da boxx

From now on when I post I'm-a listen to the Wu-Tang channel on Pandora. They're playin' Duck Seazon right now. One-a the sleepr hits on Forever. Raekown shouts out the "Bad-Ass bitch from Dead Presidents." Who says they don't fuck with women's lib?

Inspire me, mothafucka

Raekown said last year that 36 Chambers "inspired" a lot of people, and it didn't sound like he meant creatively. Sounded like he meant, "this shit makes a lot of everyday people wanna go out and take on the day." To a degree, maybe. But if that was really what he meant, I think he could be reachin' a little. I mean, top 5 rap album, no doubt. Maybe even top 3 (Forever's the undisputed champ, so don't even start with that shit). But a Rocky theme that kept the motor runnin' for John Q. Public? I dunno. Maybe shouting bring the mothafuckin' ruckus on a continuous loop helped bus drivers, school teachers, and i-bankers stay sane and true to the people they love. Or maybe it just made you feel like a fuckin' bad ass. Like Rae or some shit.

Ninjas on some next shit...

Heard that Raekwon track, "Ninja Chop Chop" or some shit, for the first time today. Pretty loopy aesthetic, not the kind of thing he usually goes in for (remember the "hippy shit" drama with RZA?).

Still though, this track is fuckin' great. And who the fuck is that Estelle chick? She murders the hook.

Chef cookin' up some marvelous

Raekown always murdered the cuts when he collaborated with Mobb Deep in the mid-90s. Those guys understood each other.
