Purple Sector…

Chorus:

Well if you’re livin in the world today

you should be prepared to duck when the bullets start to spray

People that stand we don’t have them

cuz they blast them

alright? well Okay

Well, if you just wanna survive then clap man

and if the women wanna too well then raise ya hands

but only raise your hands if you’re sure

There’s never been a thing civil ’bout war.

Verse 1

My mind jumps continents and timezones

cries from orphans and dying mothers wont seem to leave sleep alone

tyrants use violence to push agendas on the innocent

Belligerent, even elections have become somewhat militant

Wonderful country naturally wealthy

wins its own freedom under rule seeming healthy

backroom plans while ruler schemes and plots

powerful nations take front row seats and watch

simply put if these niggas dont have oil

they have no chance of seein us touch the soil

African heat sees kids work and toil

AK’s fuel static, victim left to boil

This is just the world that we’re livin in

Where we all strive for dividends

we call this a civilized situation we livin in.

Chorus

Verse 2

Well what you know about survival?

Man, I know a lot.

Well can you educate us brother?

Hmm, I’d rather not.

Never one to brag and boast about what I got

Keep chasin chains,

you won’t break their locks

I sit back and count ways crime pays

stick up kids sport Jays and fresh waves

White collar individuals stay collectin residuals

we look at them as minimal

but dope boys as criminals

but in my mind, they’re exactly the same

one shoots for his change, one lies for the range

neither could hustle honest so they’re rackin the brain

lovin the high life, they have to maintain

They fold under the heat like Len Bias on the white horse

CEO get read his rights on his gold course

The man wit weight get handcuffed over his white Porsche

Boston Harlem Darfur Lagos and Durban

Fitted Cap, Fez, Kangol, Kufi or Turban

From rural locations, near city down to the urban

we all wish we had more than we currently earnin.

(unfinished)

FOR YOU! (echo 4x)

It’s still going down, but, after talking to some people I respect and trying to choose between four of five songs, I’ve decided to lengthen the whole daggone thing into one, awesome, sexy, svelt, delicious, 14 track eargasm. More info as it materializes in my head.

I have been teetering on the brink of unconciousness for most of the time following the Celtic’s shallacking of the rival Lakers. The parade was B-A-N-A-N-A-S, and the days after were almost equally awesome. What song has been my anthem for the past few days? GLAD YOU ASKED! Ladies and germs, Madlib and Lord Quas:

The C’s got in that @$$ like pampers, word to Quasimodo.

BigbenBigApple is my ish right now, peace to DP.

But the All Your Base Are Belong to Us Youtube craze is absolutely bananas. I love it. Here are my two faves (yup, Used faves, middle school girl style, pause.)

KanYe even drops in to show some love. Good stuff, internets.

That I will NEVER lay a finger on by the looks and sound of it.

The Dior Homme hi top:

And the Pedro Winter AF1, 200 pairs worldwide:

It’s already shaping up to be one hell of a sneaker summer, and it looks to be getting hotter. Keep with us for pics of some up and comers!

Former Vice President Al Gore endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Monday, urging Americans to reject what he called the Bush administration’s legacy of “incompetence, negligence and failure.”

In Detroit on Monday, Al Gore endorses Sen. Barack Obama for president.

“Americans simply cannot afford to continue the policies of the last eight years for another four,” Gore, the party’s 2000 presidential nominee, told Obama supporters at a rally in Detroit, Michigan.

Perceived as a senior statesman in the Democratic party, Gore’s endorsement brings a certain force to Obama’s campaign, political analysts have said. This was Gore’s debut in the 2008 election; he had not weighed in while Obama was still battling Sen. Hillary Clinton.

Amid thousands of cheering supporters, Gore began by addressing head-on the criticism that Obama doesn’t have enough experience to lead the nation.

The former Vice President turned Nobel Prize winner playfully said he recalled one Republican nominee wondering out loud whether his Democratic rival for president was “naive and inexperienced.”

“And yet another said the United States cannot afford to risk the future of the free world with inexperience and immaturity in the White House,” said Gore. “Who were they talking about? Every single one of those quotes came from the campaign of 1960, when the the Republicans attacked John Fitzgerald Kennedy for allegedly lacking the age and experience necessary to be president.”

Richard Nixon was the Republican nominee in 1960.

Joining Obama in the midst of the candidate’s two week swing through the nation to talk about his plans to revitalize the economy, Gore praised Obama as someone who could mobilize people, young and old, who had never before taken part in politics. Gore went on to praise the nominee’s vision on the environment, domestic and international issues.

Saying he will do whatever he can to support Obama’s bid for the White House, Gore said Obama has “inspired” him. “I feel that same spirit in this auditorium tonight, building all over this country this year,” he said.

“Take it from me, elections matter,” Gore said.

“If you think the next appointments to our Supreme Court are important, you know that elections matter. If you live in the city of New Orleans, you know that elections matter. If you or a member of your family are serving in the active military, the National Guard or Reserves, you know that elections matter.

“If you are a wounded veteran, you know that elections matter. If you’ve lost your job; if you’re struggling with a mortgage, you know that elections matter.” Watch Gore say Americans must let Washington know that they want a change »

Gore cited concerns about the environment, lead-painted toys and food safety — even pet foods — as other reasons to vote for the Democrat.

“After the last eight years, even our dogs and cats have learned that elections matter,” Gore said, adding, “After eight years of lost jobs and lower wages, we need change. After eight years of incompetence, negligence and failure, we need change.”

Gore said the Bush administration has “dishonored and disrespected” the Constitution and led the nation through “eight years of the most serious foreign policy mistakes in the entire history of our nation.”

The Tennessean newspaper noted Obama was among the few senators in either party who argued against the U.S.-led occupation of Iraq prior to the invasion Gore called a “blunder.”

He called for Americans to move beyond partisanship and select in Obama a leader who can “solve the climate crisis and create a bright future.”

I HATE DJ KHALED. But, man, this song is actually pretty good.  Rick Ross is slowly elevating himself to tier-0 status, word to Nike.

Tim Russert passed away today of an apparent heart attack. While I am only slightly political, and, for the most part, am known to steer clear of politics and commentary about said topic, Tim Russert seemed genuine, unbiased, and interested in any and all politcal subject matter. He stayed in the know, and managed to give a good view of issues, candidates, laws and the like from a middle-of-the-road, unbiased perspective. He made politics and other news information genuinely interesting, without leaving a viewer cheated out of any pertinent information or facts. Rest in Peace, Mr. Russert, and our hearts go out to his family, friends, and loved ones.
