Timmy Thomas – Why Can’t We Live Together ( on iTunes )

All last week, the song was stuck in my head and I couldn’t figure out the reason …. Then I realized why…

Sade remade this song, on the “Diamond Life” Album…

Sade – “Why Can’t We Live Together ” (on Amazon )

and Andre 3000 sampled the intro drum loop on the song, “Pink & Blue” from  the “Speakerboxxx/The Love Below” Album…

Andre 3000 / Outkast – “Pink & Blue” ( on Amazon )

Classic Material from classic artists.

“People in the Chinese province of Guangxi who’re on the lookout for a unique dining experience, can now head on over to a new restaurant where meals are cooked by robot chefs.

The “I Robot” restaurant has bought two robots from a Shenzen-based technology company for more than £50,000.

The manager says his robot chefs can make hundreds of traditional Chinese dishes, each of which takes just two or three minutes.

He says the robot chefs are more efficient and hygienic. And they don’t complain.

Hundreds of recipes have been stored in the databases of the computers which control the robots’ movements.

However, the robots still need human assistant to help them prepare the ingredients, like washing and chopping the vegetables.”

well its not exactly what you may be thinking… As a producer / music fan / sound advocate… I can sit in total quiet and hear loud music playing in my head on a regular basis.

And out-of-the-blue…. today’s tune was produced by Kanye West…The beat was so dope, at the end,  Kanye had to keep it for himself.. LOL

The Original Boost Mobile Anthem by Kanye, Ludacris and the Game

And after that one… I flashed back a few years to TWO of the other stand outs of the 90′s…

Notorius B.I.G. – St. Ides Commercial (ironically over the NY, NY Beat)

Wu-Tang Clan – St. Ides Commercial

What are your favorites?

man.. the bassline & drums on here are dope.

I started thinking about how influential his music was across the board… Rap, R&B, Soul, Pop…. it didn’t matter, his music affected and shaped the sounds we know today… And nothing illustrates this  fact better than this picture I found on Flickr today… Check it out.
