OK, so these aren’t so much disco as soul-jazz… it don’t really matter though because I take my lessons from the GOP, and I’ve learned that being straight forward isn’t good business.

Lesson 777: Any decision made out of fear is a bad decision. End of story.

It was all a dream
I used to read Word Up magazine
Salt’n’Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine
Hangin’ pictures on my wall
Every Saturday Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl
I let my tape rock ’til my tape popped
Smokin’ weed IN BAMBU, sippin’ on private stock
Way back, when I had the red and black lumberjack
With the hat to match
Remember Rappin’ Duke, duh-ha, duh-ha
You never thought that hip hop would take it this far
Now I’m in the limelight ’cause I rhyme tight
Time to get paid, blow up like the World Trade
Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner
Peace to Ron G, Brucey B, Kid Capri
Funkmaster Flex, Lovebug Starsky
I’m blowin’ up like you thought I would
Call the crib, same number same hood
It’s all good

Uh, and if you don’t know, now you know, nigga, uh

One of the best rhymes even put on wax. Period.

For fucks sake. This goddamn fucking shit crashed and everything I had up for today is gone. I was moments away from publishing, and zap…nothing left. I’m not redoing it. I’m just going to leave this here and walk away… Gil Scott-Heron And Jamie XX – We’re New Here is maniacally brilliant.  In short, honest, unromantic prose, it’s one of the best albums I’ve heard in years. Bring it home [zip / rar]

We’ve done it again! Tunawax is the 2011 Intercontinental Dryhump Champions. But rather than hold it over your heads, we’re giving back…Finely picked dance tracks to go cotton to cotton with.

The only thing that didn’t somewhat irritate me this morning. I think you’ll agree that it’s absolute heat, and if you leave your avocado laying around, I’ll eat it. A bit of tha ol’ ultra electro.

“If you want to live your life in a creative way, as an artist, you have to not look back too much. You have to be willing to take whatever you’ve done and whoever you were and throw them away. What are we, anyway? Most of what we think we are is just a collection of likes and dislikes, habits, patterns. At the core of what we are is our values, and what decisions and actions we make reflect those values. That is why it’s hard doing interviews and being visible: As you are growing and changing, the more the outside world tries to reinforce an image of you that it thinks you are, the harder it is to continue to be an artist, which is why a lot of times, artists have to go, “Bye. I have to go. I’m going crazy and I’m getting out of here.” And they go and hibernate somewhere. Maybe later they re-emerge a little differently.”

— Steve Jobs to Playboy in 1985

bombpop colors are the bomb

I can forgive Alfred Nobel for having invented dynamite, but only a fiend in human form could have invented the Nobel Prize. – George Bernard Shaw

I can’t really fit this one in anywhere but first. So a slow start today, but amongst all the madness it’s alright. Clearly emphasizing the real genius of The Pixies… songs.

Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements – the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution and for life – weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way for them to get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be here today. – Lawrence Krauss

Its been a while since J5 has been tolerable after they overloaded us by all rhyming with the same syncopated rhythm on every song . Q-tip… um…what the fuck did I just write??? Christ. I’m losing my mind. Fortunately Lowman makes it all ok again.

I want to give credit where credit is due, but I’m not really sure where credit goes on this song. Obviously Derek B is on the “Good Groove” vocals here. But is this T.Rice’s beat? A mashup? Remix? Remash? Whatever the case may be… this is a super smooth jam for super smooth jamming. smooth… jamming…

Mark this as (I believe) the first time I’ve ever posted a soundcloud player thing. Not something I do for a few reasons. 1.) It’s fucking lazy. 2.) It’s fucking lazy. I guess it’s better than Myspace tho.

but I’m breaking down today and posting this song because I like quality tunes, and also because I want to support small labels that are actually putting out quality tunes. I know this is quality because despite the inconvenience of not being able to download it and put it onto my audio cue, I still wanted to listen to it in all it’s poppy glory. So heres to Lanu ( aka Lance Ferguson – guitarist & chief songwriter for The Bamboos ) for going a new direction with fresh-air springtime flavor. The song is off of the album ‘Her 12 Faces’ due out on March 7th.
