"the making of a great compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do and takes ages longer than it might seem. you gotta kick off with a killer, to grab attention. then you got to take it up a notch, but you don't wanna blow your wad, so then you got to cool it off a notch. there are a lot of rules. anyway... i've started to make a tape... in my head... for laura. full of stuff she likes. full of stuff that makes her happy. for the first time i can sort of see how that is done."
-Rob Gordonsomeone said mixtapes are the new albums. & this mixtape is giving me an eargasm. im really diggin it. HerFavoriteColo(u)r is the latest project recently dropped by Blu. if you havent heard of Blu, now you have. he's a west coast mc making his presence known. he put this mixtape together infusing a sort of jazz feel w/a twist on spoken word, in the form of intertwining movie quotes over the music (lines from Closer, Buffalo 66 & Paris Je'Taime to name a few). smooth beats & a smooth flow. i'll stop talking him up now & let his lyrical style win you over. i feel like making a mixtape now. old school style w/my 2 deck cassette player. this keeps me company on my solo drives.
