It's really saddening to witness the police abuse their positions of power and know that the police are just at the bottom of the ladder. Imagine what the feds can do to you. SMDH. I caught this atrocious video today on worldstarhiphop and had to put it up due to the magnitude of civil rights that were violated. The police departments locally, regionally, nationally and internationally need to get their shit together because even if there are good cops out there, its the ones like in this video that got me and my peoples saying "FUCK THE POLICE."

SONG OF THE DAY


This past weekend one of my homies hooked it up for me and the main squeeze to slip un-noticably into the TLA on Saturday night to check out Mayer Hawthorne and the County. Some other bands were there too, but no disrespect I didn't peep who they were. I was there to see if homeboy was all hype or refined talent. And the show was off the the motherfucking chain!! Not only did dude and his band tear the roof off that bitch, it was probably the best band I have seen perform there. With Mayer's tour continuing to thrill audiences, I know this man is going down in history. Not bad for a white boy with soul huh?

I was at my homie's spot this past weekend and this joint dropped. It kinda caught me off guard, I think cuz I've been feeling like this emotion of rediscovery has hit me with certain 80's joints that I hear now. I don't know if I am looking at it from a Hip Hop stand point or just music in general. Regardless, this jointski right here is definitely official yahmean.

Good peoples, and over course bad ass little kids with water balloon fights.

VINYL TRIP

The album "Rhapsody In White" has to be one of the smoothest albums ever! Way before acts like Maxwell or D'angelo were doing their renditions of silky Rn'B Barry White was setting the bar! This 1973 release was produced and conducted solely by the immortal White himself. With Barry at the helm the Love Unlimited Orchestra's lush strings glide effortlessly across the timeless 70 grooves! The song "Baby Blues" an ode to panties is the must hear track of the album! White even developed the art concept (which is amazing)! Long live Barry White!

About a week ago I was buildin with my homie Tola about music. After some good green and in depth politickin about the infinite search for good music, he put me on to this famed Cambodian singer of the 1960's by the name of Sinn Sisamouth. This cat was extra fly with his shit yo. I prolly grew up to his music and didn't even know it while listening to cassette decks around my parents as they chilled out on the summer nights.

VINYL TRIP

The liner notes of John Coletrane's Infinity read: "To perceive again and this time it must be said,. for all who read to know that no matter what, it is all with god. . ." Such a spiritual statement is a perfect introduction to some of Coltrane's rich, swirling, and magical free-form music. Originally I was drawn to this lp (from my fathers collection) by it gorgeous cover art-work, but once I placed the needle to the plate I was overwhelmed by Coletrane's wandering saxophone over Alice Coletrane's lush string arrangements. I wouldn't recommend this album to a casual jazz listener, but This album's enchanting and deeply layered sound is truly amazing!
