Some may sound very familiar, most however are pretty obscure, unless you are seriously into Hip Hop and or into the beat collecting scene. This playlist runs the gamut of the musical spectrum. Pop, Disco, R&B, Soul, Jazz, Reggae, Dubstep, Electronica, etc.. Somehow these various genres blend together to form the soundtrack of hip hop in 2012.

One of my current favorite artists. His early work in Hip Hop left plenty to be desired, however, over the last few years, Gambino has honed his skills as a writer and performer and continues to display a mastery of the English language with his metaphoric gymnastics across each track. Whether rhyming about his knack for Asian women, or opining on the current state of Hip Hop, where everything is copy and paste, he relishes the fact that he's 'different', not being able to fully fit in with his white or black friends. What stands out to me even more than his lyrical skill, is his ability behind the boards, or computer in his case. The melodic hooks and ambient grooves quickly penetrate your ears and by the time he hits that occasional falsetto, you'll already be fully engaged. Whether or not Donald, AKA Childish Gambino wants to take a shot at being a full time Hip Hop artist remains to be seen. I'm satisfied with an occasional mixtape every now and again. He's far too talented to put all his egg into one basket.

A day where men and women show their love for one another by presenting gestures of said love. Flowers, chocolate candies, intimate apparel, or whatever, some gesture is needed, or it will not be forgotten. I myself prefer to come up with a sexy mix of sensual music, a bottle of her favorite spirit, a babysitter...and it's on. With that said, and rather awkwardly, I present my Cupid's Hunt 2012 contribution. A mix of classic sexy ballads that have all been sampled at one time or another. Some you'll know right away, while others may make you wonder, "Where the hell have I heard that beat before?" Happy Valentine's Day! Hope you enjoy.

His brilliant yet sometimes cryptic narrative, can leave either little, or everything to the imagination. His bold and brash stories of hood life, or love life, has had us all saying to ourselves, what the Hell did he just say?! One of the original founding members of the Hip-Hop group Wu-Tang Clan, Ghost has ventured out on his own to be regarded by many to be one of the top 50 MC’s of all time. With ten solo releases to his credit, and almost as many compilation and collabo’s, the Wallabe Champ continues to give true Hip-Hop heads that undeniable Wu flavor we’ve all come to love. Ghostface is known to use soul samples in most of his songs, so this was one of my favorite sessions to put together. Having sampled hundreds of classic and underground soul tunes, I could make this a three part series. We’ll see if that happens, but for now I hope you enjoy this ‘sampling’, if you will, of the soulful stylings of Ghostface Killah, AKA, Pretty Tony, AKA, Tony Starks, AKA Ghostdini, AKA The Wallabe Champ. “It’s not old, if it’s new to you” ~ GrantLOVE Tommy Youngblood – Tobacco Road [sampled on 'Intro to Pretty Toney Album'] Jimmy Van & Richard Hieronymus – I Weigh With Kilos [sampled on 'Kilo'] Fazo-O – Riding High [sampled on 'Killa Lipstick'] Esther Williams – Last Night Changed It All [sampled on 'Last Night'] Dr. Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band – Cher Chez La Femme [sampled on 'Cherchez LaGhost'] Dr. Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band – Sunshower [sampled on 'Ghost Shower'] Willie Hutch – Baby, Come Home [sampled on 'Back Like That (Remix)'] Luther Ingram – To The Other Man [sampled on 'Whip You With a Strap'] The Delfonics – The Look Of Love [sampled on 'R.A.G.U.'] Al Wilson – Fallin’ in Love With You [sampled on 'Toney Sigel A.K.A. the Barrel Brothers'] Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson – Superman Lover [sampled on 'Supa GFK'] Bob James – Nautilus [sampled on 'Daytona 500'] Metal Fingers – Fenugreek [sampled on '9 Milli Bros'] ESG – UFO [sampled on 'Charlie Brown'] Melvin Bliss – Synthetic Substitution [sampled on 'Kilo'] O.V.
