TO MY BLOGGING PEOPLES!
Check this out: there is a very handy HTML tag: target=_blank that you can attach to the back of your links. This makes it so when someone clicks on hypertext in your blog, it will open the link in a new window, which means that we can still read your original entry. You cannot imagine how useful this tag for a reader and moreover, preserves the integrity of your original entry. This is how a properly entered tag would look:
<a href=http://your.link.here.com target=_blank>
This may seem like some geeky HTML programming shit but really, it's very, very, very useful. Think about it.
On that tip, bloggers who don't already publish an RSS feed for their blogs (yo, that's you Catchdubs!) need to get with it, pretty please?

- "It's too bad there's never been--and given our hypersensitivity to that chimera "hate speech," may never be--an equally public debate about the validity of that notoriously dimwitted genre of aural graffiti known as rap, the artistic merits of which the music media, in its zeal to see young black radicals do well, has been over-hyping for two decades now. Don't get me wrong, rap can be great fun. At its early best, before it became overrun by gangstas, thugz, pimps, hoez, and other types you wouldn't want to bring home to your grandma (or your spelling teacher), rap was the closest thing to a revival of the loose goofiness of Lieber-Stoller-era Coasters...Since then many rap albums have had their meager merits exaggerated by the press." - Arsenio Orteza in the book's essay on why It Takes a Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back is overrated (at least according to Orteza).
I'd spend some time pointing out how incredibly stupid Orteza sounds right here but frankly, it kind of speaks for itself.
In any case, why bother coming out with a book whose expressed purpose is to trash albums that other people like? I can imagine, it wasn't hard for DeRogatis to find 30+ bitter writers out there for the project but actually getting it published seems like a worthless exercise in pissiness. I'm glad to see I'm not the only who thinks so. By the way, is the fact that I've never heard of most of the authors in this book a sign that I'm out of touch or they are?

- EASTER BREAK treat for TEACHERS - m4w - 30
Are you a young sexy teacher who has desires that you would never want your students to know about? Easter break is either this week or next week and you are off from school. Let me get you off. Great tongue and great dick here.
Let's make this an awesome Easter Break!
- Lemme tell you how we fend to get paid
We gonna order pizza and when we see the driver
We gonna stick the 25 up in his face
Lets ride, stepping outside like warriors
Head to the notorious Southside
One weapon to the four of us
Hiding in the corridor until we see the Dominos car headlights
White boy in the wrong place at the right time
Soon as the car door open up he mine
We roll up quick and put the pistol to his nose
By the look on his face he probably shitted in his clothes
(lyrics from ohhla.com)
Last time I checked, pizza deliveries dudes - white or black - were not the kind of folks that you go all Robin Hood off of - they're pretty much part of the working class/service exploited, i.e. the kind of people that a true, "revolutionary" movement would seek to include, not rip-off. Understandably, it's probably easier to jack the pizza guy than it is to rip off The Fed, but it's hard to see how you're going to get the revolution started by fucking over the population of people who might actually be down with you. Funkdigital.com drops his own critique.
Real quick: Jay-Z proves that he's still the illest with this line from the "Hell Yeah" (Remix): "Now the police, got me in the middle of the street/Trying to beat me blue, black and orange."
