Finally, I've found a song I really like enough to post about. Music is so stagnant and generic right now. In lieu of that, I've been listening to some independent artists and underground ones. This happens to be about an underground artist.
Cooler Than Me - Mike Posner & The Brain Trust
If you've spent time on the west coast last summer, then you've probably heard this Duke University student's song. He gets a lot of love from there, but hasn't reached the east quite yet. But after listening to both of his mixtapes, 'One Foot Out The Door' and 'A Matter Of Time', that will be changing very shortly because this white guy has real talent.
'Cooler Than Me' is a song about a confident guy not being able to get a girl because she acts like she's too cool to be in his company. I know I've had that experience more than once, but this is not about me. Its about the song. He says this chick always wears designer sunglasses to hide her face, doesn't speak to him, or remember his name because she thinks her shit doesn't stink. I don't know about other guys, but that is a little attractive to me too. Even though this girl does all of this to him, you know he's not phased by it because the opening line is, "If I could write you as song to make you fall in love/ I would already have you up under my arm." As well as writing the lyrics, Posner created the beat. That is almost as infectious as the lyrics.
Check this joint out. You won't regret it. Plus, instead of getting mad at a chick for thinking she's too good for you, you already have an answer for that. She probably thinks that she's cooler than you. Show that she's not, fellas!
Check out datpiff.com for both mixtapes and the song. There's a different version on each one. Enjoy!
