random thoughts pt. 2

1. dumi's fears ended up being unwarranted... the new nas album was not a letdown after the nigger mixtape. nas's political commentary was intelligent, artistic and raw... of course it helped that three out of the 15 tracks were from the mixtape... but the new stuff is still worth the purchase. while its not the type of album you would cruise to down lakeshore... nas contradicts himself by proving that hip hop is not dead.

2. studying for qualifying exams is no fun what so ever...

3. the good thing about my mother never allowing me to listen to hip hop before 1999 is i am constantly hearing really fly stuff for the first time...

4. why won't bret favre just retire?

5. the dark knight is the greatest batman movie ever.... it is also very creepy and scary and made me flinch more than a couple of times... heath ledger was amazing...

6. can someone please spare me from the constant panic about unmarried black women?

random thoughts

copying uptown notes style :-)

1. why is micheal vick filing for bankruptcy but r. kelly is still roaming free making more money than ever?
2. why has doc rivers' 15yr old (bka freshman in high school) son already committed to university of florida?
3. when will common drop another album as tight as resurrection?
4. speaking of hip hop... why do hip hop elitists act like ignorant/cornball hip hop is something new?
5. speaking of ignorant... why don't we all just acknowledge that ice tea's "soulja boy diss" was nothing more than a sad attempt at resurrecting his music career?
6. why don't discussions of black sex tourism ever include black women as participants rather than victims?

peace.
