It's A Celebration!

8 Diagrams

Finally! I just copped my official copy of the new wu album. I've been waiting 6 years for this joint. Still, I can't believe they dropped this album with zero promotion except for interviews. I know people in the states aren't gonna really support this album as they should but overseas they are prolly going bananas right now. Its a shame real hip-hop only gets appreciated in Europe, Japan, etc. America is really doing bad right now and gettin caught up in all the commercial hype. I feel once you're stuck in that commercial world its hard to get out because you're mind is made to believe the stuff you're listening to.

You know what? i am not gonna rant about how commercial music has completely f*%ked up the music industry because some of it I do appreciate. Its a real slim percentage of commercial acts such as Jay-Z, Kanye or Pharrell that don't forget that its not about the money its about doing what you love which translates into great music.

Anyway if you have $10 to spare go pick up that Wu-Tang 8 Diagrams and expand your visions.

Crunch Time

That's pretty much what i've been doing since the last time I blogged.

Shit is gettin hectic man. Projects here, a paper there...a exam at the end of the week

teachers need to chill out with all the extra shit when it comes down to the end of the semester. I know we gotta work to get a job but got damn give a brother a break !

i can't wait til the week is over so i can get back to the regular scheduled program with the music. The treats are coming !

RZA Addresses Rumours/Reviews

...Still You Be the Judge...

How is Hip Hop Dead if Wu-Tang is Forever? (c) RZA

I know its early but ive been listening to nothing but 8 Diagrams for couple of days now, and I gotta admit its a solid release.

After my first listen, I thought to myself

"what the hell is this?"

I found myself agreeing with Raekwon's Youtube Interview and thinking why RZA took this crazy direction with the music.

It's BEAUTIFUL

After about my 3rd listen I began to realize that I am listening to a Wu-Tang album. They are one of the most innovative groups in Hip-Hop history. So why am i treating this like all the other disposable music we are exposed to?

I sat back and studied the album like a physics book and came to a solid conclusion that the album is fierce.

It's filled with great music, great lyrics, and a lot of jewels. I would do a track by track analysis but its too early for all that...Plus i have more studying to do...

yessir!

Fog Blog

today is mad chill.

but i hate it bc i haven't seen any sunlight all day.

lab drunk

ive been unproductive in the lab for about 2 days straight.

i need to work on some shit but im always on okayplayer. i have to admit that site is very addictive. i think i am going take a 2 week hiatus from okayplayer so that i can finish working on some projects before the end of the year.

right now i am sitting here watching No Country For Old Men on bootleg. if i recall, the previews named it the #1 Action Movie of the year. mannnnnn, im gettin tired of this false advertisement. im about 40 mins in the movie and ive seen like 20% action ... i mean the action ive seen has been great but just not enough. the best action ive seen all year is Live Free Or Die Hard.....smmmmmokin.

im done bloggin for the day though. im gonna try to make this a regular thing tho..along with music and possible video. stay tuned!

i need food!

Genesis

What up world. as of right now, I know a lot of ppl are not even reading this blog because nobody knows about this blog...hahaha. I am going to write anyway. Right now, I am feeling real great even though lost my grandfather who was the most respected man I ever knew in my life. I felt bad at first when i learn that he had passed but then i began to think. My grandfather was clearly a man of God all of his life and I clearly saw that everytime I saw him. So I am happy that he graduated into the heavens and is watching over me and my family. I am going to miss you Pa-Pa!
