heavy glow
sunshine
thunder roll

yes the lantern burn burn mad easy
and broadcast so raw and easy
thunder roll
sunshine

"If you love hip hop music from the 90’s, is it possible that you love the type of hip hop that speaks to you directly? And if you really love it, do you love it any less because that type of hip hop is no longer trendy? If the answer is yes, you never really loved it, you only loved the idea of it. If you loved it in the 90’s, you can still love that same hip hop now. The fact is, the music HAS to change. These new artists are from different regions and have different experiences than those of us who were listening in the 90’s. Some of these new artists were BORN in the 90’s. Why should they be forced to make hip hop according to our rules? They have to make their own hip hop, and we must respect the growth. I don’t own any of Souljah Boys albums, because he is from a generation that is about singles, not albums. But I would be foolish to not respect what he brings to the music and the business. Before the age of mp3s, you might get 3 dope albums in a year. You just named 2 in your post from last year, KRS Buckshot, Raekwon. Did you forget Mos Def dropped last year? Foreign Exchange? Ghost album wasnt dope? What about Fashawn? JColes mixtape? Drakes mixtape So Far Gone? Did you buy KNaans Troubadour? Slaughterhouse? DOOMs Born Like This? Brother Alis Us? How about Red and Meth, Black Out 2? I personally liked the Clipse Til the Casket drops and Jayz Blueprint 3 as well. Do you think its fair to any of these artists and the hard work they put in for you to say there was nothing dope last year? Really? Nothing out of all these projects I named off the top of my head? If you fall out of love with it, you will fail to notice how beautiful it really is. I hope one day you can hear some of these great records that came out in 2009 alone.
The medium has indeed changed and the way music is sold to you has changed. Good hip hop is no longer thrust in front of you. Now you have to go and find it. But if you really love it, thats exactly what you will do. I am glad you are looking forwward to my album and Joell Ortiz. Hopefully you will be looking for Big Bois album, Nas and Damien Marley, and Lupes Lasers as well. One!"

"And I’m not really playing by anybody else’s rules or trying to live up to anyone’s expectations but mine. I’m not even competing with anyone else, in terms of, like, this artist or that camp, I’m trying to be better than my last song - not even my last album - I’m trying to be better everyday at what it is that I’m doing. I’m not gonna twist my back into pretzels and question marks to get accolades from the buying public."
