Superfly Im Good 4 The Rest of Da Day Now Thnx !

Tems - Damages(DJ RODE - Como Un Bebe Blend)

Almost a year ago I had the opportunity to spin for a tribute to Roy Ayers featuring Roy himself, Pete Rock, The Robert Glasper Experiment & Stefon Harris. The performance on stage and on the turntables was dedicated to the many interpretations of Roy's music.

One of the most legendary and most influential songs Roy Ayers ever made is "Everybody Loves The Sunshine." I put together a 15 minute mix complete with photos from the event featuring interpretations by 9th Wonder, D'Angelo, Dr. Dre, Erykah Badu and Mary J. Blige. Enjoy...

ETERNAL SUNSHINE: ROY AYERS FT. 9TH WONDER, D'ANGELO, DR. DRE, ERYKAH BADU, MARY J. BLIGE & STIMULUS

I'm good. Are you good? Cool. Then turn up the music, turn down the attitude, and let's be who we are. Nothing but good guys over here. We finish last, and that's fine. Because we're never finished.

Features RAY ANGRY (keys), DARU JONES (drums), and NATE JONES (bass), STIMULUS (vox), MALIK WORK (vox) and the inimitable CASEY BENJAMIN (vox) on the hook. 

I'M GOOD FT CASEY BENJAMIN & MARIE MARTIN

LYRICS

Don't let nobody tell you different than I tell it aaaite
They only lying to you, faker than some cellulite
I love titties love em real and love em bouncin right
Cant have that plastic not your average or the savage type

Of simple man that believe what I see is right
The eyes deceive as they perceive that's why my sleeves is (stay a silky) white
So that you can see me as the gentleman and scholar type
Well bread, well read, higher ed, better said plus gotta lust for life

You see I cant escape my past, know what you're thinking right
A Young brother, born a hustler under city lights
But that ain't right
I was a goodie good do right, head of my class the top percentile Brooklyn Burrough wide

The only problem was my first attempt at suicide
It almost worked and I was just above the age of five
And still it hurts and I feel pain so very deep inside
Just like this beat, it keep my feet movin from side to side

I like my shows the same hands wavin left to right
Like a long goodbye before your lover cries and boards the flight
Then you Kiss em miss em tell yourself that it'll be alright
Never know for sure cause anything can happen in this life

This for my people who were raised out in Brooklyn
Where you do anything to get up out of Brooklyn
See the world and brag about how you from Brooklyn
Then make some money just to bring it back to Brooklyn

Who am I? And why I am askin you
Seriously
You don't know the answer like the cure to cancer mystery
I'm tellin you cause I'm an ego maniac who literally
Lyrically works out my problems tryin to end my misery
Like ry
Can it be something inside my chemistry
My father was an evil bastard according to history
He broke hearts like spades at a barbecue played
By a nigga yellin Boston loud as red sox games
Was I born a liar, fine girl mattress occupier
Lookin for love in all the wrong places
Hate required
To channel the broken dreams when my first grade queen
Was claimed off limits to me cuz I was blacker than the street
I went out on that tar pavement opposite the basement
My daddy was in heaven I figured I could embrace him
If I looked into the traffic
Not a deer in the headlights
Man child on a mission to escape a rare life
I lived the scarce type
According to the television
2 parents in the home apple pie inside the kitchen
Golden retriever , Jesus as savior believers
Eager to pick the heat up red white and blue bleeders
That's not my life

You see I'm on it not of it
Praise be to the one who's above it
Save me from these late night discussions
Display for me what it was and what it wasn't 


This for my people who were raised out in Brooklyn
Where you do anything to get up out of Brooklyn
See the world and brag about how you from Brooklyn
Then make some money just to bring it back to Brooklyn

SO GONE FT. MISSY ELLIOTT MONICA SANGO NATE DOGG SNOOP DOGG 50 CENT THE WHISPERS JEN DALE & STIMULUS

“If ever a group lived up to their name, it's The Real Live Show. With a distinguished palette of players backing them, New York City purebred MCs Stimulus and Dionysos( now Malik Work) paint a pitch-perfect portrait of hip-hop's spirit. Check the album, check the video, but the real-deal hip-hop experience is seeing them live." – Village Voice

Born and bred in the outer boroughs of New York City, Stimulus and Malik Work (aka Dionysos), have an extraordinary artistic presence in the trendsetting nightlife scene of Hip Hop’s birthplace. Lyrical counterparts since the age of twelve (born 16 days apart), they met in a scholarship program and have been pursuing their vision of “Urban Excellence” ever since. Separated only by secondary school, then university, the two reunited to form rap conglomerate “The Eclectic Regiment.” Their themes of revelry and social inclusion quickly took hold of NYC’s then new ‘multiethnic hip hop party generation’ and the duo capitalized; promoting clubs and special events unrivalled in positivity and creativity. See: Blue Note, Jazz Standard, Joe’s Pub, Mercury Lounge, Bowery Ballroom, Irving Plaza, Cheetah, Lotus, Webster Hall, Pink Elephant and Cielo. The more success they garnered, the more they were imitated; until they discovered live musicians.

They decided they would document their new experiment with live musicians and broadcast a reality show on the internet called The Real Live Show. The music took New York by storm. People from all over the world were flocking to Izzy Bar every Tuesday to catch it live. Stimulus and Dionysos (now Malik Work) became hosts of a barrier-breaking format.

NYC’s premiere Hip Hop band was born. Some of the industry’s most sought after musicians became regulars, i.e. Bilal, Roy Hargrove, N’Dea Davenport, Swiss Chris, Raymond Angry, Tarus Mateen, Kim Thompson, Rob Glasper, Greg Hutchinson, Deantoni Parks and Chris Dave. Over the years they continue to refine their music, having dropped the improv sessions for a more polished format.

They are night club legends. Stimulus is currently DJing working all the hottest parties in the city. Malik is acting in films and commercials. With the sophomore album coming and collaborative projects in Europe, the Middle East, and Brazil… The Real Live Show is just getting warmed up
