It's been a minute since I've felt this with a new song, but that bassline in Snoop's "Crazy" (ft Nate Dogg - prod by Fred Wreck)....I swear that shit just washes over me and puts a smile on my face from the first second. I've been stressed lately over some local DJ night bullshit and I swear...having this song on repeat has most definitely helped my outlook.(Doesn't hurt that it comes right after Frequency's DOPE ass track!)http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=0659D62F2CC51011Herm

EXACTLY what I was thinking and EXACTLY where I was when I first heard it. I had that "head bob that would be classified as a dance had it not been for the fact that you can't really shuffle your feet while driving" move going on with a BIG ASS GRIN on my face. Waving to the other cars like life is good.

always gives me one of those happy Office Space moments...
"she had brown sugar all over her boogawooga"
Even though the vocals at the end get hella strained and dramatic, Daylight is one of my top ten songs I ever got addicted to.
How can a beat so sentimental be so spacey and progged out? I put it there with Ooh Child...

Solomon Burke- Gotta get you off of my mind
Al Green- Guilty
Bobby Womack- Fly Me To The Moon
Dayton "The Sound Of Music"

that "winter sadness" sample is
Four Tops - California Dreaming
Frank Zappa - Twenty Small Cigars
