the hiphop maniac, the uptown brainiac...

well, january HAS had its moments...

see, we are all twenty three year oldz. twos on yr right and threes on yr left. throwed up for EMJAY.


tree city famlay crafted some tunes and put on a rap performance. the gods were definitely out. pause.


queen laqueefah was forced to bite snuggie's patented style.


this guy at the bar dressed his hands up like twins.


and felipe went all city in the target parking lot.

prodigy...

of MOBB DEEP. not 'firestarter' prodigy, dummy.

this has been confusing to people on the internet. amazon customers, specifically. here are a couple funny reviews of RETURN OF THE MAC... SORRY SO BLURRY.








and this one...










what a fucking nerd.

i remember about a year ago watching some dudez smash up a car while listening to "firestarter"... and i thought, "i wish they were playing 'keep it thoro'."
.................................................................

anyway, since prodigy is my horsebird blogspiration, i thought i'd post a few of my favorite prodigy videos.

MAC 10 HANDLE


NEW YORK SHIT.


ABCs.


and finally, KEEP IT THORO.


this is only solo prodigy shit, obv. stay healthy. get out of jail soon.

LARD...

i wrote a sixteen for this remix that my buddy GLOOM is doing. LARD (as in a southern dialectal pronunciation of 'lord') is the title of the instrumental. so i took it and played on that... hot sixteen! hot sixteen!

O LARD!... ON SOME SOUTHERN RURAL LIVIN
TO FIND THE trilo-BIBLE WITH THE SPINE THE SIZE OF CHILDREN'S
I'M WITH GLOOMINATI TAKING SHOTS OF PISS AND VINEGAR
AND I CAN SMELL THE MALT LIQUOR LINGER OFF THE MINISTER
GODDAM!... HOLES, HOLES IN HIS HANDS
'LARDY' BE THE MERCY CALL, THE BLOOD HAS LEFT THE LAMB
SORDID SLOWDRIP, RUBBER GLOVES AND WOODEN BUCKETS
TRYING TO BAG IT UP AND FLIP IT FOR DIAMONDS OR DUCKETS
TRANSFER OF THE PRODUCT, TURNING BLOOD OF GOD TO BUTTER
XEIlaRUESKI CHURNS IT PROPER, DEADING BISQUIT LEGAL NUMBERS
A SACK OF LARD IS PURITY, THEY PRAISE DIVINE FORCES
ON ALL FOURS, BETWEEN BREAKING TALLOW-COVERED HORSES
HORSE HOOF AND MOUTH, GETTING GULLY IN THE SADDLE
SCREAMING 'GALLOP YR WINGS!' WHILE FEEDING THE BEAST APPLES
TRAVELING THE PLANE TO CAST THE LARD'S SHADOW BOLD
AND MELT IT INTO FAITH FROM THE BLAZE OF SUN'S GOLD

triflin. you can find gloom HERE.

somalia...

i haven't really liked anything else k'naan has done, but this is a good rap.
a country, city ode to to somalia, mogadishu. somailian pirates...

so what you know about the pirates terrorize the ocean
to never know a single day without a big commotion
it can’t be healthy just to live with such a steep emotion
and when I try and sleep, I see coffins closing

conflict...

r. kelly. SEX IN THE KITCHEN.
toms, fruits, veggies, taters.


japcity. PUT THAT BUDDY UNDER THE JAIL.
the fuck is up with this dude's name?

revenge of the nerds...

the god, arnold poindexter, of tri-lam asks the earth from omega mu...

"wait - would you rather live in the ascendancy of a civilization or during its decline?"

............................................

weird full circle of an imperfect, internal kenny bloggins...

TRUMPET THE BEAST AND BURDEN IT BRINGS//

MEMORIES OF DECADENCE

............................................

PLUS! nothing to do with anything. check this new scarface video. hot hot hot hot hot hot...

thanks for the tip, g-wiz. PAUSE.

no more...

i maxxxed out.

3rd bass on the second date...

GAS FACE.

all things good about this video: a detailed explanation and history of 'the gas face'. flavor flav. sub roc (r.i.p.). gilbert gottfried. serch's '3rd bass' clipped hair. serch's weird, problematic verse on racism. kmd. zev love x. mf doom. multiple hammer disses.

STEPPIN TO THE A.M.

the intro really sets it off- serch reveals his newly clipped hair and pete nice pokes his head out of a train and throws a dookie rope out the window. 'how you livin hobbes?!?!'

BROOKLYN-QUEENS.

AGAIN. the intro is goddam classic! serch calling pete nice 'coca'... NEwayz, other highlights include mc serch referring to dude as a 'retard sportin a four finger ring'. three is perfect, four is just overkill, dummy. BONUS! this jam includes several racial stereotypes.

bill NYE...

love em. can't get enough of em. i took this right after i had breakfast number two of the day. it followed breakfast number one from earlier that day at the runcible spoon and was preceded by breakfast number three at waffle house the morning of the new year january first twothousandnine.

violence.

ear jordanz.
earRING in 2009 with jordan. you only celebrate new years while 23 once.
