 Deciscions - Ka

 My latest TV obsession is First 48. It is hella depressing but I just cant stop watching it. It conjures up a bunch of stuff for me. One of the things l think about is decision making. So many of these kids just make the wrong decision and it ends up changing the lives of lots of people. Sometimes those decisions seem innocuous, routine, and in some cases, relatively innocent. When we were younger man Gil used to say "Life is all about decisions man" and those words are definitely applicable to what goes down for the suspects on that show.

Which brings me to Ka. I first heard this minimalist spitter on one of the Gza's albums. He was impressive, but did not stand out to me. His song, Decisions, from the dope Grief Pedigree album is a deeply simple rhyme that mainly consists of him juxtaposing different alternatives.  He even keeps it going through the chorus.
