YUP!

There's nothing more refreshing (that cool refreshing drink)
Than a cool, crisp, clean glass of water
On a warm summer's day (That cool refreshing drink)
Try it with your friends

New World Water make the tide rise high
Come inland and make your house go "Bye" (My house!)
Fools done upset the Old Man River
Made him carry slave ships and fed him dead nigga
Now his belly full and he about to flood somethin
So I'ma throw a rope that ain't tied to nothin
Tell your crew use the H2 in wise amounts since
it's the New World Water; and every drop counts
You can laugh and take it as a joke if you wanna
But it don't rain for four weeks some summers
And it's about to get real wild in the half
You be buying Evian just to take a fuckin bath
Heads is acting wild, sippin poor, puffin dank
Competin with the next man for higher playin rank
See I ain't got time try to be Big Hank,
Fuck a bank; I need a twenty-year water tank
Cause while these knuckleheads is out here sweatin they goods
The sun is sitting in the treetops burnin the woods
And as the flames from the blaze get higher and higher
They say, "Don't drink the water! We need it for the fire!"
New York is drinkin it (New World Water)
Now all of California is drinkin it (New World Water)
Way up north and down south is drinkin it (New World Water)
Used to have minerals and zinc in it (New World Water)
Now they say it got lead and stink in it (New World Water)
Fluorocarbons and monoxide
Push the water table lopside
Used to be free now it cost you a fee
Cause oil tankers spill they load as they roam cross the sea
Man, you gotta cook with it, bathe and clean with it (That's right)
When it's hot, summertime you fiend for it (Let em know)
You gotta put it in the iron you steamin with (That's right)
It's what they dress wounds and treat diseases with (Shout it out)
The rich and poor, black and white got need for it (That's right)
And everybody in the world can agree with this (Let em know)
Consumption promotes health and easiness (That's right)
Go too long without it on this earth and you leavin it (Shout it out)
Americans wastin it on some leisure shit (Say word?)
And other nations be desperately seekin it (Let em know)
Bacteria washing up on they beaches (Say word?)
Don't drink the water, son they can't wash they feet with it (Let em know)
Young babies in perpetual neediness (Say word?)
Epidemics hopppin up off the petri dish (Let em know)
Control centers try to play it all secretive (Say word?)
To avoid public panic and freakiness (Let em know)
There are places where TB is common as TV
Cause foreign-based companies go and get greedy
The type of cats who pollute the whole shore line
Have it purified, sell it for a dollar twenty-five
Now the world is drinkin it
Your moms, wife, and baby girl is drinkin it
Up north and down south is drinkin it
You should just have to go to your sink for it
The cash registers is goin "cha-chink!" for it
Fluorocarbons and monoxide
Got the fish lookin cockeyed
Used to be free now it cost you a fee
Cause it's all about gettin that cash (Money)

Said it's all about gettin that cash (Money)
Johny cash (Money)
Roseland cash (Money)
Give me cash (Money)
Cold cash (Money)

Cash rules everything around me,
Move!

Say What you want about my nigga Spitta but he get's off man like this is very legit man. Wow, I have been listing to this song for about a year now, and just now, I really realized how much Curren$y got off haha WOW this is so DOPE. I love his unorthodox delivery and how this whole peace ties together joe.

Since for some reason every time I actually try to embed the video, it tells me disabled I'll do the next best thing and give you the song. Still a very powerfull song nonetheless , enjoy.

WOW!!

I will be "that guy", everyone knows him(or her haha) and for those who don't you've heard of him(or her haha) or seen them. Everyone knows "that guy(or gal)" who wakes up at 12AM, just so they can wait in a line until 5AM, for the opportunity to purchase "it". "It", lately there have been a lot of "It's" for Americans, from Yeezy's to iPad's, "it" occurs a lot in a nation where peoples budget's should be anything but liquid, but thats another conversation for another day haha, I guess that's what makes America great, we always find a way to get what we want and what we need we get from someone else haha. But back to my "it", My "it" is the ever so anticipated Madvillainy 2. I will not explain what it is because I don't have the time to express my true feelings. So to give you a small taste of what I am referring to I posted a video. Now usually I am the guy throwing darts at "that guy", but what can I say everyone has a price, and Madvillainy 2 is mine. YES I will be "THAT GUY" once this Album comes to town my friends, hopefully you are not "that guy" along side me, so the lines are shorter haha. ENJOY!!!!

I couldn't resist,

Oooh
Up, up.. up, up.. Up, Up
Up, Up.. UP, UP UP UP!!
UP!! UP!! UP!!
UP I, UP I, UP I step, UP I walk
UP I climb, to the platform
on which I await the arrival of the, black liiiine
2000 the abstract nighttrain that should be arriving
in approximately eight complete lifetimes
Do you dig that, ON, track number one
or is it my one track mind?
With the same two hundred funky people packed together
on one car that seats sixty
Reminiscent of the Middle Passage only now we, gliiiide
over oceans of steel, and at the speed of light
from the window, in my eye, I can't see
Damn! Brother, excuse me brother
Would you mind not dripping your umbrella into my lap?
Now where was I? What, change to spare?
Man you better change your mind, change your plan
change your attitude, change your ideas to change your position
As I change my seat, and I change the channel on my WatchMan
Just in time, special guest, The Roots, on the
SOULLLLL TRAIN!
John Coltrane and chinese food is my date for the night
with that woman, with that girl, with that woman
with that lady, with that woman, with that child
child I'm honey, honey-child, and I gots ta
gotta, gots ta, gotta gots ta, gots ta gotta gotta get ready
Ready ready to go, read-read to go
Going, going, going, going, going, going, going, GONE
DAMN! ...
I missed my stop.. Writters Block, hah!

Something wonderful I felt I had to relay in a different way than simply posting a video, but I will be posting the video also lol. I love this shit to be honest I don't know what serves it more justice, reading or listening. On one hand the video provides a baseline and progressive tempo and dramatic affect that can't be drawn any other way, but on another hand the reading gives a visual aspect that I find unique and helps me understand the message at my own pace instead of forcing me to keep up with the tempo the rhymes are delivered. The only thing I can bring myself to an agreement on is that it's DOPE!!

More El-P

One of my favorite ARTIST...

El-P - Smithereens from Definitive Jux on Vimeo.

If you're in the mood to listen to a true artist, someone with a superior grasp of the English language, the poetic ability to tell a story in rhyme, all tied together with a very unorthodox but successful delivery, then a trip to "Definitive Jux" Records is in order. This is because here you can find an artist by the name of El-P, and by artist I mean the epitome of artistry, from his musical to visual presentation. Now for a person to be able to compile these talents into one singular package is amazing on its own but when you also take into account the message he sends with every song, (shit ever bar) it makes his artistry even more appealing in my eyes, all I can say is pay attention and take the time to listen to his work. This is why I have the greatest respects for El-P, he forces me to think and needless to say, I am a big fan of his music and hope for more videos like this.

Black Keys...

WOW...

This is by far on the list of favorite songs ever...the Black Keys, I thirst to see them live...

WOW...

OH MY JESUS!!

When I heard, well read with my own eyes that MF DOOM!!!! & Freaking Mos DEF where coming to Chicago!!!! I was reminiscent of a 13 year old girl receiving a pony for her birthday, but today its more like a 16 year old girl with a Pink Z4 sDrive35i parked in the drive way at her super sweet 16 broad casted on a nationally televised channel, for the lack of better words "I pissed myself". Needless to say I researched to verify the credibility of the ad. I surfed the web grilled local boutique owners, even asked some of my more musically cultured peers. I mean this was a dream come true I was definitely in a very vulnerable state at this point and any form of disappointment or misleading information could have caused a great shift in my emotional stability. :-/...Honestly people would have been harmed lol...but after all things were verified, there were only two things left to do, order my tickets, and cleared my schedule. :-) YES!!!

So! I have just been hypnotized by this new "segment" shall I call it, of mini-sodes created by "Creative-control". They are simply WOW I don't have much to say but WOW lol. Surprisingly this company which has emerged from nowhere is owned by the ex co-owner of Rocafella records, Mr. Dame Dash. Real talk the only reason I know who Dame Dash is, is because I remeber a guy holding up the Roc in the back of all the Jay-Z videos. In retrospect it seems that I have not been giving Mr. Dash enoughh respect and I suspect many others haven't either, maybe its more to this man than gaudy jewelry and loud mouth. I mean there must be if he was able to co-own a multi million dollar record label with a rapper :-/. Maybe Dash ran the show and Jay-Z was just a figure head!?!? Hmmmmmm....lets wonder together...



"I wanted [Rocawear] to be sold at Bergdorf Goodman's, not Dr. Jay's!" - Dame Dash


I strongly advise Following this link...I have no suggestions because I feel all the videos are crack (the good kind lol)

"That straight techno boogie down jazz ass shyt..."

I have recently started listening to THEOPHILUS LONDON and "the nigga is dope" lol. I have noticed that LONDON and Kid Cudi have alot of parallels in their style, because of their different approach to music but so far I'm feel LONDON alot more idk jus my opinion. I feel LONDON has this "club banga techno meets boogie down jazz ass" feel, along with far superior lyrics compared to Cudi(Cudi simply cant spit to me). So far I have heard 5 tracks by this guy and am already deeming him my favorite "abstract artist". I have always had a problem with enjoying Cudi because of substantially below par lyrical element he brings to his music and thanks to LONDON I now have an excuses to push Cudi to the side. However I still believe his album was really nice and the song "Mr.Solo Dolo" is simply one of those exceptions to the rule, but overall I'm feeling LONDON way more.

MF The Great!

I have always been a Doom fan, but Mos def just opened my eyes even wider to what this guy was really saying. I have always found a meaning in certain bars from Doom but I see now that I must take head to every word this guy spits out lol. Doom the Great!

"I'd beat a million dollars on doom against Lil Wayne...."

Hmmmmm......

Yes!

The Foreign Exchange feat. Muhsinah - "House Of Cards" from The Foreign Exchange on Vimeo.

Ahhhhhhhhhh... must have!

Yes I do still buy CD's (at least the CD's that are worth my 13.99 and that high ass Chicago sales tax lol). But in my opinion the Asher joint "Asleep in the Bread Aisle" is a much easier listen than "Blueprint 3". I'm defiantly not stating that "Asleep in the Bread Aisle" is a better album but, but I myself listen to it way more than I listen to BP3. I think HOV is an aquired taste much like that of a fine wine and caviar, you know you have to grow to love it and take the time to actually savor the taste. While Asher is the junk food, you know nice and simple not to complicated, real tangy or sweet straight to the point. Now depending on who you are you might choose sides, I'm not doing that, I'm simply saying their different but at the same time both fufilling my musical hunger....Yea thats what I'm saying lol

Mr. Solo Dolo

What can I say about Cudi, as an Mc he is, Weak? Yea weak, but as far as his overall music and the concept of his songs/video's he is in another world I must say. The creativity of his music is what keeps me interested, I must say I imagined his album as being a total fail, but idk now maybe his creativity can stand alone without the usual lyrical content im so drawn towards. So now I must take more tracks into further observation. But as far as Mr. Solo Dolo it gets a 9-10, but if this is the official video then I'll be forced to give a 10-10. I must declare this Video of the month.

What does Music do to you?

So the question is, do I love music? But first I must define music right? So let's just be brief and say music is an artistic expression in the form of sounds. OK, what is art? A creative expression of one's feelings and past events. OK, what is sound? We're just going to wing it and say waves transmitted through matter in the form of frequencies that slide in your ear, and vibrate, which transmits a message to the brain... so now the question is.... Why do vibrations make life so enjoyable?? IDK really... maybe because the moral of my story is that music makes love to your brain resulting in an "Eargasm?"! Don't you love it?

Today Is a Good day....

Over the last........ can I say 2 months I have been expanding my horizons on this Hip-hop shit. To be honest, I gave up on "Hip-hop"(minus the old Faithfull's Wayne, Kanye, Lupe, Jay-Z etc...) a while back and saut out alternative sounds for my music fix, i.e. Jimmie Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Jasmine Sullivan, John Legend, Beatles, System of A Down, Beethoven (Moon Light Sonata go hard), Ella Fitz, even the fucking JUNO soundtrack lmao; and I could go on and on even more lol.

Anything to patch the hole "pop/dance-rap" carved in the music portion of my sole.

BUT today is a new day (Brace yourself), actual music is back in Hip-hop. These artist actually care about their music and not just a million dollar ringtone or maybe they just cold, I don't know and do not care because good music is good music. Wiz Khalifa, Wale, Drake, Big Sean, Fly Union, Clipse, Mf Doom, Dom Kennedy, Asher Roth, just to name a few(well the ones I can remember)...

I think if you don't know about these artist PLEASE give them a listen and TURN OFF B.E.T!!!

*If you dont know how to find their music copy and paste a link and type in any of their names (Now you have absolutly no reason at all to even turn on B.E.T).
