Gangsta rappers can't fight, so they rap about guns
On another note; let's take it back to my beloved hip-hop. My boys LSmoove and JoeO heard some snippets of Little Brother. JoeO said he was feeling it, but of course L was intent on hearing Common's joints. But at least I was able to explose them to something other than the norm. Because the norm is only the norm when there are no other options. Hip-hop is great music for the soul. Unfortunately, Game is getting articles now for some recent dis tracks and choice words for G-Unit. But most disengeneous (I borrwed that one so I'm citing the source here) of it all is that he claims to have been duped of some sort into coming to the truce press conference at the Schromburg. I'm usually a non-violent cat, but I felt like smacking the shT out of him for disgracing what that institution stands for by renewing the beef. And the rat costumes?! You've got to be fuqing kidding me?! Trust me people, there are good ARTISTS out there banging out some hot shT. Don't fall for the okey doke with these wack rappers getting all the attention because of their so-called hype and airplay. (Can't you just feel my frustration bubling over?) And on top of all this, I figured I'd be real civic-minded and support an around-the-way music store since I work nearby now to cop 2 albums that recently came out. Mind you, this store has some quirky operational policies, but i still felt an obligation to try 'em out again just in case. But alas, I was let down again. They didn't have Sean Price's Monkey Barz, nor did they have Buckshot and 9th Wonder's Chemistry (until I found out it got pshed back from June to july 12th). Note to self: Stop by the Virgin MegaStore tomorrow. But still try and support Funky Fresh. They carry all the latest/new albums....well most of them.

Sounds like you know your hip hop! I am sure a good percentage of your earnings goes towards music. LOL. I wish I had more earning so a good percentage of mine could go towards good shit and I could turn the radio off and pop a CD in but until now....I can only burn them. No more purchases. Like your blog. Will be back
