Liner Notes: Kid Cudi "Make Her Say" (Trackademicks Remix)



When I'm at the Clubs, I never take my Heart/
The name of the game is Poke[H]er After Dark/
So many Spades lookin for my Diamonds/
Trynta take advantage of the position that I'm in/
Got a lot of Chips, so she wanna see my Hand/
All over her hips even though I aint her man/
See I got tricks and its all part of the plan/
Ace up my sleeve and a Straight in my pants/
Now its getting deeper, I better pull out/
She better keep quiet, I got a Full House/
Yo, I aint bluffin', girl you gotta Raise Me/
With game this good, I know you wanna Play Me/
See I need a Queen who's down to open up/
cause me I'm a King lookin for a Royal Flush/
And nope we done, even tho I Cashed my Chips/
Gettin' Hed in the whip and not Crashin it!


When I got my hands on the largely unavailable "Maker Her Say" acapella, I knew I had to do something different to it. The original was a real playful and lighthearted ode to "Brain Surgeons" everywhere, so I decided to do the complete opposite and bring out the "darker side" of the this contact sport...

In order to drive the point home, I decided to pay homage to one of the best songs about the topic ever made... Noreaga "Hed". I use to slap that album so much, so it only make sense to reference such an important influential piece of music...

Don't act like this don't POUND!!!
And don't act like I didn't GO IN !!!
Holler at a Scholar!!!
Bwahahahahaha!!!
YEEEEEE!!!!

Space Age Pimpin'


8Ball and MJG- "Space Age Pimpin'"

Contrary to popular belief, hip-hop's fascination with space came way before Kanye's Glow in the Dark stage show. This isn't the first one by far, but it was a formative piece of work for yours truly. Yes, I have always loved the smooth ish (I was probably the only one at my high school slappin' Anita Baker and SADE EVERYDAY), instrumentals more fit for the Bay's "Quiet Storm", KBLX, than hip-hop giant KMEL.

I still own this maxi-single (..."What's that", the 90's baby said) on CD. In fact, Honor Rollers Mike Baker the Bike Maker, Moxmore, and I used to freestyle over this during our infamous freestyle sessions. Yup, battle raps over sex music... You know how we do! LOL.
