Football players and white women, what’s that about?

Ok, being a long time Cincinnati Bengals fan. I’m watching the Ochocinco show on VH1 last night. I had to stop watching it in the middle because this guy has 85 women to choose from and all he’s picking is these skinny white little girls. What’s up with that? Why is it only football players that think skinny white girls are gold? Even with basketball some have some since like Magic, Dr. J, and Shaq, but with football players you can forget it they think these cave broads are the cream of the crop, why? If I was famous and a millionaire you can best believe I’m gonna have some fine ass sistas on my side like New-New, Alicia, Gabriel type women. Full bodied and beautiful even the best exotic Spanish broads from the islands with bangin bodies fat asses and big titties, not pale white with bodies of a teenage boy. On the field Chad’s my boy but I can’t mess with his personal choices in women, no thank you.

A reason Ny/ Eastcoast hiphop faded away

Back in the day you would get excited when you went to a Record store (remember Waxie Maxies)to cop a new cd, tape, single , or maxie single(the one with all the remixes and instrumentals). I remember how even back then I would open up my new tape to see who produced the tracks( yes even that young I would be so excited about just the beatmakers) as well as who your favorite MC had featured on it. Back then it was nothing to have 2 or 3 big features on an album or the so called "posse cut", where all your favorite rappers were on one tracks killing it and you and you boys would ride to the music each one fo you a different MC. Me, first I was Big Daddy Kane, then Grand Puba, then Nas, Tupac never left me,LOL. To me that was the Golden Age of Hip Hop. Everyone was showin love to the other, supportin cats records then...
It seemed to disappear over night. It became who was the King of Ny. Money, Corporate America with big business took over my beloved Hip Hop and turned friends into enemies, and allias into war combatants. As smart as we were and are how is we could never change or break that cycle of blindness. Must of been all the bling and ice that came into the picture. Too late now. Real Hip Hop is alive but on life support, and regular rap has his grip around the cord ready to pull the plug.-MAK

Retirement for MC's by T.

The Rolling Stones are on tour...Tickets sold out. This is not uncommon for most if not all genres of music besides my beloved Hip Hop. An older (experienced is the word i prefer to use) artist, group what have you from another genre can tour until they are in wheel chairs but once Hip Hop artist reaches a certain age they are considered old and obselete. Is it the machine (record labels, suits)that decides this or us as consumers? I'm 36 and most of the acts i grew up on don't put out music or if they do you only know about it through happen stance. Is there an age when a rapper needs to hang up the mic. I say no. There is no age limit on hip hop. If you can rhyme you can rhyme. I hear the hole "you can't sell drugs all your life" arguement but I don't look or listen to rhymes are real life stories. They are movies to me (verbal street opera's if i can quote Tony Starks). The good ones can tell a story abd you can see it. It has nothing to do with age. If anything they get better as they age with constant practice. It takes years to become a master in the Kung Fu arts and you are always learning and honing your craft. Why can't hip hop be the same. Your take...."T"

The Roots - How I got Over/ Classic?

Ok, I'm feeling The Roots new Album/ How i got over. I keep listening to it to see if there are any flaws, but i can't find any. I may be biased because i am a long time Roots fan. Don't get me wrong their last couple of cds were ok and some not so ok, but this one takes it back to the the eairly Roots of the 90s "Distortion of Static" and "Proceed". Loving it!
