HELLO!
boy i tell ya- daniel san, although doing better, is still hell-bent on preventing me from obtaining my requisite amount of ZZZZZ's; thus, i give you the following musings of a sleep-deprived poet:
-given a choice, my selection for the next tribute show would involve clocks...BIG clocks...and pittsburgh pirates hats
-EVERYTHING is finger lickin' good
-mike tyson is still a great boxer and a misunderstood brother...who bites people
-warm weather makes my loins greasy, thus turning my pants transparent- DON'T LOOK (ha- you looked)
-i'm considering giving my genitals a good grooming, but i'm worried about the whole "samson's locks" effects...comments?
-dp needs to clip his toenails with a woodchipper (natlaw=humungousfungusamongus)
-have you seen my wallet?
-deep inside, i still believe that malik will return all those stolen goods and confess to the world's greatest practical joke...
-seriously; will grooming my nuts make me more palatable to the lady, or less than masculine? COMMENTS!
-i love my mama
-rhome will soon return to his usual surly, grouchy, complaining-ass steez...i wonder why?
-pleeeeease tell me your name...even if i greet you like we were separated at birth
-SATURDAY MORNING CARTOOOOOOOONS...don't really exist anymore
-seed, it's all love man- e-mail us...
-pcp or opium? hmmmmm
-grap luva ain't no joke
-you ain't ready for my new isht...therhythmisinsync, therhymesareonTIME!
and i will post more often...
might as well
it ain't like i'm sleeping

Tribe jont...
What DP said. There was unified bash. Welcome to all y'all that didn't know there was hip-hop in your own backyards, hope to see you at some more shows. Word on the street is that some folk thought the whole Tribe thing was a hoax and that we would just hoodwink innocents into being held hostage in the Black Cat. I still can't believe we actually went through with it.
I guess I should talk about this Thursday now.
We're doing this jont and stuff, at Andalu. Like music and stuff... um.... I'ma play some rekkids, and do some zigga ziggas with them on the phonograph, and twiddle some beats with this digital thingy, then other guys with drums and keyboards and guitars will make sounds too, and we'll all make sounds together. I don't know what kind of sounds. Maybe some people will make sounds with their larynxes too. Maybe I will do that too. What I won't do is a hambone with soup spoons, but I might beatbox. I promise I will not yodel. I hope it'll be dope, I'm kinda scared. We'll start making this cacaphony of sounds at 8:30, but if you come before then starting at 6, I will play rekkids like normal people do, and you can imbibe alcoholic fluids to prepare you for what will happen at 8:30.

ahem,
allow me to reminisce if i may...
-densely-packed high energy soundscapes
-the screeching sounds of tearing metal
-high-pitched blasts of brass instruments
-that hellacious screaming whine...
these were the definitive traits of the BOMB SQUAD's sound
and for a long time, that was hip hop to me.
that 'wall-of-sound' type of production spread beyond Public Enemy and became the dominant sound of the late 80's
then- boom: these conscious cats dropped a low-fi album of mad quirky, funky-ass hip hop wrapped in a unique personal style that was wild different from any hip hop group to date. what group? click here
yeah- not who you thought, huh?
probably thought i meant these guys; or maybe these cats
well, the order of this is very important
you see, from straight out the jungle, to 3 feet high and rising, and people's instinctive travels
i was down- cats like me loved the intellect and the approach to the native tongues style,
but we still needed what PE gave us: energy/heat/air gettin' mashed through some speakers
preferably big-ass speakers...
THEN
CAME
THE ALBUM
THE LOW END THEORY
service with a smile, 5 & Dime style (more on that later)
it had the vibe
it had the cool shit going for it
but most of all- it had the mash
people to this day piss me off with that "jazz rappers" tag that got hung on tribe
CUZ IT IGNORES THE FACT THAT 'BAMAS WERE BLOWIN' SPEAKERS OUT WITH THIS RECORD
thus, this brings me to the show
Saturday, January 19th @The Black Cat- 1811 14th St. NW (14th & S)

Not errybody's slummin', Ellington has made jonts available to cop, bless his eccentric soul.
I would respectfully like to add Team Demolition to the slummin' list though. I'm just sayin'...
Wow, this is fun! Who else can I call out? Melodramatic, Oktoberworld, Pariss Clemmons... stay tuned.

hey- how come i can't put up washpost mp3 links for the following people's music? cuz they're SLUMMIN'!
the slum list goes as follows:
-w. ellington felton
-raheem devaughn
-mello d and the rados
-EVERYBODY ELSE WITH A RECORDING THAT HASN'T MADE IT AVAILABLE FOR FOLKS TO DOWNLOAD A JONT!
i mean damn- just one jont; believe me, cats are changing the way they get their music and i don't wanna see anybody in the urrea left behind on that particular frontier. just posting ONE song can potentially get you about 30 new faces at your next local gig. cater to the zealots y'all
UPLOAD A JONT IN 2002

ps. i'm on y'all out of luv and respect- so if you think o'wise, think again maaaaaaaaaan...

review of our last trip around the sun cont'd:
-mello d and the rados dropped another album and turned into the road warriors, playing everywhere
-raheem devaughn was voted 'most likely to succeed' by the people
-storm the unpredictable remained the hardest working man in show business
-andalu started having nice little 'live music/lounge out' sessions; big ups ritza!
-groove gumbo took it to even higher levels of what you've come to expect from the crew
-clear channel put out a dumb-ass list of songs not to play post-9/11
-steph renee kept blowin' up philly
-maverick records kept effin' with the release of meshell's new album
-tito got touched up quite nicely by bernard 'the executioner' hopkins; but why my man look like bernard 'the dominatrix' hopkins on his website?
-hasim rockman came very, very close to actually having his lips PUNCHED OFF HIS FACE. for real. they partially detached on the left side of his cheek, where he started bleeding profusely (if y'all watched that replay as much as i did)
-w. ellington dropped art hurts! project 2 "soul sonnets"
-mothers milk, b-girl manifesto, black lily and others screamed for you to listen to their feminine expressions of art & culture...and they were heard
-m'wile yaw askari was commemorated on 10/20/01
-DANIEL ASKARI WASHINGTON represented- 10/31/01
-Soon Come... finally came! yuh- big ups to unspoken heard
-dc got an underground hip hop golfers society...
-and to end on a symmetrical note, the build showcase ended things like they started: at the 9:30 club, albeit this time hosted by head-roc, with w. ellington, urban ave. 31 feat. raheem devaughn, avalanche soundsystem (big ups mao!) and unspoken heard.
now you, the reader, will tell me with much righteous indignation how i missed something near and dear to your heart. maybe. maybe i just didn't feel like stating the obvious. whatever you feel- g'head with ya bla bla bla-isms in the g-book
easy,
