I sit up nights, let the beat loop, contemplate what to write
think you got me figured out, but you’ll never know what its like
to live my life, the attempts to live up to hype
of being the nicest asian to ever lift the mic

those saying that recovery is the best eminem album yet must not remember him at his prime. slow down a bit with your enthusiasm and keep things in perspective. may i direct you to an earlier post, with one of my favorite mixtape freestyles from the detroit emcee. i’m not a pessimist but unless his next album is titled infinite 2, it’s really just downhill from here. and would somebody please tell lupe fiasco to release something, anything … i’m forgetting that this is FNF Up!

gemstones, known for his work with lupe fiasco, released a new track called my hood this week. though he’s no longer signed to first n fifteenth and is ignored by the now corporate highbrow lupe, as drake would say: gemstones is FNF UP forever man. check out the single to his shelved troubles of the world album in one of my old posts. this week, here’s three of my favorite dj premier remixes.

fans who only purchase music digitally may forget what quality is supposed to sound like. there really is a difference between mp3 and uncompressed cdda audio on compact disk. even high bit rates can’t compare to a physical copy. i’m one of those people who use ridiculously overpriced headphones and it’s disappointing that consumers accepted mp3 as the format they pay for. lossless flac is now offered by independent stores but the majors are yet to catch on. thankfully, the industry is still driven by retail sales. you’ll find me browsing best buy, not itunes. on an unrelated note, it turns out that if i post a direct link to an mp3, there’s a dozen search engine spiders that make it available directly in their search results or in even streaming music apps. no more local links i guess. anyway, here’s an ’02 flashback.
