DENA

CASH, DIAMOND RINGS, SWIMMING POOLS

Yes, she nails it. What more is there to life? "One thing we ain't got in the the hood, diamond rings I don't need them" Summer is right around the corner, and this song is just a little taste!

The Clash

I was getting jerked around on the bus today while I was heading to work  when I realized that MIA's Paper Planes sampled the Clash's Straight to Hell.  I might be the only one who didn't know this so it came as a pretty weird surprise.  I actually thought a Paper Planes remix had been incorrectly labeled or I accidentally hit shuffle somehow, but that was not the case.  The discovery actually bothered me for a minute because I really dislike MIA and thought that she might have stole some of the Clash's thunder for the melody.  But Straight to Hell, while less poppy and dancy was a gem hiding in my ipod waiting to be found.  So here I am sharing it with you.  Enjoy.

This track is dedicated to a fellow fan of the Clash, Daveed.  Kill it up there, hombre.
