Special guests Sean Price and Dee-1 on the show. I’m taking a hiatus from the Combat Jack Show while I work on making my dreams come true. The Combat Jack Show is still that ish and you should stay logged on.
The Watch The Throne album is like drugs to some people who haven’t seen the world yet, and to others who know what drugs do its message tastes like poison.
A Clockwork Orange is one of my favorite all time books along with the autobiography of Malcolm X. The unedited version with Burgess true ending is deep. It reminds me of a song from Funkadelic titled, ‘If You Don’t Like The Effects, Don’t Produce The Cause’.
