‘Just To Get A Rep’


‘Check The Technique’


‘Who’s Gonna Take The Weight?’

All you need to know about Guru from Gangstarr is that one night at Mars nightclub during a TRIP party a brawl breaks out in the rap room and Guru grabbed the mic to settle people down. He had an unmistakable voice that was raspy and rough. He instantly garnered the respect of an OG with his voice and his rhymes. The fact that his rhymes were about the truth is why he is a legend.

Gangstarr is iconic Hip-Hop because they represent the powerful sounds of the voice and the drum. Just like the Roots are at the essence of everything simply Black Thought and ?uestlove, Gangstarr was Guru and Premier.

God bless Guru’s soul and give peace to his Gangstarr family.

Everytime I hear this song I will have to spit Guru’s verse.

Peace 2 Ernie Paniccioli…

Ernie P is a big fan of DP.com and one of the most understated historians of my lifetime. Is it because he has faithfully documented Hip-Hop history, as opposed to rock music or jazz? Is it because he has lived a life of talking truth to power? Is it because Ernie can be a surly curmudgeon when he senses a lack of sincerity in others?

The answer is all of the above.

I’m lucky ro call Ernie my friend even tho’ he will spit flames in my comments section over my sneaker collection or my appreciation of the 808s & Heartbreak album. Notwithstanding, Ernie Paniccioli has dedicated a lifetime to documenting the American experience for all peoples of color no matter their level of celebrity or notoriety.

I say all of this because I would like you to consider Ernie’s art if you have a few coins available to you. Ernie has several photobooks self-published on Lulu.com and I promise you they are the best history lesson you can receive on Hip-Hop.

I Appreciate Y’all…

I wondered how I might post the final drop from this decade here on the site. Could I remember everyone that I needed to thank for keeping me from stepping off the ledge this year? I could never in a million years remember everybody. Sure there was Combat Jack, Casimir and Rafi that helped me realize my value extended past the obvious. See there, I already fuxed up by naming names. I can’t ignore Meka for making the decision to come to NYC on my advice. Now I wonder when N8 will reloc8?

I have to thank Bol for giving me something to read everyday. I h8 to admit it but I am still Scottie Pippen to his Air Jordan when blogging is concerned. Since we don’t technically play for the same team any longer[ll] I suppose I am the LeBron James to his Kobe Bryant (taking into consideration his inclination for white poon) I hope he doesn’t also have to get a rape charge like Bryant, but that is what the desire of the forbidden racial nectar can do to a brother.

Mentioning Bol makes me remember the homey Carl who held me down at the X-spot and eskay who got me in the door when no one else was fuxing with me like that for real. That is why I tell people that Nah’Right is the big co-sign. They see shit before it becomes a trend or a movement. That reminds me of UnKut and RockTheDub, who both do more for Hip-Hop culture everyday than places like AllHipHop or SOHH (no offense meant, but, yeah).

And how do I thank ALL of you folks that check in with me during your daily routines, on the grizzly, at school, at home, wherever you do your DP.com thing. I appreciate y’all. This page is really yours. I just pay the bandwidth and edit the updates. Y’all truly own this page. SlumB, Grand$ and $yk. Thanks for following me on my exodus from the X-spot. Amadeo, Candice and WWIB. Thank y’all for sticking around even though I don’t nearly leave my IP fingerprints on your pages as much as I should.

Where the hell is that old ass curmudgeon Ernie Paniccioli?!?

Thank you to my sisters from ProperTalks and my longtime leftcoast love Mz.Ahmad. I really appreciate you ladies too much to mention. Thank you for fuxing with me. ADB. Thank you. LM, Christian, Tiffany, Peter, AntWill, Jerz and Gee. I SEE y’all (true confessions… I loved that Avatar shit – lol). JaiSlayer and my lil’ homey Ba’ySlayer. Thank you from the bottom of my heart my brother. You are my real life hero.

I can’t make this drop about individuals however because I will surely forget to mention someone who I consider crucial to this website. We are a group of diverse people with all sorts of backgrounds that found each other however it happened. I love to tell people that the world is a huge place, but the folks that operate under the same sine-cosine frequency is the smaller community of inter-connected networks. Y’all are truly the internets. And that is why I appreciate y’all.

Happy New Year.

Shittin’ On The Competition…

I had to run with this photo of a marathon PU~ because it makes me happy. Dude is so hardbody that he didn’t even slow his roll to drop the meatsauce. Winners stay shittin’ on they competition. I wonder if any other runners stepped in dude’s entrails juice? I discard all my sneakers that have dogziti on the sole. What am I gonna do? Put ’em back in the box?

I’ve been listening to some new music all weekend so I thought I could put it onto another podcast for you to bring with you on your mission today. There’s some rap, rock and funky vibes. Let me know what you think. As always, the Internets Show is a podcast that you created with your friendship at DP.com so salute yourselves onetime.

CheA!
