On second thought, I think a good 80% of all triple 6 joints are about beating niggas up in clubs.

D - yep, caught that video a while back. Really crazy. I played Knaan a loooong time ago on Episode 18. I think I got some new live CD from him a couple weeks back, but I haven't listened to all of it yet. Dude has some good tunes though. Astron: what video were you talking about again? mccm: "mister". Haha. You make an interesting point about the talent level of someone that can't find more creative words to use. I'd argue that there are several other things at play in the decisions (rap being a reflection of (in some cases putative) "reality", the question of who the music is for, etc), but yeah. Driving home from work a couple months back I rolled up next to a white dude in a pickup, wearing some country-ass threads and looking like something from a Dukes of Hazzard outtake, bumping some of the most vulgar-ass Three 6 Mafia cut in the world. Something about beating niggas up in clubs. And just bobbing his head. Weird.

Hey Dex, been meaning to thank you for offering to send me some recommendations as a response to my comment on your last podcast. I’ll definitely take you up on that offer but for now I’m more than content digging through your virtual crates!

Got a quick recommendation of my own for you – though chances are you’ve already heard/seen this. Buddy just sent me this link to a Somalia-born Canadian rapper named K’Naan, who has a novel twist to Lupe’s Kick Push. Only part that I don’t like is the “uh-uh-uh-uh” at the very beginning, but the rest borders on genius, imho.

Check it out when you get a chance.

Keep keeping it real, Dex.

Dex:

Nicolay and Kay, no doubt they’re spending time down in Utrecht.
Have you seen the jayz video with him throwing around euros, hell ya i’d be making money in the Netherlands.

MIA shows? shit, check Paper Planes @ Treasure Island Music Festival.
The track is an anthem.

ever since mos said that ‘they say it again when they with they close associates and friends’ and ‘when this song is in they car’ i’ve had second thoughts everytime i’m rappin along with my favorite rappers droppin the n word everywhere.

after trying several variations we’ve discovered that the absolute most hilarious replacement is the word mister. so now its a game replacing all the n words with mister.. singin along with the aforementioned mos def song using that trick is the height of entertainment..

of course, i think its bullshit that somebody would get pissed off if i was singing along with a song.. and if all my favorite rappers are as talented as i thought they were, they should be able to do better and not give it to me to sing along with..

Beewirks is a massive favorite – that “Make it happen” track has been on repeat for a week now! Probs the most interesting beatmaker on my radar right now. Big up.

Get well Travis.

One.
