Blue Slide Park

Aye, power is finally back in the 860. So it's time to give you all a new post, the big story today is, of course,  Blue Slide Park. So how could I not post about it? Mac Miller released his first album today and it already reached number 1 on iTunes. All the hype has been worth it, the only complaint I really have is that all the best songs were released before the album even dropped! Besides that Blue Slide Park is DOPE. And you all have to go and check it out, download it off iTunes to support Mac.

Matt Scully- Average College Kid

I've been slacking on my posting lately and I saw this and I knew I had to get back on my grind. Matt Scully is one of my old friends back from my high school summer days in the OS. I don't know how he did it but he managed to make a surprisingly catchy song with some REAL lyrics. This song just describes my college life, along with most of you other bros lives in the college scene. Peep it, you wont be disappointed.

Machine Gun Kelly

This rapper from Cleveland has been creating buzz in the Hip-Hop industry. As of late, he's been signed to P-Diddy's label "Bad Boy Records". His mixtape "Lace Up" has been creating lots of talk on Datpiff.com. His delivery is normally at a blistering pace, but MGK can slow it down for a few tracks and spit fire. This rapper should definitely have your attention because, he's climbing up extremely fast and will be a force to be reckoned with. Check him out on BET's "Cypher" as well as his mixtapes.

August Coupe- Out of Town

Ever been in love with someone who might not be in your group of people? Well August Coupe can tell you all about it in this track. Great song, my own wish is that turned up the vocals a little bit, but the background track can hold its own. Don't blame me if "I'm in love with someone out of town" is stuck in your head for a while. Check out "Out of Town" by August Coupe out, I'm feeling it, real catchy.

Chris Cab- Pumped Up Kicks

So I have another Pumped Up Kicks Remix for all of you, and this one is a must listen to. I have always really enjoyed Chris Cab's music he puts out, and in this case I like his version more than the original. It has that crisp real sound to it, if that makes any sense at all. But like I said, you need to listen to this one because I promise you're going to be feeling it. Enjoy.

Lungu Lungu (Nobody Moves Remix)

So who is starting to miss summer now that the cold weather is starting to head in? Well I got something to remind you of the days when life was easier, and you could sleep till 1 in the afternoon. "Lungu Lungu" is a dubstep remix to "Lungulugungu" by Jumo Daddy & FOKN Bois, I attached the link if you want to check it out. I really like when dubstep is mixed with a chiller song, check it out "Lungu Lungu" by Nobody Moves.

Some Hope For Old-School

Rap has become more glamorous since the days of N.W.A and Wu-Tang clan. Now-a-days anyone with money and a cool beat is destined for a hit. Old-school rap is coming back through the underground. What do I mean by this? BET is hosting "the cypher" which is an all-out freestyle over simple beats, and nothing is off-limits. It's the best way to show your stuff and throw some punches at other rappers. And no....these aren't no-name rappers. Names like: Kanye West, Eminem, Yelawolf, Big Sean, Mos Def and Jay-Z (just to name a few) are all throwing down at the cypher. Check it out:

Babes and, Monkeys?

So you remember growing up and learning in school how humans are supposed to be more intelligent than any other species on earth? Well according to this picture, that might not be the case. Seems this monkey has us all figured out. In one picture he has successfully demonstrated what is on a males mind 90% of the time. Way to be monkey, way to be.

Jupiter Unison (3LAU Bootleg)

Word, my week is pretty much over and I have the perfect song for the occasion. Need a good pregame song? Well I gotchu. Came across this track on FratBeats, and I'm loving it. The video just about matches the song in greatness, the kind of life every college kid wish they had. Well the song a mashup of a few tracks, and they flow perfectly together. I'll put the list of the original music under the video. Before checking those out though, take a listen and see what you're thinking about "Dallask and Porter Robinson - Jupiter Unison (3LAU Bootleg)".

Adele vs. Skrillex

Most of the songs on my Top 25 on my iPod are mashups, so when I say I'm excited about this one, I mean it. Two polar opposite artist were brought together, Adele and Skrillex. Skrillex with his song "Kill Everybody" and Adele with "Set Fire to the Rain", together are the perfect combination to make this dope mashup. Check it out,  "Set Fire to Everybody".

I Want to be Tough

So me being a scrawny white guy, I've always wondered how I could appear to be a little tougher. Well thanks to the magic of StumbleUpon, I've finally come up with the solution, I'm getting a Rabbit. No not a bunny, because that would just be stupid. I'm getting a Rabbit, maybe I can look a little more like this guy. I mean, I wouldn't fux wid him. #scrawnywhiteguyproblems

Brenton Duvall- Phone Rings Goodbye

My posting has been weak as of lately, being in the middle of exams has made it difficult, so I'd like to apologize. But I'm going to make it up to you all by giving you this little gem. This is the first time TCSwag has had a repeat artist, so Brenton Duvall deserves so credit. This is a real chill song, not much going on with it, but I've found it to be perfect study music. The flow of the song somehow conveys a story with giving you so little lyrics. It's really grown on me, see what you think of "Phone Rings Goodbye".

Silver Medallion- All I Ask

I have a dope song for you all, came across it today on GoodMusicAllDay and I knew I had to post about it right away. From the beginning of the track you know it's going to be good. Silver Medallion did everything right in this song, including having Shwayze featured in it. Believe it or not its his first single, and what a way to start it off, I look forward to seeing what else he releases. This song did it to me, check out "All I Ask".

Changes to TCSwag

So I'm real excited about some of the upcoming changes to TCSwag. The blog has only been opened for 2 weeks and is already approaching 2,000 viewers. Thank you to everyone who has been following my posting as the site has just been starting up. Lately, I've found it difficult to keep up with my posting everyday so I've asked one of my friends to the second author of TCSwag. Who will it be? You'll have to wait and find out, but you won't be disappointed. All I can tell you is that there will be a lot more music and ever more non-music related posts. Hopefully by the end of the today you will see the first post of the new TCSwagger.

Strange Clouds- B.o.B

This song was brought to my attention by one of my friends over at URI. I've always been a big fan of B.o.B and now I'm a fan of this song. Real great beat to it, and Lil Wayne's part makes it even better. Overall, this is a real proud song and I think it deserves a post on TCSwag. Take a listen, Strange Clouds ft. Lil Wayne by B.o.B

Inspired Flight- Wonderwall Remix

So this song is better than any medication out there if you just want to chill out. I just finished listening to it for like the 4th time today and it's still doing it to me. I've always been a huge fan of the song"Wonderwall" by Oasis, but I think this remix may trump the original. Anytime this song comes on I feel like I should be cruising the California coast, and what's chiller than that? So check it out, "Wonderwall Remix" by Inspired Flight.

Keep Your Friends Close

I know I missed posting yesterday, its just college life has just gotten into full swing. But today I am giving you a great song to make up for it. I mean what do we really enjoy more than a talented white rapper? Besides Eminem, because it's almost like a 3 legged horse winning a horse race, it just doesn't happen! So today I am going to introduce you to Dylan Owen, if you don't already know him. This is one of my first times hearing of him so I went and checked out some of his other tracks and I was real impressed. I really just like the sound in his music, as if he's just telling you a story. See what you think in, Keep Your Friends Close.

Chris Akinyemi- Radio

So who's down to just chill for a second? Well I think I have the perfect song for you all. This is one of my favorite songs that I've heard in a very long time, and I won't usually just say that. Finally, a song with that real crisp, clean, and natural sound. I think everyone will really appreciate this, so don't pass it up.

Ex Girlfriend

No, I'm not going to be posting about my ex girlfriend, but instead it'll be about Rich Young's "Ex Girlfriend". I came across this song today on GoodMusicAllDay, and I have to say I'm more than impressed. It's got a great acoustic feel to it, and great lyrics. It's hard to think that Rich Young does it all by himself. If you're looking for a songs to add to your 'chill' playlist this is perfect for you. Check it out.

Pumped Up Kicks (Remix)

So today I realized I have really been slacking on my dubstep posts on TCSwag. I love dubstep, so I really can't be letting that happen. I came across a remix to "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster the People, and I had to get on this post. The original song has been all over the radio as of lately, so it's about time Butch Clancy came along and gave us some dubstep. The video that I'm going to post is one that has been getting huge hits lately. It's not the original, but I think everyone has always wondered how to get down to dub for real. This guy does his thing, check out Pumped Up Kicks dubstep style.

Bored in Class?

So I think I may have found a solution for the age old problem of being bored during class. But if you're not a avid bingo player, this might not be for you. The only problem is, you may be able to fill the board up completely within the first 10 minutes of lecture. Just check off a square when you witness one of the actions taking place right in front of you. It made me a little more aware of what was actually going on around me, which made communications much more enjoyable. It's pretty funny, give it a try.

Notorious B.I.G. & Miley Cyrus

So it feels as though this song has been around forever, so I'm sorry if you guys have already heard it. But I was at lunch today talking to a friend about a mashup I posted a couple of days ago, Wiz & Taylor.  And I had I said "yeah but it's not as good as the B.I.G. and Miley mashup" and they had no idea what I was talking about. So I said I would post about it and I have to say this mashup really is worthy of a post anyway. Notorious B.I.G. & Miley Cyrus make this song one of my all time favorites. So if this track is new to you, check it out.

Brendan Duell- Alone on Stage

So it's time to see a new side of TCSwag, and as the high school DJs would say, 'it's time to slow it down a bit.' Lately I've been looking for some real chill music that you can just relax and relate to. And I think I found in Brendan Duell's "Alone on Stage". It's real catchy for some reason in a weird way, and I've found myself listening to it multiple times a day. It's a little different in the best way possible, see if you agree.

Wiz & T-Swift

Now this song has been out for a while, but I'm going to guess a lot of people viewing my blog probably haven't heard about it. Now I have a confession, any song with Taylor Swift featured in it wins me over, and I'm not afraid to admit it. So when you add Wiz to the picture too, I can't express my excitement. We have Brenton Duvall to thank for this mashup. If you haven't heard of this guy before he also came out with That's All (ft. Gucci Mane), which got popular real quick. The name of the song is Mean Planes and Taylor Gang, combining Mean and This Plane. This isn't the original video but it's the best version I could find. Take a listen.

Pmac- Second Chances (Video)

This song was released a while ago on Pmac's first mixtape, First Impression, but the video for it was just released. This gave me the perfect opportunity to be able to post about it on TCSwag. The video starts off a little slow, and is pretty plain throughout the whole song. To be honest, it's nothing special, but who really needs a great video when you have such a clutch song backing it. In closing, Second Chances is a real chill song with rap and vocals that I've always had a soft spot for. See what you think.

Six Girls You Date in College

I was on CollegeHumor today and I found myself watching this video. I couldn't stop watching it because it's so true that it's hilarious. It basically encompasses every type of girl I've run into so far on my college campus. Now ladies, I'm not saying you have to be one of these, but chances are you probably fall under at least one of the categories. I don't really have to say much more, take a look.

 

Six Categories: Athletic Girl, Party Girl, Church Girl, Dumb/Hot Girl, Just Friends Girl, and who can forget Perfect Girl.

Extreme Skipping

A new movement is upon us, will you join in? Extreme skipping has to be one of the most hardcore extreme sports I've come across in my college days. "It's about rebellion, freedom of expression, style, music, you play by your own rules, its like chaos". But in all seriousness, I find this video to be hilarious. And the best part is, this actually comes from a real website where people submit their "extreme skipping", I'll post the link below. So don't skip this post, take a look.

Take Me Back- Moosh & Twist

Found this song on the top videos from GoodMusicAllDay from August 7-13. I wish I didn't miss the initial post on "Take Me Back" because it's another one of those chill songs that I have a soft spot for. This is yet again another two names that have been unknown to me until today. Moosh & Twist do it to me though with this track. Take a listen, it's a song that I think we all can relate to.

Don't Be "That Guy"

iPhonic- The Afterparty

This is my first time hearing about iPhonic. After all the reading I did on their page, all I really got out of it was these guys like to party. They're mission is to to bring “sex, drugs, rock n roll” back to the masses. So you already know these guys are going to release some good stuff. They're new mixtape is going to be called "Rock N Roll Vol 1". I'll be posting it on TCSwag when it's released in November so be sure to check back. In the mean time, check out "The Afterparty", I can already tell you guys are going to love it.  (The song starts around 0:41)

A little different from Asher Roth's most famous song "I Love College", but "Last Man Standing" is definitely doing Asher justice. See what you think.

High School Memories

I wasn't the type to be seen in detention a lot in high school. I did receive a few memorable slips, but nothing quite like this. Not matter who you are, you can always appreciate the phrase "come at me bro", especially if it's on a official  document. This is probably one of the best detention slips I've seen. For many of us, we would take pride in being able to posses this.

Human Slingshot Slip and Slide

So when I saw this video I knew I was gonna have to post about it. I know a lot of you guys, and maybe ladies, are gonna appreciate it. I mean who wouldn't want to do something like this? It sounds like something you would see on Jackass but these guys got it right, at least it seems that way from the footage they included. The video is pretty self explanatory so I don't really have to say a lot. It's got me thinking though, Summer 2012 anyone?

Radical Something

So this is kind of a new group for me, I came across them on Good Music All Day a few weeks ago. Radical Something just released their first album, We Are Nothing,  and I've listened to most of the songs on it. And  I have to say I'm loving it so far. Finally some chill rap in an alternative song, the perfect combination and is my music of choice. The group just released the album so you can download it for free or you can choose to buy it through iTunes to support them. I'm real stoked about finding these guys, and I look forward to keeping tabs on them.  Here's the track "Be Easy" from their new album, take a listen.

Beat Box- Eklipse

So I know this video has been out on Youtube for a little while now, so I might be a little late jumping on this wagon. But I just Stumbled Upon it today, and its dope. So to those of you who has already seen it, that's great for you. Just playin, for those people who have already seen it here some stuff you might not know. This guy goes by the name of Eklipse, he's a french beat boxer who is now considered by some to be the best in the world. After listening to this, I'm certainly not going to argue that. His beat just flows and he makes it sound effortless as he goes through he history of Hip-Hop. That's just all about that really needs to be said, so see what you think.

Willie Dynamite

As everyone knows Mac Miller has gotten huge within the last year. Almost everyone knows at least one song from his mixtape Best Day Ever, and lets be real its probably either "Oye Vey"  or "Donald Trump". For those of you who don't know, Mac Miller releases a new track every 100k followers on twitter. And this song, Willie Dynamite, is in recognition of him reaching 900k. This track definitely has a lot more rapping and less of a heavy background track that we are used to with Mac. I'm feeling it, what about you?

If you aren't following Mac already on twitter, here the link so we can get that 1 millionth release.

Win A Baby!

This is my first non-music post and I think I'm gonna do it justice. I came across this when searching the web, and I have to say it's pretty unbelievable. A radio station (Hot 89.9) is actually giving away a baby, the rules are simple, you just fill out a form and it will be a random drawing of the winner. To put it in simple turns, it's basically like winning a car at a carnival. I mean yeah, some of you are probably like "wow that's awesome!", but imagine in like 14 years when you have to tell the kid you won them, just like you won this teddy bear you gave to them. Awkward.

If you still don't believe me, here's the website: Hot 89.9

Turns out a pair of 13 year-olds got together a put this mashup together, they call themselves The Newcomers. If I could do this when I was 13, I certainly would not just be blogging about music.

Start of a New Blog

 What's this about?

I'm real excited about this being my first blog. Primarily this will contain a lot of music, but is definitely not limited to that as you will see real soon in the future. The music that will be posted is going to make it easy to find new stuff that you won't be hearing on the radio. Other things that will be included will be things such as online videos, events, and basically anything else you can think of.

Reason for starting it?

You know there's is a lot of sites out there were you can find music or videos, but it's not easy for sure. So I thought I should do something on my own to add my own taste to the web. And I promise I will be bringing my followers some good stuff. I am always opened to suggestions or if you find something yourself let me know about it, and it might be post worthy.

I'm going to keep all my post real short, no one likes reading. So this is the end of my first one.

Here's some new Dubstep to go out on. This is one of my favorite Dubstep beats right now, great flow, and big drops. Lights by Klaypex
