08 definitely was not the best of years, yet not the worst. Not to sound to Melodramatic.
Don't chase paper, Plant trees and watch them grow.
...I could never rap for shit but man i loved being dead smack in the middle of a cipha

I haven't listened to the Juan Epstein with EPMD yet, i'm saving it for work tomorrow. But you can check it out before me.
Dj Clark Kent is that dude. I had the pleasure of meeting him last year at Spirits in the Hard Rock and he tore the club down. Very personable and i think that is the reason i lost my job at that club. i was working as a barback and i spent the night walking to the booth every chance i got to talk to him. The next day they fired me lol. I made sure i made the most of the opportunity to pay my respects to a true dj an easily one of my influences.
Big ups to my man Cesar Santos for putting me on to this vid.
......he is also known as Barry McGee.

12oz Prophet is a site that is right up my alley. I just wish they would have put out more mags. I copped the 12oz with the Twister cover back when it dropped. i ended up losing it. Now that mag is worth like 150. It was dope a mag while it lasted. The flix were clean and it had a couple shots from Wiz Art in Rhode Island who was one of my Graff influences.
Good to see that 12oz has become so much more than a graff mag. i came across these joint on their site and i had to jack it (PAUSE). If you don't know who KR is then do your homework, but he recently designed these AF1 and I dont know if they come with the Marker but if they do thats a double whammy. i love that graffiti and hip hop has gotten involved in the corporate world but still has maintained a sense of exclusiveness. Hip Hop just makes everything better doesn't it??
Sorry about the consecutive posts about relationships. lets lighten up the mood with this classic throw back. Probably my all time favorite Rakim track and recently i came across one of the sample used for the beat by accident. But i didn't see the video till recently and its completely different from the album cut. I bought Let the rhythm hit em on a reprint so i didn't know that there were two versions. There is always something to learn about hip hop.
Today out of extreme bordem at work i came to this conclusion about relationships.
When it comes to relationships, it is either Chess or Checkers. You can play smart and strategically maneuver your way to your King or Queen, Or you can just jump over everyone until your the only one left (Or until you have a red dot strategically placed some where on your body).
your thoughts?
Its just a little saying I made up in high school to expression my frustration towards girls. Which now would translate to my frustration towards women (Not that I have any!).
