No Hay Nada Mas

Mighty Mos

Is that Mos Def rhyming in spanish?!? Indeed it is! Even in another language, when you don't know what the hell he's saying, the song sounds good. Shows you the power Mos has in his musical ability.

in English:

"Good ones
Skinny one, call me the Skinny one, but my first name is Jacin Andante (the one who walks)
The last name the one who pays

Listen
That I am witness
The beauty the danger is different, of course it is the truth
The street and the town
The cottages and the centers

City quality costs more
War and life, love and change food that is being kept
Pistol, the prayer is for them
Ladies and gentleman
Family, upbringing
The light in the distance

I want and I say
The good is closer
My view my house my dreams my soul
I want to know and feel your embrace
And your contact, show me something... of course
Amen

Of course, of course, yes of course
There is nothing else, there is nothing else
The End - there is nothing else

Of course, of course, yes of course
There is nothing else, there is nothing else
The End - there is nothing else
Of course, of course, yes of course"

Got the translation from a website, so it's probably wrong, but you get the picture. If you don't have The Ecstatic yet, get on that.

Make That Change

We Are LASERS

Beautiful, We are Lasers will be a classic

Gaylor

This is dedicated to a very special friend of mine, named Taylor. And special she is. She's so special that she gets her own blog post, on the best blog in the world, by the best blogger in the world. Taylor likes bunnies. Taylor likes bunnies a lot. If Taylor had to choose between a human dying, or a bunny being insulted, she would chose the former. Do you know those weird old ladies that have 20+ cats living in their house, Taylor is going to be that lady... with bunnies. Taylor is also a great artist. She loves to draw and has a very promising career in the doodling field. This is a rare original of her amazing work that I am blessed to own:

Wow, look at how good she is! And she did that on an iPhone. An IPHONE! Imagine her with a paintbrush. Taylor is going to be an Astronomer when she grows up. She's so good at astronomy its ridiculous. Taylor will go to the moon. Taylor loves Britney Spears. She refuses to listen to any other music. These are just some of the reasons why Taylor is so special and why I had to show the world her specialness. 

Burton in Wonderland

I always thought the "Alice in Wonderland" stories were pretty bugged out... but in a good way. Although I barely remember the premise, other than it being something about a rabbit hole (shout out to the Matrix). When I heard that Tim Burton would be directing this new version of the film, I got butterflies in my stomach. Nohomo. Tim Burton, who's genius is behind classics like "Edward Scissorhands", "Nightmare Before Christmas", "Sleepy Hollow", two "Batman" films and others I don't feel like mentioning, is bound to tear this shit up. Burton's intricate fantasies and wild-ass imagination are sure to fit perfectly into this film adaptation. The cast looks superofficial as well; Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, and Crispin Glover are actors who I am quite fond of. A somewhat new actress, Mia Wasikowska, plays Alice. She looks dum good so I'm fine with it. These stills of the characters were just released and damn they are crazy! Depp, at the top, plays the Mad Hatter of course, then it's Alice, Bonham Carter as the Red Queen looking bugged, Matt Lucas as Tweedledee and Tweedledum, and Anne Hathaway as the White Queen, looking... white. Comes out 5th March, 2010. 

Back to the Feature- Wale & 9th Wonder

This mixtape is so tough. I didn't really even fuck with Wale like that before this, but he really is nasty. And most of the mixtape is produced by 9th Wonder... like, why did they have to OD?  Also, there are so many features on it; hence the title: Beanie Sigel, Freeway, Young Chris, Skyzoo, Talib Kweli, Jean Grae, Royce 5'9", Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz, Black Thought, Kenn Starr, Memph Bleek, Curren$y, Bun-B, K'Naan, J. Cole (monster, get up on him), Peter, Bjorn, and John and others. That's beast. 

--Oh Shit! quote of the tape: "Word picture hurt niggas, young verse killa/Bitch please, skirt lifta, young Dirk Diggler/Wahlberg Shooter, young flow fluid, and my brain travel like Yung Berg's jewels"
