Paint That Shit Gold, Yo!

I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted any decent music videos up here. And quite frankly, it’s because I haven’t found anything decent that I just NEEDED to share with my friends, family, longtime readers, or any other randoms. Indeed, the best I could come up with lately was “Black Kids” simply because they remind me of some great ’80′s bands of yester-year.

However, TK (from Uncooked Meat, Pajiba, The Music is The Message … and about 27 other websites) reminded me today of (what I consider to be) one of the BEST — and most cleverly named — rap albums released in 2008:

Atmosphere’s When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold.

I’m not even gonna TRY to offer up any type of analysis or review of the album, let alone any of its singles. Here are the first two (2) video releases: Shoulda Known, and the quirkier Guarantees. Both of ‘em are great examples of what rap still can and still SHOULD sound like.

Atmosphere – Shoulda Known

Atmosphere – Guarantees

    Great fucking line!
