Ode to the posse cut

Monday, December 8th, 2008

For those that don’t know the posse cut is “a popular form of song in hip hop music that involves successive verses by four or more rappers.” (wiki).

I am personally a huge fan of the Posse cut, it always makes for great hip hop. But these days with rappers being stupid, and beefing for incredibly stupid reasons the Posse cut seems to be getting rarer and rarer.

So this post is an ode to the Posse cut, perhaps the best type of hip hop cut:

Slaughterhouse – Joe Budden (feat Joel Ortiz, Nino Bless, Crooked I & Royce Da 5′9)

This is the newest track I am going to post. This track gives me hope for the posse cut. I am a big fan of everyone on this and their lyrical ability is just.. out of hand really. Jump off should I keep going?

M.O.P. Ante Up Remix(featuring Busta Rhymes, Teflon, and Remy Martin)

The orignal version of this song is one of my favorites, and the Remix is just as wild. I bet half of you didn’t know locked up Remy has been in the game this long. “Wish I could bring Pun back…BLAOOW”

Sway & King Tech – The Anthem – (featuring DJ Revolution, RZA, Tech N9ne, Eminem, Xzibit, Pharaohe Monch, Kool G Rap, Jayo Felony, Chino XL & KRS-One)

Truth be told I didn’t even know (or forgot) that a video existed for this song. I am a big Em fan so I found this on Napster when it was the thing to use, looking for more Emimem songs. But Em aside look who else is on this track! It’s huge. Remember when Xzibit rapped? Also I always seem to forget about Chino XL. I really shouldn’t

The Symphony – The Juice Crew (Craig G, Masta Ace, Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane)

I have a facebook avoiding friend who would kick my ass if I left this song off the list. Classic Classic Classic.

The Scenario Remix – A Tribe Called Quest/Leaders of the New School (So many people!)

RARR RARR RARR. That is all.

Triumph – Wu Tang Clan (THE W)

Simple beat with a killer bassline that allowed all of the artists to completely dumb out and set this track on fire. The videos also pretty hype as well. Wu Tang is for the children. Rest in Piece old dirty.

I might have to break this into two parts cause I have thought of a few more tracks and I am getting way to hype for a Monday morning.

Stay tuned.

Bring back that good music!

I get on the TTC

Saw this on my friends facebook had to post it. Hilarity. I will figure out a better method to post cool things as this blog grows.

You still ride 1998

Sunday, December 7th, 2008

I wrote this 10 years ago, so I guess I am going on 10 years of BMX. WILD. Expect an I still ride 08 soon.

—————————————————————–

I was on a solo mission a few days ago and had just got out of a feeble in my local supermarket complex thingy and almost ran into my friend Jay B’s cousin. He looked at me with this shocked look on his face and asked you still ride? I replied of course I still ride what would I do if I didn’t, I would be completely lost and I proceeded to say later and go ride.

Now that I think about it I would be completely lost without my bike. My bike is a form of self expression, its helped me get stuff out of my system whether it is joy or anger or whatever.

Without my bike I would probably be a druggie or something stupid like that wasting my life. I need my BMX bike it is a part of me, no wait I need to ride, it doesn’t really matter what type of bike or terrain as long as I am on a bike I can have fun (even on a tricycle can have fun).

A lot of people think it is strange that a bike can mean so much to me but it does. Take it away and I will not be me I will be a bazzaro me (superman reference).

I won’t be the guy who never seems pissed of of sad about anything, I won’t be the dude who is always up for having fun or chillin, I dunno what I would be like, thinking about it just scares me.

So next time you feel like asking me If I still ride don’t because you already know the answer. When I am 40 I will still have a bike and ride it as much as physicall possible.
