The round Cookie Crisp sounds good so I got it, glad that it's chocolate...



           Good morning! Got the perfect track for anyone in the mood for happy get up and go vibes. SLik performs great over this beat. Another one of those missing tracks, not found on an album. Anything not officially released has a trend of being absolutely magical, or on the other spectrum of good things, we can tell where this falls on the scale just by those first few seconds.
           SLik D being a supporter of, "Good Vibes", we get nothing less on this track. Many vibes of childhood, innocence, and old treasures we may never have again. He gets us off to a great start:

The dream in my head just ended cause its mornin' 
body transformin, sticky breath yep I'm yawnin' 
Bones pop lock as I'm headed downstairs
It's the weekend didn't make my bed who cares

Man I got all this in my head, pictured perfectly. All these things you know so well from past mornings. The only reason I'm not doing it this morning, is when I rolled out of bed I wanted to cover this track. Anyhow, SLik makes us carefree already. He has shifted us out of the bed and down the stairs...

Sunrise shine, birds chirp this feelin'
It is somethin' never worth killin, and if you do man you're a villain

Gotta watch out for those that can kill that vibe, even if unintentionally. Always surround yourself with the people that are healthiest for you, and by that I mean ones that compliment you and don't conflict negatively with your beliefs and philosophies. 

Open up the fridge got a fresh case of milk
Started on the floor with my socks smooth as silk
Lookin' at my cereal which should I pick?

Then he goes on to describe all his love for cereals, and all the flavors he has, explaining to us how essential it is. Funny how much the idea of morning kid's cereals can draw out of me. I picture myself on Saturday morning running downstairs grabbing a bowl of cereal. Although I am pretty weird about my cereal, ha, wouldn't eat it with a spoon, and no milk. Growing up I never had much for kid's cereals those, maybe some Berry Berry Kix, Corn Chex, Apple Cinnamon Cheerios. I even remember mom treating Cocoa Puffs as a rare treat, mention the idea of Lucky Charms and you were crazy. Yet, she always bought them for Dad, around Christmas, and he was the only one to eat them, but I made sure I got my share. Ha man, you really do think a lot when reminded of childhood simplicities. 

         The chorus give us a nice slow break from things before we get back into it, panning vocals about cereal and other mutterings. 

Waited two minutes till my cereal is moist
Star Wars spoon. Boy oh boy!
Got a big scoop heard a bloop from the splash
Took it back in the days of my age in the past 
When I was just a kid just diggin' for the prize
Thinkin' 98' brings a tear to my eyes

He starts to express what the cereal is doing to him, opening up and exploring what exactly does cereal make him remember. 

See thats the best part when I eat and reminisce
Make me wonder how I be if I didn't have this
Time for myself, time for tranquility
Saturday toons, afternoon it was meant to be
Even though I grew Imma do what I got to do

And he sets himself a goal, even though he wishes so much to have those times again, he reflects to discover all the time he has to be himself, and the freedom he has to make life what it is. 
           And I haven't even covered the tune yet. Well hot damn it is awesome. Those guitar riffs are absolutely tuned perfectly, and bring us the best sound possible, something about those notes is just killer. Then you have that touch of piano and then the introduction to soft keys. Everything about that and those boom-bip drums. This tune exponentially increases the value to this song. And as each piece is taken in and out from the beat, it compliments SLik's rapping so perfectly! Woo, they need more beats like these nowadays. Sampling Black Box's, "Fall Into My Love", they looped it perfectly. And hot damn that song itself has a killer beat, usually I don't like samples too quickly, but this one is just as good. Like woo, that song has more boom-bip that this one. Woo 2 treats in one today.

Hope you all have had a great start to your morning, make the best of the afternoon, enjoy your Father's day. And if that isn't your focus for the day, enjoy it how you intended to. Hell if you hadn't had your cereal today, go for it! Don't fall victim to ethics, enjoy your food when you want to. Lol that is enough for the day. See ya guys around. And I appreciate it if you made it this far reading.
