‘Yo, why they say ‘Never say never’ when they know that ain’t right?, ‘Cause to ‘Never say never’ you done said ‘Never’ twice’. -Mos Def
>>Go here< < I think this picture says it all. This site is the best site around y’all.

So, this is what I read today.

“LOS ANGELES (AP) — Funk singer Rick James, best known for the 1981 hit “Super Freak,” died Friday, apparently of natural causes, police said.”

My favorite part is the “apparantly”. Seems like people are a little skeptical. Read whole aritcle here.

What is Dave Chappele going to do? “I’m dead Beaotch”?!

OK, so the good music keeps on coming. I got me the new Roots CD yesterday for my birthday! The Tipping Point is amazing. Does anyone know what Black Thought is saying in “Don’t Say Nuthin'”? They are giving away $4000, so check out thier website @ the roots @.

And check this out. ?uestlove’s (no that’s not a type-o) record library! I’ve seen the roots more than once in concert and they give the BEST live show I’ve ever been to. I was completely blown away. I was disappointed with the Gang Starr, Mos Def, etc… concert I went to at BBKings. It was worth it for sure, especially to hear Mos Def. I really need to see more of him before long. The Roots entire concert was great! The sound was great, the vibe was great, the croud was awesome. I saw them once at the knitting Factory. I was right in the front row (which you know if you read my website archives).

Anyone out there sick of wack rap? Can I get a witness?

I think I need to dedicate a whole new section of my website to Anthony Hamilton. And thank god for Dave Chappelle! Ok let me start at the beginning. I have to thank Jesse for getting me hooked on Chappelle’s Show. I now own the whole first season on DVD. I watch whenever I get a chance and have laughed so hard I get nauseous.

SO I taped a few shows the other night and just happened to be watching them last night when this guy Anthony Hamilton comes on as the musical guest. From the FIRST sound that comes out of his mouth, I had goosebumps. Jeff said it “he’s like Marvin”. Whenever people invoke His name 🙂 in comparison to new singers I get a little annoyed, but this time it was right on. The most amazing similarity is that they both open their mouths and this amazingly powerful sound comes out without any visible effort. As soon as I got to work I bought the album off i-tunes.

I can’t say enough about this guy, and I’m so glad I got to hear that live version first before I bought the album. PLEASE do yourself a favor and listen to him.
