We all have needs right? I mean sometimes you just need start dancing like a retard when no one's looking and you've been stuck at work for seven fuckin' hours, right? Or sometimes we have a need to find the dirtiest grimy gangsta rap track and attempt to blow out our speakers on our way somewhere where we know we'll have to act like a respectable citizen.
So I present to you this trill track from Ahmi, entitled just as such "Needs". It's a track that fills my personal needs for alternative beats; for you see I need at least one track a week to listen to that doesn't sound like every other hip-hop track or else my eqars will glue shut and my eye-balls will boil inside themselves. So much thanks to Ahmi for providing me with my weekly sustenance and much love to all you guys ^__^
Happy New Year, almost....
With a lot of tracks I end up hearing, I tend to fall into the trap of categorizing the song into parts I like and parts I didn't. I think a lot of us do that most of the time when we're listening to music; we'll say things like "the bass on that is dope" or "I like the second drop better" and so on.
But the interesting thing about a lot of TST tracks lately is that it's very hard to separate them into different fields of positive and negative; you just kind of end up listening to the song through and then make-up your mind as a whole at the end. I'm not sure whether it's because of the collaborative nature or the ambient feel that most of their recent stuff has held; but their songs flow in a way that's quite hard to put your finger on.
On this track "Insanity" this is especially the case; sweeping pads and lush vocals fill up your headphones with sonic audio-porn until you're sort of left speechless and just sit back to take it all in. When I've shown this track to friends in the car or on my ipod they've had basically the same reaction; a glazed look over their eyes, and when it's over they try a few times to describe what the track sounded like to them before simply giving up and saying something in the vein of "it's trill man..." or "that was pretty dope dude..."
