My Mind Spray 17.5

You already know Squabble Up is my shit, but the rest of this new Kendrick Lamar album is unlistenable to me. He sounds like he's trying so damn hard, and I like rappers who work their magic by sounding effortless: Spoonie Gee, Slick Rick, Rakim, Mac Dre, Snoop circa 1992 to 1994, Biggie, DOOM circa Operation Doomsday, Devin The Dude, Max B etc.

If you don't condider MC Shan's So Def one of the greatest Juice Crew songs, we can't be Rap maven m8s.

Something I learned yesterday: there's a Berner-core rapper from Seattle called DZ who looks like a Mob Music Gentle Jones and is dropping an album with Dru Down.

Damn, son - James Brown's 70s TV show Future Shock has been almost entirely wiped from YouTube aside from a couple of uploads of the T-shirt commercial. Worse still, they've yet to reappear on Vimeo or Dailymotion. What happened to the world when we can't even watch random Future Shock clips on the internet anymore?

The best Kendrick song is the Kendrickless version of that song with MC Eiht that Robbie Unkut hooked up.

Gentle Jones? Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time...a long time. One of those artists you end up knowing because you already bought all the good artists' Cds from hiphopinfinity/AccessHipHop.

Gentle Jones has Google alerts on himself so he'll turn up here before the day is out.
