Tuesday, May 31st, 2011
Bill Sienkewicz is the GOAT comic cover artist
Don’t ask me how I got into a TWitter conversation with Sean Price about Dazzler?!? Ruck is on his comicbook steez even harder than his sneaker fiending.
If I was writing a Dazzler movie I would cast Blake Lively as Dazzler.
She has a pretty mouf.
In this Dazzler movie her superpower is to blow a nigga’s mind.
Literally.
GOODNIGHT, SWEET PRINCE…

REST IN POETRY GIL SCOTT-HERON
THANK GOD 4 GIL SCOTT-HERON…
I caught this video series over at M-Spekt’s website. I was so blown away that I almost got some dust in my eyes. GIL SCOTT-HERON has been one of my heroes for such a long time and to learn that he was also inspired by JOHN COLTRANE and LANGSTON HUGHES was such a shot in my arm this weekend.
We sometimes don’t think to make the connections to the artists as activists because of how commercialization has watered down so many of the messages. Let it be known that GIL SCOTT-HERON chose to be a prophet over making a profit from his creative talent. He was so far ahead of everyone else because he was so human.
GIL SCOTT-HERON reminds me of my father because of the truth to power that he is unafraid to speak. He was right out in the front of dissension when the government sought to silence the people that protested the war in southeast Asia and the war on the poor here stateside. GIL SCOTT-HERON paid the price 10x over with his own battle with addiction.
I don’t find myself in a temple or church too much nowadays but I find different ways to thank GOD for gifting me these breaths. Before you go out today watch some of these video clips and become truly amazed for the man that GIL SCOTT-HERON is and maybe even find the challenge through his words to become the person that you want to be.
Thirstin Howl 3rd – Polo Grounds (Mixtape)
Thursday, May 26th, 2011
Lo-Life founder Thirstin Howl 3rd takes you on a flashback journey thru the racks and stacks of old New York City with the Polo Grounds mixtape. It’s like a musical autobiography recalling the genesis of the Lo-Life movement.

SNW FTW…

Smif N Wesun’s new project with Pete Rock is more than monumental. It is historical. SNW is so representative of their label DuckDown because they haven’t left the game. I’m sorry that I never look at SNW at one of rap’s greatest all-time duos because they haven’t left rap alone, the game needs them.
The game needs this album. Pete Rock’s percussion driven sound is a perfect match for the hard lyrics which Tek And Steele employ. This is the kind of music you listen to on your Sony Walkman with the headphones that have scotch tape holding them together. But it doesn’t sound like 1992 rap music. You just happen to still have a cassette player with scotch taped headphones.
The Monumental album is more like a house party for rappers who spit hard shit hosted by the Cocoa Bruvas. Ruck and Rock from Heltah Skeltah come over to party at different times. So does Styles P and Freeway. Memphis Bleek has a feature on this album and it might just be his hardest verse evar. This is backpack hoody rap for the grown ups and kids alike.
DuckDown Records will own the month of June with the release of the Random AXE album, Skyzoo’s mixtape ‘The Great Debaters’ and this monumental Smif N Wessun x Pete Rock collaboration.
