#115: The King of Very Specific Vibes
He is I and I am him
MUSIC THINGS:
I’m digging through everything that came out since March 2020 because I truly haven’t been paying attention due to *waves arms around* all of THIS. In the meantime, here’s some playlists for your weekend enjoyment from me, the King of Very Specific Vibes:
Scenario: You need to take a shower and want something to listen to. You smoke weed.
Playlist: STONED IN THE SHOWER
Scenario: You enjoy the Cool Men’s Boutique playlist and wonder what kind of playlist I’d make if I owned a Cool but Overpriced Sushi Fusion Restaurant.
Playlist: Cool but Overpriced Sushi Fusion Restaurant. Grab yourself a $22 spicy tuna roll and vibe OUT.
My great friend — and fellow Carnage Crew member— Mike McGee has been producing the This Week In Jams playlist for years now and truly inspired me to get into the playlist game. Follow this one if you use Spotify, 300+ subscribers can’t be wrong!
For next week, I’m working on a playlist featuring the best crew/record label crew tracks that don’t feature the main member in the crew or featured artist on the label. This will be the first song on it. Everybody kills their verse but if you’ve ever wanted to hear Gunplay outrap Meek Mill, Wale AND Stalley on the same track, here it is:
Apple Music/Tidal people: I’m hearing that a lot of you are feeling left out of my weekly playlists, so I’ve started porting a few over to your respective platforms:
Apple Music:
Songs You Forgot from the 90s/2000s
Tidal:
Here’s Every Song From Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
