SPOTLIGHT: Wordburglar – Rap Viper (Welcome to Cobra Island)
Who is Wordburglar? From his official web-page:
“”A strong contender for the most likely-to-be-quoted rapper at the water cooler, ‘Burg has carved a niche for himself with audiences across Canada and beyond with whimsical lyrics, a unique sense of humor and a dedication to true-school rap.
A consummate performer, freestyler and improviser, Wordburglar’s upbeat raps combine patented wordplay calisthenics with head-nodding beats, storytelling and comedy. Unapologetic in his love of double-entendres, ridiculous similes and classic rhyme schemes, Burg’s lyrics are peppered with maritime charm, observational humour and obscure Canadiana. His nerdy honesty, cutting puns and “what did he just say?” rhyme style continues to win over ears with his latest album “3rdburglar”. “3rdburglar” is available now and features videos for the hit songs “Rhyme O’Clock”, Drawings With Words” and “Croque Monsieur”.
Please contact wordburglar@urbnet.com for bookings, inquiries and information.”

MUSIC: Daft Punk: Random Access Memories (PitViper)
As you all know by now, the members at OG13 have a vast amount of interests outside of toys. We strongly encourage discussions of all types here, and showcase the “good-stuff” regardless on the genre. With that said, music provides an ongoing soundtrack to our lives, whether we are driving, working out, watching movies, or opening Joes. What is it that currently inspires you musically? One man shares his answer…
A review set to the tune of PitViper and his white-noise filters:
Some of you know this, some of you dont, I don’t listen to just metal. Actually I f’ng love a lot of music from the 70’s. The tones and overall feel of many of the songs from early Elton John to disco and funk just has a feel to it to me that you can sink your teeth into, it’s a very tangible thing. The last few years I find myself listening to soundtracks in the same way I cue up an old Iron Maiden album. I just dig big orchestrated sounds that take you back to a scene or a feeling you had when you watched that scene..make any sense?
Ok so fuck all of that. I spent the last 2 days with R.A.M pumping into my headphones. I had purchased the radio edit of Get Lucky when it came out and that was all I knew about this record. Pharrell was doing guest vocals (and sounding like Off The Wall era Michael Jackson) Nile Rodgers was playing guitar and it was produced by Giorgio Moroder. For those that don’t know Nile Rodgers was the guitarist of Chic..as in “Freak Out” and basically invented disco guitar and somewhat reinvented the pop guitar by playing a lot of weird chord inversions that…well they kind of sound like shit until they have music surrounding them. David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance”–that’s him, and that’s a chord inversion. Giorgio Morodor is the composer of the Scarface soundtrack, Never Ending Story, Midnight Run and a slew of other crap. He also modernized the synthesizer. Knowing all of this I figured “man now THAT is a friggin collaboration!”…and I was right. However, if you only downloaded the radio edit of Get Lucky, you have jipped yourself. It’s a shell of the original version.
This album to me does what all awesome albums and soundtracks do, it kind of takes you someplace. Brings you back to that “scene”. It’s not typical Daft Punk, it’s very very musical with live instrumentation blended with synth, vocoder, deep lyrics and it’s own feel. While most of it is very upbeat and just in time for Summer there are some really deep tracks that actually are a bit too “heavy” for my mood of late.
So now, I’ll give you the rundown track by track.
1. Give Life Back To Music: Awesome track, BIG sound. I can’t stress “big”. If the Rocky theme and P-Funk had a kid, this might be what came out. Great live, upbeat sound with very pronounced instruments. It’s a great way to start the album.
CL of 2NE1’s Solo Debut
The Leader of 2NE1 debuted her first single, The Baddest Female. When you watch this video, VIPs and Black Jacks will noticed the new look for CL as well as a more hard core, as Kpop rap can get, style. While it is good to see any activity from a member of 2NE1 I personally can’t wait for their comeback. Click HERE to discuss the song and video.
