LOL. Awesome stuff, callin Nas “Rap-Pop”. Swiped from OKP boards.

Donny Goines offers his point of view on the Rick Ross fiasco… without mentioning Rick Ross. This has to be one of the most ignorant video’s I’ve ever seen. Dude takes out his extensive criminal history report and goes over it on camera. Then dude basically says that rappers who talk about crimes (like Ross) are fake, while rappers who do crimes (like Him) are cool and never talk about doing dirt .

I don’t know when people stopped thinking that this is an entertainment business. Do I care if Ross talks about being a drug dealer? No. Do I care if he was really a corrections officer? No. Do I care if his songs are good? Yes.

The real message we should get from this whole Ross thing is that kids shouldn’t look at these rappers and think that they can be sucessful from a life of crime. Selling drugs doesn’t make you cool. Going to jail doesn’t make you rich and powerful. Lying about going to jail and selling drugs makes you cool, rich, and powerful.

Who cares if some dudes in jail think you aren’t real? They’re in fucking prison!

Dead to the fucking world.

Juan Epstein (Hot 97’s Cipha Sounds and Peter Rosenberg) discovers a provocative young talent on the streets of New York City. Something tells me we haven’t heard the last of Prince Metropolis Nome.

It’s always funny when people get really worked up about Pokémon. Oh, and if you don’t think Pokémon is hip hop, look no further than the permanently gun-toting Blastoise.

Bonus:  a quick search for "gangsta pokemon" brought me this.

An interesting follow up to knobbz stellar interview.

Ranking among Hip-Hop on the exclusive list of things I truly love in this world: mexican food.  Thats right, greasy, down and dirty, sand in your ass Mexican Food.  A San Diego taco shop is often my happy place when I am suffering the Canadian winter.  To tell you the truth, I can think of nothing more congruous with the essence of my being than a steaming carne asada burrito smothered in salsa that makes your eyes water. 

My brother, also a product of the southern california lifestyle, shares my obsession.  So when he moved to NYC recently he lamented for a proper mexican place.  The search began.  And he turned his search into a blog called Lost Taco.  I mention it mostly because he’s my brother, but also because its important info (especially if your in the area) and its pretty funny.  

I dedicate this song to you brave taco hunter.

Looks like people are starting to take notice of Pac Division, a major deal, now a McDonalds jingle? If you know me personally I don’t mess with McDonalds but I can’t hate on this, hopefully they got paid in $$ and not in Value Meals.

If you are throwing up the golden arches on the block, you can enter a contest to do your own version over here. Thanks Jen.

It’s crazy to think of a musical group actually capturing the moment of truth on video. Thank god for technology.

Like from Pac Div freestyles:

And if you don’t know, now you know.

OK. So I love Pink Floyd (especially Wish You Were Here) and Termanology. But I don’t know how much I like this? The beat is banging, except for the sped up David Gilmour Sample (which might be banging too, I am a hater.) Take a listen.

Reflect.
