Yeah, Ok

So I was gonna buy Game Theory yesterday, but then I said fuck that and bought Do You Want More?!?!?! instead. I'm weird like that, when I'm getting into a new artists I usually go back and look at their early shit. That's how I do thaaangs.


Well needless to say, I know what all the noise concerning The Roots is. Before this, I always assumed that because the headwraps and white college kids were going nuts over them, they couldn't be that sweet.

Well they are.

I Gave My Momma The Diploma, Said I'll Holla At Ya Later

I posted Biggie's picture today to thank him for helping my find my world civilizations classroom today.

Well now I've been to all my classes, and they all seem manageable with the possible exception of my math class. But that ain't a big deal, I'll just have to work a bit harder. I'm either going to buy The Shining or Game Theory tomorrow. Any input on that? I know The Shining is gonna be the shit, but I hear good things about Game Theory too.

Pat Buchanan sez:
" That’s one thing. The second thing is Mexicans, unlike Irish or German folks, never claimed America as their country. They owned it. 58% of Mexicans believe the southwest belongs to them. The third thing is, they were assimilated. There powerful assimilation movement in this country that does not exist right now and in so the point of the thing is, they are not assimilated into America. Many Hispanics, as a matter of fact, you know what culture they are assimilating to? — the rap culture, the crime culture, anti-cops, all the rest of it."

Yes, scary Latino people assimilating to hip hop culture is going to destroy America. Is this motherfucker out on a day pass?


Earl Hutchinson sez:
"The racial gap yawned clearly in the gap between black and white reaction to the Bush administration's first fumbled relief efforts. In polls, most blacks hammered Bush as meanspirited and callous. Conspiracy mills churned furiously. Many blacks publicly, and even more privately, saw racism in the turgid response. Many cheered hip-hop artist Kanye West's assertion that Bush didn't care about black people.

Most white respondents to polls were critical - but they attributed federal sluggishness to bureaucratic bungling, not racial malice.

Many whites find it too painful to think that the federal government, their government, would cold-bloodedly leave Americans - even black, poor Americans - to suffer. And many blacks find it too painful to believe that racial indifference wasn't the prime motive for the government to leave so many poor blacks to twist in misery in New Orleans."

I'm inclined to say it was more based on economics, but in a predominantly black city such as NOLA, the two are kinda the same thing. Then again, I did see a bunch of poor white folks on When The Levees Broke.



New Murs interview. Y'all know dude is pretty much my favorite rapster.

If you don't go to this, you are a herb.

If The Record Is A Smash, I Could Still Survive

Well folks, it's that time again. The days of watching Seinfield, drinking chocolate milk, and sleeping in till noon have come to an end. And as Spike Lee would say, school daze have resumed. So that means that I'm back off in this bitch posting shit.

But for today, I'm just going to hit you guys off with some mp3s from my favorite current rap artists, being that this is a rap blog and all.


Brother Ali-Original King

If you ain't up on Bro Ali, you need to do a Trillville and GET ON MY LEVEL. A lot of people hate on Rhymesayers Ent. because they got Atmosphere on there and Slug raps about girls and shit, but they forget that Brother Ali is on there. Dude is one of the best rappers alive, period. All of his albums are sick. Anyway, this song is some braggadocious shit, but knocks anyway. It's from his upcoming album, The Undisputed Truth.

Senim Silla-For The Record

This isn't new in the strictest sense of the word, but being that Binary Star is supposedly back together, I figured I would throw up my second favorite song from Silla. This is just a dope song, basically. Also speaking of Binary, I have a show on september 2nd with One Be Lo. What you know about that.

Cormega-Dirty Game

If you don't like Cormega, please give me your address so I can come kick your ass. Thanks.

You Either Ride With Us, Or Collide With Us

From the Outlawz interview on Bol's site.

"EDI: Also we kicking it from the addict’s point of view. Stic got a real dope song called “Open Window” talking about his brother’s addiction and just addressing that. A lot of times in rap, you get cats kicking the drug culture from the drug dealer’s perspective being the hustler or selling it. This one of the first projects, probably ever that you get a perspective from somebody dealing with an actual addict in their family."


I mean, except My Brother's A Basehead.



Just sayin'.
