Hidden Gems

Another reason to love Pandora is the hidden gems they uncover.  There's so much good music out there that I continually miss, and Pandora points this out to me.  My first major discovery was a super early Kanye West and Consequence spitting over A Tribe Called Quest's "Electric Relaxation".  They just call their version "Electric" and it was like finding gold.  I now joke went online and playedit for everyone I saw for a week, being like, "have you heard this before?!?!".    Here's a link to the youtube in case you have not.

Early Kanye and Consequence

Well the another hidden gem unveiled itself this morning.  While listening to the Girl Talk station a Method Man song entitled "Say" came on.  It has this great guitar intro, but even better was the female voice in the intro belonging to none other than Lauryn Hill.  I think if you've read this blog before it's clear that I have a real obsession with Lauryn Hill and the lack of material out there.  I also love Method Man, partially because he's Cheese from the wire, and partially because he's awesome.  I feel like he sometimes be the butt of hip hop jokes, but Wu-Tang was a great group with a funny name.  I'm so excited to have "Say" in my collection now. Check it out...
