Song of the Week (Z-Trip Supernatural and Murs - Breakfast Club)

Do you like Saturday morning cartoons? No, silly goose, not the whack present day cartoons. I'm talking about a little something called Voltron. Let's not forget Thundercats who have achieved cult-like status. What about some of the lesser-known Hanna-Barbera classics like Johnny Quest or the Herculoids or even Birdman? And you call yourself a liker of cartoons?

Ask my sister, Saturday mornings were sacred in the Z-mann household. From 7:30am to 11:30am, Sammy (the 1st) and I dominated the TV room. Such domination must be fueled by something...but what? It's gotta be something with enough awesomeness to last me for a good 4 hours of serious toonage. Perhaps something one could go Cuckoo for? Cocoa Puffs...F Yes!

This didn't stop in elementary school. I watched 5 seasons of Dragonball Z straight, on TV, during my Senior year of High School. Keep in mind this is in a pre-TiVo world.

Where am I going with this? Oh yes, the SOTW: Z-Trip and Murs - Breakfast Club. In this song, Murs sheds the Hip-Hop bling-bling / pop-pop gangsta culture and raps about a different side of said culture: eating gangsta cereal and watching gangsta cartoons. The hook is downright infectious, and the subject matter is firmly in many of our wheelhouses.

Here's a nice remix with some very nice artwork:
