Think Differently & Wu- Tang- Coffee And Cigarettes (The Cappacino Mix)



"Coffee and Cigarettes" was a funny, quirky and well thought out indie movie directed and written by the legendary Indie filmmaker Jim Jarmusch, that relayed to the viewers a series of different short stories all tied together by two things; Coffee and Cigarettes. Amazingly cerebral the movie is very comical and shows you a very real angle of everyday life, how we as humans are addicted to certain things and how absorbed we can become with those things. "Coffee and Cigarettes: The Cappacino Mix" is an older tape from one of my favorite hip-hop labels/entities Think Differently Music that sort of pays homage to the movie, which featured Rza and Gza. This tape is unique and really a credit to the genius of Wu-Tang as a whole and as a lineage as well. I always enjoy the samples employed by Wu producers and the ideas that Rza and friends choose to explore, this tape sort of mirrors those ideas and tastes. You can find an assortment of great musical people on The Cappacino mix including the iconic group The Beatles, sultry songstress Nina Simone and Jazz man Malcolm McLaren. Truly a mix that more kids should try and check for simply for the musical history that is relayed on it. I urge everyone to rent "Coffee And Cigarettes" from their local "hip" video store, it's really a great movie. This mix is also great and filled with music that is very diverse and that no doubt influenced the film. I know one of the many treats on this that I enjoyed was track 9; "Riteous Talk" a tremendous instrumental produced by Bronze Nazereth, sure to please anyone who is a little put off by the tapes more vintage and neo-hippie feel at times. A must have for any Wu head or Jim Jarmusch fan.
