Seven Years Ago We Lost A Rap King In The Making


Lyrically no one can touch this man. Still to this day no one can rhyme like him and couldn't hold a candle to his lyrically precise catalog. He made an impression on me not because he was a fellow South Bronx Puerto Rican, but his ability to surpass the mundane format of rap/hip-hop was at the time (even today).

Of course he would rap about Money, Women, Sex, Flossin' and that thug shit, but just like 2Pac his rhymes were laced to address real world issues; taking jabs at political, racial and the class system that we still seem to be stuck in today. What was the best that he was able to put through his songs is to not get stuck with same same lingo that is regurgitated in the streets then on songs or vice versa; I believe he made it acceptable to talk normally and expand your vocabulary while not always resorting to "street slang" even when you're just chillin on the block.

In an interview with a few people in his crew they were surprised to always catch him reading the dictionary then they hear his rhymes and just stand amazed and have to run and look up what the hell he said and what it means.

Its just a sad fact that when some of the past heavyweights in the rap game are mentioned that he's left out 90% of the time.

As for my favorite songs right now (among many): Capital Punishment Ft. Prospect; Western Ways Ft. JuJu from the Beatnuts; Whatcha Gon Do?; Brave In The Heart & Where You At?.

Damn I Have To Wait Damn Near A Month....

Last week i watched episodes 5, 6 and 7 of the most amazing show airing now. The Wire. This means the next new episode for me is the last week of February which kinda sucks.

How the fuck was i able to see the advanced episodes you ask? Well the show wrapped up a while ago and they finished prepping them for airing on HBO and they also hand out DVD Screeners and in turn people either get this taken from them or someone borrows them and puts them online and if by the last two posts you didn't know i'm a downloader. Apparently more are on the way but i haven't gotten my hands on them just yet.

If you thirsty to know what happens for the next two shows; let me know i'll tell you.

No Need To Be Ashamed If You Do...

Do you still read comics? I damn well do. Most find it immature or juvenile, but it's a part of our culture since the early 1930's and has help to shape the imaginations of so many that love this genre of story telling. Not every story is about someone in a cape or outfit fighting crime.

About two years ago i looked at my collections and really didn't feel like thumbing through them which kinda wears down the paper its printed on and was curious enough to see of copies can be found online. Low and behold i found some through a website which uses eMule to help share with people who want to transfer their collection to a digital format and have them stored them on a hard drive on their computer. It has since then expanded to me using eMule, uTorrent and now StrongDC++. Now i have a computer backup collection far beyond 280GB's while my paper collection grows also.

For backup purposes I get most of my comics in .CBR/.CBZ format from the StrongDC++ P2P Client. If you're just getting into this type of thing and you are use to the DCP/Minutemen torrents from the torrent trackers; this is where they get the comics to create the torrents for 0-day releases (same day scans, torrents usually turn up from Wednesday through Saturday).

The Z-Cult website was the perfect place for torrent trackers, 0-day and direct link downloads for all scanned comics. The only thing is the big two (Marvel & DC Comics) help put a stop to that which cuts out a lot of main stream comic scans available to people who join their site looking for comics to download. But they do release a lot of independent comics not owned by the big two.

Something like this is for the computer/home networking literate people. You will need to configure your router or firewall to be able to connect to the below services through certain ports or you will not be able to download with the proper speeds or not at all.

Below are links to resources that helped me compile my collection and show me the over all growth that comicbook industry has made over the decades.

This show airs on Cartoon Network on their ADULTSWIM evening programming for adults who like cartoons, but still dont crap in a diaper and still learning their ABC's. Definitely not for kids unless you're a really bad/cool parent. They are already on season 2. If any of you are downloaders like i am and any of you use eMule or any client that connects to the eDonkey networks (P2P) here are the links to the shows both seasons (so far): http://sharethefiles.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=56859&highlight=dingo
