Sam Walton would turn over in his grave

For real? Sam would be, hell is turning over in his grave.  I ain't NEVER been to no Wal Mart like this.  What in the hell is this guy rapping about? "She in da lingerie section. She in da lingerie section."  Just goes to show you can write a rap song about ANYTHING these days.  Hmmm that gets me to thinking.  Maybe I'll write a rap song about going to Subway and call it "$5 Footlong Hos"

Rap shows schwrap shows

A free concert?  Hell yeah I'll go even if it's a band that I marginally like.  Tonight Del the Funky Homosapien played at New Earth Music Hall and I love him. He has one of the most unique and twisted voices and minds in hip hop.  For those who can't place his voice he provides the rap on the Gorillaz's track "Clint Eastwood", arguably their most iconic song.  I remember Del from his first single, "Mistadoblina" that dropped in 1991 back when rap/hip hop music was still good.  I wanted to get some pics as well and see what his show was about.
As I was leaving, early BTW, I ran into my brother who asked why I was leaving. I told him, "Aren't all rap shows the same?" He answered, "No!"  In my opinion they are.  You seem to get the same spill = bass so loud you can't make out any music, the stage setup is the same with the front man, a hype man, and a DJ with his turntables set up on a fellowship hall table in the back, you can't understand any of the lyrics the rapper is spitting, and there are simply no highs and lows like you get in a rock concert.  When you go see a band you get emotion, slow songa fast songs, interaction with band mates, and technical flubs.  At a rap show the only technical flub you may get is that the Ipod or pre recorded track on the laptop might not que up in the same time.  I wish I had seen Jay-Z on his tour because I am sure that was a real concert as he had a real band backing him and actually put on a concert.  Anyways I was bored tonight.  I stayed to get a few pics but that was about it.  The draw of hip hop is the flow of the rhymes and the genius of word play. When you can't here those nuances that make this art form what it is what are you there for?

Token Whitey

In the 80's once whitey started accepting rap and by accepting I mean they realized, "H-O-L-Y S-H-I-T! There is an ass load of money to be made off these clowns and their fad music.", they started force feeding it everywhere. In this apparent after school special you see future stars such as the guy that played Malcom X, the sidekick from "The Last Dragon", Dwayne Wayne, and the black guy from Grey's Anatomy that got real pissed off, rapping to us about injustice and how "We can't stop, won't stop."

Goddammit. Ya'll done made me go and kick this muthafuckin' dorr.

Does this show you that he means business? No? Well maybe it means that I'm ready to kick the door back open on this muthafuckin' blog yo. I've been gone a while but I think it's time to make this buffet, robust again.
