Riding with the chopper, like it’s my friend Read the rest of this entry »

“I ain’t trying to be one of them dudes
That makes hundreds of new songs and none of them are good
Some of ‘em are cool, but they ain’t say nothin’ new
Runnin’ though a verse just for something to do Read the rest of this entry »

“I wonder when you die do you hear harps and bagpipes
If you born on the other side of the crack pipe
Niggas learn math just to understand the crack price
Then dive in head first like a jack knife Read the rest of this entry »

If you ever find yourself having to explain to an alien what exactly gives Hip-Hop its distinctive voice, all you have to remember is that the power is in the words. Unlike nearly every other genre of music where melody and vocal influxes play a huge factor on the quality of song, a rapper’s biggest assets is what they say and how creatively they can say it.

“The reason that they say I’m nothing what they seen or heard

“Say she hate it when I’m super faded
Loaded, only notice her body rather her conversation

Panties on the premises Read the rest of this entry »

“My cousin hit me up and said he had to post bail again
‘Cuz my brother back in jail again
Back in that slave ship ‘cuz he tried to sell again
And all that’s going through my mind is ‘how the f*ck am I failing him?’

What makes a movie memorable in my book are the quotes it produces. Why do you think I mention the greatness that is Paid In Full at every opportunity? In terms of Hip-Hop, a person would be hard pressed to find more motion pictures more influential than The Mack. Read the rest of this entry »

“I got my mind on my money while I’m clocking dough
I kill that show then I’m adiós
I’m walking the talk that you’re talking about
Gotta n*gga feeling like the man in the town

Saigon already picked his poison. His decision to be a torchbearer and flag-waver for the culture is the road less traveled when you only have one shot to make it. That shot may have resulted in thousands of days waiting in limbo, but those who experienced The Greatest Story Never Told know the wait only blessed Hip-Hop with the kind of product that has been lost in this current state of music.
