Vol. 2 MyDefinitionOfCOOL Playlist

March 26, 2020

The MyDefinitionOfCOOL series is created so I can overplay the new music I find enough times to know if the songs have the longevity to be added to my longer genre playlists. I still make these playlists for me but if you like them too, that’s f*ing awesome. I also love seeing my collage art on Spotify so that’s what that magic purple weirdness is. Since finding new favorite songs brings me maximum joy, it’s time to release this playlist into the wild and start digging for Volume 3. Since in an ideal universe we’d be compensating all these artists fairly for saving us with their music, I’ve also provided a list of links below to the merch sites of all artists included… listed A-Z. Since I have a music video encyclopedia, I’ve also compiled the playlist into two different YouTube MusicVideoPedia playlists… one for all the songs without official music videos and one for all the songs that have artist-approved visuals. Anyone who tells you there isn’t any great new music these days is NOT paying attention.

While researching all the links for this, I couldn’t help but notice that most of these artists need to step their merch game up. It’s giving me flashbacks from when I used to share music on a daily basis and hunt down artist links daily; an endeavor that never earned me a penny but led to every music-related opportunity that followed.

December 17, 2018

By the time I release these playlists, I’ve already overplayed them severely. I can’t even keep track of how many hours I’ve spent (while delivering pizza) singing along to this “Gonna Love Me” remix in the car and laughing at myself while I slaughter the high notes and giggle at Method Man’s verse. So many good songs on here because I made the playlist for my own enjoyment. Most of the songs are new, some are new to me, and a few are throwbacks I’m having a moment with. I really love seeing my collages as album art and have every intention of keeping this up. I’ll likely turn this image into a sticker in the coming weeks because it will look damn good out in the world. This playlist has taken me a while to finalize because I’ve recently jumped back into the two job lifestyle to save money for my next adventure and haven’t spent too much time on my website. It was intended to be an October playlist, then a November playlist, and here we are at the fictional month of Noctember. May you find your new favorite song as I did… many times.

I started this playlist back in 2015 and it has been steadily growing ever since. For awhile, it was the only playlist I created that had followers I wasn't related to but then last night I posted it on Reddit and gained almost 50 followers overnight. The playlist is a blend of Classic Hip Hop and the new generation's most talented artists. It has over 600 songs so far and I'll be updating it every time I find a new (or old) favorite song that fits the list. For fans of Outkast, Wu-Tang Clan, Madlib, Rapsody, 2Pac, J Dilla, Snoop Dogg, Statik Selektah, MF DOOM, Homeboy Sandman, Erykah Badu, Mos Def, A Tribe Called Quest, Jeremiah Jae, Redman, Nas, Evidence, Kendrick Lamar, and hundreds more...
