Rumble in the Jungle

This has been a work-in-progress so that's why it's late, I kept getting distracted by distracting stuff (such as getting back on my cellular grind, basketball, cleaning, you know, the regular stuff) and I also kept fucking up (excuse my english) (oh new catchphrase alert!) the mix by like randomly scratching by accident or something (there's a tiny mess-up in this one too, actually there's two, but they're little and I'm too lazy to fix them).
So here it is, after the long wait...
In honor of the Sigma Chi Fraternity Pledge Party "Rumble in the Jungle: Deep Within the Bush", an exclusive Tay Today Jungle Mix made up of the most exotic sounds known to man (or a good amount of them).
I prefer this one much more than the HalloWeakEnd Mix, and I think there are some really good parts! Let me know what you think, improvements, stuff you liked, etc. Same deal with commenting as before, you can always just comment anonymously.
Without further ado (except you'll have to scroll past my fascinating flyer),

This was my first attempt at making a flyer, needless to say, another more legit looking one got chosen for the event haha.
(Haha see what I did with the name there! I'm a man of many names, so mysterious. But about the song, I like a lot of parts, I'm happy with a good amount, I think the "Animal" mix came out decently, or has potential, and I really like the two songs that come after Panther (Marvul Remix) - that's the song with "Animal", I'm not going to tell you much else because that could spoil it. Also, the ending makes sense because the song is called "Turn Down the Lights" and it's the end.. I thought it was clever)

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)

My good friend Keiji aka Cage the Menace asked me to do a music video dedicated post.
So this post is ill videos that I haven't already posted (for the most part) with the songs for download
(except for a couple ones because they're cool videos, but not the best songs, or necessarily about the song - as with Muto by Blu)

Videos With Downloads!
(Not as good as the "Sweet Smoke" video, but still a great video, and the song is good too!
Thanks to my main man and compatriot member of Titty Team, Tom the Cajole, for showing us Mr.Scruff, Kid Koala - his solo work since we've all heard him with the Gorillaz, and Lemon Jelly)

(Love this video and song, as do most people, it's quite a piel of fun!) - misspell on purpose

(Kinda creepy video but very cool nonetheless, dope song too)

(Yes, Kid Koala is the king, we know now)

(Great song and great video, I saved the best for the last two downloadable songs! This and "Cherry" are classics)

(I shouldn't even have to say anything. "Cherry" has been the anthem of the crew and partly our grade the sen10rs for the whole year, since UN day specifically when my friends S.H.I.T.C.U.N.T. (Sugar Honey Iced Tea and The Creamy Universal Noodle Team) played their version. The video is great and the song is great too, obviously)

Cool Videos
Shadows - Wagon Christ
(Ill fucking robots yo, saw this video on MTV Arabia when chilling in Barcelona)
Techno Printer
(This is fucking sick, my friend Max showed it to me and it's just too dope not to post, it's a real printer jam)

Muto - Blu
(This is one of my favorite videos, really sick stop motion graffiti video, check it out. It's the one video that's really not about the song at all)
