Best Song In The World

This is surrrriously the best song in the world right now. There is no doubt about it. A Great cover to an already classic Raphael Saadiq track.

From www.likeathrottleblogspot.com

This is all Cosmo Baker's fault. I mean, I've always loved Saadiq going back to the TTT days, but hearing Cosmo's mix of his work really put it all in perspective. Raphael Saadiq is a genius. Period. Just listen and you'll see. From Tony! Toni! Tone! & Stevie Wonder to Q-Tip & DJ Quik, he is just that dude.

So, without jumping further on his nuts...fast forward a couple days later and I'm driving around town bumping this CD. "Still Ray" came on and stayed on and that's when I knew I had to re-do it (now I know how Dre must've felt).
I came home and listened to it, figured out the piano part and played everything else from there. Once I was finished I called my man Miles Bonny to lay down vocals and trumpet like only he can and here it is, free for you.

The Raphael Delaghetto Namesake Part Dos

3 posts in one evening. What can I say? I'm kinda geeked about having a blog.
I wanted to bless you all with some of my favorite random tracks from the blogs namesake. Sorry guys you might have to copy and past the links into your broswer. But don't fear i'm gonna learn this blog game soon.

First I bring you former Toni Toni Tone front man and the Bay Area's own RAPHAEL Saadiq.

This was automatically me and my girls cut as soon as we heard it. Cj's vocals are super buttery warm and it's a wrap when Raphael introduces Stevie to play on 'HIS ALBUM' ala Dizzy playing on Stevie's Do I Do. It was a great surprise, having again just seen Raphael live but not knowing who CJ was, to see that he is Raphael's back up singer and upcoming artist.

Next is my second favorite rap group ever, DE LA Soul. All Dave and Pos do is the chorus and ask some questions. The rhyme is all a kid named Jeff.
Get familiar
"I have a curfew she says to me,
I'll take you home
look hun you'll see" -Jeff

Lastly I don't have a favorite artist, group,movie,book,restaurant,comic book, coloring book, manual,hat,shirt or anything called GHETTO. So I'll leave you all with that other rap song about the ghetto.
