Listening statistics & highlights
It's an important part of hip-hop history and Walk This Way did quite a lot of things, but to me it's just alright. You Be Illin' is cheesy as hell and a little fun though. This was my first album with 1001 albums so I'm hoping there's more hip-hop and rap in the future.
It's coffee shop or local record store music, and I mean that in the best way. The only song I was familiar with before listening to the whole album was New York I Love You because of the music video with Kermit and the mashup with Miles Davis.
I don't know why I didn't expect there to be blues included in this, but I was pleasantly surprised by this. I'm trying to get more into jazz and blues this year and this was a great way to continue that goal. Tiger in Your Tank was great and so was both parts of Got My Mojo Working.
How did I go this long without listening to the original version of White Winter Hymnal. What the fuck. Anyways, this was nice and Sun It Rises was the other highlight of the album.
The Smiths aren’t my usual brand of 80’s alt/new wave but this was nice. Every time I listen to Gorillaz’s The Now Now my mom thinks it’s Morrissey and I think I get why.
