WHERE’s THE BEEF?!?

Tuesday, January 25th, 2011

beef

Wendy’s had a murderous series of commercials back in the 1980s all about fast food restaurants using massive buns and tiny burgers.

The catchphrase was ‘Where’s the beef [ll]?”

Fast forward to 2010 and Taco Bell is being sacked with a class action lawsuit because their ‘beef’ products contain less than 35% of ground beef. Here’s a list of all the other shit in their ‘beef’ products…

Beef, water, isolated oat product, salt, chili pepper, onion powder, tomato powder, oats (wheat), soy lecithin, sugar, spices, maltodextrin (a polysaccharide that is absorbed as glucose), soybean oil (anti-dusting agent), garlic powder, autolyzed yeast extract, citric acid, caramel color, cocoa powder, silicon dioxide (anti-caking agent), natural flavors, yeast, modified corn starch, natural smoke flavor, salt, sodium phosphate, less than 2% of beef broth, potassium phosphate, and potassium lactate

Taco Bell = 35% beef and 65% bullshit!

jordan 3s

Yeah, I got caught up in the Air Jordan 3 hype. But what can I say? I’m a sucker for a dope package [ll]. With this release the Jordan Brand folks gave the fans some nifty little extra details. A special box, elephant print paper, a chunky keychain hang tag?!?!

The best part was that the box price was less than all of the recent Jordan retro releases. Thanks Nike.

Wall Street Is An Inside Job…

wall street

This documentary ‘Inside Job‘ will have you sick to your brain. Do you realize the kind of world we live in where a tiny group of people is literally robbing the entire world in plain sight? But that is how they have the game set up.

America: Why R Your Peeps So Dum?

Sadly, there is NOTHING you or I can do. We are fuxed the fux up. Everyone who you thought might could have saved us is in on the racket. If I didn’t like shopping as much as I do suicide would be a favorable option to being around when this shit all falls down.

Support The Hip-Hop Word Count…

staple crops

Several years ago I had a discussion with my homey Tahir about how you could definitively determine that rap music was in decline as an American art. We talked for hours about the use of language as a socializing culture tool and the complexity of the spoken word in music. I took those discussions and framed them into weblog drops. Tahir took those discussions and developed the Hip-Hop Word Count. Think of the HHWC as a sort of rap music Wikipedia containing all kinds of cross-referenced information on rap songs from 1979 to the present.

Tahir needs our support to help him complete this project. If I can be big enough to allow him to take full credit for this project I figure you can be big enough to pitch in a $5 spot to move this endeavor forward. My dad always told me that if I ever had a good idea to make sure that I had a second one and then a third one. The Hip-Hop Word Count is a good idea. Let’s see this thing thru.

In a relatively small window the model for the recording industry has totally shifted. This wasn’t anything gradual either. It was like tectonic plates shifting underfoot. It was like the earthquake that rattled Haiti. People are devastated. Everything they thought they understood about creating x producing x selling music has been altered and people can’t get back up.

How have music companies dealt with the ground under them being shaken? Not well. The response has been wholly reactionary and hardly progressive. And while the music industry clings to a dead dinosaur our friends at OnSmash.com rest in bureaucratic limbo. OnSmash.com is the NEW industry and this fux with the heads of the old one.

Will the artists that have directly benefited from the online machine come to the side of OnSmash.com and help defend their right to exist? PrA’li not. Hip-Hop/Rap music doesn’t have the voices that would tip the industry towards evolution. People are happy to just be collecting a check without going to jail to create a buzz for themselves. Rappers are the new slaves and OnSamsh.com and NahRight are the respective Harriet Tubman and Nat Turner of this shit.

Let my people go Department of Homeland Security. Let my people go…
