DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince - Summertime (Hybrid Mix)
It’s almost like tradition now that the summer season hasn’t officially started until somebody puts on “Summertime”. With this perfect homage to the time of year when kids have no homework worries, drop tops hit the streets and barbecue grills are flared up, DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince bounced back from novelty pop/ rap duels with Freddy Kruger, Mike Tyson and parents who just didn’t understand. Spurred by Will Smith’s sudden popularity as the star of his own NBC sitcom, JJ & FP took a chance to re-infiltrate the music game after being knocked aside for hardcore rap’s increasing presence and won over everyone with “Summertime.”
Check out Hybrid’s take on it, you won’t hear this rare remix anywhere else.
Enjoy your barbecues tomorrow!
It’s alright. but it ain’t…
Not a huge fan of Pearl Jam, but I am a huge fan of animated music videos.
I, on the other hand, am a huge fan of Pearl Jam and of Animated Music Videos. Double score!
Today as my mom grabbed a quick bite of lunch at Taco Bell (I know, but we had to…) I noticed a young couple that were eating a few tables over from us. They seemed to be laughing and having great conversation. After a little while they left and went outside to where their cars were parked. They had both driven separately (which I noticed when they started unlocking them) and had obviously just met to have lunch in the middle of their busy work day. But once they were saying goodbye and started hugging, they kissed each other goodbye. They kissed for several moments, over and over, and finally pulled themselves apart to get in their cars.
Don’t you remember what that is like? How much fun it is? To actually be WITH (in person) the one you love and not be able to tear yourself away from them? It reminds of the Maroon 5 song, “I’ve had you so many times but somehow I want more…”. It’s that kind of love.
I suppose that this occurs commonplace everyday and many people wouldn’t have even noticed, but to me it was a magnet for my eyes because of the ache I feel to kiss the one I love. It’s hard to be apart…..it never grows easy. And I can’t wait to just hold their hand again! So, don’t take it for granted. Take those extra seconds to kiss them again and again and again before they leave.
Let’s be honest… they were having an affair - at TB no less. ;)
Maitz has a hard time getting inspired. Good thing I am around to jump start the creativity… This video MAY have been edited to change the context of the situation. Maybe.
Hell’s yeah.

Most Memorable Scene — In the middle of the night, on a dusty airfield, watching the better part of a battalion of Marines packed up and ready to go home after over six months in al-Anbar, the relief etched in their young faces even in the moonlight. Then watching these same Marines exchange glances with a similar number of grunts loaded down with gear file past — their replacements. Nothing was said. Nothing needed to be said.
