Mick Boogie finally dropped his remixtape of PBJ's Living Thing (2009) on us. I'll be the first to admit, that I'm not a big fan of Peter Bjorn & John, and don't like some of the samples from the album, but I still recognize great lyrics (the mixtape features 30 of the freshest MCs in the game today), and very good production from several hot producers. Even on the tracks that I skip over, I recognize that the lyrics are good, I just can't deal with the samples on some of them. Cuts include "Blue Period Picasso" (an amazing introduction to the rest of the album), "Stay This Way," "Lay It Down,""Last Night," "It Don't Move Me," "Nothing To Worry About," and "Amsterdam." At the end of the day the good more than outweighs the bad and it is definitely worth the download, but it just isn't good as Mick Boogie's previous projects Viva La Hova and Adele 1988. I understand that I appreciate the source material for those projects more than PBJ so there will be a lot of people out there who will absolutely love this mixtape. Enjoy.
