Big K.R.I.T. - Live From The Underground

This album comes out on June 5th, I started listening to it today though. It has a really lyrical-southern feel, crazy I know, kind of has a 90s OutKast sound to it. With features from artists such as Bun B, Anthony Hamilton, Ludacris, 2Chainz (truuu) and more it might be one of the better southern albums to come out in the past couple of years, expect me to upload a song or few.

Riddle Me This pt. 21

Do people really believe (and I don’t mean for the moment) in the more radical things they reblog (or RT or even repeat)?

"Rap and Hip-Hop isn't meaningful or complex!"

2Pac: And since we all came from a woman, got our name from a woman and our game from a woman, I wonder why we take from our women. Why we rape our women, do we hate our women? I think it's time to kill for our women, time to heal our women, be real to our women. And if we don't we'll have a race of babies that will hate the ladies that make the babies. And since a man can't make one, he has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one.
Jay-Z: Silly rappers, because we got a couple Porsches, MTV stopped by to film our fortresses. We forget the unfortunate. Sure I ponied up a mill, but I didn't give my time. So in reality I didn't give a dime, or a damn. I just put my monies in the hands of the same people that left my people stranded. Nothin' but a bandit, left them folks abandoned. Damn, that money that we gave was just a band-aid, can't say we better off than we was before.
Kanye West: Is it genocide? 'Cause I can still hear his momma cry, know the family traumatized. Shots left holes in his face, 'bout piranha-size. The old pastor closed the cold casket, and said the church ain’t got enough room for all the tombs. It’s a war going on outside we ain’t safe from, I feel the pain in my city wherever I go. 314 soldiers died in Iraq, 509 died in Chicago.
Mos Def: When the average minimum wage is $5.15, you best believe you gotta find a new grind to get cream. The white unemployment rate, is nearly more than triple for black so frontliners got they gun in your back. Bubblin crack, jewel theft and robbery to combat poverty and end up in the global jail economy. Stiffer stipulations attached to each sentence. Budget cutbacks but increased police presence. And even if you get out of prison still livin join the other five million under state supervision. This is business, no faces just lines and statistics from your phone, your zip code, to S-S-I digits. The system break man child and women into figures. Two columns for who is, and who ain't niggaz. Numbers is hardly real and they never have feelings but you push too hard, even numbers got limits. Why did one straw break the camel's back? Here's the secret: the million other straws underneath it - it's all mathematics
Lupe Fiasco: I really think the war on terror is a bunch of bullshit. Just a poor excuse for you to use up all your bullets. How much money does it take to really make a full clip. 9/11 building 7 did they really pull it. And a bunch of other cover ups. Your childs future was the first to go with budget cuts. If you think that hurts then, wait here comes the uppercut. The school was garbage in the first place, thats on the up and up. Keep you at the bottom but tease you with the uppercrust. You get it then they move you so you never keeping up enough. If you turn on TV all you see’s a bunch of “what the fucks”. Dude is dating so and so blabbering bout such and such. And that aint Jersey Shore, homie thats the news. And these the same people that supposed to be telling us the truth. Limbaugh is a racist, Glenn Beck is a racist. Gaza strip was getting bombed, Obama didn’t say shit. Thats why I aint vote for him, next one either. I’ma part of the problem, my problem is I’m peaceful. And I believe in the people.

socialism: you have 2 cows and you give one to your neighbour.
communism: you have 2 cows; the government takes both and gives you some milk.
fascism: you have 2 cows; the government takes both and sells you some milk.
nazism: you have 2 cows; the government takes both and shoots you.
bureaucratism: you have 2 cows; the government takes both, shoots one, milks the other and throws the milk away..
traditional capitalism: you have 2 cows. you sell one and buy a bull. you herd multiplies, and the economy grows. you sell them and retire on the income.
an american corporation: you have 2 cows. you sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. later, you hire a consultant to analyse why the cow dropped dead.
a french corporation: you have 2 cows. you go on strike because you want three cows.
a japanese corporation: you have 2 cows. you redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. you then create a clever cow cartoon image called cowkimon and market them worldwide.
an italian corporation: you have 2 cows, but you don't know where they are. you break for lunch.
a swiss corporation: you have 5000 cows. none of which belong to you. you charge others for storing them.
a chinese corporation: you have 2 cows. you have 300 people milking them. you claim full employment, high bovine productivity, and arrest the newsman who reported the numbers.
an iraqi corporation: everyone thinks you have lots of cows. you tell them that you have none. no one believes you and they bomb your arse. you still have no cows, but at least now you are part of a democracy...
counter culture: 'wow, dig it, like there's these 2 cows, man, grazing in the hemp field. you gotta have some of this milk!'
surrealism: you have two giraffes. the government requires you to take harmonica lessons.
fatalist: you have 2 doomed cows...
a west-country corporation: you have 2 cows. that one on the left is kinda cute.
a brazilian corporation: you have 2 cows. you pay taxes for 6 cows. you have to sell one cow in order to pay the taxes. your remaining cow gets sick and dies while waiting for availability in the public vet hospital.
