I still love H.E.R....Teriyaki Boyz ft. Kanye West.
...proof that music is universal, no matter what language.
I couldn't post the video, so check it out on Youtube...

I HAD TO STEAL THIS FROM HERFECTION.COM....
This man has personified every emotion I've felt toward Hip-Hop beef, especially the corniest one between Joe Budden and Ransom (who the hell is Ransom?)...
I hope '09 brings in more creative rap battles...(50 cent & Lil Wayne *cough cough*)

Fresh album art!!
After 30min. of brainstorming a cover for the Sim-PLEX mix-tape, I gave up. The result was me finding some covers from mix-tapes due to release around the sametime as "......Sim-PLEX is not a word". More inspriration....I guess.

I still haven't changed my mind....
I still think N.E.R.D had the hottest album in '08....
(Here's the statement I made about a month ago..)
"....this was the hottest album of 2008. Yes, the hottest! Not saying albums like The Roots "Rising Down" or "Untitled" by Nas were not dope, they just lacked something. N.E.R.D.'s "Seeing Sounds" just provided a different feel on an album that I've never heard in Hip-Hop. They gave me something original in an ecclectic manner. This is why I chose this album as the hottest of the year. The year is far from over, and big name albums like Kanye's "808s and Heartbreak" and 50 Cents "Before I Self-Destruct" have the potential to blow Seeing Sounds out the water. But until then, The Neptunes have earned my respect in '08! I'm looking forward to the next one."_Jazz

WHY.....???
...Why is Charles Hamilton taking this beef with Soulja Boy seriously? This has to be a publicity stunt from Interscope or something....IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS!!!!!!

Twit for Tat.
Myspace pages, Facebook profiles and Blogs. All internet sources of the "lazy mans" communication. "Lazy" in a sense that, no one needs to "call you", to find out what you're doing or where you have been in the recent months. I am apart of all three websites and just jumped on the bandwagon for the fourth, "Twitter". Twitter seems to be replacing blog entries and facebook status' in a blink of an eye! Why? I have no clue. Twitter is a huge on-line "status" checking universe, where you can choose to follow celebrities, family or friends profiles. Along with, obtainung updates on what they're doing as of that moment. Now, being new to Twitter sucks, because if no one is "following" your status, then it kind of defeats the purpose of joining. But the more interactive you are with following other people, or obtaining your own personal followers creates another huge source of communication on-line. Soooooo, with that said. JOIN TWITTER AND ADD SIMPLEXOFFCIAL AS A FRIEND!

The lyrics on this track really have a poignant message, I feel like we are all guilty bystanders in the topic. Just listen to the lyrics and see if you can call yourself innocent of all the substances they mention. Almost none of us use/abuse all of the things they rap about, but everyone has a hand in the cookie jar that they describe. You understand, they are talking about YOU. Stop and think about it, a little bothersome how invasive the topic is. Good HH track that makes you stop and think.
I don’t want to give it all away, don’t want to be too specific, I want you to listen and think for yourself because I think that’s the tracks best feature.
This track is fairly unique among rap tunes, the callback vocals and the guitar tracks ring like “world”, reminds me of reggae music, they bring some other genres into the act.
Also the hook has a perfect down-on-it stress to it. The vox are all up front and clear. Very accessible and listenable stuff.
But uh.. I think these guys need and mature audiences warning…just to be official.
Maybe abrasive, maybe the track is shocking, bothersome, boisterous, but they wanted it that way. The message they bear is not something you would politely mention to someone, it’s something that has to be shouted.
So you’re stuck in your car behind somebody with no clue. Let’s say they are talking on the cell phone and you are stuck waiting to pass around them. They are oblivious that your car is waiting. So you have a few choices.
a. Get out of your car and walk up to them and quietly and calmly alert them to the situation, ask them nicely to move.
b. You stick your head out the window, honk the horn and yell, “Hey move it a**hole!
They chose option #2. But that fits and I like it that way. The style of delivery fits the story. It is just restrained to enough to stay in control, but unrestricted enough to have free speech with a punch.
It’s to move you to think about it. The song is a strong commentary about US. What we accept as normal, what we don’t stop to think about anymore. Well, maybe they’re right, you should stop and think about it.
