Crookers Colors

Just realized I have a paper due tomorrow.. Good determination artist? Crookers.
A new song of theirs, and an old song of theirs, just to keep the balance:

(The New Song: It's good, it's catchy, not too techno sounding, a break from the usual Crookers eat your face off with good techno sound)

(The Old Song: This song is a classic, heard it at Terminal 5 on October 10th and will never forget it, an epic fucking track, the build up and the drop are befit of Zeus' speaker system)

Bye Bye

It's been amazing to have been graced with such a great group of friends for most of my high school experience, and leaving to college has really put this entire stage of my life into perspective.
I should be coming back to New York fairly frequently in the coming year, so the biggest blow is the thought of not being able to see some of my friends that are going to be far away for such a long time. Names that come to my head are Max (my Norwegian instructor, fellow bear roller, fellow roller, guy who fucking rolls the way I roll in a hood way), Ian (triangle = all i need to say), and Lizzy (who forms thizzy with me, similar to Gotenks' formation or some shit). I'm expecting to see everyone else more often than I see those three in this coming year so it's a hard parting to make.
Basically,
I'm going to college and I'm going to miss my friends alot because we are a crew and a family, and this post is dedicated to every crew song we've been on, and maybe you'll learn a bit of our flavor by listening and downloading.
(I wrote this before finding out I can go to electric zoo and reunite with these mofuckas so soon, yee boiii!)

...I just realized, I don't know how to make descriptions for these songs, they're all so great, so you should just know that before listening, this is close to an entire group of friends' playlist for their years of friendship. That's sick shit.

The post is organized by genre, but each song is organized by date in each genre, so the oldest songs are at the top.

Rap
Barcelona '10
(This is an original classic, maybe the original classic. Everybody but the gremlin lady aka Kimbo in the picture above knows the lyrics perfectly, and we all knew it separately. It is a seriously dope song, no lie, no lie.)

(Mercer Street, H6, Boysenberry Cougars. This shit is too legit)

(Merker Street, H dot seis dot, put you in a case dot. Classic track. Cass da bomb!)

Chelsea's Backyard '08
(Oh shit, this song is poppin', really, it is)

Lizzy's '09
(A classic, emphasizes our crew's way of life when our crew's way of life is chillin 40in and bluntin, but we smoke Js mostly, get at us. Summer Ale and a J, you know our steelo)

(Another classic, but these are all classics. Who doesn't love this song? The crew does and did and we all know the words basically, it's fly, an anthem)

Central Park '10
(May not be B-Boy stances, but that is legit city Varsity fresh right there. Oh, and I told you, I can't really describe these songs, they're all just too good. This one is one of my personal favorites, so sick)

(Ah, not much else to say, just play it, and then we can all trip together! Fuck black salad)

Paris '10
(Another anthem, how catchy is that shit! Very catchy, I already know. It was a rhetorical question)

(You got the crew flu? Come and let the crew woo you. Good song but everyone knows that already. Props to Sherlz for showin' the Bean video)

Cava's '10
(A Thizzy favorite, love this song, you should too. Dope beat and dope punchlines, it's almost all punchlines too)

Waterside '09 or some shit
(This song makes everyone feel good, especially Mattia in the picture above. Oh no.
"Bitch I feel good, don't I look stupendous!")

Jammin' Shit
Crack Den '10
(This is just a classic song for any and every crew, or it should be)

UNIS '10, I think, maybe '09
(Yes, we all went on stage and sang this song with our friends S.H.I.T.C.U.N.T. when they performed it in school. Yes it is that much of a great song, became the anthem of our grade after being the anthem of our crew)

(This was the co-anthem at the same time as "Dreaming of You", except this stayed mostly within the crew, it's a GREAT song)

Berlin '10
(WE DON'T GET SLEEPY! Great song but most people know that, we just knew it before)

(Another really important crew song, wow I sense a theme amongst these. It's a great song and you should check it out and download it, I promise you'll like it)

(Good song. I love my friends, thas all imma say)

(Great song, this was basically our night's coming down song of summer 09, blasting it downstairs while chilling around the table, times I can't forget)

Senior Page, You Jealous! '10
(This is THE Tri/_\ngle song, Triangle song. Good song but more of a personal attachment, had to post it)

(Dope song, was into it towards the end of last year and til' who knows when, dope dope, dopity dope. The beginning is great)

(More recent crew song, but we all love it.)

Techno
Lou's Roof, '10
(THE SONG. This is what started us into techno. Basically.)

(The Other Song! This was the co-anthem when we were listening to "Love to Edit", we had some good times with these)

(This is an October 10th song that Crookers played, but it's not dubstep so I'm keeping it here. Great song, the 2nd drop is grimy)

Casa Sala, Summer '09
(Crew approved, Crewproved)

(The main build up and drop is too grimy, the amount of times we got pumped and hype to this song is uncountable, cause we can't remember... BUT IT WAS MAD TIMES)

Midtown, '10 or '09
(The whistle drop is a killer. Titty Team Track, showed by Tom)

(Oh this is too sick. Who couldn't love the throwback McDonald's commercial remix)

(Classic song... Psych. It's a classic crew approved funny video! And pretty catchy song, remix here)

Lizzy's, '09/'08/'10? Who the fuck knows
(Recent crew song. The instant party starter. Ravemen approved)

(Eurotrip special dedication. But whole crew digs it, new shit, good shit)

October 10th - Dubstep
Why We Go Harder Than You, Until Now
(we still probably go harder, but you can step up your game with these songs)
UNIS, Post Oct. 10th 2009, You pitieddd
(The original dubstep track in my opinion, whole crew loves and loved it, it started our dubstep craze, and Tom since he showed the genre to us)

(...Just listen to the opening words and you'll know why it goes hard, great song)

(I can't even describe "Apples", perfect dubstep track, CMON YALL!)

Terminal 5, October 10th 2009, yes!
(The lighter funner side of dubstep, a killer song)

(One of our original favorites, important song for dubstep, great song for everyone)

the Cave of the Caveman, '09
(One of the catchiest songs ever, and a grimy dubstep track too, no way! YES WAY)

(october10thoctober10thoctober10thoctober10th. Jack Beats killed it and this song kills it, after we heard it live, it became a classic)

(Just as "Drop the Pressure", "Get Down" shook our little younger bodies when we heard it live and then it became a classic for us)

Casa Sala, '09
(When I first heard this song, I thing a part of me may have died and gone to music heaven. Instantly turned into a crew favorite, and anyone who heard it, even who didn't like dubstep, liked it)

(One day I'll explain the full story behind this song, but it's such a good dirty motherfucking song that we actually have an ENTIRE story behind it. I'll give you a hint: Robots, war, survival, chainsaws, yeah)

(So sick.)

(Such a fly song, absolutely adore it! Ya! No but really, a crew lock)

Chill
Senior Retreat, Central Park, 2010
(The chillest, best, most beautiful song)

UNIS, UN Day
(S.H.I.T.C.U.N.T. played it at school and had the whole school shivering, it's one of the most important crew songs ever, easily)

(Beautiful beautiful song, we even loved it while pregaming for parties or dances. It's sick)

(No competition for what I think to be the best oldschool song, Fats Waller kills it, crew lovez)

Family Gathering, Lou's Roof, '10
(Super duper song)

(It's actually called "Breathe" but the file name on Itunes will be "Breath" because for some reason "Breathe" wasn't working when I uploaded.. Just to explain. It's fly shit, chill shit)

(The best version of this song, really great song. Norway!)

Senior Retreat, '09
(My morning alarm, it's a great song, Ravemen Approved, shown to me by Caveman)

(I LOVE THIS SONG. I really do. And so does the rest of the crew)

(Great song, we've all really enjoyed it)

Home, Always
(Home is with these guys, and some others who aren't in our grade)

Back on my Grind

Admittedly I've been slacking these past couple days in my posting, due to business of schedule, lack of my computer at hand, and lack of space on my computer, quite difficult stuff...
But I'm back and so is the music!

Today I finally caught up on all the music I've been missing out of on two of the sites I use, which are RCRDLBL, and Big 10 House Mafia and therefore this is going to be quite a long post as I post a large amount of new stuff.

Indie/Rock/Chill
(Florence and the Machine is getting big, and this remix shows off the vocals of a catchy song, sometimes simple is better)

(This song is about succumbing to technological distractions and losing the personal touch, if you play this though, you'll display delicate personal taste)

(This is an epic and driven song, I'm feeling it, it also makes me even more excited that I'm seeing Tokyo Police Club and Passion Pit (yes!) on the 30th at Governor's Island)

(I mean, the only problem with this song, since it's well done and catchy as hell, is that, well, I hope I'm not a loser, tough singalong for the somewhat self respecting) (Kidding, it's dope)

(At midnight, they will jug your nauts until you no longer display any vital signs. Also, this song is pretty good)

(I heard it and fell in love, this song is cute and sweet and all together neat. Yeah I said that. It makes missing everything seem like something to smile about, and makes me hopeful to have that outlook when I'm off to school and miss my homeland)

This video is great in my opinion, and now I'm a fan of Hey Champ, with two songs posted below for your listening pleasure. Watch the video, I hope you like big boobies.
(Sorry if the big boobies thing mislead you, you're supposed to read this after watching video by the way, for you non-sequential people. Good song.)

(Another good song, I really can't say much about them, they're just catchy, bouncy, happy songs)

Hip-Hop
I'm not sure if you know it, but Derrick Comedy is a hilarious group that does youtube videos and recently made a movie called "Mystery Team"(which I saw and thoroughly enjoyed). This is all relevant, as is the video posted above, because the Spelling Bee host, Donald Glover, is also Childish Gambino, the rapper of this next song. One of my favorite videos, great performance by him in the skit, and then a surprisingly good track by him, some lines are sick.

("Why these motherfuckers think they wakin up in pain? Cause they sleepin on the hardest nigga in this game" daaamn, and "I don't make it rain, I bring the heatstorm nigga, Weezy F is in jail, I keep his seat warm nigga" makes sense, he sounds like weezy)

(Not on the Drake bandwagon, but I gotta give props to this song, sounds fresh and real)

(Mickey Factz on the dry bumpin' beat, some nice lyrics and that chill flow, play it)

(I shouldn't even have to say much, the Cool Kids do them and most people know it, this song is another chill bumper, let it rock, and let your head nod)

(J.Cole is a newcomer but he's on point with a bunch of his songs, more to come definitely, but this is the one I downloaded today so this is the one you're getting for now, my dude is lyrically gifted)

Bonus: Artist Spotlight!

(I just love that logo)
Donnis isn't amazing, he's not the best rapper out or even notable compared to some of the new guys, but, he is new and he is on the rise, so here are two of his songs that are pretty fresh, "More Fire" is definitely the best of the two, it's hot, no pun intended.

Dance/Hype
(What he's feeling, will have you feeling, as in this track is quite feelable, you know? Nice drops nice vocal looping and everything)

(I still waaaant you more than ever, it's catchy, just listen, and it's groovy too!)

(This is one tight track, not much to complain about here, just nice pump up music that makes you wanna dance and party, the right kind of stuff. Just wait for it to hit you at 0:44)

(Not a fan of Katy Perry, not so much a fan of this song, but I'm sure this remix is better than the original, not to stir up any unease, it's just because it's easier to play with techno! Duh!)

(Love might even be elevated by summer happiness vibes, so feel this, you should at least like it, maybe not love, I'm not sure if I like it that much as a stand alone track.)

(This is catchy shit, like damn, Crookers are sick and one of the illest groups out, and this remix does them justice by keeping up the level of dope)

Bonus!: Ravemen Stamp of Approval
C'mon, it's a remix of September by Earth, Wind, & Fire, how could it not be a classic.
(This is my shit, I give this the Ravemen stamp of approval cause this is some catchy shit and everyone loves catchy shit, especially if it makes you feel like you're in an old movie)

Pretty long post, just play it and enjoy, download or whatever. Also, follow the blog if you want to be kept updated on new posts. Yeah!
