Two Thousand And Eight \/\/r@p Up
Ask me about '08....In '07, I would've told you, I would do anything to get out of 2007 and dive head first into the '08. Was it worth it to do so? Hell yeah!
What better way to kick off the year than to be piss drunk at some strange broad's house with an uber wasted Ben Ghrim? Lemme tell you...we got high at my crib then left to say what it do to some ugly heauxs. I got yelled at for trying to drink from a bottle of Bacardi, no cup, might I add? Haha, so we got cups, me and Ace were fine, sippin' and blimpin' was our expertise...but, Mr.Ghrim, that was his first time with Mary Jane...He got so damn gone, he was sitting on the stairs one moment, then he was gone the next, probably upstairs. The '08 came into fruition and we went back to my crib, my first night in the '08 was spent sleepless, for Ghrim was snoring like a lumberjack cutting down a tree.
(Here you can see Ace on the left, his sweat-pitted chick at the time, my target for the night and a few weeks after, Ghrim in the corner, and my left arm on the right, you see me?)
Osh Kosh B'gosh....I had some of the lamest times of my life at St.Bernard-High School, it was my fault for cashing in my chips at St.X and just plain not going to class at SCPA...you live and you learn. So over the course of the new year, a lot of shit was unfolding. My step sister had been moved to a foster home and such, and my step brother, Stuntman a.k.a Metalman was getting super serious with his girlfriend. At the beginning of my St.Bernard year, I didn't have enough credits to be in 12th grade, so I was given two independent studies to give me enough credits to graduate in the '08 like I was supposed to. Those weren't done 'til the tale end of the school year...
So...the specific month escapes me, ask Esquire or Ghrim, they both were being considered for expulsion at St.X. From what I remember, it was a decent day at my school. I came home to a text from Ace like, the school caught Sheldon on tape stealing an iPod....Let me rewind, Ace and Ghrim had this hustle, they used to jack backpacks for wallets and gadgets to sell or keep. I had no problem, it wasn't me, I pass no judgement. They cut me in, Ace got me an iPod one time, I still got it. He came through one weekend with a 30 GB White iPod, with all the Lil' Wayne your heart could desire on it. Shit went down, he had to give it back, they expelled Ghrim, then Ace. Life changing times it was...This led to Ghrim's parents not being in favor of Ace, it made recording at my crib nearly impossible if they caught wind of his presence there. Eventually, Ace and Ghrim enrolled into Life Skills, where Stuntman also enrolled, legend has it, he only attended for the first three days. Ace and Ghrim finished earning their credits in a matter of weeks, leaving them from May-ish 'til September to start college. By this time, I had been convinced to attend WSU with Ace, Ghrim and Storm at the time. Things changed and only Ace and I went to WSU.
(I couldn't find the black and white handcuffed picture of you, Ace, so if you got it, help a bother out)
Ok, so everything's straight for those cats. Stuntman got caught with his girlie in our room while I was at school, so my mom booted him out the crib, turned out, they were pregnant. Hot damn! A lot of dark shit came to the light, sending my step dad to jail, leaving me to help out 100x more around the house than usual. I graduated, finishing my independent studies the week before. That Summer, Ace and I smoked every weekend, recorded some of the illest songs and freestyles known to Third World Records, and we learned what it would be like to live amongst each other in a college dormitory. Eventually, my mom contacted her friend's daughter to babysit the kids because she saw I no longer wanted to do it. The summer went by super slow as we awaited the day we'd ship off to school. By this time, Ghrim had finally started to show his face in the studio and Johnny Storm had quit the group for unknown reasons at the time.

Alright, so, we got M.I.C done, we burned a lot of copies and signed the first copy for memories. Shit was a little slow, see, me and Ace moved into our room early because he had this writing workshop, so we had the opportunity to see campus before a lot of the other residents. It kicked off quickly after that. A lot of talented young women, tree hustlers, ego conflicts and friends. Our third roommate was supposed to be this guy named Chris, he called me a few weeks before school to inform me, he had broken both of his legs in a car accident and would not attend that year...I saw it as a gift/curse. A curse because he was gonna be a cool ass roommate, a gift, because we were two cats in a three person room, sweet! We eventually got a third roommate, this computer using, gaming, PIMP! He's dating a 20 year old teacher, score. As we embarked on this journey, we went to multiple Frat parties, got down with these two hot heauxs(unfinished business), met the Green Team and we had this show we were supposed to rock that was supposed to be packed. Like 7 people showed up, plus Ill Poetic, M.O., his chick and her friend.
(Me and Ace at the show, him showing the Third World chain)
(I may be with all these hot heauxs, but I want you)
(Boogie getting his mac on, taking credit for my bush seat at the box)
(Me and Ace kickin' it at somebody's crib, Everclear is a bitch, FACE....GONE!)
The good times at college started to decline, but they were still there. M.O. started to visit and we got right, that's how we made the first half of The Original Cin Mixtape. It all started with "A Dolla"...wow.... M.O. got in trouble for graffitting "The M.O. Hour" on the asphalt in the parking lot, and Ace and I had a run in with the law. Break started and we've been bored since. I thought I wasn't gonna return to school because I didn't want to, but looking back on all that we've created there, connections, friendships, "Hoes", a legacy, a fake fraternity and such, why leave it behind?
As the end draws nearer and nearer, I can only think of the good things in store for next year, experienced old heauxs, beer pong, sizzurp blunts, getting zooted, midnight booty calls, the smoke circle, and so much more.
As for the pimp move of the year, that one is still in the air.
Is it my move? In the middle of two chicks making out, I go, "Take them panties off,though", and somehow, someway, they came off....
Is it Ace's move? In a mixed group of guys and girls he goes, "I don't even call heauxs, hoes" and the group responded back, "Right, right".
Or is it Ben's move? He brought a proportionate, very nice looking woman to Ace's before they left for the mall where she bought him a Black Label shirt and a black and white Cincinnati 59/50.
All pimp in the most thizzle way, but who will claim Stuntman's title of "Pimp Of The Year"? Stuntman won back in '07 for the same move Ghrim performed, except the chick wasn't that fine, but the hat is super pimp, and she gave us a ride to school every morning, toasty! We'll decide when it comes to it.

BoiLooka Here!!!
Aite, mic check one two one two....I guess this thing is on. Im currently on my friend's laptop at his house and giving him pointers for when he start college (they grow up so fast). Before I started this post I looked up friends of this girl who stalked me for about a month and a half, on and off.....stalking I meant. Now I'm listening to the Rugrats movie theme, Mya was the s***....in other news. Now, in recent events it seemed that I was "LoveStoned" and couldn't get out that slump 'til MZA told in less words, "the weather outside is weather". You can't change the hands you are dealt with, you just have the ability to move to the next table and attempt to make something happen so with that being said, I have gotten another aspect on life,
Just Live Life. So, this post was pointless save this message......I AM BACK! Get down or lay down...

Pristine Cuisine
Anybody remember square Laffy Taffy's, the Fritos in the blue and orange bag, and blue Hawaiian Punch, before they ditched it and brought it back?
Timeless
Well, as it turns out, my music links were shit, which will probably lead Mr.Esquire to say, those songs don't exist, no mind. I came up with the following concept years ago, but never named it. Ace also had an idea for our sophomore album to be a double disc feature, it is still a possibility.
My idea with Timeless is just to make music for the purpose of music. Not for popularity and recognition, but for the personal satisfaction of making GOOD music. The basic keys to timeless music, mention no names of contemporary celebrities, technologies or music artists, and never mention the date you are recording in.
Here's what I'm thinking here, timelessness in music can be broken down in 4 aspects: The Best Times, The Worst Times...here, the listener can learn more about the band through our trials and tribulations, as well as our achievements and triumphs. The next disc, Ahead Of The Times will introduce a real Hip Hop vibe to the set, with stories, concept songs, and tracks with extreme depth. The last disc, Out Of Time....this is currently undefined...this disc could be the collaboration disc, we got this band we're tryna fuck with right now at school, 3rd Pine.
From now on, when we make tracks, they're going in the Timeless pool. We also gotta focus on what's gonna happen next year, school wise, y'all see me?

West Coast Vs. East Coast
This conversation sparked this past weekend. Ace said something on the grounds of West Coast and East Coast feuds, I'm like there's no more West-East beef. He's like, did the ambassadors(Suge Knight and P.Diddy) of either side apologize to each other? To my knowledge, I said no, he said the beef goes on. On the contrar', monfrare, the beef is long over, how do I know?
Big L featuring 2Pac "Deadly Combination" from the 2000 release, The Big Picture. Ignore the Biggie Smalls, he's not on the track at all. This had to be recorded sometime before 1996, the East-West was still going on, Pac: L.A., Big L: Harlem...you tell me...

Um...ok....yeah...no..
To be honest I have the slightest idea what to talk about; but I'm bored as shit and all wii-ed out. But boilook this was a pretty fun weekend, just cold chillin wit fellow M.T. Bagians. Got a high for the first time in weeks, felt amazing; then we feasted like italian kings. ONCE AGAIN, I can't wait to get back to college it was the okayest time of my life; and now that Mza's coming back conmigo everything should be primo. But I really wish something would happen like now. Seriously the more I look forward to getting back, the slower time goes..
Hey wanna hear something funny? I worked for UPS for two weeks of this break and didn't report into to work not once. And even has I sit here watching Knocked Up, I have a check waiting on me...why, cuz I'm real cot like that.
I really wish I could be somewhere else. SAVE ME IF YOU LOVE ME.

"I Wanna Take You Down"
Well, this weekend was full of memories, reflection, and realizations. See, the band was getting together to put down some music.....Well, thus far, we haven't done too much on that. We were in the middle of recording this hot track,but duty called for Ghrim's swaggerless-swag and we shipped out to score some green shirts from his P.A.N.C.A.K.E lady. Well, we didn't get those, so we played Wii for a spell. I scored big in Sonic Tennis, but was later equalized by Ghrim and Ace in Golf and Bowling. Fun shit. We sat down and discussed the band and the future of ourselves in general. Are we gonna base our act up at Wright or UC next year? After much deliberation, we still haven't decided, we'll see how the new year goes.
Prior to Ghrim's arrival, Boogie was looking at old cartoons at retrojunk.com because he got pissed off at Fox's line-up, which includes a remake of "Biker Mice From Mars". A cartoon I have never heard of prior to his off-pissing, this escalated into us diving deeper into our childhood cartoons. Street Sharks, Mummies Alive, C-Bear & Jamal, Stickin' Around, Kablam!, Detention, Recess, Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes, The Tick, and some other shit. It was good to remember that shit, you know? When you see the shit they put on tv now, it's like, we murdered our culture....It's sad.
So, after a long day of reminiscing and thinking about life, n!99@$ got hungry. So, me and Ghrim walk to Micky D's...It's usually all ish, well, that one time. So what? Yeah, it was 4 in the morning. We came up to the drive thru window, no vehicle, like pimps. The manager walks past and acts like he doesn't see us. We gave him the benefit of the doubt, maybe he didn't see us. He walked past again, and this time with a fat ol employee. They start talkin' and shit, and I knew they saw us that time. I'm hungry and pissed...I think of ways to get my burgers and fries, maybe I should climb through the window, no, it'll look like attempted robbery.
The manager comes out for a smoke break and I ask him if they're open. He says no and they don't open til 5. Hmm, I was always led to believe the drive thru service is offered 24/7. So, Ghrim came up with the idea to boycott McDonald's and take them corporate bitches down.....................Just another day in the life of M.T. Bag, Heaux!

To Live And Die In T.V.
Since I've been on Winter Break, I've had plenty of time to kick and do whatever, and I mean whatever. If my music computer hadn't crashed, I'd have like thirty more beat albums,but we can't have our cake and eat it too.
So, I've been watching a lot of daytime television, a lot of which has been on for some time and I'm just now discovering them. For example, The Micahel and Julie show, I think that's what it's called, Trivial Pursuit, and The Rachel Ray Show (Since when do cooks have talk shows?).
A lot of what I've been watching is a family favorite, The Cosby Show. I thought about it, what do the old school girlies from tv look like now? Results may vary...
Lark Voorhies of Saved By Bell, time has been good to her, well, only because she's not that old, you see?
Last time I saw her, to my knowledge, was in High How as Method Man's girl. Hell yeah!
Lisa Bonet, more known as Denise Huxtable from The Cosby Show...Holy shit! What happened? If I could travel back to the '80's.....
Keshia Knight Pulliam aka Rudy Huxtable....I always thought, Rudy ain't the cutest child on tv, but when Chingy's "One Call Away" video came out, I ate those words with the quickness. She's got a way to go.
Let's kick it old school though.
Bernadette Stanis also known as Thelma from Good Times....not bad...but she was killin' 'em softly on Good Times.
Tatyana Ali and Karyn Parsons of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, better known as Ashley and Hilary Banks.
Sorta, kinda the same. They still got it. We'll see, though...
Still bored, recording 2morrow!

LP of my life
Apparently we are doing an entire LP tomorrow and Sunday, two days to see the growth from "Million Dollar Dream" to "In Third Place" to right now....im going to break down our growth, how I see it thus far, my opinion chill, and let 'em know why they shouldn't be surprised that we are doing this. Na, Ima just do me...I can't judge their growth.
Ghrim/ Drake wanna-be : He came a long way, when he first stepped to the mic he had no studio swag even though he had champion-status lines (listen to our music to see, im the guy that usually speaks the deepest and i'm barely audible: ) he just couldn't get the message across. You eventually saw growth as August came and went and he even got a nod from (Young) Stuntman and the MZA so with that being said I go into this with a lil more confidence, im not the most lyrical, just catchy like hell, ask the group I swear I hear my lines in random convo's (no cockiness).
So I'm eff'n ready like ya wife to blow harder/ When I beat it and forsaked it I left her cross, Love's Martyr/ Dog all you want im more of a match for your wife's cat/ Wierd nigga pullin' model types, Ghrim Maher/.......
I freestyled that.....

Stoner Charm - How I see MT Bag
Okay, peep game (shouts out to Boogie), I went to my job today to check my schedule and rub some elbows for a minute but it was busy so I stayed about ten minutes....AND I wanted to show mo'fos how to style without size 64 jeans (they exist) and thermals and/or long tees that look like Affliction mixed with G-Unit throw-a-ways. Now anyone who knows Ghrim knows I don't stunt fashion, I believe you need to be able sow hearts, not clothes (write that down) but I get tight when people I know who don't know fashion try it and act like they are KingShit....let's just I looked good with what I had, proving you don't need fly shit to be the shit (write that also)....now, as I got home I thought and realized that it seems that those couple of days at work that I was low key and relaxed females just sprung convo like "wow, where was you when I was love stoned?!"...I brought it down like this, women, at least the types with good hearts and down to earth personality that I PHUCKING ADORE don't sweat guys that are all on them, and only want them when they want the D. I respect that alot 'cuz they know how to USE the lames and TREAT the real...they like a guy that has a small charm that he doesn't use, it's just there and he is very calm and relaxed. Stoner Charm. He doesn't have to be high but its just an expression. that's me. I only sweat girls when I need V and the chick is straight wife materia (shout out to Final Fantasy...get it, materia..stuff you combine to make items out of) but most girlss that hang with me or know me say I'm hella cool and think me like a brother, why? becuase Im there for a good time and me not being thirsty allows me to have a lil circulation and give them real talk. I talked to them like my niggas, and they respect the fact I don't hound 'em for the kitty (haha hound, kitty? lol, over the head). This is why people ask me for advice, its not as simple as I put but talk to me and I can open your eyes...that's why I like the rapper Drake (Jimmy-Degrassi), he just raps about fly shit but realize he had money before rap, he can truly enjoy the game but he never loses his hunger because he knows that cats are hating because of the fact I stated and he has nice metaphors and style...
I see it like this, Ghrim is Drake for his style and catchy shit he spit, not too over-the-head and maybe pop but he still please the backpacks with clever wordplay and lines.....
Ace is Negashi Armada for the crazy stuff he says but in the end it all relates and has cats like "AHH, good show LBS esq." Plus he is mad unique like I never been disappointed with my niggas verses...at all....
Empathy (yes, he is back niggas) is my homie, I remember when we actually, sat in study hall writing rhymes when we BOTH was on academic probation, with that being said I think the E-M-P is a Dr. Dre mixed with Charles Hamilton...see I think has that potential to drop that one classic that people will bump 14 years later and can easily appeal to the 'heads of the game with one sixteen. He is able to relate his past to great songs that HE can produce, not needing nobody to do it for him.....
LOL, yes we are good. In fact I explain that music is food to soul to my Aunt and she went beserk and (hold on, i gotta check my email.....not yet) will be sending me resources for different connects (free studio time, network connects) to holler at, so Matt and Boogie if you read befor 12/27 at 6p.m. just know you might be frequenting Cincy more, Merry Christmas, my whole family is Music, so expect to see me more because I swear I'ma personally shove our brand down your throat like I did Sarah Palin in Clobberin' Time 9! UNHHH!!!!
Say Wuuuutttt!

Americaneagleabercrombieandfitchhollisteraeropostale
So I went to Cincinnati Mills today to buy myself a wool coat. I stepped into Burlington Coat Factory like, "I'ma walk in, get the coat, and bounce." To my surprise, I spent 20 minutes looking for men's coats,but all I saw were suit jackets, slacks, and off brand t-shirts and polos. So I set myself on auto-pilot and ascended via the sliding steps. Eureka! There was a second floor with everything I was looking for.
Leather coats(pump action), nah! Down coats, it's not 6th grade anymore. I wanted the distinguished New Yorker coat. So I browsed through all the wool coats. All the ones that caught my eye were marked down from $200 to $140. Fuck that, that would be all my cash money. So I found a nice $80 London Fog coat, apparently they make nice coats. I dig it. I took it to the register and exited out the entrance. Ooh! Is that American Eagle? I went over there to see what the hype of this company was.
I step in and dude is all, "Hey, how you doin'? Can I help you find anything?" I said, "Gimme a chicken sandwich and some waffle fries...for FREE!" He started cryin', makin' a scene...ok, no. Let me run it back...
I step in and dude is all, "Hey, how you doin'? Can I help you find anything?" I thought about it and just blurted out, "Scarves...for men." He pointed me towards clearance. I never stepped in an American Eagle Outfitter before because they mainly sell Smedium and make skinny folks who wear large seem overweight...Keep in mind, I'm in clearance. So I'm looking at pullover hoodies, mainly small and medium sizes, they were going for $19.95, that was cool, if I was starving myself, I gotta eat.
I picked up a XXL, that sonbitch said $39.95...Hmm, I've spent more than that on an LRG hoodie, my problem with this piece of clothing,however, was how paper thin it was. I'm thinking, "This is the underwear of hoodies." You'd wear that thing when it's low-60 in Springtime. So I try to make my exit, dude goes, "Did you find your scarf?" I'm like, "Nah, man. None of this stuff is really my style." He goes, "Yeah, I understand, it's not for everybody."
So I leave thinking, why is it so hard for a man with style to survive in this world. First of all, not every Macy's location deals LRG, the big stores in Cincy Mills don't carry it either. They got all that expensive bullshit people buy just for the sake of saying they could afford it. You know what I'm talkin', Rocawear, House of Dereon, Crownholder, Miskeen, and all the other usual streetwears.
Let me break off into why I'm in love with Lifted Research Group. Well, sir, every knit, tee, or jean comes with the infamous brown tag with the LRG Mission Statement attached. Everytime you buy new threads from them, they have a signature smell of fresh attached.
"L-R-G is a company designed to overthrow the masses by using our influence. Our Slogan is simple, "underground inventive, overground effective." At L-R-G we want to focus on the ones that are trying to pay their rent with their passions. Think of us as a support group for the independent and underground culture."
LRG is definitely all that and a bag of chips. They're not afraid to push the boundaries of fashion and I got nothing but respect for them cats.
Back to your regularly scheduled program.
I stepped into the Bath And Body Works Outlet to get a post-X-Mas present for my mom. I purposefully stayed gruff(didn't shave) because everytime I walk in a B&BW location, they always think I'm shopping for myself. Why? I think it has to do with the fact I know a lot of the discontinued products by their names, Juniper Breeze and another that escapes me. It's the same story everytime, they always describe the scents and shit to me as if I'm gonna be bathing or coating myself with it. I'm always thinking, "Bitch, put my shit in the bag and stop asking questions!"
It's the same song, "Do you want to sign up for a membership? Would you like email notfications on sales?" It's bad enough my email always has adult friend seeker and Viagra ads in it all the time, do I really need Bath And Body Works in my shit?
So all and all...I did my thug thizzle, didn't spend too much cash, took care of business and I got some left over for a Thizzle weekend. Y'all know me, if Murdock gets $150, he goes to Exclusive Wear, cops an LRG outfit and a Cincinnati hat and calls it a day....
Kinda thought I'd share my day with you folks, bored.....
Oh, yes! I got a special woman coming to the "4 Chicks" section very soon, as soon as I get the technical info and whatnot. What do I mean? Shit, you just gotta stay tuned, Young Padawan learner....
The E-M-P'll Say P.E.A.C.E
What's BEEF?(Empathy's Top 5 Beefs)
In the course of rap music there's one element that will never die...BEEF. We've had some good ones. If the Beef is really good, it always splits the best of friends on opinions. I've had the 2Pac and Biggie argument many a times with my step brother and cousin. My opinion changes every few years, growing up, I was in Pac's corner, during my teen years, I was pro-Biggie, nowadays, I change my mind every two minutes.
Tupac Shakur VS. The Notorious B.I.G
I mean, these dudes are the best to ever do it, for real. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony is the only group to ever collaborate with both artists. They both sold records like it was going out of style, whether living or posthumously. It's amazing to me the amount of classic songs they recorded. You know, Biggie with, "The Warning", "The What", "Unbelievable", "Ten Crack Commandments", "You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Kills You", and the list goes on. His cameos were second to none, "Brooklyn's Finest" with Jigga Jay-Z, "Notorious Thugs"(Though I don't think he murdered Bizzy Bone with his verse) and "Victory" with Puffy for example. 2Pac, though his shit talk probably got him casketed, or inspired him to fake his death and hide in Cuba, he was the muthafuckin' realest. "Dear Mama", "I Just Don't Give A Fuck", "Pain", "Str8 Ballin' ", and "All Eyez On Me". His guest spots were shittin' too, "Smile" with Scarface and "Deadly Combination" with Big L.
When it comes to beef, people think of it on different levels than others. I know when Jay-Z and NaS had beef, a lot of people at school based it on lyrics and album sales. When it comes to records, Pac was the victor easily, he continued to sell records well after he died. Lyrically, most say Pac and Biggie were evenly matched, others will take a side. Some think of it on who had better beats...in the beginning, Biggie's beats were killing it, but as 2Pac's career grew, his beats were top notch.
Jigga Jay-Z Vs. Nasty NaS
The biggest beef since Pac and Biggie. It spawned from so many different areas, I question if it really happened.....ok, it did. It could've happened when Jaz-O pulled Benedict Arnold on Hov and joined NaS in diss tracks. It could've spawned from Jay-Z having relations with Esco's baby's mother, Carmen Bryan, and rapping about it. Either way, this was a beef to remember. Ok, another torn situation.
If you look at it, you can look at it from a commercial P.O.V and say, Jay sells more records, I know more from this guy than Nas. That's how my aunt saw it, she can't stand Nas. I used to be biased and not like him either just because she didn't. My borrowed my uncle's copy of I AM... and went ape shit, like this dude is dope, you ain't hearing this man. I downloaded Illmatic and he went right next to Jay-Z on my list. So I became torn, Jay-Z has his semi-lyrical-sell-records-flow and Nas has that intelligent poet aspect. I dug both. Hov makes me bop my head, Nasty makes me think.
Some people think of it like who's classic is hotter? Reasonable Doubt or Illmatic, honestly, I can't listen to either front to back, so neither is a classic in my book. BLASPHEMY! So? My opinion, I'm entitled to it...
When it comes to beef songs, EVERYBODY knows NaS took the cake with "Ether", BUT, BUT, BUT, if Hov had released "Supa Ugly" and "Blueprint2" a little earlier, he could've competed. The only thing hot about "The Takeover" was the beat, Jay-Z ain't a battler, he just kills the rappers in his way, nuff said.
Common Sense Vs. Ice Cube
This was a shortlived unheard of beef. It came from when Common released his song "I Used To Love H.E.R". The song was written to make you think he was talking about a woman, but by the last line, the listener finds out he's referring to Hip-Hop. Ice Cube took this song as a diss because Common said:
"But then she broke to the west coast, and that was cool
Cause around the same time, I went away to school
And Im a man of expandin, so why should I stand in her way
She probably get her money in l.a.
And she did stud, she got big pub but what was foul
She said that the pro-black, was goin out of style
She said, afrocentricity, was of the past
So she got into r&b hip-house bass and jazz
Now black music is black music and its all good
I wasnt salty, she was with the boys in the hood
Cause that was good for her, she was becomin well rounded
I thought it was dope how she was on that freestyle shit
Just havin fun, not worried about anyone
And you could tell, by how her titties hung"
Ice Cube took it as a diss because he thought Common was implying the West Coast killed HipHop. So these two beefed or whatever, and both tracks were wack, honestly, they're back friends though.
Canibus Vs. LL Cool J
Alright, I see it like this. LL Cool J is the one who started it. They were doing this track "5,4,3,2,1". So Canibus in a rhyme asks LL if he can borrow the mic on his arm, the tattoo...LL took offense to it and rewrote his line, kinda sittin' Canibus down in the verse. Since then, they went at. Canibus on his first album called in a favor from Mike Tyson to talk some shit before his diss track "Second Round Knockout". If you ask me, the track was ok. The beat was cool, I guess, and the lyrics were standard Canibus lyrics. The winner of this beef was LL Cool J because he's more recognized in the mainstream and he came a little harder than Canibus, delivery wise. Ask me, Canibus should've won it. Since the end of this beef, Canibus' career has been under a rock, which is why he tried to resurrect himself in this next beef.
Eminem Vs. Canibus
Sorry for the wack pic.... Well, if I've learned ONE thing in life, it's, don't fuck with Eminem. Eminem half heartedly beat ICP with one full diss, a half diss and a skit. Later in his career, Benzino, with two tracks and Ja Rule with one.....Leave that man alone. Canibus started a beef with Eminem on his album "C! True Hollywood Stories" with the theme of the first track. The song starts with Canibus seeing Stan, from Eminem's song, "Stan", drive off of the bridge. Canibus then goes in after him and saves him. He then does a perspective track called "You Didn't Care" where he goes in as Stan and tells Eminem.....well, he didn't care about him. There's a skit on the album where Stan sits in a limo with Canibus and he freaks out about all the candy in the car. He goes ,"Hey, Canibus, you want some M&M's?" Canibus then says, "I don't eat M&M's." Low blows all around. Eminem then murders Canibus with a joke track, "Canibitch" which never actually released, thus burying Can-I-Bus....sad.
Canibus still makes music though, he updates his Myspace frequently, and he STILL raps about how nobody listens to him. The last time I followed Canibus, he had just released Poet Laureate Unlimited, a 1,000 bar track that would prove him the greatest of all time....even in its release, this dude was ok on it, he didn't say anything. His music was much better when he wasn't tryna prove anything.....whoa, I got away from myself there.
Any other beef out there, simply doesn't matter, like G-Unit vs G-Unit, or Lil' Wayne vs Jay-Z, Twista vs Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Gucci Mane vs Jeezy and less importantly Lil' Romeo vs Lil' Bow Wow, ha, what the fuck them boys talkin' bout?

Can't Ban The Snowman
"It's like a cycle, niggas come home, some'll go in
Do a bullet, come back, do the same shit again
From the womb to the tomb, presume the unpredictable
Guns salute life, rapidly, that's the ritual"
- Nas "Verbal Intercourse"
Wise words, though the lyric refers to street life, I think you can expand the street prophet's words a little more.
As the year comes to a close, you kind of think about birth and rebirth. I was watching VH1's 30 Years of Hip Hop. I began to think about the old saying, "History repeats itself". That's inevitable. Then I saw a phone commercial, you know a person's voice mail is personified in front of them and what not? Well, they showed a snowman, how festive. The snowman began to melt and I began to think....
Existence is one big ass continuous cycle. I know I shed some light on this idea in an earlier post,but this idea is getting more dynamic in my head.
A snowman, for instance, has been a snowman billions of times if you think about it. The water in the water cycle isn't new, we've been sippin' the same water for billions of years. The ice cubes in your freezer may have been there several times previously. You see?
I compared this to human life. So I think of this Nicole Kidman movie, "Birth". In the film, her husband dies and then this kid claims to be her husband.....Ok, it's not the best idea to derive your knowledge from a movie, but movies represent beliefs and ideas, shiiiit....why can't reincarnation be true?
If you're getting into this idea, then you might wonder if animals can come back and such...Well, I don't know for a fact,but I learned in a World Cultures class about the resurrection scale or whatever mess. See, some culture believed when you die, depending on the life you led, you'd return either higher or lower on the social ladder. Some beliefs state you could return as an animal, others just thought you'd either come back richer or poorer.
I haven't developed my thoughts yet on the grounds of being an animal.........I think too much.
Carry on....

P.S.- I wonder if Tom of Myspace has a Facebook page....haha, that would be funny.
Don't Quit Your Day Job
***Before I write this post, I would like to keep a mental note: LRG NOW SELLS THEIR CLOTHING FROM THEIR WEBSITE*** To the LRG illiterate, this a breakthrough!
Back in my day, whenever somebody found their niche, they stuck to it. Like Mike....Michael Jordan,b-ball legend, he crossed over to the baseball and shoes....Michael Jackson, King of Pop, then he became a babysitter....Mike Tyson, knocked a negro out with the first punch, then he just became a spectacle. Remember when rappers were rappers and thugs were thugs?
In the words of Talib Kweli, "All these thug niggas wanna rap/And all these rap niggas wanna thug/And all ya'll fuckin' the game up"....
Now everybody is dabbling in everything they can get their hands on. Jay-Z with his 9IX spray, 50 with a reality show, and Tim McGraw planning to make music with T-Pain....
This business mogul-ness isn't new though, during the turn of the music for business, we all saw the hunger to sell ringtones and singles. We all remember the release of Glaceau's Vitamin Water with head endorsor, 50 Cent, and before that, G-Unit sneakers. Even Hov took a stab at Reebok with his S Dot Carters, and R.Kelly too.
Whoever doesn't knock at Reebok or Nike's door for their own shoe is a mad man, but most people have to know where to draw the line. The biggest disappointment in my opinion was the launch of Eminem's "Shady Limited" line. I purchased G-Unit clothing before Eminem, Guerilla Unit's heavyweight hoodies are comfortable as shit, their jeans are just ugly. My problem with Shady Ltd is the wack advertisement and the fact they sell it in Kohl's...If you're a clothing heavyweight, you're at Dr.Jay's, Exclusive Wear(Provided there's one outside of Ohio and Kentucky), Turntable Lab, and even Macy's.
Enough of the business, let me switch back to the music. One thing I can't stand is celebrities who crossover from whatever they became famous for and start singing. I.E: Bruce Willis "Respect Yourself", Don Johnson "Heartbeat" and Eddie Murphy back by Rick James "Party All The Time".
Some people who've done this today, are still under my radar. The best to ever do it is, Jamie Foxx. When he came out with Unpredictable, I was convinced. He's gotten lazy with his "Just Like Me" track, so he's back on probation. The bootiest to step behind the mic...I know he doesn't do it because he's a rapper.....Mike Epps "Big Girls". This song is more cheeks than Mr.Cheeks himself.
A little post X-Mas thinking...
The E-M-P'll Say P.E.A.C.E
Back in my day, whenever somebody found their niche, they stuck to it. Like Mike....Michael Jordan,b-ball legend, he crossed over to the baseball and shoes....Michael Jackson, King of Pop, then he became a babysitter....Mike Tyson, knocked a negro out with the first punch, then he just became a spectacle. Remember when rappers were rappers and thugs were thugs?
In the words of Talib Kweli, "All these thug niggas wanna rap/And all these rap niggas wanna thug/And all ya'll fuckin' the game up"....
Now everybody is dabbling in everything they can get their hands on. Jay-Z with his 9IX spray, 50 with a reality show, and Tim McGraw planning to make music with T-Pain....
This business mogul-ness isn't new though, during the turn of the music for business, we all saw the hunger to sell ringtones and singles. We all remember the release of Glaceau's Vitamin Water with head endorsor, 50 Cent, and before that, G-Unit sneakers. Even Hov took a stab at Reebok with his S Dot Carters, and R.Kelly too.
Whoever doesn't knock at Reebok or Nike's door for their own shoe is a mad man, but most people have to know where to draw the line. The biggest disappointment in my opinion was the launch of Eminem's "Shady Limited" line.

"When They Reminisce Over You, My God!"
I've been watching a lot of old Simpsons episodes lately...I miss the Golden Age of the show, when it was funny the whole way through. Compared to the newer episodes, I noticed a lot cool characters are no longer on the show. Creep with me as we walk down memory lane.
Bleeding Gums Murphy- Ok...he's dead, but he was a cool mofo. The midnight saxophone player was my favorite character, he had the most soul of any character in any cartoon ever.
Wendell- He rarely spoke to my knowledge and he was always sick, I don't know why they don't have him on the show anymore.
Hans Moleman- "He tastes like a peanut". Hmm...not very important, but it was funny for him to pop in every once in a while.
Lionel Hutz- The worst lawyer I've ever seen. He used to chase ambulences and the most classic thing I've ever seen, he forgot to wear his slacks to the courtroom one episode, CLASSIC!
Dr.Nick- "Hello, everybody! (Hi, Dr.Nick!)" He's just a quack.
Disco Stu- I don't know jack shit about him, but his cameos were funny as shit. I remember one episode, the one where ex-president George H. Bush moves in, the Simpsons have a yard sale. Homer had a jacket where he was trying to spell "Disco Stud" on the back, but ran out of space, thus, "Disco Stu". Some guy was like, 'Stu, you should buy that.' Disco Stu goes,'Disco Stu doesn't advertise.'
Ottoman- The rock'n'roll bus driver. My favorite episode with this guy, he was living with the Simpsons and whatnot. Otto told Bart, "Your dad's right, I am a bum." Bart said, "He didn't call you a bum, he called you a sponge." Otto gets pissed and starts punching the wall.
Hmm....randomness, that was cool.

New LRG Video Film
"Clobberin' Time 9" came out much earlier than I expected. You can cop it at your local liquor store, dope spot or at the welfare office. We got a new film coming, starring us all for your Christmas pleasures.
I even gotta step back and laugh at this one.
Happy Christmas, from The Most Thizzle Boys And Girls

Maestro!
As music listeners, we focus on few things about it, that is, if you don't commit your life to it. See, me with music, matches the passion an archaeologist has for his/her job. To the average person who has interest in neither, you probably will never understand why some people are the way they are. I don't know why people would want to play in dirt all day, but that's the beauty of diversity and the fact every human being is as different as a falling snowflake. One thing archaeologists and I have in common is the fact we like to dig. They dig for bones and pots, I dig for records. What am I getting at, this is a top list of my favorite Hip-Hop producers, duh. These guys don't get enough credit.
The RZA- He's the most prolific producer known to man. He produced every Wu-Tang group album, nearly topped the score on the solo projects and has provided the score to American Gangster and Afro Samurai. He's a genius, he's the reason I call myself The MZA. He also produced his break off group, Da Gravediggaz. Albums he produced are all basically labeled as classics. He's known for his unique style of blending soul samples, extracting bass lines and utilizing audio clips of Kung-Fu flicks. ***Notable prodcutions*** (Albums)Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, Liquid Swords(except the track B.I.B.L.E), Ironman, and Tical***
Kanye West- I mention this dude every chance I get. To the average hater, he's untalented and annoying. Ok, I'll give you annoying,but untalented isn't right. He broke into the industry when he produced a track for Beanie Sigel and it's been history since. Mr.West went on to produce four tracks on Jay-Z's critically acclaimed album, The Blueprint. My favorite beat from West came off of Jay-Z's Blueprint 2, "Poppin' Tags". Me and my uncle used to bump that track everytime we were in his car. Of course he entirely produced all four of his albums, he's done tracks for Keyshia Cole, Alicia Keys, and a plethora of artists. His best productions come from Common's albums, Be and Finding Forever, it's just classic.
Timbaland- "Timbo KING!!!" You were probably conceived to the rhythm of Timbaland's crazy melodies, Ginuwine, I mean. He's known for sticking to artists for years at a time, Aaliyah, Missy Elliot, Bubba Sparxxx, Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z, most notably. Ludacris has a few Tim' beats, The Game, 50 Cent, you can recognize his style. (Chicka-chicka-bsssh) Ahem!....Yeah. Though I have caught Timbo slippin' every now and then, this is a call to action, unless you already know...There's a track on Bubba Sparxxx's album,Deliverance, that sounds exactly like Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me A River", I swear. There's another one, Justin Timberlake's "My Love", he gave Bobby Valentino the same beat, just sped up for, "Anonymous". Haha, my favorite beat from Tim has to be....Jay-Z's "Big Pimpin' ". Why? Did you know it's a sample, just reworked? It comes from an Indian artist Hossam Ramzy. That's a real producer for you.
DJ Toomp- He produces a lot for T.I., some of my favorite T.I.P. songs actually, "24's", "U Don't Know Me" and "What You Know?". He co-produced Kanye's "Can't Tell Me Nothing" and "Good Life" and he fully produced "Big Brother" off of the Graduation album. My favorite beat from Toomp, he gave it to Jay-Z, "Say Hello" from American Gangster, that is the wickedest beat Hov ever spat on....You know the rapid hats, the ill ass replayed sample and the premise, amazing song.
The Runners- Ok, there's two of 'em, fuck it! They broke out on the scene with Rick Ross' "Hustlin' ". They produced a lesser known track for Jim Jones "Reppin' Time". They've done multiple tracks for Lil' Wayne, Chris Brown, Keyshia Cole, Rick Ross, and they basically handle all the production on DJ Khaled's albums. Their signature is the "Aah!" before every beat,it sounds like a refreshing gasp after drinking something. I used to complain every beat they made sounded the same, but I grew into the sound. Ok, favorite beat....I'm stuck between Lil Wayne's "Money On My Mind" and Jim Jones "Reppin' Time", the got skills!
9th Wonder- His most buzzworthy productions come from his work with Little Brother and MURS. Wonder's expertise is doing collaboration albums with his artists. MURS, Buckshot, Jean Grae, and Skyzoo. Wonder is famous on the Internet for remxing Nas' God's Son album and Jay-z's Black Album. His most famous track is probably "Threats" off of Jay-Z's Black Album. 9th Wonder is famous for his use of the digital beat making program, Fruity Loops, now FL Studio. My favorite tune 9th produced would have to be Erykah Badu's "Honey". Sweet!
DJ Premier- This one is for the old school heads. Primo is simply the best in my opinion. Not every beat he's done is top notch, but his scratching skills cannot be fucked with. His expertise is scratching vocal samples to make them complete choruses. He was in the famous duo, Gang Starr with emcee, Guru. For some recent examples of his work, in 2007,he provided the scratched chorus for Common's "The Game". My favorite Primo beats have to be "Nas Is Like" and Common's "The Sixth Sense".
Jim Jonsin- "Hey,Jim". Yes, it's T.I.'s "Whatever You Like" man and before that, Weezy's "Lollipop" guy. This dude has some history, prior to the release of "Lollipop", I was led to believe Lil' Jon produced Trick Daddy's "Let's Go!". Surely enough, it was this guy. Before that, he broke out with Pitbull's "Damnit Man", which is known here in Cincinnati as Tocka's "Do Da Down Away". Jim also produced Mike Jones' "Cuddy Buddy", ugh. He also did Pretty Ricky's "Grind On Me" and "Your Body". More famously, he did Jamie Foxx's "Unpredictable". He's also done beats for Twista, Bow Wow, Trina, Michelle Williams, Beyonce and Soulja Boy's new one "Kiss Me Thru The Phone." I used to complain Jim's beats sounded, the same, but after realizing all the tracks he's been behind, he's got an ill ass sound. My favorite beat by Jim is either Dannity Kane's "Showstopper" or Birdman and Lil' Wayne's "Leather So Soft".
Rick Rubin- Damn, this dude is behind the switchboards of EVERY great rock band you know. His most recent work is Metallica's Death Magnetic album. His most famous works, Hip-Hop wise, are with The Beastie Boys. He worked with AC/DC, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lil' Jon, Johnny Cash, The Smashing Pumpkins and the list goes on. My favorite Rubin beat by default is Jay-Z's "99 Problems". It was the most stand out production on The Black Album and I love the video. Thumbs up!
The Netpunes-"Yezzur!" Chad Hugo and Pharrell Williams, the illest boys to do it. Their story is amazing. After meeting in high school, they did a music project with each other, they made and sold the beat for Wreckx-N-Effect's "Rump Shaker" in 1992. From there they have produced for their artist, Kelis, The Clipse and others, Ol Dirty Bastard, Backstreet Boys, NaS, Nelly, N.O.R.E, Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, and Gwen Steffani. Whether producing albums in bulk, Kelis, or producing singles, Jay-Z, they know how to make you feel the vibe EVERY TIME. They've done a good job with Common's Universal Mind Control album. My favorite Neptunes beats.....quite a few, Snoop's "Drop It Like It's Hot" and "Beautiful", Gwen Steffani's "Candyland", a lot of Kelis songs, the greater part of Usher's 8701 album, and Jay-Z's "Excuse Me Miss", "Excuse Me Miss Remix(La La La)" and "I Know". They got some hotter ones for other artists,but you'd have to enter my mind.
I'm bushed....Original Cin Mixtape is on its way!!!
