 IMGP1025

From left to right : My brother Adam, Termanology and me. Notice Term and I are the same height. Peep Statik Selektah in the background.

Last night I was invited by my cousin Dan to a listening party for Termanology’s debut, Politics As Usual, coming out September 30th on Nature Sounds.

It was a small, intimate affair. Everyone met on the 4th floor of the EMI office on 6th Avenue and hung out and ate pizza for a bit. Fellow Showoff Records artists Reks and Statik Selektah came through to support. After about a half hour, we went over to the conference room to listen to the record.

Hit the jump for my full recap:

A Photoshop response to all of this Rick Ross nonsense.

You’ve already heard HM responding to Donny Goines. But to me personally its not that serious, I enjoy stuff like this instead. Since I always like Something Awful’s Photoshop Phriday, this is a natural to post.

Jay-Z and ODB were almost on Crooklyn Dodgers.

(image source)

Q-Tip says Jay-Z and Ol’ Dirty Bastard were almost on “Crooklyn Dodgers”:

At the time we had [Buckshot, Masta Ace and Special Ed], we had Ol’ Dirty Bastard, and we reached out to Jay-Z, I think, at the time, and maybe somebody else. I think they all came. I think Ol’ Dirty Bastard left, and I think Jay came late.

I can’t imagine what “Crooklyn Dodgers” would sound like with ODB on it. Peep AaronM’s write-up on the Crooklyn Dodgers Reunion.
