This track makes me want to do a Christmas mixtape.

What about a title like "St. Nik's Sack of Beats"?

It happens more than I'd like -- I produce something I think is amazing, but it doesn't click with other people. Century is one of those times. And so is Savage.

In fact, as far as I know, I'm the only person that likes this song. So give it a spin and see what you think... am I wrong?

Savage samples voice and song from narrated sports footage. I love those old dramatic re-narrations of football and baseball games, and I like the unconventional quality of this sampled audio. I'm also very pleased with the drums on this one.

Basically, what I'm saying is I LIKE THIS SONG.

ALRIGHT! You know the song's gonna be good when I name the mixtape after it!!!

Well, actually, it's the other way around -- my mixtapes after named after War Machine's quotes from Marvel vs. Capcom, and then I chose a track on each mixtape to represent the title... but that's neither here nor there, really.

This is one of the few mixtape cuts I WISH I could take full credit for! Alas, it uses a sample for the excellent melody and mouth noises (I guess it's beatboxing... though it's more like Bobby McFerrin-style a cappella). I chopped, looped it, and added some drums. Nothing special, mind you, but I think the combination is fantastic.
