This is one of my favorite songs ever and i just found out that there was a video for it. We knocked this song, DJ DMD - “Go Back Home,” and Devin - “See What I Can Pull,” everyday of the 2001 summer…ON AN ACTUAL MIXTAPE THAT I MADE! Remember mixtapes! That’s what’s up. Be prepared for lengthy misogyny on the latter two.
We fucks with that Screwed Up Click, Devin, and H-Town in general, indeed.
R.I.P Fat Pat
“Love It Mayne!”
Peace.
I dont know, wordpress is trippin right now and wont let me put these videos up and im too tired to give a fuck right now, but i already posted this post so just peep the videos i woulda posted here on youtube and have a ball. now on to the post.
I been grindin for finals since around like the end of April and feel like most (emphasize most, not all) posts ive put up here have reflected that, but shit that’s how it be i guess. i haven’t been paying much attention to anything or going out that much at all. no matter the price of gas i put $10 (of credit) in that muhfuckin gas tank, and save that shit for either a friday or a saturday when i might need to be driving to kick it and then i hop in someone else’s whip the next night. that’s how the shit be in a recession…AND Cali just officially announced it’s a drought goin’ on too!
Man, forreal, all i’ve been doing is staying up all day and night and reading about Macroeconomics and trying to learn 1/2 a semester’s worth of shit in 3 days/nights so that i may be able to pass my finals and write this paper. It doesn’t help the self esteem at all knowing that i aint got no money and then on top of that reading and writing about recessions and credit loans and bullshit like that every day. but i guess at least i know a little bit about that stuff now.
Anyways, i guess this is kind of a little delirious vent to whoever checks this page (Colin, KChedda and a few other great people, haha) about where my head has been and hasnt been and its really only halfway into this very post as of right now, but like the title says i’m hella burnt out and need to pass out at like 10pm and that’s INCREDIBLY early for me. I just wanted to do this post because i got a little bit excited cuz C-Dubb told me that he had just watched the N2Deep - Back to the Hotel video on youtube and told me to watch it, so i did, got juiced, watched the MC Breed - Ain’t No Future In Yo Frontin video right after that and was lovin every minute of it. See, this is one of the reasons i still HAVE to have lyrics in my life to make it complete, cuz even tho MC Breed aint talkin about a lot in his song he actually REALLY IS. Not like hella the popular shit now. I’m pretty happy i grew up in the era of rap that i did, not that i dont think and know that it is getting MUCH better as of late, there’s just some incredibly dope shit about the early to mid 90s era (WEST COAST in particular) shit. it aint hella epic and everybody needing the most expensive ass shit. its muhfuckas in non pro-fit caps with their names on it and sweatshirts and regular ass beer and shit that is normal to me, not jay z rappin about humidors in his car and shit. haha. aw man, and i love jay z but damn cuz. enough with this rant and onto the videos. peace, piece, paz. g.slavename (shout to C++ for that one!).
MC BREED - Aint No Future in Yo Frontin’. got damn, what a real ass song title. (”you leave it up to me i paint the white house black, it aint no future in yo frontin” what’s good Barack we waitin for the day! haha)
N2Deep - Back to the Hotel. They dont stop bobbin their heads once through the whole video, its great.
Domino - Sweet Potatoe Pie. Nuff said.
Gone.
“First Black Presidential Nominee”
(those are some weird/surreal ass words to read, and they’re all over the internet)
In a country built under the guise of freedom while simultaneously enslaving Africans and committing genocide against Native Americans. In a country where the current president’s overt racism and ignorance led him to perceive Hurricane Katrina as not worth his attention. In Amerika, where Dubya and his oligarchy are so consumed and blinded by tenacious greed and power that they have sent the countries poor and working class to fight, kill, and die in erroneous, illegal, unjustified wars, killed thousands of people over seas, worked harder than ever at destroying the global environment, and driven the economy into a recession.
In a country where the majority of the wealthy came to be that way through owning slaves. In a country that is still only leasing black people the right to vote. In a country that brutally criminalizes, strategically policies and without hesitation marches all who are deviant from the norm of whiteness into concentration camps, secret and not so secret prisons.
I could go on: Jim Crow, the Militarization of the border (guess which one), the counter revolutions to the revolutionary action of the 1960s, the Education Industrial Complex, etc. etc. etc.
In a country this fucked up and racist, Barack Obama has just won the presidential nomination of one of the major political parties and has earned the right to possibly be voted into office as the first black president in the history of this fucked up, oppressive, racist, genocidal, colonizing Amerika that we call home.
Congratulations.
It’s wild to see how a wealthy, white, Christian, homophobic administration fucked up soooooo bad with this country that even white people were like, “Fuck this shit!” and down to vote and nominate this black man potentially into office.
This is an historic moment in my life. I actually am so distracted with finals and papers right now that i haven’t really left this computer for a couple days, so i’m kinda not paying attention to anything. But this shit is nuts, and I am not really grasping the magnitude and the impact of this shit right now, but DAMN man…I don’t really have more words right now. I’ll just put up a picture and holler at ya’ll later.
A black man with a white mama. Makes sense. We do got mad privilege. Damn this shit is wild.
wow.
G*Mitch aka Slavename
I was playing tetris when i should have been studying and was listening to these in the background. These gotta be sampled and put into an album, hopefully mine, ASAP. Wow how bout the one way back when talking about black people living in a police state and how police are allowed to kill black people…hmmm. way back when is way right now too.
They’ve had their professional liars for so damn long! A whole history of Bill O’Reilly’s!
The criminalization of the black person:
Who Are You? Slavename?

Brotha Malcolm got mad funnies man.
Sometimes I forget to think about how got-damn important he was and still is. I never really forget, but then listening to all these clips just reminds me why his life has affected mine so much. These clips are so relevant 45, 50 years later. wow. that’s a long ass time, but then again it’s short in terms of his/her/ourstory. Thanks to whoever put these on youtube.
Slavename.
Man, anybody who appreciates Cee-Lo will love this interview. I just read it the other night and I think it’s the best interview of him I’ve read since they started up the whole Gnarls Barkley phenomenon. Indubitably.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Got Damn I hate this fuckin country and it’s corporations! Fuck whoever persuaded this muhfucka to change his album title!
NIGGER was supposed to be the name of the album, and according to allhiphop.com, it aint going to be no more. What the fuck man. Jay Z had called the NIGGER title “misguided”…fuck that. I thought the title was powerful.
I’m sorry, I just had to vent because I was looking forward to the impact of this album and it’s title, and now i feel like it has been lessened.
This is my vent I may return with a longer more intellectually thought out post with pictures and videos and links and shit, but right now I’m just like Fuck this bullshit!
Peace,
Slavename.
Ya’ll heard/saw the footage of Bill o’reily flippin out on inside edition back in the day right. If not, here.
Someone flipped his flipping out and made this shit and i was hella laughin at it. haha. i’ve watched this shit like 10 times already.
shit is funny, aw man.
peace.
“The Amerikan way of life is simply not sustainable, because it doesn’t acknowledge that there is a world beyond Amerika.” ~Arundhati Roy
The wars that Amerika has been engaged in have lasted so long that they no longer even make the front pages of newspapers. Media uses these wars and occupations as political rhetoric and analyze (as if they were qualified) and discuss where presidential hopefuls should align themselves in order to obtain popular votes and argue about how they can get the muhfuckin’ “super”delegates on their side. Simultaneously thousands of troops have died, tens of thousands more have suffered injury, thousands of Iraqi civilians have died and been injured, families on both sides destroyed, and our militaries mere presence in Iraq and Afghanistan provide Al-Qaeda and other insurgent groups with ever-increasing recruitment numbers. Young Iraqis have grown up and are growing up in an occupied country and live under martial law. They have suffered through bombings, firing squads, air strikes, missile launchings, and a whole lot of other terrible shit that I don’t know enough to speak on.
What War Brings
They grow up on that while our youth grow up playing the video game versions of these wars as if they are not framed within the context of some of the most unjust and unfounded wars in history, and we all are becoming increasingly desensitized to death and dying and killing as we are fed numbers and statistics and lies.
I stayed up until 2 watching C-Span last night because there was a panel of 5 veterans of the war in Iraq reading their testimonials as to why they now actively oppose the war and work to end it and bring the rest of the troops back home. They were all part of the organization Iraq Veterans Against the War. The panel was put together by the Congressional Progressive Caucus to hear the experience of members of Iraq Veterans Against the War. Congresswomyn Barbara Lee and Lynn Woolsey are the co-chairs of the caucus which aims to “give voice to the needs and aspirations of all Americans and to build a more just and humane society.” Watching this panel I could just see how fucked up one of the speakers was with post traumatic stress syndrome, you could see him flashing back while he was reading about what the military was doing when he was in Iraq. It was powerful to see 5 marines who served tours of duty speaking on why they have since become some of the biggest anti-war activists.
At this point the war in Iraq, which so many of us knew was an unjust war to begin with- solely based upon power and control of the worlds oil supply- is nothing more than a farce and disgrace to the global community. Thousands have been killed and Amerikan media has been ordered not to show the people what this war actually looks like: These pictures are INCREDIBLY HORRIFIC, some of the worst I’ve ever seen, but this is what “our” country is doing right now.
End all Amerikan invasions and occupations now!
Peace,
G-Mitch
I had a dream with this song being played in it last night. This song was one of those songs that put me on to rock music when I was younger. Back when rock was still tight. I dare someone to put me up on some good current rock music…
Video is crazy, love that shit.
Gescard Isnora, Marc Cooper, and Michael Oliver at a press conference last week, some time after hearing their “not guilty” verdict.
So it’s been about a week since the not-guilty verdict came down from the judge in the case of Sean Bell’s murder.
3 police go free for killing an African- American male and seriously wounding two others. Wednesday hundreds of people in New York blocked rush-hour traffic in protest of the police aquittals. There were at least 216 arrests.
Even Al got arrested.
Meanwhile, here is footage of what’s happening in Philly right now. (No wonder these Philly rappers are so heated right now). I’m sure this ain’t the only reason of course. Fuck.
These men have already been characterized as “murderers” by the Philadelphia police Commissioner. So they are made to be guilty already. No proof. Stereotypes, racism, criminalizing the victim(s), this is always how it happens. Police departments and the media have been doing this for centuries now. It’s a science. Making the victim the perpetrator and the perpetrator the victim and you have a spun story…
Not to mention the wrongful police killings of Gary King Jr. and Anita Gay by Oakland and Berkeley Police officers in the past 8 months. Nor does it include the beating of Michael Fykes by Cleveland police. No matter where you look it’s happening. Police beating, detaining, killing, unjustifiably justified. Sometimes they have video which makes people appalled so they gasp and say that shouldn’t happen, but it does. And it never stops really. Whether it’s 1 shot or 51 shots. Whether it’s 1 cop or 14 beating three people.
We also currently have over 2 million people incarcerated in the US right now, that figure does not include those under house arrest, on papers, etc. ICE is going crazy arresting, detaining, and deporting (peep the post right before this one). Amerika is a POLICE STATE, don’t get it twisted.
Fed the fuck up.
