Did you know Hidden Beach, record label to Jill Scott plus a bunch of other artists, was still releasing those atrocious Unwrapped “jazz” compilations? If not, I’m here to fuck your day up: They are. A long long time ago, “jazz” renditions of popular Hip-Hop songs seemed like a novel idea, but as Hip-Hop becomes more grotesque, what we need less of is multiple versions of played-out, shitty songs.
Unwrapped Vol. 6: A Tribute To Lil’ Wayne Give The Drummer Some features a 24-year-old drummer named Tony Royster, Jr., who is too young to be sucked into this Old People Fail. Who decides, at 24, that they’re gonna totally fuck up the crappy songs their peers love by oldifying them? Also, this album is mostly a bunch of songs we got sick of until they became parodies of themselves: “Best I Ever Had”, “Every Girl”, “Turnin’ Me On”, “Single Ladies”, etc, with a couple tracks by De La Soul and Craig Mack tossed in for ornery Hip-Hop elitists such as myself. Whatever, Hidden Beach!
“Single Ladies”
“Turnin’ Me On”
“Every Girl”

No. And that’s all I have to say about that.
ROFL I actually like Tony as a drummer…he was playing drums for/in the band Imajin from back in the day…
Don’t judge me LOL!
He’s good, but he’s not the problem. LOL! Hidden Beach is for this series.
I dug maybe like the first two Unwrapped joints… then yeah, they went out of hand with it. No I didn’t know they were still dropping these…
why is the word “old” being used as a negative term?….music is music…everything has its place, and every1 is entitled 2 an opinion…the outlets for jazz are dying…musicians just love 2 play…doesn’t matter what it is…there is no such thing in life as right or wrong..that’s a man-made thought…so again i say….music is music…and how can creative expression be considered “wrong” or “old” lol….im 22 by the way
It’s humor. It’s not that serious.
