The Exchange.008 | Where I’m From

samberesford:

This week’s edition of The Exchange bands together songs from our cohort’s respective hometowns. Or home-metropolitan areas. Or at least their home-states, I would hope. Please listen to it on Muxtape, or download it for your archives through Rapidshare. Agressive-ass, small typo-having cover first, tracklisting next, and my pre-listening commentary for each song follows:

Jen | Hip-Hop - Dead Prez
Panama | Kryptonite (I’m On It) - Purple Ribbon All-Stars
BK | Lifted - John Legend feat. J. Ivy
Sam | Heard It All Before - Sunshine Anderson
George | Don’t See Us - The Roots
Liz | Orange County Girl - Gwen Stefani
Eyejammy | Everyday (Rudebwoy) - Kardinal Offishall feat. Ray Robinson
Marcia | I’ll Bet You - Jackson 5
OJ | How to Survive in South Central - Ice Cube
Cye | Geen Verschil - U-Niq feat. Feis & Yootha
Ouxu | Insomnia - Pete Philly & Perquisite

• Dead Prez are from Florida?
• Kryptonite is about as great an Atlanta rap single as you’re gonna get in the last 10 years.
• Where the hell is John Legend from? Besides Threebuttonsopenonyourshirtville.
• Yeah, Sunshine Anderson is from Charlotte. I didn’t have a whole lot to work with.
• Classic Illadelph.
• Gwennie Gwen Gwen, let me know when you get rid of Gavin and I’m on the next thing smoking to LA. And I don’t mind playing stepdaddy to Kingston and whatever-your-other-kid’s-name-is.
• I’ve heard Toronto is bananas.
• Gary, Indiana is in the BUILDING!!!
• O’Shea Jackson is an American treasure.
• Huh? Looking forward to it though.
• Am I correct in assuming this guy is from Philly? Or maybe not at all?
  

Happy listening, homebwois and homegirls!
