"As he gets older he gets colder than a witch tit."

Daniel Dumile on aging.

"My nikkas take no like Kobe" - M.E.D

Now, I don't take rape references lightly however during the the aftermath of the Kobe Bryant rape case, you could see how that line really stood out from the this West Coast spitter.

Since his darts on the Madvillainy album, and other random tracks here and there, I have been impressed with the dude. His voice and delivery are two things that standout to me.


That being said I went to the record store and bought, yes, bought at the record store, his most recent album.

I have heard a one or two songs that I liked, but this purchase was not really about that. Just kind of felt like I owed him (as well as Madlib) a few dollars. He puts in an honest effort, and I have enjoyed some of his work over the years so I figured I'd throw him a couple of dollars. Even if it is just symbolic. Been trying to make more of an effort to do that kind of stuff ever since Ghost guilted the hell out of me a few years ago with his diatribe against downloading.

"Because once upon a time there was a yesterday" - Quasimoto

"Today is the shadow of tomorrow
Today is the present future of yesterday
Yesterday is the shadow of today
The darkness of the past is yesterday" - Quasimoto

Not much to post lyric-wise in regards to the new year. Instead of posting Skills' annual New Year "Rap-up" I figured I'd try to freak it a little differently.

I am not big on resolutions in terms of specific goals, but I do have a few guiding principles I would like to live under.  In general I want to be more nimble, in thought and in physical frame.

"Its not a trick, nigga, it's a trap

Survival of the fit, is what they aiming at

And niggas aint fit, fat as hell!

Fat in mind, body fat as well" - Lupe Fiasco

Life has been seeming to go by so fast lately and I want to be swifter to get with it, in all ways. This made me think of three hip-hop related things.

I thought of somehting Big Pun said as an ad-lib during the chorus on "It's So Hard" from Yeeeeah Baby. 

"I just lost 100 pounds. I'm tryin to live, I ain't going nowhere."

Granted I am not dealing with morbid obesity as did Pun however, it does not take long, and life moves fast.

While I don't believe in hard and fast goals, I am however at the point where I am sick of having this conversation with myself and am in a no excuses mode. The alternative is not an option.

Which made me think of "Plan B" by Tanya Morgan.

Later, my mind went on to the reality of the Universe. Eb and flow, negative and positive balance. But mostly living for the now, in this moment. Which then brought me to two songs, "Shadows of Tomorrow" by Madvillain featuring Quasimoto and Madlib and Regrets by Jay-Z.

Music has always guided the way for me. This year will be no different

"Well writ, as well as well spit..." - Madvillain

This is supposed to be from an upcoming Madvillain album (one could only hope!). Madlib is does his thing...dare I say, holds the torch for Jay Dee?

DOOM is an animal. He calculatedly mangles and abuses the English language in ways we haven't seen since the days of the great Willie D of the Geto Boys. ...well at least the "mangles" part haha.

Read AND listen....

All day

Be celibate.

Out of his element

Madvillain never forget, like a elephant

Any bet 'cept idle threats all irrelevant

Get your man wallet tell 'em found it, sell'em it

Well writ, as well as well spit for the hell of it

...Before the shell hit

...Etiquette, spell it

Pumpin dumplin's a hundred and sumpin' sumpin'

Forest Gump chumps get clumps of nuttin' for nuttin'

Tourist, show 'em where the shore is where the shark's at

Hold up, spark that, park rat

...Stirred not shaken

Absurd verbs since "word to hot bacon"

Wrote this rhyme on standard sand paper

Worked out the plan and plot for grand caper

...Vil on the cover of Playbill

Grillin' make ya mother say "Ill, hey will ya!?"

Ten feet at least, the beast may still ya"

Yeah I feel ya,

Hey, hey what's better than the healer yet?" Worser than tequila

A money gettin' nigga that's thirster than a squealer

...I guess you had to be there

It was free beer

...Last of the Ansars

On the microphone, cyclone, like Myanmar

Hand in the jar, got stuck, took it

Use the glasses, juxed a pot luck, crooked

Flashed and not lookin'

Four words: Cash on the spot... bookin'

Howdy

Never too loud for me, too rowdy and too black and too proud to be

And he's audi

Last seen with a Queen

Lakum Dinukum Waliyadin

Yah'mean?
