Joell Ortiz – Call Me Ft. Novel…

March 10, 2010


Damn, this shit brings back memories…

Download: Joell Ortiz – Call Me ft. Novel

Is it still like this for kids today? Probably not…I’m so glad I didn’t grow up with MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and all this other bullshit. I mean really, nothing beats those “Do you like me?” notes from back in the day. I swear these kids are losing. I just don’t think that 10 or 20 years from now kids are look back on certain aspects of their childhood with the same sense of nostalgia that the generations before have. What are they gonna reminiscence about? “Man, I remember when Keisha accepted my friend request” <–See, that just sounds stupid…or I'm just old. Oh well, all we are is dust in the wind

“You’d just come to school on half days and all that,
just to see that little girl right there,
remember I just used to go home & think about her, youknowhatImean?
might hump the bed sometimes on her, youknowhatImean?
word, those days man, those were the good ol days right there G”

Rick Ross – Mafia Music II…

February 24, 2010

So yeah this video is pretty standard, it has that Rick Ross “please believe I’m drug kingpin” aura, rented cars, rented leading lady and a rented mansion along with a random Miami backdrop. With all of that said, I have to admit…this dude is winning. I really fux with everything he’s dropped lately…so much so that I’m actually looking forward to hearing Teflon Don. As much as I like this song I really don’t understand the intro when he says…

Larry Hoover dove off the mountain top and turned into a golden eagle…

*blank stare*

Is that like CO talk or fictional drug dealer talk for saying Larry Hoover got sentenced to over 100 years for murder back in the 70’s? If so, he could’ve just said that. If not, any former correctional officers turned rapper/fictional drug dealing kingpins reading my blog please translate that for me….I’m so confused.

Flavor Flav – I’ll Never Let You Go…

February 8, 2010

I’d like to dedicate this video to my love for blogging…

Yeah….that just happened. This video actually came out last year and somehow I managed to miss it.

I swear the first time I saw this I just sat there waiting…. waiting…. and waiting for some type of 1-800 number to scroll across the bottom of the screen. This shit is sad…at any moment I was expecting a fly to come and rest on his left eye. I just figured this had to be a cry for help, some type of infomercial asking for donations for Flavor Flav since Ray-J came and took his spot as VH1’s ace boon COON.

Anywho, I’ve been MIA (no “Paper Planes”) for damn near two weeks due to a lack of internet access…but I’m back. So run and tell your peoples they can start back to checking the site on the regular.

Is Jay-Z a Freemason, Sith Lord, Devil Worshiping, Lycan, Twilight Cast Member?…

January 7, 2010

*sigh* Okay, after watching Jay-Z’s video for “On To The Next One” I think it’s pretty obvious at this point that he’s either poking fun at all of these conspiracy theorist or subliminally tellin’ everyone that he is a devil worshiper and they can kiss his ass. If you have no clue what I’m talking about head over to www.vigilantecitizen.com to see what all the fuss is about. But since people continue to debate on what Jay-Z is, what he believes and who he worships I felt the need to make a few points…


I Got An “A+” In Internet Research…
The internet (via YouTube, Wikipedia and Google) has created a shitload of smart-dumb muhfuckas. I swear people go and do some “research”, graduate magna cum-laude from Wikipedia University and then they feel they’re in a position to “educate” any and everybody via Twitter, Facebook and any other site that they can post a comment on. Hey Einstein, guess what? That magical portal of information called the internet is accessible to other people besides you. You’re no more “enlightened” than anybody with access to a 56 kbit/s internet connection.

It’s A Secret Society, But Everybody Knows Everything About It…
Look, all of these psycho conspiracy theorist claim that the Freemasons are shrouded in secrecy, yet they can tell you everything there is to know about them. They’re experts on this “secret society”….that happens to have clearly labeled lodges/buildings and whose members wear rings with their emblem on it. You know what, this society is so secret you can even get a Masonic license plate. Nothing says “I don’t want you to know about us or our members” like personalized license plates with our emblem on it.

Freemasons don’t adhere to one religion. The general underlying principle is that they do believe in God, a Supreme Being, a Higher Power, etc. Freemasons are free to belong to any religion, including Christianity….I’ve known a few. Anyone who’s studied an ounce of religion and history knows where the stigma surrounding Freemasons and devil worship originated from. If people would actually read about religion and history and talk to people who are a part of the groups they claim to know so much about, there wouldn’t be so many misconceptions in the world today.

For instance, I remember somebody tried to vehemently tell me all about Jehovah’s Witnesses. They went on to tell me how they don’t believe in Jesus and that they believe that only 100,000 people will get into heaven and everyone else will go to hell. What they didn’t know is that my mother is a Jehovah’s Witness (I’m not) and that me and her talk about religion all the time. After I told this person that my mother was a JW their tone changed and they proceeded to say that everything they had just told me (in such a declarative tone and with such confidence) was only “what they had heard”. I then told them that everything they were saying was incorrect and told them what Witnesses actually believe. Point being, don’t try to educate other people with hearsay.

Btw if you live in the Hyde Park area, I apologize if my mom ever knocked on your door and woke you up early as hell on a Saturday morning to talk to you about Jehovah’s Kingdom.

Everybody’s In On It…Including Your Mama…
The Illuminati….yada, yada, yada. Yeah I know everybody from Barack Obama to Bert and Ernie to Oprah to Miley Cyrus are in on this plot to create a New World Order. This NWO theory has been around for about as long as conspiracy theories have. Yet in still, this grand takeover has yet to happen. If all of the most powerful people in the world want to take it over, why in the hell haven’t they just done it already? Can Somebody tell me what they’re waiting on? You might say “It’s happening right before your eyes, you just need to open them”. Look, I’m not saying it isn’t in the works or it isn’t true. But I will say that at the rate they’re going, chances are you, your children or your grandchildren won’t be alive to see the NWO come into fruition.

Some of you might be thinking, “Doza you’re just ignorant and you’ve been blinded by the media. This is exactly what they want you to think…I feel sorry for you”. Okay, suppose I have and all of this is true. I pose this question to all of the “enlightened” ones who know what’s going on: Now what? What are you doing in your day to day life that’s any different from the non-believers who are ‘still in the dark’? Are you stockpiling water and food? Building an underground bunker? Moving deep into the mountains? Saving up to buy an uncharted island? Organizing an army of believers to destroy the members of the Illuminati?……*crickets*…..it’s okay, I’ll wait.

Either Turn It Up or Turn It Off…
I’ve been listening to Jay-Z from day 1 and the last time I checked Satan is still on my shitlist and I still prefer an ice cold Blue Moon over a cup of virgin’s blood. What Jay believes in has no affect on me. The funny thing is half of the die-hard conspiracy theorist who truly believe all of this stuff are the main ones buying his CDs and going to his concerts. If you believe that Jay’s beliefs are in direct conflict with your own and he’s conveying those beliefs through his music and his videos, it’s pretty simple….STOP fuckin’ with him! STOP viewing his videos, STOP listening to his music, STOP going to his concerts and STOP commenting on him in general.

So do I believe that he worships the devil and he’s part of the Illuminati?

I don’t give a fuck….that’s what I believe. Hell, my mailman probably worships the devil. As long as he doesn’t start drawing satanic pentagrams on my ComEd bill I’m good. If Jay-Z is a devil worshiping member of the Illuminati, I could care less….that’s his life, his beliefs, his soul, not mine. To be honest, a video of Jay-Z wearing a Jason mask, gangbanging a bunch of farm animals, drinking a cup of blood, while watching Booty Talk 7,186 could be released tomorrow on YouTube and my life wouldn’t change one bit. Would I stop supporting Jay-Z? Yes, but in all honesty I don’t support him now. I’ll never buy another Jay-Z album (last one I purchased was The Black Album) or go to one of his concerts (btw I’ve never been to one). Why? It has nothing to do with all of this black magic devil talk either. He’s rich and he does a very good job of reminding me how he doesn’t need my hard earned money….so why in the hell would I give it to him?

Look, whether you believe he’s a devil worshiper, a Freemason or he’s just fuckin’ with everybody’s head to stir up controversy, one thing is certain…he’s just a man….one man, who bleeds blood and breathes air, so STOP investing so much time and thought into him. Focus on your faith….not Jay-Z’s.

KiD CuDi – Pursuit of Happiness…

December 8, 2009

“I’m on The Pursuit Of Happiness and I know, everything that shines ain’t always gonna be gold (Yeah) I’ll be fine once I get it…I’ll be good”

Lord knows I’ve done that bathroom stumble wayyy too many times to count, but I’ve never got drunk and passed out in the bathroom of a club (shout out to D. Green). In all fairness, that’s only due to the fact that I prefer the comfort of a car.

Note To My Readers:
If we ever go out to kick it (bars/clubs) and I’ve seemingly vanished into thin air, chances are I’m drunk and asleep in my car, or the car of whoever drove, or on some random couch in the club, or…you get the point. Basically, I’m drunk somewhere asleep and I hope you find me. Thanks. Okay, movin’ on…

This is one of my favorite songs of 2009. Believe it or not, I really fux with CuDi’s album…and no I’m not depressed or suicidal. I know a lot of people wrote his album off as being nothing more than a stoner’s musical suicide note. I did the same thing initially, but after giving it another chance and listening to his lyrics and the entire album (from beginning to end), I discovered it’s quite the opposite.

Man On The Moon, is more of a introduction to KiD CuDi the person and it chronicles his life prior to becoming a successful artist. Unlike a lot of rap/hip-hop music today, which is overtly materialistic and misogynistic, CuDi alienates that formula and chooses to cover a lot of personable topics. The death his father from cancer when he was a child, his experimentation with drugs, personal insecurities, having no sense of direction regarding life are just some of the subjects he touches on. In all honesty, one of the most “pop”ular songs on the album, “Make Her Say” throws an otherwise cohesive album completely off. In short, they should’ve made it a bonus track. While the album does have a somewhat melancholy feel at first listen, after thoroughly listening to it I realized it’s more inspirational than anything.

I’m not too sure if I’d call it a rap/hip-hop CD though, especially when you consider the fact he’s singing on about 50% of it…it’s more like a combination of rap/electronic/pop. I’m not saying it’s for everyone, but Man On The Moon was definitely one of the best albums to be released in 2009…looking forward to his sophomore album.

Novakane – How Real Is This (The Precursor)…

November 20, 2009
I said it before and I’ll say it again I promote local Chicago artists…if I like their music. So obviously I fux wit this.

Earlier this week Novakane aka The Nogorilla dropped the Mike Carson directed video for “How Real Is This (The Precursor)“. The track is off of his debut album Savoir Faire, which drops in March and is executive produced by Twilite Tone.

Btw, be on the look out for Kane’s upcoming mixtape, The People Have Spoke Vol. 1. Also for any and everything regarding hip-hop/rap music in Chicago, go to www.fakeshoredrive.com.

Fat Joe – Joey Don’t Do It…

October 17, 2009

This video was released a while back before J.O.S.E. 2 dropped, for some reason I never got around to posting it until now. Usually I would say fuck it…that ship has sailed, but this shit goes too hard and that sample is just too crazy for me not to post it.

“Got the super soaker for super jokers that’s super cho cha/
Stupid is what stupid does now move it coca/
I’m a prove it’s over, you ain’t got a chance/
and I don’t even need a gun I know how to dance”

Considering the fact you probably don’t have Joe’s album…

Foreign Exchange – I Wanna Know…

October 7, 2009

Here’s the 3rd video off of Phonte and Nicolay’s album, Leave It All Behind. Their videos are always pretty simple and straight to the point…that’s probably why I like them so much.

Just in case you missed their previous videos:
The Foreign Exchange – House of Cards Ft. Musinah
The Foreign Exchange – Take Off The Blues/Valediction

Bonus:
Apathy – True Love Ft. Phonte
I posted this song a while back but I don’t think people actually took the time out to really listen to it. Do yourself a favor and check it out, both Phonte and Apathy go in on this track.

Drake – Forever…

September 22, 2009

feat. Kanye West, Lil Wayne & Eminem.

I said it before and I’ll say it again…Em bodied this damn song. I swear this is the Eminem that should’ve been rapping on Relapse. Anywho, people can talk about Jay all they want, but I don’t think there’s a rapper out there that wants it with Em.

Hype Williams directed the video. Ummm I hope Hype isn’t still charging a $1,000,000+ for his videos because they damn sure don’t seem worth it anymore. But then again were they ever really? Not knocking him artistically…that’s just a lot of damn money.

Btw you really should have this already…

How To Keep Your Woman Happy by Ghostface…

September 14, 2009

Warning: NSFW Language

This guy if fawkin’ hilarious. One of the reasons that I’m such a big fan of Ghost is because he says whatever the hell is on his mind, whether it’s in an interview or in the booth. With such vital words of wisdom like…

“She like to hear that ‘I love you’ shit a thousand times a day”

&

“You gotta put that slow shit on…and you f@#k her real slow…and for those of yall who don’t eat no p*$$y, you might have to eat her p*$$y”

…how could you not wanna hear what he has to say in a verse?

Well anyway, there you have it. You heard him fellas…..say you love her a 1,000 times a day, take her on a trip, put on some “slow shit” (like Terence Trent D’Arby’s “Wishing Well”…damn that intro was long hell) and perform cunnilingus. That’s all you need to do keep her happy….according to Ghostface. Oh and if you’re one of those lames guys who don’t go down, but you’re thinkin’ about taking the plunge, here’s 50 very random ass “tips” from women on what to do and what not to do once you’re down under. You’re probably wondering how did I come across this shit? Well I wanted to make sure I was spelling cunnilingus correct and decided to Google it….don’t judge me. When you spend as much time on the internet as I do you just do shit like that. Movin’ on…

It’s funny because as we (men) get older the challenges we face with women become completely inverted. As a boy finding a girl that you “liked” was the easy part…finding a girl that was “easy” was just a bit harder for most. Now as a man, finding a woman that’s “easy” is ummm….easy. But finding a woman that holds your interest, doesn’t blow you (no pun intended) within the first few minutes of conversation and puts you in the state of mind where you can actually picture spending the rest of your life with her is about as easy as solving one of these.

Just in case you missed it, here’s the video for Baby Ft. Raheem Devaughn”, the lead single off of The Wizard of Poetry, which drops 9/29…
