Inspectah Deck’s Manifesto…

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

manifesto

Inspectah Deck has written some of the rap music lines that I use most often in my life, from the classic survival song ‘C.R.E.A.M.’ to my spaceship anthem ‘Triumph’, Deck isn’t the face that you see when you think of the Wu-Tang Clan but he is backbone that the Clan uses to stand tall.

Inspectah Deck’s latest album ‘Manifesto’ drops tomorrow March 23rd, 2010. Rebel I.N.S. gave me a few minutes to tell me about this project and let me quote some of his rhymes to him while we chilled in the New Era store.

Beats, Rhymes, Life Radio…

The Bring Your Own Blogger BBQ was exec-produced by my brother GUDTYME.

He was the cat from the ‘hood that made it into the game and he let everybody eat from his plate because he wasn’t a greedy dude. He brought me to mad exclusive functions and gave me a glimpse of what happens on the BUSINESS side of the game. Guds stressed to me that the word business was twice as long as the word show. Guds also told me that there would be a no smiling rule in effect from here on in.

I’m extremely indebted to Guds and I hope that y’all would treat him as you have treated me. When I needed to get on a day job that accepted my years of experience living in the city and allowed me to be conpensated for that knowledge despite my lack of credentials and even my criminal record, Guds helpeed me get on for that as well. Guds homepage on the web is The Gud Word. Bookmark that for me.

I fell thru a session of Beats, Rhymes and Life Radio, the weekly program that Gudtyme hosts along with DJ RPM(Rumplestilskinz) and DJ INFMATIK. I need to learn how to speak into a microphone better, but the music these dudes are spinning is all classic Hip-Hop. Let this podcast just play out while you surf the web.

New Balance Iz $yk Widdit…

I fux with New Balance. They have one of the most progressive manufacturing processes in the sneaker game. With plants in England and in the United States its hard to hate on a brand that keeps Americans employed.

$ykotic is doing drops with the OG homey at B-BoyCult.com and he has an official post giving props to the New Balance brand.

Sean Price says that rocking New Balance is like rocking the Karl Malone L.A. Gear that light up in the heel. Emphatically 14-15. I disagreed with P until yesterday.
