UnioNoMics 101

1. Fuck John McCain. It's funny how one side gets pissed when the other does the same shit they been doing. Politicians, as a rule, can go fuck themselves. They all suck, and to varying degrees, they're all disgusting human beings who lie for a living.

In case you're too lazy to click the link, Harry Reid (a Dem), back in 2008, said that Obama could win because he's light-skinned and doesn't speak with "Negro dialect." Use of the word Negro aside (seriously who the fuck still says Negro), Reid didn't say anything that isn't true. If Chris Rock had said it nobody would give a fuck. Cuz we all know that a light-skinned (half-Black even) bruh who "speaks so well" is the best chance Black people could have to get in the White House.

So anyway Republicans are pissed cuz Obama pretty much doesn't seem to care that Reid said that, and it seems that Reid will keep his job and position as Senate Majority leader. Really I could care less. Obama knows that cats see him as Black before anything else, so this revelation really didn't open his eyes to anything. I'm sure Reid will be punished in some other, stealthier way. Issue deaded as far as everyone but Republicans and other stick-uptight-in-their-ass people are concerned

2. Black Rob needs to get outta jail and stay outta jail. Today I rediscovered his two albums, and my feeling is hip-hop needs Black Rob. Real good story, realistic thug-rap.

3. Fuck my job. That shit has ruined my creative mood since TPRH was finished. Gotta find something new, VERY fast. For various reasons my writer's block is crazy, and I'm sure the job is a part of that. Fuck real life in general, in college it was much easier to get inspired.

4. Go download Da Vinci's mixtape!! Don't just listen to it, download it. Post comments with your thoughts on it

So nature calls, and you head to the bathroom.

There's 3 stalls, you pick the one closest to the door, as someone is in the farthest one and you wanna keep your distance. Cats be stinking like, well, shit, at ya job.

There's no one else in the bathroom 'sides y'all two, so you hear everything.

The other guy finishes, and you hear him walk by your stall towards the sinks. A faucet turns on, so far so good...

5, count 'em, 5, seconds later, the faucet turns off.

Ain't no way he coulda lathered, washed, and rinsed his shitty hands that quick. I know damned well this mufucka don't think he done!!

Sure enough, the sound of muthafuckin footsteps reaches your ear. Then the door opens, more footsteps, and the door closes.

...All's quiet on the western front. And you're left to deal with that (now) shitty door handle.

Fuck my life with a raging stone cock! I HATE this office!!

I know I haven't done a real post in forever. I've been living real life for a minute. between work-travel, working on my EP, and a few dates(!), I've been busy. Not so busy that I haven't had free time, but busy enough that my mind isn't clear enough to blog. And that when I have time to blog, I don't feel like spending the time to make a real entry.

I did get a speeding ticket today. My first one ever. 5 years driving waaaaayyy over the speed limit, and now I finally get caught. These cops was just out chillin, 6pm on Tuesday the 24th. I know there's still a week left in the month, but I'm convinced that they were out there filling their quotas.

There was like 7 different cops out chilling at a stop sign where a small street meets a bigger street. All the squad cars and most of the cops were chillin like 40 ft down the side street, obviously to hide themselves from the main street. Meanwhile one guy is out on the main street flagging lawbreakers into the side streets to get their tickets. Now that I think about it, it was like a fucking ticket-factory. One dude flags speeders and non-stoppers in, where 6 cops take turns handing out tickets.

I rolled up thinking they were shutting the street down and I gotta take this other street as a detour, and then another 5 walks up and tells me I went 45 in a 25, wanting my license. My dumbass still doesn't realize I been trapped: now I gotta find my way thru this detour AND I got a ticket? This blows! I won't begin to describe how long it took me to realize me that there was no roadblock and that (pause) I'd just got fucked by the long dick of the law.

Today was soooo good before the bacon brigade ruined it. But I'm bout to record one of the 2 last songs for Thru Playing Round Here! After these there's a little more mixing, then I gotta put the Boondocks skits in and I'll be done! Almost there! I'll put the latest songs on here soon. Will alert y'all when I do. Peace

sucks but I have to stifle my thoughts so that I'm not so negative all the time. But there's so much to dislike in this world!

This was part of a twitter convo from earlier today. Shorty asked me about public access tv in Philly, and I had to admit that I had no clue about it because I barely even watch tv, cuz I hate most tv shows. Then she asked if my crew The Union, was the same as DJ Self's dj crew(same name), which only served to make me pissed at the world. So I'm like nah we're not the same, I never heard of this DJ Self cat. She says he's really popular in NYC, he's on 105.1 and does net radio too. So here we go again: I don't fuck with the radio pretty much at all. lol @ you making me see how disagreeable I am.

Except, I wasn't laughing at all. No one wants to be the "negative person," the one no one wants to talk to cuz they always got something unpleasant to say. But every once I get caught in a convo/situation where everything that happens or is said is something that I disagree with. It only happens when I meet new people, after this meeting I know to avoid this person and their apparent utter lack of good taste.

New Person: Did you see Ray J's show last night?
Me: Are you fucking kidding me, who gave that c-list dickhead a tv show?!!!
New Person: VH1. It's like Flava Of Love! It's stupid but so entertaining!
Me: My God it never stops does it? **begins to cry inside**
New Person: Huh? I can't hear you over this Beyonce that I'm blasting!
Me:  **dies**

I really do try hard not to be so negative but it's hard sometimes. I don't walk around looking for shit to hate, but there's just so much of it. American society is so anti-intellectual, that thinkers get exhausted because there's so much stupid shit to notice and dislike. It probably doesn't help that I planned on chilling today since I had worked so much earlier this week (don't ask and I won't remember the frustration) but worked popped up and basically ruined my Friday afternoon.

The post title comes from this song:


Two-Fold - Heiruspecs

PS, if you like Beyonce or For The Love of Ray J, know that I do not hate you. But I do like you a little bit less...

There's a decent number of things going on in my life right now, I guess so much that I haven't felt like blogging. I'm probably not spending enough time relaxing, letting my mind wander.

Thru Playin' Round Here is coming along very nicely. It's about halfway mixed now. Every song is sounding very good. And I'm still learning more about mixing. I've learned a real cheap way to use compression effects, which amounts to me running a preset. But hey it's a start right. And apparently I'm the absence of apathy is a great way to start a verse.

I've decided to stop putting off my other forms of expression. So I'm gonna learn to make beats, and I'm gonna stop putting off practicing dj'ing. In the spirit of these two objectives, yesterday me and a friend went out to Old City and I bought mad vinyl records. 13 records for $53. Including this joint:

If you don't fuck with these niggas here, th'fuck outta here! Get off my blog. Knowledge ain't for you. Not till you educate yourself lol. This joint has At Your Best on it! I'ma find a way to sample a piece of that one day, I just gotta!

I hate to rant so often but I gotta say something: If you don't know about a subject, what gives you right to talk about it?! I don't debate whether R&B cats should keep on singing or not, cuz I'm not huge into R&B. Sometimes you can just tell when cats' are running their mouths just cuz. Like I'm gonna talk cuz I want to, regardless of me knowing next to nothing about this subject except catching a 30-second news brief everyday.

Get this mixtape however you can, it's Blue Magic I swear:
