The Ultimate Hype the Crowd Playlist

In college as a joke a myself and a few of my friends had an ongoing joke that certain songs were so wild that various bars in Bowling Green had banned them from being played due to that they caused riots/fights. Here is my collection of songs that will cause the sudden urge to break a bottle, spin a shirt around your head like a helicopter. These are the songs that the woman in the Kanye West song Slow Jamz was talking about taking a break from. The following songs combine a level of familarity with extreme bass and a fast tempo.

Raise Up- Petey Pablo



I've always joked that if you ever saw Petey Pablo in concert you would need to bring an extra t-shirt. I love this chorus and the associated dance of "take your shirt off/twist it around your hand/spin it like a helicopter"

Neva Eva- Trillville


This song is the embodiment of what this list is. The song Neva Eva evokes chaos at every note. I've only heard this song one time while at a bar and after the chorus played for the first time multiple dudes were shirtless and drinks were being thrown around in the air.

Break Ya Neck- Busta Rhymes


The combination of Busta Rhymes' fast paced lyrics and this beat make for a great song. I can remember hearing this song on the school bus and having no idea what Busta was saying but I knew I liked it.


Still Fly- Three 6 Mafia


This song was most people's introduction to Three 6 Mafia. The distorted chorus has a message that everyone can relate to "Gotta stay fly."


We Be Steady Mobbin'- Lil Wayne/Drake/Gucci Mane


This song came out of nowhere as I don't believe it was on an album or a mixtape. We Be Steady Mobbin' came out during peak Lil Wayne and the collaboration with Gucci Mane made me want a joint mixtape.

m.A.A.d. City- Kendrick Lamar


This is my favorite track on the instant classic album Good Kid Maad City. The drop at the start is crazy.

Welcome To ATL- Jermaine Dupri/Ludacris


One of the best hip hop beats to heavily rely on piano along with Tupac Ambitionz Az A Ridah and CREAM.

Grove St. Party- Waka Flocka Flame


In Bowling Green there's a Grove St. and I always wanted to live there so you could play the song above on repeat with extra meaning. There are numerous songs from Waka Flocka that could make this list but this song never gets old.

Knuck If You Buck- Crime Mob


This song was my alarm in the morning for a couple years and I woke up with relative ease each morning. 

Swag Surfin'- F.L.Y.


In my previous post I mentioned how this song gave birth to one of the best hip hop dances of recent memory. 


What songs did I miss?

Thanks for reading!

The Rise of Future Hendrix

Image
About five years ago a friend told me to download the Pulto mixtape by Future. I was familiar with him from the couple of singles he had but had never listened to a full mixtape/album of his. The mixtape was filled with numerous autotuned filled ballads as well as high-energy bangers. I enjoyed the majority of the songs and something about Future's energy was extremely infectious. Fast forward to two years ago and Future solidified himself as one of my favorite rappers. In the span of less than a year Future released five projects: Monster/Beast Mode/56 Nights/Dirty Sprite 2/What a Time to be Alive. The numerous hits and anthems that came were tremendous from March Madness to Thought It Was a Drought every hip hop fan knew every word. Fast forward to this week I was extremely excited to learn that Future would release two albums in one week. With little to no warning, Future dropped the self-titled album FUTURE. The album is high energy with catchy hooks and fast-paced beats

What's better I Need a Girl Part 1 or Part 2?

Image
In the year 2001 P Diddy released the two-part song I Need a Girl. Both songs have a clear distinct sound while being equally fire. Below I will do my best to articulate what separates the two parts of I Need a Girl and which is better. Part 1 P Diddy featuring Usher and Loon A slow pure r&b track with very little bass. Usher kills this song, he even sings over himself in the chorus. Part 2  P. Diddy featuring Loon, Ginuwine & Mario Winans For all you young kids out there this is what a true remix or part two looks like. Using the same theme/melody but flipping it to creating a new song. This part features more an of a hip hop vibe with verses and an r&B chorus. Who can forget Diddy's classic "take that, take that" What part of I Need a Girl is better? In my humble opinion, it has to be part 2. The combination of the bounce in the bass and melody drop will make anyone lose it. You also get what is most likely P Diddy's best l

Drake's Hidden Gems

Image
Aubrey Grahm aka Drizzy aka October's Very Own aka Drake is no doubt a superstar. He has transitioned from child actor to a rapper on Lil Wayne's Young Money label to an icon. His music has become anthems for months and he recently hosted SNL. With this level of popularity, it's hard to imagine his music being anything close to hidden but there are a lot of great songs from Drake you may have missed. I remember listening to Ransom feat. Lil Wayne in my 98 Jetta in 2008 as a Senior in high school via cassette adapter. I am going to try and introduced your or reintroduce you to some great Drake songs you may have glossed over or simply missed. Little Bit feat. Lykke Li Check out this chill love song featuring singer Lykke Li.  I'm Still Fly One of Drake's best early songs. Stuntin' feat Lil Wayne This is a song off of Lil Wayne's Dedication 3 when we didn't know much about Drake. Congratulations Drake does a verse over some Coldpa
