*CLASSIK N THE MAKING

fuck u

happy, sad, freezing, summer?

Ok...this may seem odd, but do we have emotions because we always had them or did we develop them outta necessity. I dont necessarily believe emotions arent important, if we aint have em life would be pretty damn grey. But still, sometimes i wish things like stupid ass people didnt have emotions. By stupid ass people, i mean people that have nothing positive to offer the world. If they werent here we'd b a lot better off.

On the other hand without these stupid ass people, we wouldn't know what makes the better emotions so good...yeah, like people in Alaska dont come out every morning and go "my god it's cold", because they may not have a warm to compare it to...maybe i'm mistaken, but i hope my drift is caught.

I think i need to think more on this and come back and write a follow up...keep an eye open.

We Made It

So I Just Voted Right...

Execution of these Lawz

Back n July, my man G Christ (yall may know him as Nate Grey, Kennef or Black Jesus) put me up on this book by Robert Greene; The 48 Laws of Power. This would become a book that i would never be able to sit down and put energy into reading from front to back. So i pretty much read it on and off, usually in between school, homework reading, running errands, living my life, and talkin to my kween.

About 2 weeks ago, i found myself reading some more of these laws after cleaning my crib (u gotta preserve ur spot yo). So i flipped thru a few pages and skipped from law 17 (what i had read up to) and landed on at the beginning of law 25 (recreate yourself)...ok it's about that time. I'm 19 years older, I'm an artist, I'm a kalij student, I'm a representative for the underpriviledged kids of DC, and it's about time I add sumfin else to that to make myself a bit more of a better off person.

Maybe it's about time i make an investment into a new craft to add onto my long list of others. Maybe it's about time i take on a new mantra to get in my zone. Maybe it's about time i splash more seeds, thas always a good investment...Healthy FUTURE. Nothing is certain yet, but i expect to make some changes as well as add some things to myself.

First thing first. My Fizikal: It's about time i get some new frames (these glasses are pissing me off...and these are the back up pair that i didnt like anyway). I'm a business student, so it's about time i step up my collection of grown man clothes (i been sayin this for the longest, sadly i haven't had too much of a surplus lately, the recession is hittin me hard like the nex guy) and sooner or later (most likely sooner than later ) i'm gonna have to chop down my goatee :-(. My eyes are gonna have to clear up too. These are just a few things amongst many that i've been concidering.

As far as the intangible changes are concerned, you'll c as i execute them at some point n the future. These changes gon b a lot more powerful especially with me involuntarily practicing law 16 up here in Philly, away from home. I'm gon read 25 a few more times for a bit more clarity. Until then the Vagabond says peace...Obama '08, get up and make change y'all.

My Umi Says Shine ur Light on the World

Skyline pt.2 (The Rulers Back)

I'm sorry, but this class is unbearable. So to allow myself to write this blog, i jus got my laptops mic on recording the lecture for later on when i got the patience to lissen to this shrill monotone voice.

So i go to look back at the Skyline through the classroom window, but she has me all figured out. The blinds are closed...that being said, i'll iPod things thru one ear (Shuffles iPod and settles on Scarface's latest album M.A.D.E.).

So the other night i was laying back on the phone with Ceph the God watchin VH1's Hip Hop Honors, and i realized something. Slick RIck was telling his story and he was decked out in a brown and lime suit, matching eye patch of course, and jewelry. A platinum link and another platinum link wit a green stoned crucifix, and i said "WTF, Ricky D aint wearin the truck gold!?!?" and Ceph's response was, "Damn I aint even notice. I was just listening to what he was saying."

I was listening too, however i think i was doing more observing than listenin. As an emcee i'm not one to judge a rapper by their pieces, but Slick Rick is synonymous with gold. After a good two decades of wearing ropes, cubans, and gucci links wit massive gaudy dinner plate sized pendants and obnoxiously loud chunky rings on virtually every finger, the Ruler could most definitely wear his weight in gold (Even chandeliers is jealous of the patch eye's glitter).

Fade to Black concert, before Ghostface went to perform his duet wit Beyonce, Rick tosses all of his gold around the Wu Tang Emcees tree bark sized neck (also known for Truck Gold) and (all respect to Ghost) it looked like it was pulling him down on stage. Back to the Hip Hop Honors show, Slick Rick graces the stage with all his jewelry on and puts on a theatrical form of his international hit "Children's Story". I dont know, maybe his lack of Jewelry during the interview is just him growing up. Maybe his neck can't take it no more lol, or maybe he feels like he's left his mark in Hip Hop's history of crown jewels.

On the Pharell Williams Gangster Grill Mixtape, Skateboard P kicks off the tape by saying " I was inspired by Slick Rick, like he used to just come on stage and shytt on niggas real quick, then wave his fingers around the world and call us crumbs n shytt, i was hurt, stunned, astounded, amazed, and dazed and confused as a child. When u look at the 'Hey Young World' video, that shytt changed my life. So when u see me rollin around here lookin like Slick Rick, you know what the fuck it's comin from." I think Pharrell jus said what i was tryna say. It's kinda hard seein one of the loudest icons in Hip Hop (shot his cuzn n broad daylight n the Bronx, and pulled off in a yellow beamer wit Ricky D on the plates, kinda movie star shytt is that?) come so humble wit such modest jewelry on. IDK if this makes no sense...i jus kno this make me wanna listen to the "Great Adventures of Slick Rick" (Controversial ass album, if i've ever seen one).

Skyline

SOUNDTRACK HERE, ENJOY:

So i'm sittin in my Accounting class...am i payin attetion at all?...No, but instead I'm lookin out of the window at the Philadelphia Skyline. Damn... I'm back in skool. Kool I guess. I jus wish class was over so i can smoke my Cohiba (I brought it from home and somehow forgot my cutter, suxx right?).

I hate when peoples voice volume doesn't match their surroundings, niggas that yell n libraries and get quiet at shows....backwards, but the professor has a huge class and her voice aint goin past the tip of her nose...whisperin ass. This is the point where my mind starts drifting (I miss my girlfriend, why don't whitney ever answer her fone, niggas b loafin, u got a charge doin what?, FUCK OUTTTA HEA!,i need some more tims it's gettin cold soon, u got the juice now, str8 from the motherfuckin slums they bust this WTC aint nuttin to fuck wit,if it brick can't stand on walls no more wut wold u aks it?, Jesus Christ had a fade and a Goatee like mine, my beard is gettin so much richer, me disrespectful? FUCK OUTTA HEA!!!, Septa sucks dick wit teeth, metro is so much better, I aint losin ur lil stupid ass challenge Camille)

My professor look like she lures lil boys n girls to her house wit a trail of candy n sweets, then she cook them...i don't even fuck wit....OMG IS THAT A FUCKIN NESTLE CRUNCH BAR!!!!

OMG i thought that writin all this woulda ate up some time, i only been in here for 10 minutes...i can't do 2 hours of this. I'm about to record a DISS track for this bitch ass class lol. Marilyn i luv u baby.

I'll holla at y'all niggas later. peace...i'm fuckin dyin man (Dave Chapelle Voice)

Floppin like Magikarp on Land

The dollar isn't worth as much as it used to be, gas is up, oil is up. Even lil shyt like cigarettes, Dutch Masters and CDs cost more. The record industry isn't selling as many records and there doesn't seem like too much promise for anybody tryna kick off a career on a major, especially in the Hip Hop Arena. No one is being built for longevity and companies are simply conforming to what the next man is doin as oppose to tryna find the hungry artists. Now the only artists selling (up to the industry's standards) are Jay-Z, the Game, Kanye, Jeezy, Weezy, and Rick Ross.

Maybe it's me, but when i look at the broader picture of the mainstream's Yung Bergs, Souljah Boys, Hurricane Chris-es and Gucci Manes it doesn't look like anyone is being built for a long fruitful career, but rather for a kwik buck in the pocket. When a ringtone, which is jus a snippet of a song, costs 2.50 and the whole song costs 99 cents, that to me is a blatant sign that the game is just fucked up. That means that for every ringtone a man sells, the next guy gotta sell about 3 singles....!??!?!?

Rapin the market, cuz that's what sells i guess. They know that these are certain artists that will never go gold, so they exploit the ringtone game and everybody wants to hear "Sexy Can I" before they answer they fones....and are sadly willin to pay 3 bucks for it.

Legends can't get promotion anymore (Redman, Ghostface, Method Man, and a few other cats on Def Jam, most of which left). Raekwon never gon drop OB4CL2, and Busta Rhymes just got dropped from Aftermath after deliverin a gold record about 2 years ago with The Big Bang and a hot single that's in rotation now (Dr. Dre is fuckin up, he ain't releasin nobody stuff. That's why everybody leavin; Joell Ortiz is hot, but Aftermath was loafin on cuz)

Goin gold used to be a proud accomplishment, now u gotta go PLATINUM PLUS before you get any recognition as a solid artist in the game. Nobody wanna sound like self no more. No one's lookin for lyricism anymore. The art can't speak for itself no more, instead u have to sound like Lil Wayne (damn...everybody had a freestyle over the a milli beat...even fuckin Chris Brown, and Ne-Yo dissin Chris on the same beat, wowwwwwwwwwwwww) and if ur a girl u gotta damn near flash ur kitten to get any "respect", then if that isn't enough u gotta constantly make that a chunk of ur subject matter while defending urself as a "respectable woman" in society, try puttin ur tits back in before u try to convince us ma.

I like the Hotstylz song, "Lookin Ass Nigga", i find it quite hillarious, but they don't have a deal. They have a ONE SONG DEAL. WTF!??! Now you can sign somebody for one song and suck them dry. What has the game come down to? I thought we had a problem when D4L replaced drums on a track for some snaps (big ups to Ceph the God for pointin that out), but now u can have an internet sensation some out of nowhere wit a ONE SONG DEAL and snatch the game up for a few months and then disappear.

Man Universal Records is fuckin up!!! I seen that the second Atlantic released 2 Plies albums before Saigon even had a solid video on the TV or a Snipe (poster) in the hood's abandonned buildings. Greatest Story Never Told won't b told told for another hot second since he left and started shoppin it to the indies. I aint mad at Plies, get ur money man, i jus so happen to think that Saigon is a better all around artist and a big breath of fresh air that mainstream music needs.

We need a scape goat...hmmmm...let's blame Limewire. Yeah, that'll do it. Nah fuck dat. The internet does hold some responsibility, but u cant put it all on them like it aint summa tha industry's fault.

I got an idea. How about u sign somebody that's gonna execute, instead of signing the "disposable artist". If they could breed somebody worth listening to I stand more than sure that the, people will not mind paying their 10-15 dollars on an album, bringin the business to where it needs to b once again.

Friends!? WTF Are Those!?

Soundtrack

I got my system hooked to my laptop, so when my alarm goes off 6 n tha a.m., it plays my iTunes. This morning it was a Styles P song and he dropped a big ass jewel that rippled thru the carpet, up my bed post and kicked me smack n the chest. Hellova wake-up rye?

"And I ain't got friends - I got enemies
So if they with me, then that means they my brother nigga"

I sat back n my bed and analyzed that for a second...i don't got to many enemies that im aware of, but i kno for certain that errbody i really get down wit is more family than a friend.

Hip, Gin, Hatmaker, G-Christ, Vitamin, Killa Marktwon, Kween Aja, Big Twinn, Fueg, Arafat, Chopps, Yamz, Nuri, C4, Big Ant, Araba, May-B and a gang of others. Yall are my brothers, sisters, gods, earths, 8 Point Sunz, Crescent Moons, all that good stuff.

If u kno me...like really kno ME, like kno Michael, u my fam. trust. if u only kno what ur allowed to see, srry. ur kinda jus there. close, but not necessarily family. If u had to question if u were family or not, chances are i dont build wit u on that kinda level. nuff said. back to this 48 Laws of Power (this goin on the same shelf wit my Bible and Qur'an)

Extremist and Let Downs

Soundtrack to this blog (vintage weezy, the weezy i like)

-no i'm not random. it's just me speaking my inner monologue. nobody told ur chump ass to lissen, so next time i speak off topik, shut tha fuck up before u make judgement.

-i hold down a kween, niggas been together for monfs, but it's still a new thing to me. sorta like i'm still adjustin to this whole relationship thing, but i'm very well aware of the situation. patience....yeah kid. i got a lot of that.

-she graduated the same day obama grabbed the spot. great day.

-how come errbody from philly on smack dvd sound the same...i was n a party and these niggas was spittin...nuffin special jus a bunch of murder, guns, drugs, pussy, and whips...nuffin that hasn't been said before. yeah guys really original.

-summ rappers should get smacked for shytt they say n they music. I fuck wit jeezy, but u had summ stupid ass lines. (u was more than family, u was like my brother....) and (im so fly if i tok off this parachute i'll fall and die) luckily he stepped his bar game up.

-summ rappers should get smacked in the mouf wit abelt for shytt they say outside of they music. Wayne can rap, but we all kno u aint no gangsta pah. (i'll kill u, and ur kids, and ur family. SU WU!!!) fuck outta here.

-what i hate more than half the shytt wayne say now is his bitch ass fans that luv errthing he says, but dont kno wut he fuckin sayin, cuz half the time now he aint talkin bout nuffin. i swear they holdin his dick for ever dear life. if they let go____________flatline. dick biters. Carter 3 is bullshyt anyway. 17 songs 6 good ones. niggas waited for 6 songs.

-i'm up to my neck in music projects that i'm knockin off like water. Magnum Opus album comin soon, AKZionz' ReAKZion mixtape comin soon, Full Metal Brothers Tape comin soon. and im doin an EP wit Banquo n Hipno.

-i saw a video of some Black Israelites mocking the holocaust on soapboxes when a Jewish kid contested them for being racist. the boy cried. I cried with him. Sad shyt. i dont kno if thats how the israelites get down for real, or if them soap box niggas are just extremists. I hope the latter. If so, they paint a very nasty picture of what following god is.

-i have 3 days until i'm home

-i miss all my brothers, i miss my sisters too, and the kween. i miss my younger gods, i miss creatin on a free reign. i fuckin hate livin on a schedule. im too much of an artist to b contained like dis. if it wasn't for my blogspot. i prolly woulda lost my fuckin mind.

-if u still lissenin to wayne turn it off. Sean Price is iller at this point n my night

Peace to Allah, the father.

I really b feelin like this kid

It's Jus Not Pretty No More...

(I WROTE THIS IN FEBRUARY 2007)

Hip-Hop is dead? No. I honestly think it's one of the most absurd things I've ever heard. Hip-Hop was just fine and dandy for everyone until Nas's latest album dropped. Now all of a sudden everybody holds a huge funeral for her.

No disrespect to the god Nas, but his album only extends on how emcees aren't real anymore. The last time I checked Hip-Hop was more than emceeing. It was a culture that consists of the other three elements of dee-jaying, b-boying, and graffiti. Though these elements aren't at the peak of where they could possibly be, they still exist.

As far as the state of emceeing is concerned, there are a large number of rappers that are rapping just because and are heavily saturated in watered down party lyrics and drug tales. But, instead of putting on a black armband for Hip-Hop, as a "real" fan you would question the longevity of the current subject matter in the music.

Hip-Hop is like a real living breathing human being--"it is subject to change". If you observe the art of rhyme, it's clear to see that it moves in cycles. In the genesis, emceeing wasn't too much about lyrical content anyway. It was loud party music just like it is now. If Chuck D never came with the politics, we would probably still be doing the wop or something like that. If Ice Cube never kicked in the door with gangster rap, we would probably still be uptight all the time talking about how corrupt the government is.

Hip-Hop is far from dead. She just got a lot of surgery and doesn't look as cute as she used to be. It's hard for me and many other people to swallow that, but it has to go down or you'll choke. I don't necessarily like where Hip-Hop is right now, but just because I don't like her as much doesn't mean she's dead. I still love her.

Me vs. Night Train at Hell is For Heroes

I Do This Shytt

I do this Hip Hop shytt. Don't start to argue with me about what Hip Hop is. I'm tired of mufuckas that don't kno shytt about Hip Hop comin' up to me tellin me what Hip Hop is. I'm a Wu-Tang fan, Saigon fan, Jeezy, Lil Wayne, Aesop Rock, Sean Price, M1 P, Kanye West, Rick Ross, Talib, Mos Def, Reef the Lost Cauze, and C-Rayz Walz fan. This goes to show my range in taste. I ain't one of those tofu eatin "THIS IS REAL HIPHOP" mufuckas. Good Musick speaks for itself. No such thing as bad Hip-Hop. This is simply the emceeing element of Hip Hop.

Don't approach me telling me who u think is hotter than the other based on sells and earning power and award nominations. there are greater emcees that im sure ur close minded ass would never hear. u judging a rapper by their awards won is like judging kids by they test scores. it's not an accurate account of lyricism/artistry. Souljah Boy is a grammy nominee and how talented is he?....really? Bow Wow is a grammy nominee (did he ever winn one? idk), but tha kid can't even write his own lines.

I can go on forever, but just kno that, i am a student of this shytt. i've been doin this since i was 14 years old. 5 years later, i've attained so much knowledge on my field of choice. if this pays the bills, so be it, but i luv tis shytt. go talk about ur spice girls or watever tha fuck u lissen to, but don't tell me what Hip Hop is or isn't or who's hot and who's not.

Kween Piece on the Board (dusted free write)

This is the soundtrack for the blog (ST dont got nuffin to do wit the blog tho...deal wit it)

...uhhh.
idk, she breathes on the fone. not like, that "DAMN BITCH STOP BREATHIN N MY EAR" breathin either. It's perfectly fine when she do it.

i kall late n she's tired...this happens far too often. Maybe i should call earlier she said...
???
Good Idea. I guess that'll work, but i sorta look forward to talkin to sleepy u, it's real as hell. I get a lot of answers when u aint really answerin...nah mena? (spelled mena on purpose)
When ur lil narcoleptic ass doze off, i let u go for a while. The silence is cool. The only thing that breaks that silence (aside from the irresponsibly loud mufuckas n my hallway) is ur breathing, not to b confused wit snoring

I like to lissen to the breaths son. it holds a certain innocence that we too old to attain anymore, but of course u miss out on it cuz ur sleeping lol .

I feel like i'm 5 again when u breathe youth in my ear. worry free, concerned wit lil ish like kool-aid bursts (remember them) and chips ahoy when they only came in the blue bag.

I guess what i'm saying is u make me feel young...that sounds gay as shytt. Well...okay i got it...
U MAKE ME FEEL FUCK FREE. I'm free to make moves, and at the same time I don't give a ____ cuz i'm 5 again. No priorities for that lil 5 minutes. then i wake u up, and ask if u wanna go to sleep.

Me: U tired?
Her:No
Me:...
Her:....
Me: WAKE UP NIGGA
Her: U'm nnnm sleepit (u should really hear urself)
Me: Luh u son
Her: Aight I'm goin to sleep...(punk ass half sleep laf) Luh u too

Then i roll over and empty my pockets n kick off my tims n doze off.
