to the grocery store

CALL THE PLACE THAT SETS UP MY SLEEP STUDY.

Drink the wine I bought last weekend.

Sit outside

Go for a walk

Put laundry away

Clean my house (ok, those last 2 don’t sound great. But getting those things done - especially the cleaning - would make me feel better)

Get lunch from my favorite restaurant

Nap. More than once if I want to.

Listen to Hamilton. And the Mixtape.

cut/arrange the flowers I bought on FRIDAY. They are still in the little plastic wrap thing.

I will do whatever the fuck I want - whatever will best take care of ME... whatever will bring me joy.

Things are looking up. I’m still so tired....all the time. But I no longer feel like I’m spiraling into a dark place.

Good night, friends.

LVLSRVRYHI-054: Hunni'd Jaws

Introductions first: for anyone who doesn't know, who are you / where are you from? Yo yo, thanks for having me - I’m Hunni’d Jaws. I'm a solar eclipse personified. I moisturize. Facts: Coconut oil is not what it’s cracked up to be, if you want the hook-up on emollients DM me...on some off the record ish. My latest conspiracy is that I'm immortal.

From New York, exiled in Berlin, I mean “based”. How does "On exile" sound? Like I’m on chic sabbatical for being a leftist multi-national expatriate. Although, ya gotta strive for "arbitrarily-detained" these days, for the social media credentials.

What music did you grow up listening to? I grew up whittling didgeridoos. On the real, there’s a rogue didgeridoo in the house I grew up in. I have no clue how it got there. No one knows how to really “play” it, we’ve all tried. If my folks got it at a flea market, I’ll be a livid that my parents are just hoarders, and that Carlo Santana’s 3rd cousin didn’t loan it to us.

I’m so thankful for access to radio like Hot 97 and NYC. Nineties pop music was an animal. Dance-pop, grunge, dancehall, alt-rock, RnB, hip hop, trip-hop, the OG list goes on. I’m nostalgic for the pop hits, from Ace of Bass to No Doubt.

Mix cds were essential living. My street punk older sister got me into punk music and concert-going, starting at places like the Chance in Poughkeepsie. Thusly train-ing to NYC was compulsory. SO former self getting signatures on my cons. I grew up technically too far to be a bridge-and-tunnel though. “Bridge-and-tunnel" is slang for someone who takes one of the bridges and/or tunnels to get to NYC by car. Bridge-and-tunnels get on the Metro-north around White Plains with vodka Coolatas and clog up the Midtown club scene.

My folks played jazz, on special holidays merengue, 60s funk, reggae some 80s pop - cuz they’re into that - oh and a lot radio monotonous news coverage, tonally so nauseating that they smell like plastic factory fumes. Afro-caribbean & latin music were solace, since I’m half dominican. My uncle was more current, and played lots of new wave, punk, or like fat boy slim and beastie boys for us. We ransacked his computer once when we finally got cd burner software.

I also was heavily into indie rock, post-punk and random hip hop or the genre one-offs, like Hold You Down by the Alchemist, I found. Finding music was everything. I wrote about UK experimental & indie music for my HS newspaper - no one cared. My younger sister got me into A Tribe, Madvillian and J Dilla. Shout out to Nora for keeping me updated on hip hop mixtapes throughout the 2000s. And in college I veered towards indie music and electronic.

I'm cutting myself off, we should pick up the conversation here for the next interview. We can highlight more cringe-worthy pleasures that did not age well and my descent into grime and club, and how I’m still an angsty tropical riotgrrl haha.

One of my earliest musical memories was going to this wedding in 1997 and dancing to radio garage house tracks - what we called techno. Recently, I had a dance floor epiphany at Monarch Club in Berlin. Soda Plains played a garage track I hadn’t heard since that era, maybe that occasion. I made a note of the lyrics, found it later, and binged on it for like a week. This is my mentality.

My first introduction to you as a DJ came via Call Dibs, the show you run with Dis Fig on Berlin Community Radio, so I wanted to get an idea as to how the show first came about and what the motivations were behind starting it together. How did the two of you start to put things together? Yeah before Call Dibs, before deejaying, I was a head in NYC. Fel - Dis Fig - and I met then, kicking it many dawns.

Fast forward, in Berlin we saw a vacancy for our musical focus on BCR - whose programming we admired and were acquainted with. It fell into place. We decided to do this plan b, instead of becoming tech-house legends.

Going through the show's archive is like reading a who's who of upcoming djs over the past few years and it's pretty impressive how on top of it the two of you have been. How do you decide on which guests to reach out to? Do you have any dream picks? Thanks! We follow music, convene on that, take turns hosting monthly, and plan logistical. There's been several artists, I heard one track of theirs and decided to ask them. I was lucky they were down. It's insanely cut-throat. There's usually a rose award ceremony and sacrifice.

No "dream picks", I’d like to work with so many people, especially unique gem artists. I'm interested in new, small, unique voices and showcasing challenging fun sounds.. The cult of celebrity dominates booking, the scene and the industry. At the same time, we don't obscurity hunt. The process is organic, why dilute it?

From what I can gather (correct me if I've got this backwards), you moved from New York to Berlin not too long before the BCR show first started. Do the two cities mean different things for you musically? Did anything change for you in that vein after making the move? Yeah definitely! I lived in NYC for a couple summers during school, then moved to Brooklyn after college for 3ish years. New York is it’s mix of cultures and hustle. There are so many micro-communities doing amazing things. It is a pace, hip-hop, outspoken, loud - the majority of new dembow in my mix, I heard blaring out of cars, at restaurants, and in cabs while visiting over in early June. Even just 2 years ago, Bushwick was not what it is now, or Crown Heights even. I grew up in the music communities in NY through Jelly NYC, Tribes, bass warehouse parties like Reconstrvct and DIY venues like 285 Kent, and lived with the Teklife extension. Ballroom, dancehall, jersey club, and footwork were foundational w/ parties like Ghettogothik, Lit City, S!ck Magic, Mixpak, among others. With all this stacked against a city, there's so much synchronicity, like Dubbel Dutch playing an arcade entirely word of mouth, or mythic rooftop parties w/ lineups of whoever is in town not playing officially in the city. Or heads from around the country, turn out to see acts on a Monday night in Meatpacking district. It’s a constant struggle and everything is bought out. I have a deep bond there, the music community has a different appreciation and gratefulness for each other. People dance. I’m idealizing hxc. It all took bites, I got bored, and was looking to contribute.

I shifted gears, and moved to Berlin, to party less. Hahah. Techno goth, crust punk aura, the gay club scene, and deejaying/producer culture are indisputably mainstream. The leftfield club scene is compact w/ Janus, PAN, Trade, Creamcake, Boo Hoo, among others. There’s a core DJ and music producer community here that inspires me, albeit, a catch-22, is insular. There’s more funding, clubs are seen as institutions. It’s still Germany. It’s much more modest, introverted, and chill. The sound is usually spot on. Flights are cheap. It’s more white, whiter than the Midwest.

If you can sort housing, it’s a refuge for creativity because of work/life balance.

You're also involved with a few programs based around teaching dj skills to women and those within the lgbtq+ spectrum in No Shade and Intersessions. What interested you about these programs? What was it like for you personally when you first learnt to DJ? Was there anything similar out there at the time? Who wants a world w/ the same people, the same cliques, in control throwing the same parties, of similar perspectives, w/ the same mega brands curating, playing the same music? Sign me up if I'm a mega-brand.

I didn’t choose to be half black, a woman, or femme, so I def take advantage of the opportunities given to me. And I'm aware I'm somewhat priveleged. I have a lot of friends who also want to organize and pass the torch. My core ethics are merging human rights, creativity, and access empowerment. I was also involved in the Co-Op compilation w/ Ziur, galvanized to counter the tension and rise of global alt-right movements.

When I first learned to DJ, it was a necessity to socializing. And when I got more serious about it, I had to teach myself. Getting comfortable at the club and tech-literacy was another blind-fold. I’ve had to dj with equipment I've never used before - wish these moments were filmed cuz I went too hard on myself. There were some people to help me but not really. I also had several feminist social groups to help with the visibility of women in NYC, our goals were more about solidarity and the safety of women at parties.

I co-founded No Shade alongside Linnea and Caramel Mafia in association with Acud Macht. The DJ tutoring program aspect gives the participants more security and time with industry standard equipment. They can ask questions, and they are learning from women and non-binary folk. Blasphemy!

Links between music and therapy come up a lot on your social feeds and, though it's not really something I've put a lot of thought into understanding, I often find myself relying on music to clear my mood or help me move past something that's frustrating or aggravating me. Do those ideas ever inform the sets you put together or the music you listen to? That’s sick that you found a personal correlation. Music as therapy vs. music therapy vs. sound therapy vs. vibration therapy vs. however we define music and therapy has an abundance of operational levels. On your experiential level, it’s great for emotional awareness, resonance, letting out stress, etc.

It can be deeply triggering yet cathartic too. It’s tied very close to memory. People with degenerative neurological diseases can get pieces of their identity and abilities back when listening to their old records, or happiness. In other mysteries, if you suffer a major head injury you can miraculously become a musically-creative, perfect-pitch savant. Still so much is unknown in the regard to cognitive neuroscience, music and healthcare. This is Your Brain on Music by Daniel J. Levitin and Musciophilia by Oliver Sacks expand on this.

The club is an undeniable conduit, escape. A good sound bath from a sound system will reset you. Cymatically, it manifests your physical matter. Certain chord progressions and frequencies will awaken certain feelings. Certain rhythms make you rotate your hip joints, certain vibrations catapult you to an astral plane, ASMR and whiteness soothes and entrances. I’m rambling. It’s personal, it’s human, it’s spooky, it's cyborg. There’s loads of sound phenomena to explore.

The tradition of it in the psych world is very “koombayah”, which led me away from the narrow conventional sense of it. However, there are however strides towards incorporating rap into the psychotherapy application. The history of oration down to modern rap is rooted in the "music game over the streets" to narrate the struggle. Poets from West Africa brought oration traditions over to communicate their highest spiritual being. The command of it is called Nommos. As a practice it's so very suitable for the clinical experience. Therapeutic Uses of Rap & Hip Hop by Susan Hadley discusses this, maybe overintellectualizes it, but it’s an important platitude to introduce formally to the white-coat community. I may go back to school for it, so I can dispute and defend the way. I wish I had proper exposure to composition as a kid. I was more interested in learning tabs so I could steeze on covers.

There’s truth deeper and universal, beyond niche music that privileged perspectives get to admire, be bewildered by and entertain with. It's orthodox. It seems the people involved don't consider how esoteric and self-centered this chokehold of participation is, like subjective tunnel-vision ; music culture is full of circumstance, value judgements, media infrastructure, markets, and industry. Who has access? What is contingent? and Why? What does this all mean in 5-10 years?

You seem to take a playful, lighthearted, but also semi-theatrical approach towards your moniker and press shots (covering yourself in honey, planning to do the same but with bees), which is refreshing and in stark contrast to the ultra serious DJ look (black tee, dark background, lots of shadow, plsdon'tsmile). Was that something you consciously set out to achieve? Wow, thanks for noticing! Deejaying is full of bad baaaad tropes. Shout out Kurupt FM for being as played out as possible. Satire, critiques, and creating new information are important to me but it's more unconscious and involuntary. Music gets all bent out on being serious, then plays into trends and lacks originality.

I treat creating under hunnid jaws as a full multi-medium, creative universe. My press shots were fun. They feel so old, they're from a past life at this point. The series are under themes of objectification, erotica, and sex culture paradigms mirroring a literal interpretation of my pseudonym. The general idea was around for 2 years before it came together with my homegirl Syd who's in Rotterdam now. The actual process felt like I was suffocating and stung my eyes, basically honey-board torture. I'm sitting on a lot of weird ideas and bizarre influences. Just takes one or two sentences for an idea to be a good one. I'm excited to use them when I have more content and collaborators. I'd love to art direct for others. And to do more video. Or something extrasensory.

Did you set out with a particular idea for this mix? Where / how did you record it? I recorded it in my room on my pioneer ddj-sb controller. No set intention but this mix is a missing cut from a film reel, like a glimpse into my flashback. Disorienting like a horror flick being played in reverse.

What do you have planned for the rest of 2017? Conjuring up some gigs and beats. Ya tu sabes.

If you had to pick something for people to listen to immediately after this mix what would it be? If you can hold out, listen to Call Dibs this Thursday 6-8pm CET.

With over 15 years of broadcasting experience in major markets like Los Angeles, Philly and Japan I’ve learned that kids love content made for them and by them, and now millions of kids all around the world ages 3 to 12 will have a streaming Radio and Television platform that they can call their own as well as submit original music and videos for consideration to be aired. Parents can send their kid’s original songs and music videos to [email protected] for consideration. Next Kids Worldwide® will also be releasing a Holiday Mixtape featuring new soon to be classic Holiday Songs called “Jingle Beats Volume 1”. Kids can also submit original Holiday Themed Music and Videos for consideration. Not to be confused with Kidz Bop, the Next Kids Worldwide® Mixtape will feature original songs & videos made by kids for kids. Listen Live right now at: https://mytuner-radio.com/radio/next-kids-worldwide-456244/ music is the soundtrack of family life and Next Kids Worldwide® hand selects the music and videos that air on our network so parents do not have to worry about a computer randomly choosing the next song that plays which may introduce your kid to content meant for adults. Parents also do not have to worry about paying monthly subscription fees because Next Kids Worldwide® is absolutely free to everyone with no commercials whatsoever. Our tagline is “Strive For Excellence” and we also give free Next Kids Entertainment & Edutainment Workshops for families with kids who want to break into the music/entertainment business in communities nationwide. To date we have given out over 400 Laptop Computers and other prizes to kids who have great grades, but their family may not have the finances to buy a computer during our 30 city tours in under served neighborhoods because we at Next Kids Worldwide always believe in giving back to communities nationwide for over 15 years. We are also currently negotiating multiple deals for NEXT KIDS WORLDWIDE® Global Merchandising including a Next Kids Clothing Line, Kids Sneakers, Next Kids Record Label, Toy Line, Next Kids Worldwide®Awards Show, Bluetooth Headphones, Breakfast Cereal, Snack Foods Line and Hip Hop Soda Pop” Say’s Greene. We urge parents & kids to help spread the word by sharing our link on TIK TOK, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat & other social media sites. Generation Alpha (children born after 2011) does not sit in front of a TV set anymore, they stream all of their entertainment on mobile devices by millions of views and Next Kids Worldwide® will be the commercial free digital destination for kids and families worldwide. With a keen eye for spotting talent, setting up over 200 meetings in Hollywood for talent and being called the Walt Disney of Hip Hop by reporters, Tim Greene will seek out bona fide performers and Kid Influencers for the YouTube Generation. Next Kids Worldwide® talent will also star and act in short films to help keep their viewing audience engaged and entertained. “Getting major inspiration from Tyler Perry opening his massive “Tyler Perry Studios”, Oprah Winfrey launching the “Oprah Winfrey Network” and Ava DuVernay launching her own independent film distribution company “ARRAY”, I thought to myself why not use new technology integration to reach well over a billion underserved kids around the world with fun filled short themed entertainment where they can not only watch the stars, but really have a chance to be a star” Says Greene.

Whelp… guess who the fuck is back.

(It's me. I’m back.)

I had wanted to do these all last year, but my brain was still recovering from being used as a punching back all the end of 2022 (I’ve said it before, but I was teaching 3 classes, and the workload of all of them together was like asking to be buried in things to grade. I had to drop one of my dnd games so I had the extra four hours on a Sunday, it was horrible.)

So… to get back into making a playlist for each month, I’m starting by retreading Love is a Warm Raygun; the first one I did. I still listen to that one a lot lol.

Because that one was inspired by Bad Love and had two Key songs and two Ateez songs, this one was inspired by Cyberpunk and has two Ateez Songs and two Dreamcatcher songs.

So, that means more synthy, poppy goodness!

PS: Mild warnings for Pixy - Moonlight and Milkblood - Run Thru Me, because the MVs have logo sounds at the beginning/a sketch at the end and they're kind of startling/annoying. Mild content warning for the Tanerélle - Continuum video, as she’s in a bikini dancing in a little bit of a sexy way (it's age restricted, but I didn't want to use an upload from not her since I want her to get the views. You'll just have to go to yt and watch it, I guess 🙄). I was trying to just use album uploads for everything, but none of these songs didn’t had them 🙄🙄.

Here’s the tracklist:

Silver Light - ATEEZ Can’t Stop Falling In Love - WOLFCUB Higher feat. Lost Boy - MYRNE Visions - So Below Stream of Consciousness - Sølv Continuum - Tanerélle Sleep-walking - Dreamcatcher Moonlight - PIXY Cyberpunk - ATEEZ Judgement - Kensuke Ushio Silent Night - Dreamcatcher

(I might do another playlist of instrumentals I found while looking for songs for this. I found SO many but I wanted songs with words-- at least mostly.)

Also, I love how I wanted these to be Monthly Monday Mixtapes again, and I'm updating this on Tuesday 🙄🙄🙄 great start lol.

New Year's post: 2016 Recap and 2017 GM4A Schedule

via Game Music 4 All

I've been writing about this music for over ten years now, and it has actually become more difficult to describe the incredible variety of video game inspired music I cover on this site. The best I can say is that I, genoboost, your humble host, fucking love this music. I've heard so much great music throughout 2016. Such incredible tunes make it easy to humbly plug away on this site, sharing my favorite albums with like minded game music lovers.

First, I have to thank the game music fans and readers that continue to check out this site and all things genoboost! Thank you to the artists, of course, who create and share their work online for us all to find and enjoy. Thank you all immensely for over ten years of support! Meeting and interacting with so many amazing fans, artists, and generally cool folks has always made this endeavor incomparably more fun and interesting!

I've heard it's a good idea to look back on previous accomplishments before tackling new ones, and this is also a good way to prepare you for what to expect from Game Music 4 All in 2017.

During 2016 I took on a lot more than simply writing a few sentences about good albums. I invested much more of my time in creating better podcasts and videos. This lead to me sitting in front of the camera for the first time on YouTube for a new series of video album reviews. It also meant a record number of episodes for the SUBCON podcast, which will break 50 episodes in 2017. I've even begun to write lengthy video game articles again! 2016 will be the year I finally sorted out my thoughts on classic games like Legend of Zelda, Castlevania, and more.

You might think all these new endeavors would take away from the original VGM spirit of this blog. Hell no. I'm still going to be sharing two great video game based albums every week!

Let's take a look at some stats this year!

Some accomplishments in 2016

Blogged about 100+ VGM albums! (Which means I listened to well over 100 albums in 2016 as well!)

Wrote six retro game articles in the last couple months of 2016. (This felt paltry at first, then I realized these six articles amount to almost 15 thousand words of nostalgia.)

Wrote, recorded, and edited 20 new episodes of the SUBCON podcast

Published 28 new videos on the GM4A Youtube page

Recorded and edited 21 episodes of The Bystanders Podcast

I wanted to become more active on social media, and chose Twitter as my social outlet. I don't have an easy way to know how many tweets I made in 2016, but I do know I said something at least once every day!

Let's just take a second to bask in these previous accomplishments…

That's enough basking now!

I've got a lot of goals for Game Music 4 All in this year 2017. Not only do I have goals though, but also a plan, a plan with a schedule. So now you can rest easy, knowing precisely when your favorite content of mine gets posted to the site.

2017 Monthly Schedule

First Monday - SUBCON mixtape

Second Monday - YouTube Video

Third Monday - Feature Length Retro Game Article

Every Tuesday & Thursday - VGM Album Post

Every other Wednesday - SUBCON Podcast

Final Friday - Live Twitch Stream

Every other Saturday - The Bystanders Podcast

This doesn't include everything I'm planning to do this year. If all goes according to plan, there will be a constant stream of various audio, visual, and written content! I hope you're ready for another exciting year for myself and for video game music!

You tell 'em Daisy.
