Spreadin the real: Doug Williams 1st and still only (BHM)

January 31, 1988 was the date that is etched in black history sports...I can still remember vividly my parents and lil bro (who is actually larger in stature now) watched Super Bowl XXII where my parents were clearly rooting for the Washington Redskins to win against the heavily favored Denver Broncos with HOF QB John Elway...now my parents didn't and still don't have a NFL team (maybe my dad likes the Panthers because we live in the Carolinas [parents in SC, me and my bro in NC]) but that night they were all out Redskins fans...the reason for the loyalty was because Doug Williams, the 1st black starting quarterback in the Super Bowl was playing...

So for black history month I want to recognize Doug Williams, the 1st black starting quarterback to play in the Super Bowl (only 2 have played since, Donovan McNabb and Steve McNair) and the only black quarterback to win a Super Bowl...Doug Williams went to Grambling State University and played for the Tampa Bay Bucs & Washington Redskins in the NFL...during Super Bowl XXII he was the first QB to pass for 4 TDs in one quarter and a half...salute to Doug Williams #17 one the 70 greatest Redskins of all time (kinda gnashing my teeth to say that because I'm a Cowboys fan)

Random Rant vol. 42: My hip hop maturation

Its 2012 and hip hop has been around for a solid 30+ years...we've seen the upstart of the genre with Marley Marl, Sugarhill Gang, Grandmaster Flash & the Furious 5 and Kurtis Blow to the golden era of the 80's...the 90's ushered in the 'gangsta rap' era along with the conscience rap emergence...the 90's also had the emergence of the flash, braggadocio rap of Bad Boy and also had the birth of hip hop legends Nas, Jay-Z, 2Pac and Notorious B.I.G...the late 90's and 2000's showed the world that hip hop was incredibly marketable and young black entrepreneurs could become millionaires (shout out to Roc-A-Fella Records, Bad Boy Records, No Limit and Cash Money records)...

Now that I've given you a brief history on hip hop let me get into my maturation of hip hop focusing on Jay-Z...before Jay-Z showed the world that hip hop is not only a young man's game, it was thought that once you hit the age of about 35 that rappers should not create anymore new music...that thought almost seemed to make sense because some of your favorite rappers of yesteryear just didn't produce quality music when they hit their mid 30's...that way of thinking about hip hop is dead!

Eminem was 37 and released a very solid album in 2010 "Recovery" , Jay-Z, 40+ yrs old released a banger album "Watch the Throne" with KanYe in 2011 that had 2 smash hits (Niggas in Paris and Otis) and Nas is still producing great music whether is solo or collab projects...When you see Jay-Z performing at venues like the President's inauguraral ball, Carnegie Hall and becoming the first hip hop act at the Glasonbury Festival, you recognize that hip hop is a well respected genre that will have our favorite artists touring and selling out large venues like The Rolling Stones and Aerosmith til they are in their 60s (damn that's a helleva run-on sentence)...

I'm just glad to see real hip hop and talent will live forever with respect like the other genres...thanx Hov for showing the world that 'you will respect me simple as that' (line from 'The Ruler's Back' from Blueprint album. I probably shouldn't have said that because I just ruined the aura of my creative writing.). Hip Hop forever!

Spreadin the real: Gov't goin hard after d'load sites

If you haven't heard the founder of Megaupload.com (Kim Dotcom) a popular file storing site where you can download all types of files was shutdown by the government...it looks like other sites like filesonic are getting scared because they have disabled public access to downloading files...it looks like we are on the brink of the end of an era on the internet with the shutdown of Megaupload and other file storing sites disabling their services...just like Napster in the early '00s this illustrious era seems to be closing...damn SOPA and the gov't digging in to the internet...damnit

Spreadin the Real: Common confirms 'Sweet' directed to Drake

Common has been one of the most consistent solid hip hop artists for 10+ years (even during the Electric Circus era he was dope, i personally liked the Electric Circus album) ...his latest album The Dreamer/The Believer is dope and the track "Sweet" is getting much attention...this is due to the fact the Common's lyrics are directed to the OVOXO's Drake...I like Drake also but have to admit he is a little emo but his music and talent is undeniable (Take Care is also a great album though its more RnB than Hip Hop but its still ill) ...

check the video of Common on Sway's morning show talking about the track 'Sweet'...

p.s. - you can listen to the track on my latest mixtape (shameless plug) digital skill sector 1.5...here's the link
