$ykotic Quickstrike: The Stakes Is High

I think The Roots should give De La Soul a little bit more love. The more I listen to De La music, the more I can hear The Roots' music.But anyway, this collage shows you what people will do to get their hands on that big payday. 'For The Love Of Money' should be the quotation, but I would like to bring forth the thought that most aren't thinking of, that you should never believe that the field of competition is playing fair. Just because you are.Kibblez...

Liquid Swords

FIRE! *Lil' Fame of M.O.P. voice*Yeah I'm suffering from a heat-flash of Wu-Tang right now. I'm searching for old prescriptions to help me get over my fever. Too many of these new over the counter drugs are bad for the health so I'ma stick with my old earth's advice and take one of those home remedies.Today I'm on the 'Weapon of Wisdom' tape (that's what the title means) and listening to all of the jewels that the GZA lays down on the tracks. 'Gold'...

Mr Rap Dude Of The Year+3 Headed Monsters

I'ma call this one early. If you think about the albums released last year by rappers you can see that 'Only Built For Cuban Linx 2' is one of the few projects with relevance now in 2010. 'Blueprint 3' has pretty much ran it's course, sans the rotation heavy 3 songs. It received it's plaque of status but it didn't garner the LOVE. The same with 'Relapse', then everybody immediately started looking for the sequel. 'Deeper Than Rap' may still cause...

Think about it...

I know y'all forgot about this song. Found it all dirty in a cracked cassette case. Spike had Brooklyn looking real good, but 'Clockers' was my movie.I'm thinking about all the drama of hood/project life while watching 'Clockers' and I'm like we are soooo displaced from nature and programmed that it's not even funny. Hood life don't mean a damn thing in a forest. Man was given dominion over the planet and it's surroundings, and most of us have no...

Whatcha Doing?

First off I want to say I KNOW some dudes' NCAA brackets are toast. Those lower seeded teams ain't playing pushover this year.You don't know about National Corn Dog Day? Brush up on what's the deal. It may sound wack or what have you, but a day where people get together and sloth out on corndogs, tater tots and Pabst Blue Ribbon (Jones Co. soda also if you're a sober hova) is a good thing. The party is usually all day and you spend it having fun...

Lost Kingdoms: New Balance

I had those Worthy's back in the day. Good quality shoes for the courts. NB bought them back.So maybe you have never copped a pair of NB's, but you have always seen them. Hip Hoppers have rocked New Balance whether it has been past or present representatives. A lot of people say "those are them old people sneakers." First off that tells me the support of the shoe is official, second I would think that statement comes from a Nike fan, because Nike...

FREEZE!

yo! yo! i saw this joint and it got me hype! this is that shit! i think a lot of people love rap music. but i think a whole lot of mothafuckas forget about HIP HOP. and this is part of it. the thing that fucks me up tho, is that a lot of times i see the shit a lot of the dancers do nowadays and its just like the other elements of hip hop. it seems like even tho we've had a whole lot of shit to build on, it seems that most of these mothafuckas have actually REGRESSED with their skill set. or their desire to add a new perspective to the collective conversation. it used to be a robust discussion. now people just repeat what they heard, or just agree...

$ykotic Quickstrike: Colored Money

“and treated me like a wet food stamp”-Biz Markie“Yo, yo, why you wanna act like a tramp, a wet food stamp”-New Kids On The BlockPersonally I think the government could use this currency right now. It could be supplanting the dollar in this recession, keeping the buy and consume market working with the transfer of goods and services. What ever happened to all the bills? They even had plastic coins back in the days. Y’all done went and burned them...
