What song are you listening to right now?

Had been interested in listening to R.A. the rugged man's "Night of the Bloody Apes" for some time, and finally got around to it. This was my first time listening to him and i wasn't sure what to expect, but i was pleasantly surprised. The dude can spit and the beats were on point! With that said, he's also a little... out there, to say the least on some of these tracks. Sometimes it fits and sounds good other times not so much in my opinion. His voice can be a little hard to take, as he ryhmes in a sort of animated half drunk voice through out the album. That coupled with the tracks being mixed horribly because the album was never actually released, so THE AUDIO IS TRULY AWFUL, were the only negatives. Other than that i would say this was pretty solid.

Selected listening







And of course the infamous "**** Renaissance"

 
To co-sign with what illphill mentioned... I know he retired in the 90s & kinda went into seclusion, but I thought it was curious that nothing was mentioned about him in Spike Lee's MJ Off The Wall doc...

RIP Rod Temperton! :frown: Wrote so many songs that were the soundtrack to my childhood & introduction to music...


Temperton died in London last week at the age of 66 after "a brief aggressive battle with cancer", Jon Platt of Warner/Chappell music publishing said.

In the early 80s, Rod wrote hits for many of Quincy Jones production projects, including George Benson ("Give me the Night" and "Love x Love"), Brothers Johnson ("Stomp") and Patti Austin ("Baby, Come to Me"). He then penned three more songs for Michael Jackson's follow-up album, Thriller, including the title track. The LP went on to smash all sales records, selling in excess of 70 million copies. The song "Thriller" began life as "Starlight," and the famous Vincent Price rap was written by Rod in the back of a cab on the way to the studio. Temperton followed with compositions for a number of A-List stars, including Aretha Franklin, Herbie Hancock, Michael McDonald, Patti Austin, Donna Summer, James Ingram, and many more (here is a list of his major compsitions)
