Jukebox: I-Monster vs. Lupe Fiasco
I-Monster - Daydream In Blue(from the palindromic album, neveroddoreven)
In 2001, I-Monster released a dreamy hit that had an infectious lazy, hazy summer-time vibe. Ahhh… but do not be fooled by its enchanting melodies and pretty vocals… cos if you listen carefully to the lyrics, you’d discover that it’s a song about having a dirty dream. Haha… Genius!
Here’s the chorus (lalala)…
I dream a dirty dream of ya baby
you’re crawling on the bathroom floor,
you float around the room and you’re naked,
then you’re flying out the bedroom door,
I dream a dirty dream
I dream a dirty dream
Lupe Fiasco - Daydreamin’ feat. Jill Scott
Then into the scene swaggers Lupe Fiasco, who decides to add some of his own flava into da mix, rappin’ up a storm… resulting in a nicely gangsta’d up hiphop version. Coupled with Jill Scott’s powerful & soulful voice, they’ve managed to add more character, sex appeal and oomph! to this eccentric track.
Sweeeeeet.
