GLC and Kanye ' SpaceShip'

It is Friday and I know many people feel this way. If you happen to be one of those people who feel as if one more thing goes wrong you will blow a gasket. Then take a minute and allow the song to vent for you.

Late Class ::: Rihanna Heats up daily

There are many stars on that walk of fame and I think it that it has room for one more. Rihanna simply put, once she proves that she can grow in all directions with her music, then taking it up a notch with experimentation, she will be unstoppable. On top of that she is working with a Coach in NY to cultivate her acting chops. That will be something that I will keep my eye on, for sure.

But please tell me how sweet it is to look at her in this video. When she gets a bit more cultivated she will have more depth to her character. I look forward to her bringing that to the big screen and her music.

Look at her latest stint in the Mr. West's new video 'Paranoid'

Q-tip 'Manwomanboogie'


Q-tip never fails to drop something that is classic. His ability to remain true to himself has become the expectation. However much so that he does, he is able to push the envelope with his lyrics and being to you a buffet of thoughts every time.


Manwomanboogie should and I predict will go down in history as one that holds true. It is almost Shakespeare on beats. 


True Artist underrepresented ::: Joe Budden 'In my sleep'


Joe Budden is a rare artist in the rap genre. Without true representation, he has been able to compile his work into diverse approaches. Within his art he has been able to offer
a mixed bowl of lyrical content that is unrivaled by many of his peers. With this video he has further proven that he is a forced to be reckoned with and that
the industry does not know true artist when they see them.

This is not catchy it is real. I believe this is what the problem is. Our short term memory is so short that we need Sesame street lyrics and hooks in order to be
entertained. I guess since the majority of us are raised on such ways of learning why would out lives be any different? Joe Budden just keep cranking out
the truth, when the Hall of Fame has to announce years from now, the artist with solid work, your name should come up, minus your first album effort you will
go down in history. Keep it true and eventually the community around you will demand more.

Class is in Session ::: Saul Williams 'Black Stacy"

There are just too many artist that we ignore. Too many under the radar, and too many not given the props that they deserve. How is it that this Saul Williams can drop such good music, and all of you drop outs from life, allow this to glide past with out notice?

Get it together in the meantime peep this video.

Crate Digging ::: No Amateurs ft. B.I.G. Big L & Big Pun



No Amateurs ft. B.I.G. Big L & Big Pun is pure Hip Hop, with as much word play maneuvers as break dancing. When I came across this I had to put this out there for all of my true Hip Hop fans. This goes out to all the one and two hit makers, get your game up. It is about time that you do what needs to be done and that is write something that make sense. I am no hater, I am just making a clear observation and something needs to be done about it.

Now enjoy this track and stop your whining!!!!!

TRUE WORDS ::: DEAD PREZ 'HIP HOP'



Dead Prez "Hip Hop" is a classic that many have overlooked. But the true soldiers who have been paying attention know exactly what I getting across here. It is important that we take into account this piece of history. Not only for Hip Hop to continued growth, but for the minds of those who listen to it Black and White, and every other color in the center of the contrast.

AS THE GAME GOES :

Let me tell you a little story. The other day I am driving down Mill Ave, out here in Tempe Arizona. The top is down because it was the first cool day of the fall and our summers are hot, but the other three seasons are the best the country has to offer. Anyway, As I pass the pool hall Mill Q I realize that these two college kids were listening to some trash hop, you know that new garbage, they try to pass of as hip hop, with lame lyrical content. Now it is ok to have veriety but this shit, was not making the cut. It took no talent whatsoever. Yes it was catchy but the artist was some new comer to the game that is copying the formula but forgot to add the talent. That is the problem, they are copying instead of creating. They are doing it for the cash instead of for the love of it. They are not pushing themselve, they are just working hard at being lazy.


Listen to the vets we need the contrast of all sides.



And



And



I had to bring these videos back to the forefront.BET although I loathe them at times this was important and well executed. Although it was an execution of HIP HOP in its entirety. Which caused those with a mind to think even less of the entire genre.



I AM TIRED OF THE SAME OLD SCENARIO MOTHER FUCKERS! STOP BUYING TRASH LIKE THIS SO THAT THE TRUE WRITERS ARE GETTING THERE DUE.

I am not done yet!

Usher heats it up a bit and his wife is cool with it

To lighten the mood around here or heat it up I bring you ushers new joint.

Enjoy!




Here is what his old lady had to say:

A risque portrayal of seductive role reversal, the video shows the 29-year-old singer in compromising positions with a lithe, lightly dressed video vixen who unabashedly woman-handles a boxer-clad Usher.
Although little is left to the imagination, Foster Raymond, who is expecting the couple’s second child, stands by her man. “My husband is a consummate artist and entertainer,” Foster, 37, told ESSENCE.com. “This video is strictly entertainment and was made for his fans. I am clear that he is a sexy man and looks amazing in this clip. I support my husband in his endeavors.”
It’s been alleged that the video had to undergo several edits before being deemed appropriate for television. Most can’t recall Usher ever appearing so sexually aggressive on-screen during his bachelor days. Many blogs have hand-slapped Usher for his overt display of affection and question whether a married father and founder of a nonprofit youth foundation should conduct himself a bit more conservatively. Ironically, some of these same naysayers crucified him for choosing to be an honorable family man by marrying the mother of his child, whom he’s repeatedly defended.
Perhaps Usher has decided to remind the masses of his sex-symbol status by force-feeding the fantasies of his female fans. Whatever the reason, the public court has apparently ruled that one of ATL’s finest is damned if he does take a stand as a family man, and damned if he doesn’t.

Now just 'Listen' Talib Kweli requires it



Talib Kweli "Listen!!!" Video

I had to dig in the crates on this one.

Tracks with message :::: Goodie Mob, Nas, Rakim, Mos Def and Kanye West

Underrating or forgetting something seems to be the norm in our society. We are more attracted to the polished shoe instead of the one that last longer or the new pair forgetting how far the old pair brought us in our journeys. We tend to seek out that which catches our eyes, therefore forgetting the prime component of quality or longevity.

With an abundance of copy cat raps, and bikinis alongside mediocre music. I think many have forgotten the messages. So allow me to remind you that their is some real out there and it will not leave those who seek understanding and vibe banging tracks at the same time.


I need to start this off with a potent turn in Hip Hop.

Kanye West 'Jesus Walks'
