Though we are not musically inclined, music is still in our minds. I can't think of a day where I do not listen to at least 20 songs a day. Heck, one of the main reasons why 3GM ever came to existence is music. We use it to converse, to interpret, and to apply to our everyday lives. From the crush hit "El Scorcho -Weezer" to our mellow "Atonment -The Roots" to our mafioso steelo track "Verbal Intercourse -Raekwon ft Nas", music is our way of expressing moods & emotions. We are not prejudice towards music, in fact we are all over the map...from Ortega's rock & alternative knowledge and Mj and my rap & hiphop knowledge, we combine to create a diverse music library. Reason why I'm writing this blogpost is because my 4 hours spent on perfecting my 30gb ipod upgrade from my dinky 8gb, and realizing how much music knowledge I gained since meeting the other two members of 3GM. It's scary...sometimes I actually anticipate the lonely bus rides just to have some quiet time to kick back and listen to a good album or two.
I guess I'll start our first Top 10 Lists with...
1. "What They Do" -The Roots (Taking the path less traveled is key...that is why I "infinitly go against the grain".)
2. "Jammin" -Bob Marley (A simple yet meaningful song that's great to chill out and appreciate life to)
3. "Hello New World" -Clipse (My song of the future...as I embrace the good life...hopefully...)
4. "The Logical Song" -Supertramp (Questions the origin of your logic and what logic really is.)
5. "House of Cards" -Radiohead ( A great song that mellows me out and really makes me want to let loose and forget about my house of cards.)
6. "Can I Live" -Jay-z (Let the haters hate because I "rather live enormous than live dorment".)
7. "SpaceShip" -Kanye West ft. GLC & Consequence (Makes you face the reality that work suckin fucks but it does pay off sometimes..)
8. "Oh Momma" -Justin Nozuka (Brings a slight tear to my eye as I think about how important momma is to me)
9. "Uncertanties" -Matthew Santos (Speaks about uncertainties and the long road ahead...the world just seems so heavy)
10. "Otha Fish" -The Pharcyde (Great song to listen to if facing a post-breakup situation...does not apply to me but I'm sure I'd know what I'd be bumpin if it ever did.)
"...Through the baseline, I live through it/
Another expression of life, I couldn't live without it.." -Hi-Tek
