Throwback Spreadin the real: Soul Train Line

I swear the 70's was probably the most creative decade in past 125 years of the United States...the music was ill (still gets sampled by new artists to this day) , the clothes were funky (though most of that stuff i wouldn't rock now), the hairstyles were classic (afro-blowout style) and the dancing was insane...here's a clip of some Soul Train dancers dancin' to a classic Gladys Knight and the Pips cut...

peep it....

Spreadin the real: racism and economics

This is some of the realest (i know its not a word) and truthful piece of video on 'net in my opinion...I found this video about a year ago but then forgot the speaker's name...but while i was listening to macklessonsradio.com (shout out to Tariq 'King Flex' Nasheed) he spoke about him and then i youtube'd him (funny how new verbs are created from new technology. exs. IM'd, tweeted, facebook'd, i'll myspace you)

The speaker is Tim Wise and he talks about white privilege and how backwards it is...it makes so much sense because I've always wondered why the oppressed white man is trying to oppress the black man when they both are in the same economic and social situation (under the thumb and tyranny of the RICH man)...peep it and get educated...

Spreadin the real: 3 go get albums of 09

The fall of '09 has come and the three albums that are in heavy rotation on my iPod are Raekwon - Only built 4 cuban linx, Kid Cudi - Man on the moon and Jay-Z - Blueprint 3...these are albums that are actually albums where you can start from the beginning of the album and let it ride all the way through...i recommend you support the artists but i understand if you download the albums...

The Raekwon album is a throwback to that classic Wu, the Jay-Z album is solid from start to finish and KiD Cudi's album is ecletic and to me very addictive to listen too...its a different album with original beats, concepts and lyrics...i recommend you pick em up quickly...

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....
