two hip-hop bside rarity things today.
Beyonce ft. Ghostface Killah - "Summertime" (remix). This is a lovely, sashaying little remix, taken from a Ghostface mixtape. Ghostface is amusingly confessional, but the sincerity is ultimately really endearing. "this shit is real."
Kanye West and Common - "Better than Yours". A remix of Kelis's "Milkshake," and although it's missing the robotic "la la la la" of the original (ie, my favourite part), it's sorta cool to hear the song as bravado-filled rap, by Kanye and Common of all people.
it's really, really fucking cold in montreal right now. the wind is like this monstrous knife thing, cutting at your face. it makes me weep, really.
