[Throwback] Fabolous & Tamia

2011-05-29T04:33:00.000-07:00

很多人開始接觸嘻哈音樂時往往會無法適應拍子裡那強烈的鼓聲，
而且感覺MC們總是批哩趴啦的念個不停！
所以，UR Music這周還要帶來另外一首在好幾年前的台北街頭上也能經常聽見的輕柔Hip-Hop，
Fabolous和Tamia的Into You，還有Tamia自己的經典情歌Officially Missing You，放鬆的度過這個星期天: )

Update: 再一首Fabolous和R&B美聲團體Jagged Edge的Trade It All Part 2！

[Throwback] Smile Like The Sunrise, Claudette Ortiz

2011-05-29T04:15:00.000-07:00

在electrohop和autotune風格以前，
大家還記得The Fugees團員Wyclef Jean帶出的流行Hip-Hop/R&B雙棲三人組合City High嗎！？
其中最讓UR Music DJ和MC們懷念的女團員Claudette Ortiz最近與製作人will.i.am., Pharrell, Stargate合作
試錄了一些單曲，可能會在今年推出新專輯！

在發行日期確定以前，讓我們先回顧City High時期的經典單曲，
What Would You Do和Caramel，還有2006年Claudette首次嘗試單飛的單曲Can't Get Enough！

Saigon - Clap featuring Faith Evans

2011-05-22T06:46:00.000-07:00

大家有看過HBO的影集Entourage嗎？劇中 Turtle簽約的饒舌歌手Saigon在螢幕外可是
一直被嘻哈圈關注的狠角色！歷經好多好多年，Saigon離開了Atlantic Records，決定
在地下發行眾人期待已久的專輯The Greatest Story Never Told，繼續與主流地下兩邊
通吃的製作人Just Blaze合作，專輯的第二首單曲找來了Faith Evans，告訴我們要持續
保持樂觀，向壓力和沮喪說再見，大家都要加油！

We try our best to survive

We ain't runnin away
And keep our heads to the sky
Y'all never will lead us astray
Kiss that stress and depression goodbye
Chase all of our troubles away
If we could just get it right
Then everything, it should be okay
Oh okay

Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap!!!

Lupe Fiasco – Words I Never Said (feat. Skylar Grey)

2011-04-28T23:56:00.000-07:00

歷經四年與唱片公司Atlantic的不愉快，Lupe Fiasco終於推出了第三張專輯Lasers！

單曲Words I Never Said與近來當紅的Alex da Kid和白人女聲Skylar Grey合作，
繼續關心他從第一張專輯 Food & Liquor以來就不斷重申其重要性的社會議題，
Lupe在歌詞裡質疑的有軍火商和政府的不當勾結、以色列和巴勒斯坦的長年衝突、
學生的教育問題、種族議題、回教遭受的不平對待、貧民區的結構性問題、
貪婪的金融業.....，世界上有這麼多問題卻沒人關注，包括他自己的所有人，
Lupe相信我們不該繼續畏懼面對。

A rebel in your thoughts, ain't gonna make it halt
If you don't become an actor, you'll never be a factor
Consider this your bailin out, so take a breath, inhale a few
My screams is finally gettin free, my thoughts is finally yellin through

It's so loooooud inside my head
With words that I should have said
As I drooooown in my regrets
I can't take back the words I never said, never said
I can't take back the words I never said

Wiz Khalifa - Roll Up

2011-04-06T08:57:00.000-07:00

春天終於要來了！！！
UR Music本周為大家帶來適合春天輕緩步調的單曲Roll Up
與Black And Yellow一樣由知名團隊Stargate製作，
Wiz Khalifa這次回歸mixtape時期最拿手的舒暢風格，
對MV女主角Cassie唱著

Whenever you need me, whenever want me
You know you can call me, I'll be there shortly
Don't care what your friends say, cause they don't know me
I can be your best friend, and you be my homie
I ain't gon' flex, I'm not gon' front
You know if I ball, then we all gon' stunt
Send her my way, she ain't gotta hold up
Whenever you call baby I roll up
I roll up, I roll up, whenever you call baby I roll up
I roll up, I roll up, whenever you call baby I roll up

大家有沒有發現近年來嘻哈對女性的態度已經有所轉變了呢？
另外有趣的是，Wiz Khalifa是個每天非抽大麻不可的饒舌歌手
(詳情請見mixtape Kush & OJ)
這首歌巧妙地結合了捲大麻菸的動作 "Roll Up" 和立刻去找女生的"Roll Up"
表示Wiz對這兩項事情有多麼喜愛！

嘻哈近年來好久沒有這種單曲，聽著看著UR Music下次想跟大家在海灘派對見面！！

Brand new anthem for the NYC!!

2011-03-16T08:54:00.000-07:00

延續上次的主題，UR Muisc本週回到嘻哈發源地紐約，
讓Brooklyn的Maino為大家帶來新單曲We Keep It Rockin'!!!

Maino這次選擇的合作對象全是來自紐約的饒舌歌手，
包括Ruff Ryders的Swizz Beatz和Jadakiss，
代表Harlem的Jim Jones和同樣出身自Brooklyn的Joell Ortiz

MV的取鏡地點則選在紐約知名的Club Amnesia
其中出現了更多的紐約饒舌歌手和DJ
像是UR Music曾經介紹給大家的DJ Camilo, Lloyd Banks,
Juelz Santana, DJ Jazzy Joyce...等等

最後配上Swizz Beatz一貫的暢快製作手法
讓這首單曲與大家熟悉的Empire State of Mind相比，更具街頭和party風味！

"New York City, knows how to party In New York City,
they know how to party!!
New York City (Yeah Yeah!!!)
we be rockin (Welcome to New York!!!)"

"Roll up in the club like BOW!!!!"
UR Music的DJ和MC們聽到這首單曲都迫不及待要與你一起party了！！

yeah aha, you know what it is, BLACK AND YELLOW, BLACK AND YELLOW....wait a sec...what it really is !???

2011-03-08T10:21:00.000-08:00

每當UR Music的DJ放出這首充滿歡樂氣氛的單曲
相信舞池裡的大家一定都會跟著MC暢快地大喊
BLACK AND YELLOW BLACK AND YELLOW
BLACK AND YELLOW BLACK AND YELLOW!!!!!!!

但究竟Wiz Khalifa說的Black and Yellow是什麼意思呢？

讓UR Music告訴你！

在嘻哈文化裡，
饒舌歌手經常喜歡在歌詞裡告訴大家自己從哪裡來，頌揚自己的家鄉。
最經典的例子像是2 Pac的California Love, Nas的New York State of Mind
而近期最耳熟能詳的當然是Jay-Z和Alicia Keys合作的Empire State of Mind

Wiz Khalifa當然也繼承了這樣的傳統，
然而他既不是來自嘻哈發源地的紐約，
也不是瀰漫放客風味的西岸，更不是有著炎熱節拍的南岸。

但為了讓大家知道，他出身自賓州的大城Pittsburgh，
Wiz Khalifa因此借用了當地職業球隊Steelers, Pirates和Penguins的球衣配色─
黑色和黃色做比喻

跟我們說他有多麼以Pittsburgh為傲，是當地最棒的饒舌歌手！

"Rep up in my town, when you see me you know everything Black and yellow,

I put it down from the whip to my diamonds, I"m in Black and yellow"

最後值得一提的是，這首歌也被其他的饒舌歌手拿來混音，

比如說加州的湖人隊球迷，Snoop Dogg和The Game就把歌詞改成了"Purp and Yellow"

紐約的Maino則是為了迎接Carmelo Anthony加入尼克隊，改唱"Yeah Carmelo"

Youtube上還有各式各樣的Black and Yellow混音等著你發現

下次party跟UR Music分享你最喜歡的版本吧！

Music in the air ? Nah~It's on the streets!

90's Party-九〇復古

愛party的人大概都會知道歐洲人的party功力堪稱一絕；
其中德國人超愛party,
即使白天看起來祥和安靜的老城鎮也壓不著城市夜晚有力的脈動；

德國人很愛瓣party，
街頭的派對海報每週都在換；

在德國的外國人也要有party，
所以在這裡還找得到土耳其嘻哈趴、非洲舞之夜、每天晚上純Reggaeton的夜店一週七天無休！

總歸一句話，音樂與派對就攤在陽光下，搖滾客嘻哈咖與電音玩家各有歸所。

派對王國不只可以在國外，我們相信在群眾的需求與業者的打造下，台灣也可以是個多元的party world.

告訴我們你夢想中的派對該是什麼樣子，your(ur) wish is oUR command.

Who know how to party, know how well the Europeans party, and that the Germans r definitely know their parties better than any others.
The German love to party, even the peacefulness in the old cities can't repress the strongly beating pulse of the night life;
The German love to hold parties, party posters almost change before you notice at all;
The foreigners in German also need to party(well it's international then), so Turkey Hip-Hop Parties, African dance nites and clubs playing reggaeton all night long are everywhere to be found here.

It's the party place for our people who know their Hip-Hop, who rock their rockn'roll, and the one's who flow with the techno.

Tell us about your ideal party now, your(UR) wish is oUR command.
