Microphone Mathematics

Figured I’d try to combine 2 in 1 today – artists and titles. You not only get two dope samples but also the catchy post title combining the two songs titles and then when you combine the two artists who used the samples – you get Blackstar (Hold the applause). This shit oughta be on Jeopardy.

In all seriousness these are two sick tracks! The Fela and Nina tunes both clock in at over 10 minutes a pop and are both phenomenal. If you don’t have any Nina Simone or Fela Kuti in your music arsenal – then GO GET SOME.
