Some Shit: 12/12/2000 by Tony 1er

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.

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...
later tony



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...

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...

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...
