Well heres some snippets of a joint with Mos Def x Jay Electronica

No diss but I am glad he has moved his eggs out of just 2 main baskets Jay and Saigon.
Funny thing people seem 2 forget that Just had a blog running before they were even popular I wonder who still reads it?
And honestly RC, Belvi, Mike Nova can all testify if I would have 2 compare

I watched this vid this morning with Brandon like wow this is why she needs Kanye in the vid, Timbaland, Polow the Don, Lil Wayne and all this push and still cant drop an album.
She's Swagless.
This is proof.
She's like that cute girl you used 2 meet in the mall and you talked 2 her like damn I got her number DOPE! Without really talking to her that long and when you called her on the phone she was VERY blah. But you kept calling back cuz she was cute.
That can only get you so far.

"On" Radio: Bjork - Where is The Line?

Bjork has 2 be the weirdest pop artist of all time.
I have been studying her genius for this entire first semester in school
and this by far is my favorite song from her.
"Where is The Line?" is from Bjorks 2004 release Medúlla. During production, Björk decided the album would work best as an entirely vocal-based album. However, this initial plan didn't materialize exactly that way, as the majority of the sounds on the album are indeed created by vocalists (although these sounds are often electronically distorted) but several feature prominent basic electronic programming. Björk used the vocal skills of throat singer Tagaq, hip hop beatboxer Rahzel.
Enjoy!!

Why Do Parking Enforcement have Sirens?

Have you ever wondered this? I have EVERY DAY.
One day in particular i was parked on the wrong side on street cleaning day reading an art magazine, (no matter why i was in such an odd reading area), when parking enforcement pulled up. This old blackberry (with sweet juice) walked over to my car and with a rather crude manner said "You caint park here! why would you be he anyway iss twelve o' clock," the point of this is that there was no siren. She cant chase me, because i wasn't moving. As soon as she stopped blowing steam into my car i pulled off. So whats the need? do they get in to high speed parked car chases often? What does a parking enforcement siren sound like? maybe a its sounds like a fruit truck..
Or maybe its just there to make them seem to reek with authoritah? I'm just not sure....

The New York Post recently published the political cartoon shown here, depicting two white police officers standing over the carcass of a bullet-riddled chimpanzee, with the animal representing the author of the stimulus package. Obama.

The decision to run this cartoon is unthinkably irresponsible
the an editor of a newspaper of this caliber would not understand the history of Black folks being depicted as monkeys and apes or the recent spate of death threats against President Obama. Worse, when confronted, Post editor Col Allan dismissed people's concerns as baseless.
There would be no need for a stimulus spackage if it werent for two terms of a white greedy president named Bush but there are no cartoons depicting him killed
or any assassination attempts on his life
the worse danger he's ever been in is a pair of loafers being thrown @ him.
The racism MUST stop we cant ignore it anymore.
