There is a Rumor that Earl Simmons if putting out a Gospel album. I would appreciate his delivery put to use in such a way. I think that it will be powerful, as long as he draws on the raw passion that he has.

Grooming

Study: Monkeys 'pay' for sex by grooming - Science- msnbc.co...


Japanese Macaque monkeys groom each other, sitting in a hot spring in the snow at Jigokudani Wild Monkey Park in Yamanouchi, Nagano prefecture, central Japan. Male macaque monkeys pay for sex by grooming females, according to a recent study that suggests the primates may treat sex as a commodity.

Apparently  Humans are not the only species that has to pay for Sex. Male Primates Pay for mating through the act of Grooming the female. However the Female Primate may not be this lucky all the time. This act is depending on the amount of Females in the vicinity, in which the Male has option to mate with. It is much like the College Campus in  which Males  have many more options to mate than when he is released into the general population of society.




Crossover 2008- Is Hip Hop Deceased



Here is a Hip Hop Classic from 1982 that holds Entertainment, preferably hip hop at the time, up to a Microscope. The Red Tape and the BS attached to being in showbiz is poetically laced across the track.

Is Hip Hop Dead? Has the Artform itself dwindled down to just keeping it simple? When I was introduced to Rap, it was its complexity that grabbed my attention and held it for a long time. Although I would be considered old School by my peers, for enjoying such acts as EPMD, it was about the lyrics. It is almost as if they have predicted the current status, at which the art form lives on.

Minus e a few artist; such as Jay-Z, Nas, Kanye West, Ludacris(iffy on this one), Rakim( long live the R), Mos Def, Common, Talib Kweli, The roots, Emminem( thank you for keeping true to yourself) and a few unmentioned to save time, but none the less loved. The Music, has dwindled down to gimmicks, and a lack luster approach to lyrical content.

Although we lost two of the greatest Era Defining artist of the 21st century before the millennium even hit. TUPAC AMURA SHAKUR and Christopher Wallace, has defined an era and has influenced many. However it seems that the objective by the current Hip Hop generation, is to emulate the profane language and the gangster appeal, with no moral reasoning. It is as if they did not hear the complete albums that their predecessors produced.

However ever it may be to you, Super man that **, and Drop it like its hot, its highly entertaining, and do not doubt its appeal, but if this is all that is being allowed to the masses, then their is a problem. This is basicaly the POP Music of Hip Hop, not what MC Hammer or Will Smith Produce but this, and it has a negative effect on the Global Community.

With out Further delay. True to the meaning of Entertainment Politics... Here is the Classic Crossover, Enjoy:

The  president of Def Jam has decided to step down and move forward with new ideas. The Mogul behind Rap Label Roc-a-Fella records and Rocawear clothing, has decided to call it quits as head of the Hip Hop Empire Def Jam records. Mr. Carter will focus on re-branding and realignment of his immediate projects.

There is some talk in the air about Jay-Z, going over to Apple and Working on a new digital platform to release his music and future artist. Although I see Mr. carter in debt to Def Jam for two more Albums. I see no longer less than 1 more year and no greater than 3  years, to produce two more Classic Albums.

However you see fit, the  Hip Hop; Fashion, Real Estate,  Music, Venture Capitalist . Is taking his Entrepreneur Swagger to the future. I suggest that the rest of you catch up and start stuffing your stocking for 2008, because next winter will be cold, your kids should have treats, from early planning.
