Better heard than seen.

That’s right I like Smooth Jazz. What with all the other crap on the radio is this really so bad when trying to calm the nerves? For all my rush-hour folks who drive; doesn’t the sound of a saxophone just rub the temples of your head just right? That’s their whole shtick…to put you at ease while going through your work day. It’s the new elevator music for the past 5 or 6 yrs now. The problem though as of late, these guys want to be seen as well as heard. While enjoying my Heinekens and channel surfing (Stargate-SG1 had just finished). I came across this guy, some wanna-be swanky looking guy. I thought it was an SNL skit but it was a program showcasing “Smooth Jazz” artists. These guys look funny, in that Don Johnson trying to sing kind of way.
After 10 minutes I started to hate Smooth Jazz; Jazz isn’t supposed to come across like an 80’s R&B group. Once I turned the channel my hatred started to subside. Traditional Jazz is more well-rounded, could be enjoyed at home, while on the road listening to the radio and on TV. Smooth Jazz musicians are really studio musicians who…

Steve Jobs is your father...

You like your Ipod don't you? It's sleek design beckoned you away from the PC's Creative Zen,huh. Apple which is owned by this guy is now using Intel Pentium processors (the heart of america's PCs)...
Now Steve has pull over at Disney...

I came up during the whole Mac vs PC days (which is still in existance). Me...I cross-plat but I prefer a Mac. He took Macs out of the stigma of only being a niche-market (graphic / multimedia designers) and made scaled down-affordable models to attract the Windows PC crowd. Dude is doing what all the great meglamaniacs have done before him. He just fills a void with a vengance till all competition ceases to exist. In this case, this guy co-opted the competition a'la The Borg...

*warm feeling in chest insues*

Too Literal...

Come on, Ghost...you're better than this.




Okay...like alot of yall i'm pysched for a new Ghostface release. One of the true grimiest yet colorful cats spittin'today (bet Outkast's soon to be released Idlewood soundtrack will warrant the same reaction). Though i'll admit the excitement is a bit slower this time around for me. His first release from his lastest opus is the Pete Rock produced "Be Easy" and with those two names alone you'd expect nothing but a banga,right? Well...hey, it didn't suck but i'onno...felt like Mr.Coles was reaching, just didn't jibe well with ya'boy. Oh, I almost forgot...the name of this new Lp is "Fishscale".
I'm an 80's baby ©; when I was a snotnose around the "Older gods" on the parkbench while they spoke their lessons, ate mickey d's and some other things (not to make a negative dispersion on a whole sect though). I'd hear a fishscale reference thrown about when speaking on narcotics. A balance beam to measure out the goods,y'know. It would've been cool to see the Lp cover look more like the Purple Tape where the inside cover has brother Rae cooking up some hard white. Hey...this is what that scale stuff deals with...

Cut out this working the docks stuff,man...it's like a self fulfilling prophecy. You know...possibly your Lp might stinks or something. But until that release i'll still be playing Supreme Clientele with the greatest skit EVER in Hiphop. Once again it's drug related...it deals with Woodrow the Crackhead. Sweet Jeebus that shit is funny and somewhat tragic at the sametime.
