DJ Brainchild from the Roots jam Sessions goes in with Phonte for the latest version of Gordon Gartrelle Radio.
DJ Brainchild is the dude that put me on to Marsha Ambrosious ‘Cloud 9’ and Phonte needs no introduction.
Fux with this podcast…

A few notes on the list above…
We’ll all just assume that Flint, Michigan is considered part of Detroit.
California places three(3) entries. Good job Schwarzenegger.
Columbus, Dayton and Toledo are not on the list. Ohio must be getting better.
Missouri is TOO small to place two(2) cities on the list.
Now you see why New York rap has been in the shitter.
^Peep the Talibeezy dude rocking the Space Jam Jordans. Dressed to kill you might say.
The Clone Wars series has been a revealing look into the occupational planning of regimes that seek to “save” sovereign governments and remove the destructive elements from within those nations. It’s impossible for the occupiers to separate the good guys from the bad since they are unfamiliar with the lands they are stationed in. Ultimately, even the people that could have benefited from the occupying forces become a resistance force because their culture becomes torn asunder from outsiders.
The escalating Afghansitan War is just like the planet Mandalore that the Galactic Republic wants to put under its thumb. Galactic forces are moving to occupy Mandalore and that threatens to end the generation of peace that the once perpetual warring star system is now living under. The Galactic Chancellor secretly wants this outcome because he wants the Mandalorians to be anti-Republic since that would also make them anti-Jedi. Life always imitates art when you aren’t paying super close attention.
The objective of the United States in Afghanistan still isn’t completely clear to me. The nebulous notion of ridding the region of Taliban forces in laughable. The Taliban is everywhere, and still no where. Afghanistan doesn’t represent a strategic staging point to the middle east in my eyes, but what do I know. I dropped out of an NYC high school. That’s like saying that I failed gym class (and I did). If you look at the Persian Gulf War, the Iraq War and the Afghanistan War the U.S. has a decade plus of fighting in the desert.
And why are my gas prices still going up?
Sean P is fearless when expressing the 7:30 aspect of the rap game. He is the man on a wire, deftly balancing himself on a tightrope suspended between the Twin Towers.
This track was something he had on the harddrive, but he didn’t have a project to attach it to hardbody. I asked P if I could get it just to fux with it. There’s enough space on the back end of this track for two or three emcees to go in, but who could match the maniacal flow of Sean Price? What rapper has the moxy and skills to talk about hallucinogens?
If you know that rapper pass them this .mp3
