I dont know what to really call it but its the feeling you get from a song that makes you think, reminisce, get goose bumps, knod your head, or maybe just get the feeling that nothin can ruin your day. To me those songs are the ones where you can see the artist intensions right through the music. Where the song has substance and a culture behind it. Not like radio music where its just do this and do that and you get this and that.
Name Off a Few Songs in here where you get up when you down, or calm down when you hot, just something to get you into a positive move...
List.....
Mine are...
1. Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth - T.R.O.Y.
2. Juggaknots - Clear Blue Skys
3. PUTS - The Breakdown
4. Thes One - Noonen - This song made my stop playing Halo 2 and waking up at noon (literally) to play again. I now wake up at 7 take my bro to skool make breakfast then go dig for some records, then go to skool.
- That day i woke up at 7 i went diggin and found the cadddyshack record, what a trip
