MF Quickies: 50 Cent, Ralph McDaniels..

June 29th, 2008 ·

Man, I don’t really expect too many heads to be checking for me here (although I am surprised because I do get emails and feedback, so thank you all who do care..) I have been insanely busy in my ‘real-life’, job, school (yes, as I mentioned in a previous post I have gone back to […]

Polow the Leader.. or.. Garage Banned

April 7th, 2008 ·

So, what happened was, Usher’s new song Love In This Club, was produced by Polow Da Don.

Well, this interests me of course, and as usual, […]

Funny how things work.

I share a birthday with my Hunni. While this makes it unlikely I’ll ever get a surprise party, it does make for a fun time of year when we co-party, and occasionally, have a co-party. This was such a year. On the way home from BJs, I hear Funk Flex blasting […]

Hip-Hop (and Sean Taylor) Is Dead. Long Live Hip-Hop.

November 29th, 2007 · 1 Comment

So I was e-leafing through the hip-hop related blogs in my RSS favorites when I came across a posting on RealTalkNY regarding an entry written by FoxSports columnist, Jason Whitlock, that appeared to blame ‘hip-hop’ with the shooting and subsequent death of the NFL’s Sean Taylor. The responses were, as expected on a blog […]

Can’t leave producing alone, the game needs me…

November 13th, 2007 · 1 Comment

Everytime I secretly start thinking about giving all this up, I get something like this:
[From Damian via MySpace note]
Wow…
That’s all I can say right now, man. Your revisions and recreations of familiar songs are so refreshing to my ears. The ears of a hip hop fan that yearn to hear something new and exciting. You […]

Things With Manny Faces - Episode 1

October 21st, 2007 ·

I’m way too amazing to be narcissistic!

October 19th, 2007 · 3 Comments

Occasionally, I see really interesting things, sometimes music-related things, and I am tempted to post them here. But than I say to myself, “no, this is not that kind of blog”. I mean let’s face it, among several blogs I read, there are several top items that are found on all of them, just in […]
