when i start to hate me, it's time to pull the plug

so with a few brain cells now recovered, i recall why i used the hoodlum and juelz statements before.

For starters, some people understand me just fine, but others are all too amazed and shocked that I am not a nut-hugger when it comes to Jay-Z. He has his moments, but overall he just doesn't move me...at least not like he could. But again, those that get it, get it, and those that don't will continue to worship the ground he walks on. So anyways, son has some new jonts out on the block and much talk about his impenidng return. yawn. But I was intrigued by the recent controversy and backlash regarding his visit to Ghana and now-cancelled trip to China. And all that hype about the African water crisis tour a few months back and look what became of it. A damn shame.

My man Phonte of Little Brother wrote a brief braindump about why he is doing away with his alter-ego, Percy Miracles, after stumbling acros Ms. Peachez. He always brings it raw. And always makes some very insightful observations abut life in general.

And lastly, this video (alternate link) is quite intriguing; albeit disturbing as well. It will definitely raise some eyebrows, cause some laughs, and spur some uneasy questions. With a name like, Y'all Should Get Lynched, it begs for attention regardless of how much of the song you can stomach. But it did immediately cause me to think of the Pittsburgh preacher who used to wild out on callers to his cable access show. I'm not even certain the word hypocritical even fits here. Yet, I am still scratching my head for both of them.

Ill article by Phonte. Glad he said it, and said it well. I just sat and shook my head over that whole Jay-Z bs.
