I love this tape, that slap is just so my shit. All the versions I’ve found on the internet sound like shit, maybe 192 if your lucky so I decided to rip this the other day because I dj’ed a happy hour at the knockout last month and really wanted to play it really loud. I did and it made me smile.

awesome animated clip for killer mike’s “reagan”. for all my frustrations about political hip-hop, killa kill gets a million points for laying down the actual factual historical truth about what happened in the 80s that fucked so much of america backwards. no conspiracies (or at least, none that aren’t widely confirmed) and no “illuminati”. everyone that is young and angry should know about the war on drugs and privatized prisons.
we talk a lot because news is an industry and we have to generate conversations, but a lot of the problems in america are ridiculously simple. you don’t need to invoke secret societies or complex economic theory. killer mike lays it out pretty nicely: when you create a way for people to get rich off of putting young black men in jail, more young black men will end up in jail.
shout out to mr. lif and akrobatik’s “memorial day,” the hook of which is “WHERE ARE THE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION? WE BEEN LOOKIN FOR MONTHS AND WE AINT FOUND NOTHING.” no politics, no deconstruction, just pure fact: there’s nothing there and our government lied about it and we’re still here and we’re gonna die because of it. 🙁

THIS YOUR ANNUAL REMINDER: DON’T WEAR BLACKFACE FOR HALLOWEEN.
I know you wanna be Lil Wayne but if you don’t wear blackface yr gonna look like Ras Trent. Sorry dude. Just be Jody Highroller and keep it moving.
Really white people? you need a reminder?
Heard one song and decided I wanted the rest. I don’t know much about these dudes other than that they are from France. Found this on the Stonerobixxx blog. It’s some heavy banging sludge with plenty of static for that extra fun.
peep the bandcamp for more.

I still write things that are longer than 200 words on my actual site sometimes. Been a minute but it does happen.
Sometimes I also reblog things on the wrong account like my dumbass food blog

I want to live in an A-frame up in the mountains so bad. I love being in a city but I also hate neighbors.

Lately I’ve been thinking about the whole retro subgenre thing and it reminds me of the thrash revival that happened in metal a couple of years back. Thrash never really went away but it did get super boring for a bit and then a few years back a bunch of young bands popped up doing that style (warbringer, merciless death, havok, bonded by blood, zombie holocaust, Mantic Ritual, lich king).
There are some parallels but I think within rap which borrows and samples so much lines get more blurred especially when everyone wants to have fucking secrets. With metal they might borrow riffs or maybe do a cover they don’t really just go jacking for beats and drop youtube triangle wormholes.
It’s weird, like I’m excited to see people making new music of styles that people don’t really do because I want more of that style to exist. Like these producers Hydroz were taking southern rap and making miami bass edits, lil scrappy at 140bpm type shit, it was super sick but never went anywhere because everyone wanted bmore remixes.
I guess I wish rap would take more from what some of the metal kids have done and toured with the older bands, warbringer and exodus for example. Like I’d be juiced for a Purp and Tommy Wright tour. That’s also why I enjoyed the whole Exquire, el-p, Killer Mike tour. El and Mike were enough on their own but it was dope to see some of the shows get reinvigorated with a mix of new and more veteran acts. Might give these young kids some fucking pointers on how to actually execute a live show too.
YES!
