Ever since around 2002, I’ve been a fan of Kansas City, MO rapper Tech N9ne. His album Absolute Power was released on my 18th birthday, and that album changed my perspective on rap. I’ve even referred to his music as “progressive rap” due to the eclectic nature and lyrical references. Aside from Steve Vai, Randy Rhodes and various guitarists in Heavy Metal, Tech’s speed rap technique was very influential on my wanting to play faster guitar. A common theme through a good amount of Tech’s albums a…

“Hotel Atlanta Incidentals” Part 2:
Meeting Your Idol That You Never Knew
Since this is winter, the days are shorter; nightfall is at 6 PM and this Atlanta night is freezing. As I’m walking out of the mansion, I noticed this older gentleman who was doing the smoke bomb effects earlier in one of the scenes of the video. I see him leaning on the rail facing the pool. Puffing on a cig and sipping on some…

Wrote this last week:
Right now, it’s Thursday December 10 2009. I’m in Atlanta, GA right now at a Hyatt on business assisting out my sister out with some behind the scenes stuff for Dru Hill’s new video. Anyway, on the way down to Atlanta, it became even more apparent that the people we surround ourselves around really reflect us and we reflect them to an extent. I noticed the common ground between m…

The Difference Between Bullshit and the Real Shit by John M. Ellison
I was online earlier checking my mail and one of the stories was about a guitarist that recently passed on. Since he was only 39, I’m thinking “Wow, kind of young.” The guitarist in question was Mat Arluck of Chicago band Sweet Cobra. Like most of the readers, I haven’t heard of them. After reading the article and listening to some o…

This tour is one of those events that will change your perspective on music. For those who aren’t aware of Afro-Punk, this is the time to explain. Afro-Punk originally started out as a documentary directed by James Spo…

I guess nowadays, since sex is so prevalent in pop culture, it's not as shocking or interesting to see your favorite celeb in an intimate moment with whomever as it was about 10-15 years ago. Now, the latest sex tape is allegedly of rapper Inga Fung Marchand, better known as "Foxy Brown" performing oral sex on a man who is also videotaping act.
Foxy Brown has a reputation for performing music that is q…

As cliché as it sounds, I remember the first Afro-Punk gathering like it was yesterday. Looking back, it reminded me of that “Chappelle’s Show” sketch in which Dave Chappelle asked “what if the internet was a place you could physically go to?” There it was, all of the people that I spoke to, became friends with all converging to the lower east side of Manhattan at CBGB’s. That was around 2005. Now in 2009, CB…

No, we're not going to be eating any underprivileged kids. But, how about this for an idea...enough spamming! There a few members on there that jack threads to advertise there product with threads that have nothing to do with there products. How about this, another section for nothing but messages that advertise your art.
p.s. kudos for the folks who get the literary reference.

Okay, these comments are just thoughts. Nothing to read into deeply, this pathos with some remnant of ethos and logos sprinkled about. Here's the deal, A lot of us over the years have made the expected Michael Jackson joke that was in bad taste. I'm not excluded, but I've noticed how the media is hypocritical by trying to emanate this feeling of lament. But, the media plays a major part in his downfall.
Okay, we can all agree that Michael was how can I put this...fucking weird. Thing is, in mos…

I was thinking of writing a prologue of epic proportions but I realized that would be circumlocution.
I've noticed a trend of "stupid guy shit" that women are trying to emulate and I wonder "How can women emulate a so called man's game when the men are acting like little boys?" I believe we're all equal gender wise in ability. I feel that we all have maternal and paternal energy within us whether we realize…

Not that kind of mod. So you can keep the Vespa and classic ska albums...okay, you can give me the classic ska albums, but nonetheless, I now have Moderator status on here. Well, I'll make this brief before I start making any "new Sheriff in this town" references.

Today we recognize when troops under General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín went up against the French troops that out numbered the Mexicans and whooped the French's ass. Learning this, it shows that you can overcome even the most unlikely odds put against you...remember that.
But for my heavy drinkin' mofos out who could give a shit less about history, this is just a good excuse to get ripped off of Tequila and tr…

Suggest a topic on here and let's elaborate on it. But a few guidelines...
1. If you're in the chat, say something or mention "hey, I'm just looking on the main page"
2. Trying to instigate anything isn't necessary and shows immaturity.
3. Be easy.
4, There's nothing for four, I just like the symmetry.

Well folks, it looks like my Mentors and Boondocks masterpiece was taken down off Youtube due to a copyright claim from Sony. True, Sony is in the right for looking over there copyright claim, but...
1) I didn't make any money off of this.
2) In a way, I was promoting The Mentors and The Boondocks
3) I never claimed I owned either or created either work. I merely edited it and made something that people thought was interesting and got a laugh out of.
You have to love corporate america and ho…
