Some shit
I don't really have much to say...
I recently got this 12 with mr. live and tony bones. I'm not
sure when it's
from but I know it's somewhat new. anyway, what's up with mr live
existing?
he's fucking wack and why does tony bones always appear as a featured
artist?
he's mad nice. I've been saying he's mad nice since 94...he's
the only mc I
know who could flip a verse on a dumb ass subject like boning
monica lewinsky
and make it dope. someone needs to put tony bones on, for real.
he'd blow up
like eminem without all the controversy (he's british, not white).
is it me or is masta ace been keeping busy lately? that motherfucker
has been
dropping more records then kool kieth lately. the nice thing is,
they aren't
half bad.
i think manny fresh is my favorite hip hop personality. always
happy and he's
the only egg shaped mc who rhymes strictly about the ladies. you
know how I was
dissing mc's who smile? I take it back...some people have reasons
to smile. in
manny fresh's case, he's mad paid. I think now my beef is with
mc's who are in
their video's looking off into the distance and pondering
life...eh..kweli...cough cough...
it's like on that show "cribs". how come every person
on it has that one space
where they go to "reflect". what the fuck is that? have
you ever said "yo,
i'mma go down to the pond and reflect for bit, i'll be back in
an hour". if you
have, kill yourself.
aesop's new album is almost done. we need to so like 4 more joints
and it'll be
complete. illogic and c-raze wallz are schedualed to appeared
with maybe a few
other suprises. from what i've heard there will be two singles
from the album
(each will have some unreleased shit on there). so, keep an eye
out...in about
8 months.
later tony
Some new shit i heard: 10/24/2000
a few tings...
I got some new wax...furst off, the new pacewon 12 is dope. yo,
these beats he
made are fucking ill. Why is it that I can pretty much always
listen to pace?
he's not really dope but he's fun to listen to. if you like "i
declare war"
pick this shit up.
the new lord sear jint...the a-side is prettyw ack but the b-side
"ya mouth
stinks" is funny shit. I think he actually wrote the rhymes
too... lord sear
should do beats for people. he doper then most heads getting work
nowadays.
also, i heard a song by canibul ox and el-p that will most likely
not be
getting on either of their albums. too bad..the shit is dope.
Vast kills it.
"can ox will bite your face and leave you standing like 'where's
my nose?' then
were burning your show DAT"
And finally, what do you know about Blueprint? He in the weightless
crew and
he's from ohio and his new shit is the dopest stuff I've heard
in a long time.
He makes beats but for this project he's just rhyming and RJD2
is making the
beats. let me say this...I've heard about 8 joints they;'ve done
and EVERY
SINGLE ONE has been dope. at worst, really good. Blueprint , as
an mc, reminds
me of monch when he was in his prime. I mean somewhere between
fudge pudge and
the bring it on remix. he's ill. RJD2 makes me never want to make
beats again.
for real...his tracks are just too dope for my brain to process.
so, I don't
know when these songs are dropping but lok out for them. i think
the name of
their group is "soul providers" ( I could be wrong though...).
wow, that was a positve post...
later tony
Thought on shit...: 10/11/2000
"cocaine, yeah it got me addicted,
saw a dead cat on the street so i hugged it and licked it"
gangsta nip is on some shit...
anyway, My birthday way on sunday (24 yall!) and I got a new
stereo system.
which is good cause now i have two working tape decks and my cd
player doesn't
skip anymore. The reason i bring this up is cause i notice whenever
i get a new
peice of music listening equipment, be it a walkman, stereo, whatever.
I find
myself going through all my music and listening to shit on it
to
see how dope it sounds" on my new shit. well, the new stereo
is chilling.
I also happened to pick up the new MOP album on the same day.
needless to say
it got bumped. some thoughts on the album:
fizzy womack (aka lil fame) can make some hot ass beats. "cold
as ice" is the
joint. mad hard.
i need to listen some more but overall, i'm loving this album.
my biggest
problem is that they may have made too many joint. 19 MOP cuts
is a bit much to
handle in one sitting.
I also picked up the new E-rule single out of curiosity. "synopsis"
was my shit
back in the day. well, the new shit is pretty blah. the beats
are pretty boring
and he's not anything sppecial. not the worst shit but pretty
mediocre.
I'd say right now mack 10, jermaine dupri, and ja-rhule are the
three worst
things in hip hop. I mean come on...dupri must feel like a dickhead
putting on
a 9 year old mc who is doper then he ever was
(and alsmost taller).
anyone peep some of these new MTv shows? jackass is crazy. skateboarders
do not
give a fuck, do they?
That show "cribs" kinda bothers me a little. Master
p's crib is the illest
shit i've ever seen. he's got his own lake to "sit and reflect"
at.
I love when musicians have oil paintings done of them for there
own homes.
that's some corny shit right there. master p had like 5 lining
his hallway.
What's up with "fear"? it's almost scary. kinda like
blair witch but
realer...yeah, ok. They need to show that shit less if it's going
to be an hour
and half long. The only thing i need to see on MTv that's over
a half hour is
"scared straight". that shit is classic.
trina is cute. "pull over" is actually a cute song.
"I'mma shake my money
maker, I'mma shake this thing like a salt shaker" aww....it's
even cuter when
the she does her little shimmy in the video.
oh, all you NYC head. Aesoprock will be performing (with odd
jobs and
labtekwon) at columbia university next thursday (I think that's
the 18th). I'm
not really sure on the details but i'll repost when i do.
later tony
some shit to be said about stuff: 9/19/2000
a few things:
anyone else heard the new wu-tang joint? it's a throwback to
early 90's shit.
breakbeat and all. it uses the famous ass "tramp" bassline
but it's pretty
dope. it's nice to hear all those heads back to back over a beat
that isn't
total crap.
chances are, if you say "yall cats" in your rhyme you
are both corny and wack.
I heard a new MOP joint last night. "cold as ice".
they are my shit. the only
group alive that could sample some shit like that (i think it
a foreigner song)
and flip it. when does the album officially drop. I'm fiending.
It's funny, the
other day I was walking with MOP in my walkman and I raninto this
kid I went to
high school with. he's a indy rock kinda guy and he was chilling
with this
dirty little hippie girl. anyway, he asked me what I was listening
to (why he
did that I'm still curious) and I told him. right then, the little
hippie girl
was like "oh my god, MOP? how can understand what they are
saying? my firend at
work was asking me to translate them for him. they suck."
I was kinda suprised
the girl knew who they were but I was also kind of annoyed she
had a little
opinion about them. so I said something like "they're pretty
easy to
understand, they yell everything, it's not hard to catch everything
they say"
and she kinda scowled at me. the moral of this pointless story
is: fuck a
hippie bitch with bullshit opinions on MOP
the olympics: I know I'm not the only head who watchs that shit
strictly for
the tragedy aspect. I feel like an olympian is a waste of an athlete.
you train
your whole life to do some stupid ass shit like water polo or
fencing and even
if you win the gold, who cares? what now? I'd say my shit is the
gymnastics.
mad l's being caught there.
everyone go buy the two new atmosphere 12's on fat beats records.
they are dope
and doper.
aesoprock news: if anyone is interested is reading some aesop
reviews of
"float" go peep dirtyloop.com and check out the artists
section. I read a funny
review the oter day in the porn magazine called "oui".
the title of the review
section is "music to fuck to". ha!
oh and "float" is out but good luck finding it, it's
sellinglike a jadakiss
solo joint.
why did LL bother making another canibus diss song? that's pitiful.
you know who's looking forward to the new kweli album? not me.
ergghhhh!!!!!!!
he's wack! he made two dope joints (manisfesto and 2000 seasons)
and never
again kicked a fat rhyme. a kweli battle rhyme (I've said this
a million times)
is the worst kind of battle rhyme. it reminds me of the schoolyard
pussy
talking shit.
one word to discribe kweli's voice: clit
one word to discribe his flow: struggle
two words to discribe his style: clit struggle
well, that's all for now.
later tony
I had a revelation, kinda (and other shit): 9/12/2000
well, sort of... i was thinking about todays mc's and certain
ones i see on tv.
I came to the conclusion, chances are, if I cannot imagine you
actually
sitting down and writing a rhyme, and you call yourself an mc,
you're caught up
in an image and therefore, you suck. there are exceptions, like
MOP but most
other who seem like this do tend to be wack. for instance, take
a guy like
noreaga. i don't even hate nore, he's jokes to me ,but can you
imagine him
sitting down and actually writing lyrics? or how about puffy...easy
target but
i can;t imagine himeven having the time to write a rhyme. it also
has to do
with the content of the rhyme to. like LL cool j sitting down
and writing
another battle joint (which he's already made and i heard the
other day...what
the fuck?). ll's got tv shows, a wife, kids, and he fell off 4
years ago.
picturing him writing a rhyme now is hard for me. I can't see
it. I won't even
go into shit like miricle and drama. I can't even imagine them
writing words,
let alone rhymes.
and now the other shit:
I heard some new things, thought I'd comment:
new co-flow joint with ill bill...I can't front, I'm not a fan
of ill bill but
he's pretty dope on this song. I was pleasently suprised. he starts
off his
verse with some shit like "if it wasn;t for mircosoft, you
wouldn't have no
fans, if you lived in the middle east you wouldn't have no hands"
or something
like that. the song is pretty dope. the beats...well..kinda angry.
I think the
song is called something involving simeans.
new smut peddlers joint: cage is the man, eon is wack. pretty
much explains the
joint . mighty mi gets the most improved player award from me.
last 4 tracks
he's done have been dope. he almost fell off too...
i finally heard a little of the new outkast song...uh oh. it
sucked (at least
the beat did. lets all hold hands and hope it's just a weak single.
i've seen
people giving it a few props up in here. why? hey, i love outkast,
you love
outkast but we have to learn to be honest and not except crap
and call it dope.
even if it is from a group we love. I'd be lying if i said outkast's
first two
album were really all around dope to me. both had like 4 joints
i really liked
on them and a lot of shit I didn't. the newest one however, is
my shit.
alright,
later tony
some shit i've noticed...: 8/28/2000
a few things...
"fire" by busta rhymes...what's up with that? That beat
would make
el-p cringe. for real, that is, without a doubt, the worst beat
ever made. I
know i've said it before but this is for real. how the fuck did
that shit get
made. who gave it props and why did it get released as a single?
"gotta man" by
eve, you are free to go...fire has taken your place.
I got some new shit recently...all of it was pretty shitty.
Yak ballz...hmm...it should be illegal to bite a style that hard.
even if it is
your boy. hey, cage is mad dope but take his dick out your mouth.
you sound
EXACTLY like him. I bought the single on the strength of someone
else's
opinion. last time i ever do that. even the beats were so so.
two of them were
actually loops that have already been used. lord knows that's
unacceptable.
I also picked up some monch single that dj spinna did. it sucked
too. I still
don't see they reason spinna gets props. his drums are cool but
musically his
shit is weak.
I did pick up the new thirstun howell lp. I love that guy. he's
a very bugged
man who gets a bad rap from alot of you heads out there. man,
he's original
like a motherfucker and he's entertaining. don't sleep.
oh and what's up with mr. metaphor? he's mad nice. i wish he did
more shit.
rap city is out of control...it's like every video is the same
shit. how many
times can one man sit through the #1 stunna video before he goes
insane? HI
know i keep coming back to this but i hate hip hop a little more
every time i
see the major figgas video. i watch it like i would a car crash.
I'd rather
hear raven simone rap then those fucking idiots. what up with
the guy who looks
like ernie hudson (of ghostbusters and OZ fame)?
speaking of OZ, that's my shit. everytime i see lord jamar ,
the first thing
that pops into my head is "lord jamar will live long, cause
i give strong blows
to the heads of my foes"
well, that's enough for now...
later tony
thoughts on some shit...: 7/24/2000
it's been a while...
first off you kknow what's corny?crews that have matching leather
jackets with
the crew name on them. avirex style. I've been seeing this in
a few to many
videos lately. mc's trying to be an extra gang in the warriors.
ok, wyclef...total bitchass but I'm kinda hyped off the rock
being on a song.
I'd buy an album by the rock...
some new shit:
pep love is the best mc in hiero. I just got his new 12 and even
though the
beats are wack, he's still the man. it's about time he drops some
shit.
I actually bought the new juice single. i can't remember if i
commented on it
or not but it's dope. I was suprised. he's what canibus should
be.
the new unsung hereos is dope. siah solo joint is hot. hey, is
mr. complex
getting doper? the last few things I've heard him on have been
pretty
impressive. his verse on the masterminds album is my shit.
this week has seen some heavy recording. because it's the week
of rock steady
(saturday, who's rolling?) illogic, slug, greenhouse effect, and
many more have
been rolling in. aesop and illogic did two joints together (maybe
a possible ep
is in the works) and vast of canibul ox did a joint with aesop
and illogic
also. slug arrives tomorrow. mad music to be made.
how come billy danzini is my favorite mc? i love his shit. i
was arguing with
this frined the other day about shyne. the kid was like "yo,
shyne is dope
cause he spits shit so hard" yet this kid doesn't like MOP
or freddie
foxxx...how does that work? if you're talking spitting hard shit,
who's harder
the foxxx or danzini? shyne sounds like a thugged out mase in
slow mo. actually
he kinda sounds like a thugged out mf doom.
hey, anyone out there can hook me up with a cdr or a good copy
of "south park
psycho" by gangsta nip? if you can, e-mail me and we'll work
some shit out.
that shit about canibus getting beat down is true. cam'ron and
blinky blink
took it to him. that's some embarassing shit right there. at his
own record
release party...that's dope. it must be wack getting beat down
by wack mc's.
well, that's all for now.
later tony
some shit that i've noticed...(and other shit, too): 6/17/2000
damn, i feel like i haven't done a post in awhile...anyway, here's
some shit
I've noticed lately:
anyone seen the new DMX/aaliyah video? what's up with ananda
(the fly yet
annoying mtv vj) rolling with aaliyah and getting into a fight
with some girls
in the video? first off, yeah ai-ight ananda, you're not fighting
anyone,
secondly, how did that come about...kinda random.
worst song ever: "yeah that's us" by major figgas.
what the fuck? they even
have an ugly lil' kim looking trick in the video. to qoute kool
kieth "how the
fuck you get a deal?" for real, who's signing heads like
this. the beat isn't
even catchy and it's not like they are even down with anyone who
could put them
on, on some nepotism shit. I'm guessing who ever put them on is
the same head
who signed Made men.
funniest song ever: "black shampoo":u-god
Woah...here's my question, is this song a joke? if it is, it's
the dopest shit
ever made and u-god gets more props from me then ever before BUT
if it's
serious, how did it happen? wouldn't any wu member, upon hearing
the song, be
like "you baby U, that shit is the weakest gay joint ever
made". fromt he way
it ends, i'm guessing it's a joke, which makes u-god pretty much
the man to me.
best break up song ever:wildflower by ghost face
i know there was a lot of discussion about this a while ago but
I tend to not
get involved (or even read) post with more the 12 responses so
if i'm rehashing
any old shit, i apoligize. anyway, this song is the dopest break
up song. ghost
hit the nail on the head. sure, it's alittle angrier then any
break up i've
had but I feel him.
I'm on some weird Wu tang kick lately...I've noticed that before
with WU. i'll
not listen to them for mad long and then suddenly crave to hear
some shit by
them. usually ghost face or the second wu album.
some lyrics that are in my head lately:
"we might fall off, cuase that shit'll just happen
but if i feel these planks give i'm grabbin everyones jackets"
lyrics born
from some old solesides mix tape live performance joints ("radio
sole" i think
is the name)
"are those bugle boy jeans you're wearing?
hell no hoe you know they polo" trick daddy from"shut
up!" my joint right
now...
"you don't wanna be overlooked,
yeah but you don't want to be looked over to much"
aesoprock from "the shovel" off my upcoming compilation.
I'm not really doing
shameless promotion on this one cause that line has been in my
head all week.
"one time, summer in the city
where the girls look good but they attitude is shitty"
young bleed from "take some, lose some". so true, young
bleed, so true.
here's something I've noticed: have you ever chilled in a room
with like 5 or
more guys and one girl? obviously you have. if you ever want to
see a bored ass
girl, start talking about hip hop and watch as the girl becomes
the boredest
(not to be confused with the "Baddest") bitch. I always
feel bad when this
happens (and it seems like it happens fairly often). especially
if the girl
doesn't know or care about hip hop. of course, in most cases you
can replace
hip hop with sports or video games and get the same response.
but if you ever
have some crab ass girl at your crib and you want her to bounce,
it helps.
people seem to diss the beats on aceyalone's "all balls
don't bounce" album but
for real, it's pretty solid. a highly slept on album (even though
i know every
acey fan jocks it).
well, that's enough for now.
later tony
A few quick thoughts on shit as we know it: 5/17/2000
first off,
What's up with this group "the spooks"? I've been catching
the video a lot and
it intrigues me. what's the deal? are they a roots type band?
all live
intruments and such? the beat is mad dope and that girl can sing.
A friend told
me that larry fisheburne discovered them and got them put on.
either way, I'm
interested in them. the mc's seem interesting too. I can't tell
if they are
dope or wack. one guys says "thug niggas banging chick but
won't kiss". I know
heads like that. foul shit...
secondly, how ill is roy jones jr.? anyone see that fight this
past weekend?
he's the fucking man. he hit that guy, spun him around and knocked
him down on
the way back. that shit was pure comedy.
whistle while you twirk, bounce bounce, left right left, is this
southern shit
getting a little out of hand? I'm a fan of some of that shit.
I'll bump trina,
juvinlie, trick daddy and even some young bleed but some of this
shit dropping
in amazingly weak. it's like you can put out anything and it goes...
the utah jazz are mad soft. I'm glad they are out of it. I hate
watching them.
hey, where are all you heads getting advanced eminem albums from?
it's not out
yet, is it? what the fuck.
songs I'm loving right now:
I don't need you: trina feat. trick daddy
I ain't gettin any younger: aesoprock
I need drugs: necro
simple man: the grouch
stupid mf's: group home
what's up fatlip?: fat lip
songs I'm not loving right now:
The light:common (is that the name of that gay ass song? the
one where he raps
about a girl. the fourth joint on his album.
big pimpin:jay z (I loved it before but if I ever hear it again
I'm going to
kill someone.)
anything featuring the eastsiderz
I will now admit something very wack...
I love brittney spears..not her music but shit, when did she get
hot all of the
sudden? she's been on mtv non-stop for the past week and goddamn
she's been
looking proper. I'm not even really into her type but I fiend
to see her naked.
her body is ill. I never thought I'd get caught up in her like
that. i have
friends (or A friend i should say) who sweats her mad hard and
i always dissed
him for it but lately were like two little kids when she comes
on tv. I promise
she will be in playboy within 4 years. and I'll be there to buy
it.
that new xzibit joint is dope. any word on his new album? it's
fat to hear him
not yelling his shit yet it's still oddly amping. that whole song
is mad
relaxed yet it gives me the vibe of a fight waiting to happen
in a library.
that's a hard vibe to capture.
well, that's more then enough...
later tony
some shit to...umm..whatever: 4/11/2000
is it me or has it been kind of boring up in here lately? I ussually
don't
complain about the newsgroup itself but lately things have slowed
down for some
reason. nothng to talk about? who knows...
reasons why I'm an asshole:
1. I will most likely buy trina's album before I buy commons new
joint (come
on, she's the baddest bitch!)
2. I'm going to be making a break record for dj's and whatnot
even though I
really don't like most dj's. but money is money. am i the only
one in here who
thinks 5000 bills is a whole lot of money? I hope not.
3. I decided I'd never write another "getting personal"
or question based post
in here cause honestly, I don't care that much.
4. I player hate.
5. this girl my friend is kicking it to likes me and I'm totally
going to bag
it up. charge it to the game kid...well, it's a little deeper
then that.It's
not as bad as it seem. I laid groundwork with her before he met
her. so that's
all good then, right?
ok, I know it's been discussed but "the lyricist lounge
show" is an
abomination. sure, the skits where they rap are ok. not great...ok.
but the
other skits are so wack it kills me. they try so hard to be ill
and cutting
edge but it just come out like some 5th graders who just learned
new curses. on
top of that, that bird faced girl has got to go.
what does baby power do? he's got to be the least talented mother
fucker on
there. it's fucked up when I can usually watch any old bullshit
on mtv and they
finally get a hip hop show and I can't even bare to watch it.
that says a lot.
I finally got my hands on some joints off willie d's album "controversy".
man,
if he isn't the dopest rapper alive, I don't know who is. ok,
he's not anywhere
near the dopest but he's definitely the most entertaining. i heard
he used to
have a radios how in texas. that must have been amazing. on some
gangster
howard stern shit.
here are some forgotten groups to bring back memories (good and
bad):
1. the hoodratz (you bootleg you get you legs broke)
they really sucked. they came out right after onyx blew up. shameless
biting.
2. the future sound
they actually put out a great first album and were never seen
outside an 99
cent bin since. they were down with Original flavor.
3.hard knocks
they too dropped a tight debut and vanished.
4. rotten razcals
I'll be damned if this isn't the worst album in my big ass collection.
the shit
used to kill me cause they had like 4 songs on the album with
titles like "awe
yeah" "yeah hooo" "wee laa!" you think
theyw ere looking for a hit? hey hooo!
5.insane poetry
if anyone here has actually heard of this texas based horrorcore
group, I give
you mad props. they came out in the early 90's on some "I'm
crazy I eat flesh"
tip. the thing is, the mc (psycho was his name) was actually decent
and the
beats were kinda dope too.
on the aesoprock update front:
appleseed still available (email me if you want one)
the new album "float" is supposed to be dropping in
early may. kepp an eye out
it features slug, vast, doesone and some beats by yours truly
we also just finished some shit for this newer foolblown comp
that's coming out
pretty soon. it's a 4 sided record featuring aesop on one side,
atoms family on
another, illogic and greenhouse effect on the other and radioinactive
on the
last. it should be pretty bangin.
how come every time i thing of the word "bangin" this
line comes to my head
"bang'em and hang'em like they did our relatives, thought
he was the dopest on
the mike to ever live? negative"
I guess AG does stick with you.
oh and back to aesop...anyone in the nyc area come peep this
show in monday the
24th...cage,mf doom, mr. lif and aesoprockin it at the wetlands.
ai-ight! enough shameless self promotion...I'm out.
later tony
shit on my mind: 3/27/2000
MTv 's spring break has finally driven me crazy. for real, Am
I officially to
old to even watch that shit now? 23 is young, right?
who here is down with pep love? To me, he is the dopest head
in hiero right now
and if you listen to the last album they dropped he ripped every
track he was
on. honestly, him and casual are the only two I can still stomach.
I can't get
with del anymore and souls seem like a lost cause to me.
How fly is that girl in destiny's child? goddamn...I like the
little quiet one
too but the lead singer is so ill to me. she was killing me at
that fashionably
loud shit.
anyone hear about q-tip beating down some little guy? apparently
this little
guy (5 foot 3 weighing in at a buck 30) approacehed q-tip outside
a club
because he said q-tip got him kicked out of the club.well, he
ended up getting
his jaw broken by everyone's favorite thug, Q-tip.
abstract, you know his stiggity in here...
jemini the gifted one's new shit drop's next week. support...
I listened to kwest the mad ladd's album last night for the first
time in dumb
long. his breath control and flow makes kweli look like rakim.
wow. It's ill to
hear an mc straight up struggle to flow.
I haven't done this in a while: HEY...anyone who is interested
in buying a copy
of aesoprock's "appleseed" ep, hit me with an e-mail
or go get the info from
his website: www.aesoprock.com
order now before it's too late. I know how many heads slept on
"music for
earthworms" don't let it happen again. get this shit before
we decide to stop
making it.
I get this vibe that this dead prez album will do pretty well.
saleswise. kinda
similar to how brand nubian's "all for one" sold. the
buzz is similar to that
album actually.
Jay-z gets love for that big pimpin video...it kills the thing
song video in
the fly girls department. probably cause jay-z actaully like girls
and sisqou
was more concerned with his dancing scene.
MF doom's "rhymes like dimes" has got to be my favorite
song over the past
year. I can't stop listening to it. I make mixes for my walkmen
every month or
so and that shit has consistantly been on every one since I got
that joint.I
don't think people really acknowledge how dope an mc he is. on
that song
especially. hey flash, why don't you post the lyrics to that song
on here...
some summer/spring fashion no no's:
on men:
mesh anything
anyone get nauseous when eon said "in the summer it's mesh"
the thought of eon
in mesh is a scary one.
wnba jerseys...
please, unless your rocking one at the lilith fair, don't play
yourself.
on women:
tight pants and some bugged bunchy ass underwear.
thong th thong thong thong!
skirts over pants.
what the fuck kind of stupid ass soho shit is this?
well, that's all i got to say...

some shit that pisses me off: 3/27/2000
you know what annoys the shit out of me? soundeffects in video's.
I'm watching
rap city yesterday and the new common video comes on. keep in
mind, I haven't
even heard the song yet. SO I'm kid of amped to hear this shit.
but the whole
video has loud ass explosions and sirens drowning out his vocals.
from waht I
did hear, I thought the song was kinda wack. I didn't like the
beat and his
rhymes were good but his new delivery (the preachy sounding flow
that he used
on that abortion song) is just not my steez at all. But I have
a feeling I
would like the song more if the video had not fucked it up so
much. that's bad
on the part of the label. it makes it seem like they don't have
enough
confidence in the artist and they want to cover up the lack of
skill with sound
effects(like bad boy would often do). I hope that's not the case
with common
but that's what it seems like they are doing when they have sound
effects in
the video.
on another video note: I was a little lifted with my boy the
other night and
macy grays video came on. do me a favor, next time yousee the
video, take a
ggod look at the "guy" she makes out with at the end.
I mean a gooood
loooooook. tell me that's not a women with fake facial hair on.
"his" face is
100% feminine (minus the hair) and "his" body is like
a flat chested skinny
lesbian. for real, peep it next time and tell me if I'm bugging
or not.
oh, and to keep to the topic of the post here are some more things
that piss me
off:
slow walkers on narrow streets in NYC:
you can really tell when a person is a tourist if they walk slow
in NYC
girls with dragon breath a forwad approach:
this girl that talked to me last night had breath that smelled
like she had
been gargling with vomit.
homeboys with illy breath that won't take hints.
my boys breath smelled bad so I offered him and another kid a
mint. the other
kid took it and my boy was like "nah, I'm cool" I was
like "nah man, take one"
he was like "no thanks, I don't like mints"
this new southern rap explosion on rap city. I like southern
rap but some of
the shit they are putting on is just shameful. this kid miracle
is the worst.
and this song with thebguy who sounds liek a drill sargent is
fucking awful
too.
girls who think they are fly cause they have big tits.
slow your roll, your grill is illing. it's funny how many guys
will actually go
for any girl who throws her tits around. I can't front though,
it does make you
evaluate a face a little less. L:ast night this girls was talking
to me and her
face was ok. decent at best but her body was busting out. thats
a delemma right
there. she started massaging my hand and I almost cracked but
then her friend
cock blocked so it really doesn't matter anyway...
people who give the lox any sort of props
come on, what are you hearing? this kid was over at my crib the
other night
saying "yo, the lox is the hottest shit out now" and
he put that shit on.damn,
they are the worst (excluding drag on who is the real worst).
radio commercials.
they literally give me stomach pains. there is something about
the frequency of
the low voices that kills me.
people who try and explain why magnolia is really good.
all I say is "ok, the acting is dope but justify the 3 and
half agonizing hours
that is that fucking movie." jesus christ! it was painful.
corny crowd participation.
"say ho" is played out. lets innovate.
well, that's all for now...

random modnar shit tihs: 2/20/2000
you like my mirror image post style? word, I'm trying to innovate...
anyway,
a few quickies...
has anyone listened to fu-shnickens in the past few years? I was
stoned with a
friend the other day just going through old joint on some remeniscent
shit and
I came across my old fu schnickens tape. Who here did not sweat
"true
fu-shnick" when it dropped? that shit was ill but time is
a bitch and boy, are
they the worst. First of all, chip fu, the das efx on crack sounding
guy, is
just plain silly. the funny shit is that they printed all the
lyrics in the
liner notes so you can read shit like "I'm the biggity itggity
nice one riggity
ripping miggity mikes up" for 8 pages. I was dying listening
to that shit. then
you got the asian looking one who is like phife lite. then there
is the middle
ground guy who just kinda sucks. So what captivated me about this
album is that
they are all about being amped. they have this possie cut on there
with dres
and a bunch of their wack boys and it seemed like every finishing
line all 10
mc's involved scream the last word. like "I ripping mike
so call me the RIPPER
but three's company like jiggity jack TRIPPER"
(by the way, that's not a real line but it reflects them well)
anyway, if you feel like a chuckle break out that album.
speaking of possie cuts, I miss the time when possie cuts were
just the mc
whose album it is and his boys. now it seems like you can have
a possie cut
unless all the acts are signed. i can't remember the last time
i heard a possie
cut that didn't have busta, method man or redman on it.
Anyone here want to recomend me a UGK'z album to get? I never
heard them till
jay-z's album and I love that shit. now keep in mind, i don't
want to buy some
g-funked out crap so if they have early NWAish type shit, that
would be good.
any help here?
how come so many white rappers sound like bitch asses?It's like
every new white
rapper i hear (aside from a chosen few) just don't care at all
how wack their
voices are. they literally sound like the voice eddie murphy used
to do when he
immitated white guys. you know, i used to rhyme but then I realized
my voice
was wack (which by the way, in comparison to alot of white mc's
i hear, I'm
fucking chuck d), so i saved everybody so time and took up beat
making.
here's a mood killer: I'm chilling with this girl, just messing
around and for
some reason juvinile's cd is in my stereo. so, I put it on cause
she wants to
hear "back that ass up". anyway, that song ends the
next one comes on. so, I'm
fucking around some more and right at the point where she's about
say hi to the
bad guy this line from the song blurts out "I'll tell you
what, you suck my
dick I'll be your man"
deaded...needless to say, next time I'm throwing on some al green.
who's familiar with cage's joint "54"
"can you guess who the faggot dj is?" who is cage talking
about. what dj does
he have beef with? I'm thinking it could be strech, dj eli, even
mighty mi( who
I heard caught an eye jammie from necro recently)
speaking of necro anyone heard "I need drugs"? it's
to the beat of "I need
love" by LL. funny shit.
well, that's all for now...
later tony
some shit to ponder: 2/10/2000
this'll be quick...
yo, the new jay-z album is really fat. i know I've commented on
it a little but
I've been bumping it more and the shit is tight. I'm shocked.
I mean, it's
really only half fat but the dope songs are really dope. The joint
with the
UGK'z is my shit.
I know who the gay rapper is...officially...the first one who
wendy williams
was talking about. it's pudgee the phat bastard. I don't know
if many of you
even know who he is but that's the gay rapper. I was talking to
an mc that will
remain nameless and he was telling me that when he went on tour
back in 94
pudgee was on the tour. anyway, he said pudgee basically was kicking
it to him
and that there was no doubt, back then, he was gay. then it ,
and similar
stories from other mc's, got out and wendy williams blew up his
spot.
"what does it matter if he's gay or not?" yells the
annoying follow up poster
it doesn't matter but it's interesting to know.
aesoprock's new album will be finished on saturday. mixed and
ready to roll. it
should be out in about 3 months. looks for a big promotional push
from heads
other then me. supposedly (this is what I heard), it's going to
get reviewed in
either spin or rolling stone. I won't believe it till i see it
but that's
pretty ill if it's true. I'm very curious to see what kind of
write up they
will give him...I can't see them dissing it but I can't see them
sweating it
either. they usually only sweat shit that will make them some
money (or is that
just the source?).
Sad shit about big pun. the day after he died, the thc crew put
up a peice for
him in the bronx. the day after that the store owner buffed it
and said he
didn't give anyone permission to do that on his wall.
i was watching rap city and sitting through big tiggas agonizingly
bad poetic
homage to Pun and it got me thinking. you know what the worst
part about dying
is, from a friend or family members standpoint, is having to hear
people that
are not in the inner circle of you life talk about it. I mean,
it's nice of
tigger to do but that type of shit is almost offensive when it's
your loved one
that's died. it's hard to explain... regardless, rap city also
showed some
interviews with pun and he was very obviously not in good health.
he could
barley talk over a loud wheaze.
I was watching Vh1's "the list" the other night and
the topic was "most
underrated artist". kool moe dee came in third! but anywya,
if I was there my
three would be:
3:master ace (ase)
2.willie d
1.kool g rap
I wonder how that would have flown at VH1? It'd be worth it just
to see them
play a clip from "me and the biz" when I picked master
ace.
this is a little off topic but anyone here go through a period
in your life
when your decision making with women is totally fucked up? for
the past 3
months, I've been real bad with that. it's resulted in more women
but it's also
resulted in mad stress. i'm usually a very libra kind of guy.
I weigh shit out
and don't do shit without thinking of consequences but lately,
for no reason
really, I'm on some kamikazee
pussy pilot shit that is going to send me to an early grave. my
life was a
whole lot easier when I thought before i acted....
how come quanuum doesn't get as much respect as they should?
not that top ten
lists by internet heads really hold weight but it seems that quanuum
heads are
always left off best mc lists...for real, at the moment, i'd say
lateef, lyrics
born and gab are all in my top 6 (at least). so dope. so talented.
effortless
flows that actually have content. on top of that, they are the
most original
groups of mc's out right now and they don't even try to be weird.
god bless
them.
well, that's all I've got in me for now...
later tony
Some shit I noticed (and other shit) 1/7/2000
My first post of the millenium. word.
this could get a little off topic but we'll see...
I noticed, once again, how wack a dancer jennifer lopez is. Her
having musical
and dancing talent is a pretty recognized farce, right? she always
lipsinc's
and she dances like her legs are too heavy to lift. I'm not saying
that she
doesn't sing her own shit cause it's pretty obvious it's her voice
(cause it's
pretty wack). looks go a long way...
You ever see ugly couples on the street. you know, two people
holding hands on
some love shit just walking together looking awful. it occurded
to me that they
must both realize the other one is wack looking. how can you not.
and while
some people have great personalities, lets not kid ourselves,
not THAT many
people have great personalities. so what occured to me is that
both people
involved have basically given up and settled for ugly. that's
ill to me.
peace to anyone hoiw has to settle for ugly, you're a soldier.
speaking of soldiers, the no limit kind, I had the honor of seeing
the
cinimatic masterpiece that is known as "I got the hook up".
you know
what...it's pretty bad BUT aj johnson is pretty funny and some
of the scenes
are amusing. Master p is as good an actor as he is a rapper. nuff
said. I'd
rather watch that shit then magnolia again...
why is willie d my favorite mc right now? I'm trying to get my
hands on his
album "controversy" (an original album, not a dub).
I'll keep looking. that's
one of those albums i used to see when I was younger and never
buy and now that
I can appreciate it, it's nowhere to be found.
so, dre is supposedly doing all of xzibit's new album... I'll
believe it when I
hear it.It's a dream come true if it is true but I'm thinkhe might
just do like
4 songs on the album at best. hell, he only did like 3 or 4 on
eminem's album
and that is his artist.
The new aesoprock album is maybe 1or 2 cuts aways from being
done. i can't wait
to drop it on yall. the only difference is that I won't have to
deal with all
the shipping and handling. Mush records is putting it out so I
can just sit
back and enjoy.
anyone else have an underwhealming new years? I went to a wack
party where
there were not nearly as many girls as there should have been.
I was so vexed I
turned down some new years kisses (granted the girls were not
exactley prizes)
peace to smooth daddy pimp nesta though. he capitalized like a
mo'. :)
how come NYC was so wack on new years? sure, there were like 2
million heads
chilling at times square but what about the rest of us. I was
walking around
the east village around 3:30 and it was dead. it felt like a fucking
wednesday.
anyone ever seen the magazine Vice? It's from canada. it's dope.
kinda like an
ego trip vibe mixed with urb and silliness.
before I bounce here are a few quick little quiz questions for
you:
1.who's alias/codename was Baby Dayliner?
if you get that one, you are so on point.
2. what group that put out an album on loud was a lyricist lounge
staple in the
early/mid 90's?
3.who produced most of the "the hill that's real" compilation
(featuring then
solo artist lil' fame)?
4.who is the 6th guy on the "straight outta compton"
album cover?
that's all for now...
later tony
