NIGGAZ and WHITE GIRLZ

niggaz n white girlz

Bay Area rap music isn’t afraid to push the levels upward when it comes to artistic content. Beautiful Hustle has a dope hyphee video with KEAK Da SNEAK and E-40 on blast at her site. Click the link here and watch the video. Hopefully all the hits won’t smash her bandwidth.

Shouts to my boy GUY RILLA, the TECHWHORE. Dude straight-laced me with a concept album from KIRBY DOMINANT and CHRIS SINISTER titled ‘Niggaz and White Girlz’. Don’t let the title put you off. This shit is some of the best Hip-Hop I have listened to in a long time. When was the last time that you listened to an entire album just because it was good? If you are younger than thirty (or Black?!?) you won’t recognize a single sample on their album.

That isn’t exactly true either, but if you grew up in the eighties without any white friends then you missed out on some innovative and creative music. KIRB and CHRIS freak their entire album with new wave pop music samples. The loop from GARY NUMAN’s ‘Cars’ is sick to death and when you listen to these dudes rhyme over the track you may just realize what the missing link is.

There is a vast treasure trove of untapped samples that exists in the land known as ‘white music’ which 1980’s new wave occupies along with punk rock and several other genres. Current producers are either ignorant or scared of repurposing this music, but there is a tremendous amount of soul contained in the grooves of THOMAS DOLBY, the CLASH, INXS, KRAFTWERK, GARY NUMAN, NINE INCH NAILS, the POLICE, et.al.

It was a grand plot of the devil to name people Black and white since no human can actually be either extreme tone. Humans in their ultimate folly and lazy stupidity have accepted this division because they want to believe that there will be some privilege that it engenders. Possibly a V.I.P. pass to the champagne room. Some heaven on Earth. Whatever. I am not going to pretend that the KIRB and CHRIS album will bring you closer to GOD, but it is a damn good album to keep in the car while driving.

Or while sitting in your parents’ basement, sipping on Crystal Light from your favorite cup with the crazy straw, blogging our azz off like theres no tomorrow.

You Too Can Be President (of Def Jam).

Wednesday, January 18th, 2006

s dot

From the outside looking in, a lot of folks wondered how SEAN CARTER came to be the president of Def Jam records. Even the record industry people that knew JAY-Z had a difficult time in conducting a prolonged conversation without succumbing to rapping were slightly amused.

Again, from the outside looking inward it is one of the greatest rags to riches stories. Parallel in some ways to that of the little orphan Annie whose theme song gave the under five years old crew another tune to drone on about in JAY-Z’s catalog other than the ‘Jigga, My Nigga‘ song (which by the way I first heard sung by a five year old holding his mother’s hand while she shopped in the Fulton Mall). Despite his penchant for simple hooks that attract infants and those of us with the same brain capacity, JAY-Z doesn’t rank in the BILLY SUNDAY Top 5 G.O.A.T. crapper list. However, the self-proclaimed G.O.A.T. must owe some serious scrilla to SEAN CARTER.

I am not going to drag this post out for too long just to say that I had an epiphany this past weekend. I finally had the chance to listen to the ‘Grey Album’ and some other classic JAY-Z material. All I heard on these songs was LL COOL J’s inflections and cadence. It dawned on me that JAY-Z has been writing lyrics for LL COOL J for prah’lee at least 15 years. That is definitely SEAN CARTER’s pen work on ‘Boomin’ System’ and ‘Jinglin’ Baby’.

How else could JAY-Z supersede LL COOL J and DMX to ascend to the mythic position of label president? He had to have the leverage of his total writing catalog and not just his affiliation as Mr.BeYONCE KNOWLES. Its become obvious that SEAN CARTER has the business acumen of a Roc-A-Wear wristband for letting the JUELZ SANTANA project cool down and lose momentum while having the GHOSTFACE album damn near delayed until summer. The T.I.’s at Island Records Group which is owned by Universal Music Group, which is owned by General Electric will eventually get around to counting their beans at Def Jam.

So you can expect for JAY-Z to be releasing an album during the third quarter of 2006. Or getting a visit from the terminator, BOBA FETT.
