Jay-Z's Hegemony in the Age of Kanye
Very noteworthy article…interesting take on Jay-Z, his legacy, and his alliances through a political lens.
Peep this excerpt:
“Watch the Throne by Jay-Z and Kanye West may not prove to be the enduring hip hop classic that many people expected when news of the project leaked. But the album itself is hardly the point. Watch the Throne represents a fascinating gambit in the...

LESSON OF THE DAY: Never apologize for being you
I know that I can be loud, obnoxious, too strong personality wise for some folks, use words that come off too strong, come off arrogantly, etc. I started noticing I was bothering & causing discomfort to some. So, here’s a little story. I decided to be more quiet, nice, carefully choose my words so folks wouldn’t feel offended or misconstrue what I was saying. I...

LMAOOOOO this is just so absurd…peep the quote:
Just weeks before the release of his sophomore effort Take Care, Drizzy further acknowledges that the throne is for the taking.
“When I was a kid trying to figure out what I liked, it was [Kanye] who I related to the most. He was an artist, in every sense, from his cover art to his music. Now, I would say he was a really great ...

Broken Smile
I sit here in this dark abyss I call my mind drowning in my black thoughts on my last breaths; my body not wanting to quit but keep living. But, an early death sounds ever so appealing cuz the burden of living weighs ever so heavily on my shoulders.
The whispers from death used to flow from one ear out the other but lately this flow has become more like a traffic jam where one now pays...

Judging Others; Excuses
So thru my years, I’ve learned to judge folks a lot less. But, let me just say that after a certain point, fuck the BS. I am going to judge. Some folks are just too damn sensitive & want to feel bad themselves. Here’s a reality check: the world really doesn’t care & will keep going on. Go see a therapist & seek help. Ain’t no one gon feel sympathy for...

Stupid and Lazy
(Is it that you can’t do it or perhaps you don’t want to do the work?)
When I was in college, I took a ton of advanced math courses, three or four of them, until one day I hit the wall. Too many dimensions, transformations and toroids for me to keep in my head. I was too stupid to do really hard math so I stopped.
Was it that I was too stupid, or did I merely decide that with my...

Link to full story via Billboard
Artists, you have to treat your mixtapes like albums. I highly recommend reading this article whose link I posted above ^.
