Freeway is still rhyming harder than your average and the track was produced by Bink.
I ain’t mad at this one…

Tuesday, October 18th, 2011Caught Between A Rock And A Wall Street…
Tuesday, October 18th, 2011
Everyone’s comparing Occupy Wall Street to the protests in Egypt without understanding that the rich and wealthy in Egypt wanted a regime change so they posited the poor and disenfranchised directly at Mubarak. The rich and wealthy in America DON’T want a regime change over here. They want to keep the status quo popping off in their advantage.
The fact that Americans couldn’t see far enough to fight for their healthcare rights means they definitely won’t grasp that their quality of life has been undermined by our corporate overlords. They’ll continue to find these protestors anti-American or at best a nuisance. In the meantime and in between time someone better take a look at the social security fund.
What’s gonna happen when the police get their pensions pushed back? By then private security firms and ‘contractors’ will be on the job just like they made all the executive decisions in Iraq.
Smarten up NaS.
The Roots Come ‘UnDun’…
Tuesday, October 18th, 2011
The Roots next album will be an experimental Hip-Hopera titled ‘UnDun’ about the brief life of a young man caught up in the streetlife.
Allow me to let Questlove tell the story…
“At this point in our career we’d like for our work to have a unifying theme, and an experiential quality. We’ve been intentionally making our albums shorter in length so that they can be experienced as a continuous work. The music is band-oriented with an eye on the moody cinematic. As a DJ, I am the King of playlists, but I don’t want our albums to feel like a playlist or a mixtape for that matter. We want to tell stories that work within the album format and we want the stories to be nuanced and useful to people.
Undun is the story of this kid who becomes criminal, but he wasn’t born criminal. He’s not the nouveau exotic primitive bug-eyed gunrunner like Tupac’s character Bishop in Juice… he’s actually thoughtful and is neither victim nor hero. Just some kid who begins to order his world in a way that makes the most sense to him at a given moment… At the end of the day… isn’t that what we all do?”
Take a listen to the first leak from ‘UnDun’ featuring Big K.R.I.T. and produced by Khari Mateen – ‘Make My’

FANBOYZ UNITE! – K1 MILLY

Biggups to Chocolate Snowflake for stitching up my Dr.Doom hooded cape. I wanted to go to NY Comic Con today dressed as Doom and just geek the fux out. I stayed home instead and slept late, but next year I’m definitely doing the cosplay nerdcore shit.
NY Comic Con keeps growing by leaps and bounds to the point where it will surpass San Diego’s event for nerd authenticity. I ran into an old friend on his way into Comic Con so we chopped it up for a few.
Le Mans Lifestyle…
Friday, October 14th, 2011
Ralph Lauren is at it once again designing items that fit the lifestyle of the international man of leisure. I just went ham over the Ocean Challenge series of yachtsman apparel.
Now Polo RL is coming at me with gear from the pitcrew of the great Le Mans sportscar race.
The Le Mans Gran Prix is this famous car race held in France over 24 consecutive hours to test the endurance of the racecar and its driver.
The Polo RL Racing series has jackets and sweaters in the lineup but its this vest that has my eyes.
There’s no way I’d be able to fux with the Custom Fit XXL but thankfully Rochester Big & Tall men’s store is selling the vest too.
For those of us in the pitcrew whose six pack is from Fat Tire brew.
