Spreadin the real: Q-Tip unreleased album

Q-Tip was supposed to drop this album after his first solo joint in 2002 but the label thought it was too eclectic for the market so they shelved it...I read an article where Q-Tip was upset bout it not being released especially since Andre 3000 dropped an ecletic album that was widely accepted...i also read that this was going to be released in Sept of this year but i'm not sure...anyway peep it cuz its nice and different from 1/3rd of the former A Tribe called Quest...i present "Kamaal/the abstract"...peep it...

Random Rant vol. 20: The Vick Experience

As the day draws near to seeing vick in a eagles jersey in a game, the animal rights nuts are coming full force. Personally, I'm glad to see Vick back on the field simply because of his wow factor. 

Now let's get into the meat of the subject at hand. Should Vick be able to play in the nfl? He should because he paid his debt to the govt by serving damn near 2 yrs in the 'clink'. Now don't get me wrong, what he did was completely heinous and quite inhumane. I kno he funded the operation but i don't kno if he killed or maimed or administered the terrible actions against the dogs. But if he did do that then its f'd up. People say that NFL is insensitive to animals and just cares bout money, well shit that's true. The NFL has already punished him for a season and possibly half of another one. They are doing the same as the govt, giving him another chance.

By the way, the govt really didn't care all that much about the dog fighting but rather the gambling and illegal activity over state lines. That's what he served his time for, illegal gambling and funding of an illegal activity over state lines, not the dog fighting. So I guess the federal gov't is insensitive to animals too. (Federal gov't only cares bout money too, point blank period. If you get money the wrong way they'll get from you from fines or jail time).

What do these protestors want Vick to do with the rest of his life? He already served the time, is he just supposed to live in obscurity forever. There's damn near been more of an uproar over Vick than 0J and the murders (and he supposedly killed 2 PEOPLE. I know I know, he did that shit). I thought this is ideal objective of prison, to have the prison rehabilate a guy so when he gets out he could live a prosperous legal life. Seems that's what Vick is doing.

Another thing I noticed was the racial divide on the issue. Most white people think he shouldn't be allowed to make millions of dollars while most ethnic people say he should. I don't have a clear cut answer why this is but I think its because ethnic people don't value a animal's life like a human's life. Since some ethnic people think they are being mistreated from other people (most likely white people. Don't misinterpret me, I'm not racist..i was in a relationship with a white female for many years [Damn that's some cliche ish to say]), they don't have the mentality that animal's life is a valued as equal to theirs.

All I kno is people that watch football and some Eagles fans are saying they won't watch an Eagles game. That is complete bull, cuz as soon as kickoff week begins they'll be sitting right there in front of the flat screen with a beer and chips watchin the action. Just wait til u see a break out play from Vick and watch the resentment die down dramatically. Besides there's more important issues in the U.S..

Oh yeah check Phonte from Little Brother and The Foreign Exchange (one of my fav groups) take on the issue from his podcast titled Gordon Gartrell Radio....

Spreadin the REAL real: Meth & Red on $55,000

I totally 1000% agree with these cats about Nas having to pay $55,000 to Kelis for child support...the system is fucked up when fathers must pay this type of money...i got mad just like Mef when I heard the news just like when my best friend got hit up for child support 3 years ago and he was taking care of his...Nas doesn't even make this type of cheese to fork out $55,00o a month...who did the judge think Nas was, Diddy or somethin?... damn Nas hold your head and yall peep the vid (i was bout to start Random Rant vol. 20 talking bout this child support shit)...

Random Rant vol. 19: F*&K Ups!

Its been a while since I ranted about some random stuff...I gotta a lot to spew out but this one topic I've gotta speak about...I'm still fairly young (27 for those not in the know) but i think I've gathered enough knowledge to know a lil' about what life is about and what ills it will throw at you...One thing I figured out is that some people are destined for some things and are born with natural gifts...For example, I think when LeBron James was born he was already shooting 7 ft jumpers with a 7 inch vertical...I mean straight out the womb is hoop game was stellar and better than a 6 year olds game...I also figured out that some people are naturally born, absolute, god blessed (or devil blessed how ever you want to classify the orgin of a fuck ups life) Fuck Ups!...

The definition of a Fuck Up is a person that will completely mess up any good thing or fuck up something that is 'unfuckupable' (something that can't be messed up)...you see this all the time in sports...there will be an athlete with the world in his hands and always ends up in jail, getting arrested, getting fined or finding himself in situations that puzzle the mind (like how long did he think he was gonna last hidin' in a trunk to evade the cops. Does Rae Carruth jog your memory?) ...

Lawrence Phillips is a classic fuck up... Phillips was a star running back for Nebraska in the Cornhuskers 90's dominance...He was a slight fuck up in college but when he got drafted by the Rams he let his 'fuckupedness' all out...He got arrested over and over & was givin chances over and over...when nobody from the NFL would pick him up again after his illustrious fuck ups, he went to another league and still was messing up....

I've come across plenty of people that have a little opportunity to do something meaningful with their time and manage to fuck it up...I knew people that received a new car and within 4 months, they wrecked in once, rebuilt the transmission and had work done on the engine...I mean how is that possible...or I knew someone who had a job at a restaurant and after a couple of months got fired...i really believe that no matter what opportunities a person is presented with, the talent they possess or how easy the task is, some people will royally fuck it up without question...

here are my list of all time fuck ups:

Lawrence Phillips - countless arrests

Ryan Leaf - just got arrested again this year of '09

Pacman Jones (or Adam Jones as he wants to be called now)

Plaxico Burress (tho he had no other mishaps, shooting urself in a club in NY is a Fuck Ups trait)

People who drop out of high school to do absolutely nothing, i mean nothing

(they don't even commit crimes to pass the time and get money, damn!)

People of the show "COPS"

George W. Bush (damn that's a cheap shot)

Jeff Conaway (was on 2 seasons of Celebrity Rehab, former Grease star)

...and countless others i'll name later
