Today is Memorial Day which for me means it’s officially summer. Google tells me that June 20th is the official kick off of summer but coming out of this pandemic, everybody’s ready to get after it right now. We’ve all been holed up in our homes over the past year and change and now we’re all ready to let loose. Nah… Let loose sounds corny…. I think I can collectively say that we’re all down to rage. And living out here on the west coast, we need that laid back, tank top wearing, bucket hat rockin, type of vibe to get us where we need to go. We need something like this to kick off of the summer playlist. A lil Jamie XX on the beat with Young Thugga and Popcaan doing their thang.
This summer is going to be one where we’re all happy because we now know we can’t take our lives for granted. This pandemic sucked. I really hope we don’t have to experience this again but I know it’s taught me to appreciate the good times and cherish the memories and time we have on this earth. And man…. How good does it feel to take that mask off???
My homie D-Shakenem had a house party this weekend and before I even got to the party I floated out the idea of getting strippers. If you know me, you know I’m not the strippers kind of guy. Well, I take that back…. The strippers we had at my parents house when they were out of town in 1999 were on point but other than that, I’m not throwing any of my hard earned cash at strippers. But now I feel that coming out of Covid-life I’m down to support small businesses and give the strippers some love. I got a couple of bandz to make them dance too. My homies do as well so that option will remain on the table.
I haven’t taken an Uber in over a year and forgot where the app was on my phone but I know where it is now. Gotta take that Uber after smoking 3 j’s along with a couple of shots of Don Julio. I’m not out here trying to catch a DUI. Uber everywhere nahmean….
You better have your gear on point this summer too. Not talking Dolce & Gabbana type hype but you better at least be showing up with some fresh new kicks and something else flashy.
Memorial Day weekend is really just the jump off though. From the sounds of my inebriated friends, we’re about to have house parties every other weekend. Kids invited on most of them so an early shout out to those responsible parents who will be looking after all of the kids. I’m proud to say that I am one of those parents and I can watch at least 4 or 5 if I’m on homie daddy duty. And if you think I can handle it, who you foolin? I’ll hold the kids and get them out on that dance floor kinda like this….
And since we’re on that summer vibes tip, don’t think for one second I’m not going to have some Bad Bunny and J. Balvin on this playlist. These dudes are out here saying sh*t I don’t even understand and it doesn’t matter one bit. My wife and I were planning to see Bad Bunny in London on our honeymoon in 2018 and got too tired to Uber out and scalp tickets. Do you know how often we talk about how much we blew it that night? That would have been Bad Bunny in London before he exploded. Man, oh man…. Concert regrets right there.
By now I’m really hoping that you’re catching my vibe on this playlist. I’m going back to the 90’s with some Do or Die and Jigga but I’m also getting you current with some Gunna and 42 Dugg with a little Gucci and Cardi B sprinkled in throughout.
Whatever you guys do this weekend and this summer just be smart. Don’t be getting behind that wheel if you’re faded. Life’s precious and that $30 Uber ride is worth every damn penny. Now that the PSA is out of the way, let’s get it y’all! Here’s the Spotify playlist for the summer.
