God Doesn't Build In Straight Lines via 

Why are pyramids denied? There are pyramids on every continent. China most famously denounces they have pyramids by claiming that they're burial mounds. Even though they can be clearly seen using Google Earth. There are pyramids built where there are now oceans. They show that as species we date far earlier than any government feels comfortable acknowledging. They show that we were connected far before what history calls the dawn of civilization. There are pyramids under tons of snow which can again be…Read more

The Imfamous  

What is it about the bad guy we love? I was watching the movie Blow last night and found myself wishing that ended in Acapulco. At that point Boston George had it all... His true love...loyalty from his crew... Money and a low profile. But it wasn't enough. I watch Menace to Society but turn it off after the going away party. I really look away when Tony kills Manolo in Scarface. I the movies the bad guy loses everything better t that's not always the case in real life. Joe Kennedys sons became damn near…Read more

My Thoughts on God Forgives I Don't 

Is it his best work? No. Is it good work? Hell yeah....but he's changed. Lyrically you still get the cocaine daggers and feathery flow but he changed the formula. I had to listen two times to appreciate it b/c I was searching for those beats. You know the beats that draw you into the speaking where you can drown in a blue dream of sounds and really appreciate what he saying. Now the beats aren't bad, they dope but just not what I need from Ross in a heavy dose. Also, I didn't know how to feel about the…Read more

The Walking Dead 

 Savages. The Midseason finale (wtf, where they do that at) of The Walking Dead was just crazy. You have people that easily killed the zombied family of their  host Hershal buck couldn't lick a shot at Sophia. They should be kicked from Eden. But then AMC just probably did that with a midseason finale. Death by hiatus. I've seen to many a promising show and by my account this one has promise. It's not a love sick story of vampires that glitter but its great sci-fi. And sometimes great sci-fi can be just the…Read more

Rick Ross the Bawse 

 I love good music therefore I appreciate artists that make good music. I like Rick Ross. I understand that he was a C.O. and that the coke stories are closer to fabrication than to actual facts but still, I like Rick Ross music. That cat has a great ear for picking tracks and he rhyme's very well. (And for the record, not Biggie or Pun well, but well.) Over the years I have come to over stand two very important things that I'd like to share about music. 1) Most artists are not the people you actually…Read more

Hip Hop and Hollywood 

I think they are both declining for the same reasons...recycled goods. Even if Robin Hood is a success how many times do we really need to see a visual for the same movie. Maybe this is a bad example but think of all of the retread we're being forced to consume as opposed to getting to see that fresh fresh stuff the inspires creativity. Just look at tv. How many good shows get cancelled b/c the networks don't know what they're doing. Example 1. Flash Forward. You air a new series, get great ratings then…Read more

Field of Dreams 

Last night I was looking at the little blip you clicked on to enter the site and realized that for years I've figured that talent is enough. That if I built a site and put the music out there without doing the little things that people would come. Silliest shit I've ever thought of seriously. So what's the next step...treat the gift like a curse and grind the hell out of it. I love music and the world too much to not be an active part of it. I have read to much, done too much and seen too much to be just…Read more

by nature, I'm an a**hole but at least I'm honest 

I don't really speak to people that Idon't like and I don't like many people. So I'm always a little confused by people that speak to me that I know don't like me...See I don't care enough to do the same so it's like why bother cause fake love is pretty much just hate in a nice way. Now sometimes I wonder what I did to em but again just don't care enough to ask. Life has just taught me that its hard enough being trapped in skin to let it get so thin that every little thing penetrates it. That's how people…

If a Tree Falls and No Ones There 

 Site traffic. I view it like music. People will come when you give them a reason to come. So, when I look at these blogs I write and see the lack of responses it doesn't bother me the way my ego says it should. I've been recording music for over 15 years and rhyming for over 25. And in that time I've spit some of the best and worst shit ever. There's a song I did when I was 16 called Funkadelic Mizfit. Not one of best joints. But back then it was fire to me. To contrast that I have about 70 songs that bar…Read more

Death- Common Ground 

Mourning...some write, some reflect internally, some simply cry outwardly.

Michael Jackson - R.I.P. I started out performing for family as Michael Jackson and fell in love with the stage performing as him in talent shows. If Yah had given me the gift to sing as opposed to the gift of rhyme I'd have been one of many little MJ clones. That's how I chose to remember you...I pray your funeral today doesn't get out of hand.

Steve "Air" McNair - R.I.P./ A lot of people kick the dead when they're down, so to…

The Cassie pics....Good Promotion or Bad Ex boyfriend...Who cares 

So let's cut to the chase. I am one of the biggest fans of the feminine form that probably has ever walked the Earth. Visually there is nothing on the planet a beautiful as a naked woman. In fact, she can have clothes on.  I've seen enough through life fill in the blanks. So no, this isn't from the pesrapective of a dirty old man...however call it what you like. Women are beautiful period.

Now to the Cassie pics. In one simple word, beautiful. I'd never really paid much attention to the young lady as all…Read more

The laws of man 

I value life on all levels... from animals to plants. We're all tied to this ball so I can understand anger or dissappointment ofver the lose of any life. However, I find it offensive  to the laws of man that a man can kill another man and /or child and be treated with less contempt, socially and legally, than a man that killed three dogs. What do you think?

What Is Hip Hop? 

I have no clue but I love it. I use to freestyle in chicks ears on the phone, that was just part of the conversation. I love it. Its my release, its the way I communicate the thoughts that when spoken in conversation get you labeled crazy as hell. But I can't define her. So, I'm not here to save her, or try and be anything that I'm not. I'm just a man, that happens to mc. I'm not the best man, nor the best mc, nor perhaps the best anything. I'm not a thug or a crazed insane ganster or even a noble warrior…Read more
