Life is nothing but a shadow

Handsome Boy Modeling School. "Sunshine (feat. Sean Lennon, Money Mark & Father Guido Sarducci) [Groove Armada Sunset Dub]." So..Hows Your Girl, Tommy Boy Music, 1999.

If you aren't already hooked on the Questlove Supreme podcast, make sure to check out this week's episode featuring one of hip-hop's greatest DJs and producers, the legendary DJ Prince Paul.

Slowing things down a bit, here's one of my favourite tracks of his from his Handsome Boy Modeling School collaborative project with Dan the Automator, plus guest appearances from friends including comedian Don Novello as the character Father Guido Sarducci. Also, these lyrics feel appropriate during this week of the solar eclipse.

🎶 Shine on, shine on, shine on
Forget about your sorrow
Forget about the heartache
Life is nothing but a shadow  
Forget about your worries
Forget about the bad times
Life is nothing but a shadow
Shine on 🎶

Boy was high, girl fly like kite

De La Soul. "A Roller Skating Jam Named 'Saturdays.'" De La Soul Is Dead, Tommy Boy, 1991.

Produced by Prince Paul and featuring vocals from Q-Tip and Vinia Mojica, this track samples Chicago's "Saturday In The Park" (another classic) and always makes me want to head to the roller disco when I put it on.

🎶 Saturday, it's a Saturday // 5 days of work, 1 whole day of play // C'mon everybody, wear your rollerskates today 🎶
