These are not all albums that came out in 2010, but they are albums and mix-tapes that i have rocked the hell out of this past year. I listen to a lot of music and buy a lot, these are a list of albums i highly recommend everyone picking up. I have a lot more music i purchased or was given to me in the past year, but these are all albums i can make strong recommendation.
I can list singles, but at the same time, thats what has gotten us into the mess we are in right now with the recording industry. Everyone wants ish for free, but when it comes time to pony up cash for shows, or even at the least $10 for an entire album which you own for ever, yall get shy. Ten bucks to own some art that is yours forever is really cheap, and helps keep new artists coming up.
I am a huge supporter of the arts & especially music. I'm even taking the time to link you to where to download the mix-tapes, and in me doing so, when you hear that they are in your town, or you hear they are dropping something on iTunes, do them and yourself a huge favor.
Buy there art. By putting our money where our complaining mouths are, we will start to see a change in music production. Because if we fans don't start taking responsibility for the music we want to hear in a monetary fashion and keep supporting wackness when a video comes on and bootlegging art you continue to be the problem.
The radio has never had balance, and it still doesn't, nor will it ever. The only thing you can do is control the art you consume, and to be honest, I've never been one for the Radio. Most of the things i listen to aren't really played on the local airwaves. Never-the-less here is my music list of this year. also, in no particular order.
P.S. Guess what, you can find the other 9 non-free LP's on itunes, $90 well spent i say!

The Year of the Tick & The Life of a Grasshopper.
I would love to have some words of wisdom for this year’s end, but I would really like to write a nasty and mean spirited note. I've wanted to say a whole lot of go eff yourselves to a large number of people this past year more than ever recorded in my personal history.
The one common thread amongst all of those people is that they are Ticks. Ticks have a way of attaching themselves to you. You don't mind so much because it seems insignificant because they are so small and only 1.
After a time you notice that you have 3 then 9 then 11 then 35, yet you don't mind because you pull them off with tweezers. Then you finally notice that you have 77 Ticks on you, you rid yourself of them, you initially feel better, but that fades after three days. Then you notice after that third day that you are extremely ill, and the people you once considered friends, are no longer there.
You end up realizing that with the one, two and third tick it was not much, but it wasn't until after they drained you that it became serious. I've dealt with so many Ticks in the past year to date, that I have had to learn a valuable lesson. I'm staying out of certain forests.
The Tropical Rain Forest looks great on video, pictures and print. Yet in reality, it’s the Ticks and alike that will kill you. No big monsters in the Tropical Rain Forest, yet everyone who is in that forest is all infected by the same bug, that is no longer for I.
I’ve been wanting Ticks stop being Ticks, but alas. A Tick shall be nothing more than a Tick, and I am a fool for thinking that it should be something more, because it is not possible. If you’re a Tick, be the best tick possible. If you’re a Grasshopper, be the best Grasshopper possible.
Me, I need to stop being naive and accept what I see, and then move on from there. We all can’t be grasshoppers, and I should stop assuming that Ticks would want to aspire to be more than that, because someone out there would love for me to be a Tarantula, and all I can be is a Grasshopper.

Why I don't support Rhymefest for City Council...
Che Smith is a personal friend of mine, but in all honesty I don't know Rhymefest better than any of my other hip-hop heads and artist that have performed with him. I've met Rhymefest on a few occasions, I think one time I even performed with him, bought a few of his albums, but the one thing that remains. I fully support Che "Rhymefest" Smith for 20th Ward City Council.
I support this particular City Council run like my life depends on it, because in all honesty, our future is at stake. As I've been more involved in this process, the more people I talk to the more I understand why people avoid politics all together.
People don't want to get hurt in the entire electoral process. This country does revere its right to vote, they are just afraid to take a stand and be part of process that is lengthy and filled many cul-de-sacs. Also with the fact that, it won't be an instant turn around, and that it can take years to accomplish ones single solitary mission.
I just want to let all of you know, we must not wait any longer to get involved in the political process or just the process of life. None of us are getting any younger. Where will you be in 25 years? 2 years from now what do you have planned?
If we never looked into the future to see where we are going, we will be ship wrecked and stranded hoping someone will come to our rescue, only to find out, we had the life raft with us all along and we just stayed on a lonely island wishing and dreaming our life away of being saved.
I know for a fact i have a very strong and talented group of people around me. I have family & friends that are Ordained Pastors, Doctors, Musicians, Electricians, Mechanics, Politicians, Business Owners, Teachers, Pre-Med Students, Nurses, Air Force Pilots, Marines, Lt. Col. in the Army, Professional Athletes, Construction Workers, Barbers, Humanitarians, Philanthropists, Factory Employees, Husbands, Wives, Parents, Single Parents, Students and that is just a touch of who we are.
We are strong, and we are a great group of men and women. We just need to take more responsibility in our own lives and also for those that are around us. If we don't start being more proactive in our lives, we will forever be left waiting our lives away for our ship to come.
I'm asking all of my friends, twitter followers, fans of Rhymefest (huge fan of that guy! lol), high school friends, family members, congregation members, old co-workers, over seas friends, lets please start looking forward, and stop being Captain Hindsight to all of our local, county, state, federal and world ills. Lets be more proactive and responsible.
Our message is simple: February 22nd, 2011 It's a call to action, It's a call for Personal Responsibility.
"We are not trying to reinvent the wheel, We're just reinstating it." (c) Che "Rhymefest" Smith

Reality TV and You!!!!!!!!
I've been wondering this for a while, why is reality TV so interesting? between all the mix of perverse shit out there, i mean why partake in the dysfunction and exploitation of them. Most people that watch those shows end up saying "when i watch Hoarders i don't feel so bad about my nasty ass house and being lazy, i'm not that bad." or "When I watch the Kardashians i come away feeling like i have an almost at grade level education"
It just bothers me that people use this is a reason to say, "hey i'm fucked up, but those people on Intervention are way more of a Junkie than me" Then you might be the same dumbass in the same sentence to utter "but who am i to judge?" ooooohhh oohhh i know i know pick me!!! its me, and whole group of people who judge people. they even make careers out of it. They are called Bosses, Pastors, Priest, Business Owners, Teachers, Principles, Judges, Lawyers, Jurors, Fans, Consumers, etc...you know all of society, you idiot.
Its okay to judge people and call people what ever you want, you just better have the same approach as if when you see them face to face, Reality TV is some of the dumbest damn programming in the world, when you give the reigns over to complete normal people to make a reality tv show you get youtube, when you give it to professionals full creative reigns you get Jackass, trained professionals that get paid to get hurt. Not amateurs that get paid to be naturally stupid.
Making spectacle of how people actually live in day to day environments "Survivor". Enjoying people who are just horrible at life "Jersey Shore, Real World". Gloating at horrible dysfunction and severe mental depression and shitty lives "Dog The Bounty Hunter, Intervention, Hoarders". The fact that animals mean more to people in our country then the homeless, katrina refugees, 911 victims and workers "Dog Whisper, Whale Wars".
I don't need to watch television to make fun of people, i do that every day i wake and have to look at a slobbish person and have to smell their dragon ass breath, i spray them with some axe body spray in the face, throw a tic-tac in there stupid flesh hole they call a mouth and give them $4.50 and ticket for a truck stop bath. <<< Now that i would watch on TV! I haven't seen a show on television as entertaining as that last Scenario since 2003 with the Chappelle show.
TV really needs to be roughly scripted, shit even RENO 911 had loose scripts they follow, Jackass had loose scripts that they followed, they had one good idea and followed through on it. All of these almost would be Reali-Comedies make me hate the living shit out of shows like the Office, and to top it off, that started in fucking England!!!! dammit!!!! the last time there was Comedy worth keeping around it got thwarted...Cavemen. Yes that whole Geico spin off was actually great writing and good acting. but no, you need Snooky and other dumbos to fill your tard-line.
How these people got to be celebrities is beyond me, it used to be that Celebrities were interesting and rare, now all you need is a fat ass, some great abs, and the ability to not have any talent and you to can be an entertainer, because you can entertain us with the fact that you are really stupid, the only people more stupid than you Reality TV stars are the people who support you.

That White Man Is Racist! Jessies Jacksons Greatest Hits Album.
I've been sitting on this thought for a really long time now, and i think over the last so many years i've grown tired of his antics. I mean calling every Tom, Dick and Harry Racist is offensive. Its degrading and deplorable. Its really offensive to real racists.
Real Racist work waaaaaaaaay to hard to be racist, to just call someone you disagree with racist. I mean, Every year or two Jessie has to pop up and say, Hey out of Touch White Man!!! You're RACIST!!!!! and normally i let it slide, but this time he went a little too far.
Jessie calling a business owner a Slave Owner is just retarded. Jessie has as much in common with Don Imus in regards with dealing with the struggles with the black community. No matter what the occasion Jessie could be talking about an amazing Chicken Cobb Salad, and i know he would be waiting to call the salad racist for the reason it has chicken in it.
PUSH is based in Chicago, but i have yet to see them really do much. Ideologically i am at odds with The Nation Of Islam, for the fact that i have been called the White Devil more times then i care to talk about, but at the same time, NOI and Farrakhan do so much for the east side of Chicago, i will take it with a grain of Salt. Jessie does a lot for Jessie.
Jessie got a chance to run for President back in like the 80's or something, then when Obama really had a chance of winning, Jessie had to stick his head out and say some dumb shit, it's like with him the dumb ass verbal hits just keep on coming. Out of touch, out of energy, out of credit, so now its free for all to call all white men racist.
Give me a break Jessie, i am tired of your Greatest Hits Album, I mean, you really are the GOAT of calling out of touch people racist. No one calls nothing like you do, i mean, the fact that you have a few kids outside of your marriage is touching. I am still waiting for you to STFU.
I'm pretty sure, you had a message back in the day, when racism was as clear as White Only and Black Only drinking fountains, but unfortunately you are blast from the past, sounding like a washed up Emcee who is bitter that, new people have come in, and started something different, you sit in the back and say, "No one calls an out of touch white man racist like i did"
And for that, i say, Please sit down and stop embarrassing your legacy, you did a lot for the civil rights movement 50 years ago, but in the last 25 years, no one but people getting paid by being around you are taking you seriously.
Sincerely,
Icy Mike
P.S. Fuck Mel Gibson, but i have hated him since the Passion. That shit was disgusting, but i guess, Jessie didn't have time for that as well, so he went for the completely stupid Dan Gilbert shot. sheesh, talk about missing a golden opportunity for an addition to the Greatest Hits Album.

Every time Eminem drops an album.......
Why do i have to become the official spokes person for his music? when truth be told, i really don't enjoy his music, i like his raps on occasion, is he one of the greatest, yes. do i buy his music the day it drops, not a chance in hell. People from back home ruined that shit.
When you listen to people say they don't listen to "black rap" and all they listen to is Eminem and ICP, and the real thing is, that turned me off to his music completely. After hearing that more then fifty-eleven times, i said peace out to his music. I only gave it another shot coming to Chicago.
One thing i really get mad at is when any a-hole writes a review about a hip-hop CD they immediately throw out that the rappers are misogynistic and homophobic, when realistically that is a pretty subliminal racist statement. Black males have always had to fight this image of being Violent, Overly Sexed, and Homophobic. So, when they are throwing that knee jerk hip-hop pejorative around, i don't miss that for a second.
I have a lot of black friends who just don't like to be around Gay people, and have everyday struggles with women and the mothers of there children, but Only with white people have i heard of them openly talking about lynching gays, and being proud of slapping women. Em talks about both of those things with supreme microphone skills.
Eminem has set the bar for Misogynistic rap, shit he has killed and raped so many women on his albums, how do people keep buying it? but T-Pain admiring strippers is an abomination? ya'll got it twisted. Em clearly has so many issues with Women, its amazing that women buy his albums. But, it's all right cuz he's all white with ya'll. lol!
I get tired of people thinking thats how i ride is with Em, truth be told, i have never paid full price for any of his music, he's an artist that i would steal off the internet, his albums don't excite me. They excite me as much as Rakim and Nas, super lyrical but outside of that, meh. I don't even defend his art, its in defensible.
Realistically, I look at Em the same way as BET, they are both minstrel shows in there own right. I was repping hip-hop back when i first heard the Beastie Boys back when i was 6 years old. Those dudes are the just hip-hop, no one ever gave a shit that they are Jewish/White, they just made ill music.
Making great music is all i ever care about, honestly, lyrics are one of the last things i ever pay attention too. when your lyrics are the only focus on a track, you should have done a spoken word album, your voice should blend in the music and just exist with part of it, and not be all of the track.
All i ever care about in music is that you make music for my soul, Eminem does not make music for my soul, there is only one song of his i can play over and over, The Way I Am. Because truth be told, I am what ever you say I am. If i wasn't, then why would I say i am? The news, the paper, every day i am. I don't know, thats just the way i am. I couldn't agree more with Em.
So please stop asking me to review his albums already, next review will be Curren$y, Jet Life fool!!!!

Em clearly has so many issues with Women, its amazing that women buy his albums. But, it's all right cuz he's all white with ya'll. lol!
I get tired of people thinking thats how i ride is with Em, truth be told, i have never paid full price for any of his music, he's an artist that i would steal off the internet, his albums don't excite me. They excite me as much as Rakim and Nas, super lyrical but outside of that, meh. I don't even defend his art, its in defensible.
Realistically, I look at Em the same way as BET, they are both minstrel shows in there own right. I was repping hip-hop back when i first heard the Beastie Boys back when i was 6 years old. Those dudes are the just hip-hop, no one ever gave a shit that they are Jewish/White, they just made ill music.
Making great music is all i ever care about, honestly, lyrics are one of the last things i ever pay attention too. when your lyrics are the only focus on a track, you should have done a spoken word album, your voice should blend in the music and just exist with part of it, and not be all of the track.
All i ever care about in music is that you make music for my soul, Eminem does not make music for my soul, there is only one song of his i can play over and over, The Way I Am. Because truth be told, I am what ever you say I am. If i wasn't, then why would I say i am? The news, the paper, every day i am. I don't know, thats just the way i am. I couldn't agree more with Em.
So please stop asking me to review his albums already, next review will be Curren$y, Jet Life fool!!!!

Twitter=Time Waste Matrix
Well, Several months of solid Twitter at least 6 or 7 at least and let me tell you what i have gained from Twitter..............Actually, i haven't decided if ChatRoulette's endless supply of masturbating people or if twitter is worse. Actually i have, and it is Twitter.
Twitter is one of those things where you have to ask yourself, why? I mean really, why? Why does it exist? Does it exist as a medium for artist to get to know fans, or fans to get to know artists, or people to get to know people, artists to get to know artists, i believe its all of that, but in actuality, don't be anything other then those stated.
I have lost a great deal of respect for artists i once admired, and the fans and other artists surrounding them. I can only think of one time when twitter was useful, but, that would have happened in a natural time parameter anyway. I meet people in a very organic way, and stay connected with them. but, back to twitter.
Twitter is this messed up digital world of hipsters, twitter thugs, emo kids, artists, twitter vixens, and a lot of desperate people. If i follow anyone on twitter, chances are I know you in person. I learned my lessons about following people i admired from a distance. Here's looking at you Jane Doe.
Its a sick universe and a lot of people on twitter need to see a psychologist. The tweets are those of sadness, desperation, cries for attention and just overall lonely and unhappiness. only a small handful of people ever say anything important on there, I only occasionally say something somewhat intelligent.
I got onto twitter back in oct 2008 and didn't touch it because i thought it was really self enveloped, and really quite lame, then i had some friends talk me into using it, and i did, i have been using it solidly since dec of 2009, and i have literally only gained Two solid business contacts, and like i said, one of them would have happened naturally.
Its the time waste aspect that is the worst, you end up sounding like a lame ass when you talk about what @picklesandfries ReTweeted aka RT talking about how if you follow this Trending Topic it will get you to a new level of Douche, and @picklesandfries is right. Most people on there are sad, uninteresting, aggressive, ignorant and just overall idiots, trust me i am in that mix more often then not.
There are some people on twitter that make it amazing and a learning experience, but those literally make up only like 10% of the tweets. The other 90% is just self absorbed idiocracy and just overall stupid useless and heartless shit.
Its worse than ChatRoulette, at least with that you know exactly what you are getting, some dude masturbating, some dude about to start masturbating, some pervert looking to masturbate, or someone actually looking for conversation and the later makes up 10% and that is a cool 10%, at least you can skip over the other 90% of bullshit.
Thats how i approach everyone in my life, a lot of my friends and extended family are through some awesomely divine style of meeting, various jobs of mine, odd situations of how we met, but one thing that remains, we always know one person along our awesome long journey. But, Twitter NEVER has that impact. EVER. and by EVER. I MEAN. EVER.
It's all in good fun i suppose until you realize some people tweet hard and do there best to upset feelings, and just overall are looking to be a Hipster Tweet Thug Disciple from Bucktown, but fail to realize that they can get there retweet deleted real quick. don't get cute and get caught in lies, its not pretty.
My Name is @IcyMike on Twitter. and i am calling for Death Of Twitter, start learning to craft a thought above 140 characters and please stop using twitlonger, that shit is infuriating, click on a link to read your unimportant high/drunk/coked up tweet, no thank you. So glad SpringBoard is dead, that was literally more faggish than twitter by a mere 10 million penis in your mouth.
Sincerely,
Icy Mike

Dear Pullman Part Deux
Yes Wal-Mart passed through, with absolutely no real thanks to our neighborhood. People gloating about being a scourge of inaction and thwarting progress, I'm sure the people who helped save this neighborhood look at you as absolute fools.
Some people in the neighborhood would be happy with absolutely nothing, just for the solid reason it is not exactly what they want, even though, exactly what they need is willing to post up in our back yard.
I am disgusted continuously to listen to some peoples inane diatribes about stopping progress, if a WalMart wants to be in our back yard, Great. So they want to pay workers minimum wage, who cares, I know young men and women that would love A job that Older People are not taking from them.
A good majority of people that live in this neighborhood forget that there are some seriously ravaged areas of the city, the type of stuff you watch documentaries on from netflix. I am out in these areas working hands on. Lets call a spade a spade here, if you are opposing WalMart, you have never been broke.
If any of you have ever experienced what people experience in these areas you would want to get out as soon as you get the chance, the only problem is, the odds are stacked completely against you doing so, trust me. I am a rarity of my environment.
If all we ever do is whine about progress, and stop it when its in our hands, we might as well be dead. For a lot of the people i talk to, i am disgusted that i share this gorgeous neighborhood with you.
You act like you're an Elite, when in actuality you bought in this neighborhood for the same reasons my wife and i did, its affordable and nice enough, never mind that last night i just heard a continuous barrage of hand gun fire.
So, You can pretend like nothing needs to change or we can actually have the chance to have some real direct change, and trust me, things cannot get worse around here, we already have a gang in the neighborhood that keeps us safe.
So, what i am really saying is, if you were against WalMart from the moment you found out it was coming, please put your money where your mouth is, Sell your property, move to Bucktown (they love your hipster mentality) and Go Shop At Whole Foods. Some of you disgust me to a degree i didn't even know possible.
Sincerely
Michael P Bliss 7735595774
p.s. if you feel like i am talking about you, i am, call me and we can have a beer, and i will say the same things.

How I Got Over
Literally, This Album presents Hip-Hop at a full converge of what the genre is really all about, its not about fruity loops, samples, boom baps or anything akin to that, even tho, it is laden with some of those parts of the art. This shows you the blues base of which the art was birthed from.
This presents The Roots as a Band, in which they are, all of the members are an intricate part of the art. Hip-hop has grown tiresome at times, too many rappers and not enough MC's. I tell people that Black Thought is hip hops last great MC that is commercially relevant, and they scoff and argue, but i ask them if they have seen Black Thought live, and if not, i tell them to keep quiet.
Rappers rap and thats it. MC's Move The Crowd and are true Microphone Controllers. Rappers focus on pure words for the sake of words. MC's blend in with the music and are just part of it. A symbiotic relationship of sound notes and words. Rappers stay beating a beat to death with words, no style, no charisma.
I love it when words become secondary to the sound of a band, words should only enhance a score of music, everyone on here, is literally just a sonic treat to have on the album, no one feels out of place, the way the album is set up is perfect, This is as much of a treat as J.Dilla's Donuts. Nothing forced, just getting back to the roots of the culture.
I've been rocking out to The Roots hardcore since 1997, i have had the extreme pleasure of seeing them perform twice in Chicago, if you have never been to a Roots show, your life is missing out on the greatest live performing band out touring, period. They are the hardest working no ego artists out there. Check there work ethic, its impeccable and you will see them rocking out 35 years from now.
How I Got Over proves itself as one of the most beautiful pieces of art that has come through in a long time. If this would be your first Roots album purchase or your 11th, you can enjoy exactly what this album is, for what it is right now, you will play this album 15 years from now, and see all the live performing rap acts and see where it was birthed, a culture in the blues.
Over all thoughts of How I Got Over, buy a copy and then go see them when they are in a town near you, worth ever bit of money and time.

The OJ Simpson Disorder.
This is one of things i have been mulling on for some time, is peoples relative craze about whether or not OJ Simpson murdered Nicole Brown-Simpson. I even asked the homie Rhymefest if he did do it and if it mattered. Rhymefest said "it doesn't matter at all." and he is right.
It doesn't matter at all or not, because all that is for sure, is that those two kids are going to be scarred for life. Victims of domestic violence and having a mother that was brutally slain.
So, everyone can keep up the racist diatribes on either side thinking that they are having a real conversation, because like most issues, most of you are missing the point. These are some kids that have been victims of domestic violence, but you like to make spectacle out of someone else's flaws.
Domestic violence is real, and it is horrible. Everyone cracks jokes about what they would do in this scenario, but most have never been victims of domestic violence.
It's easy to dissect celebrities lives, because most never take the time to look at there own. I personally don't care about celebrities coke sniffing habits and things of that nature, but don't ever fail to miss a valuable lesson when one is being given at a great cost.
I would say a lot of people i know have missed this lesson. Some actually blame Nicole Browns family for her being murdered, regardless of who did it. Claiming it was a set up, instead of realizing, that there two kids no longer have there mom and dad. Congrats people for keeping the inane racist diatribe and not being human.
Because, it really doesn't matter if OJ did it or not...in so many different ways.

Fish Market Part 2
All i can say about this album is that it is a great example of what a mixtape can be. If the art is dope enough, why not sell it? Thats what Chali 2na has done.
I've been a fan of Chali's work since the Jurassic 5 EP in what i believe was 98 or 99. He is perfect example of making rhyming seem so easy, he's just effortless cool with the flow.
He's definitely the James Earl Jones of the rhyming world. This is one of the first solo projects i have picked up from Chali in a very good while. He's been rapping for a looong time and always blessing us with good art.
It's crazy that more people never really got on board with J5 and moreover Chali. He's one of many artist that is crazy successful with 0 ego.
I think i found my new Cigar smoking and comic book reading album. This album is very much me. Effortless cool and effortless style. You just feel good listening to this album...i need a cigar now.
Chali shows that you should never be afraid to go against the grain of the industry. He's been putting on classic material for over 12 years. so, my question is...where have you been? Sleeping and Bullshitting.
Total analysis, but 3 and pass two, it will not burn you.

El Che Album Review
I've listened to this album 5 times through already since Midnight. I'm going to go ahead and say it is a beautiful example of a moment in time, that i can rediscover everytime i listen to it. In more simple terms...Classic.
Sometimes when an artist has what is perceived to be a large gap in putting out an album there can be a lot of hear say of why. all i can say is, it was well worth the wait. Quality over quantity every day.
Sonically it is a treat. Verbally it is amazing. Everyone that features on this album is enhancement and an enjoyment. A lot of rappers could learn some very valuable lessons from this album.
Blue Collar is a classic, there are 5 songs on there that are hip hop staples. you can't say that about most albums 4 years removed. On El Che, there are 9 amazing songs. 1 of which is a song that i have thought of writing for years, but never was able to.
Fans are too fickle when it comes down to the art of hip-hop. They really don't know what they want to hear about, but in recent years, hip-hop has gotten to be NOT FUN. This is an album that you can think, laugh, dance, cry and just enjoy.
One of the more disturbing things i herd recently was that in order to be successful in hip-hop you don't want fans, you want consumers. That is where he is wrong. Fans travel from Toledo to Chicago to watch a performance. Consumers are just on to the next one.
Rhymefest has always been one of my personal favorite emcees over the last 5 years. He's an amazing song writter and he his words are classics. like he has said, you don't have to buy his album but his words are priceless. I agree. He also said recently Hotness cools, and Dopeness lasts.
If you are looking to be entertained then this is your album, fans need to stop being so serious. 98% of fans can't rap, write, dance, sing or even be entertaining. so just chill and support good art and stop analyzing everything.
Complete analysis, Buy Three copies, keep one and pass two on to help spread the love. Thats what i do.

The John Mayer Disease.......
I really thought I could avoid this, but i can't. It wouldn't be proper if i didn't address this. I HATE seeing things like this, it bothers me more then just the slip of a pejorative or even the Nappy Headed Hoe thing, this is waaaaaaay more deep then that. Those things you can say...."that white dude just called me a ****** welp. fuck em he's an idiot lets move forward." at least with that you KNOW WHERE THEY STAND FROM THE GET GO. it's in the spirit of all the way ONE HUNNED as it were.
It's another, to sit there and say your personal plight is akin to a COMPLETE STEREOTYPE of a very small portion of a race. DUDE, YOU ARE A BLUE EYED SOUL GUITAR PLAYER PLAYING THE BLUES!!!!!!!, what is wrong with you? that isn't cool. Why would you abuse your privilege of being able to unite people? that means, you are a bigger jerk then what i ever would have thought.
My plight is not greater then anyone else's, and in fact someone else's plight might be greater then anything i could ever imagine or have personally experienced. And my hat is off to you. *tips my NEW ERA fitted* you even fooled THIS WHITE guy. that shit is tough to do my dude, and you did it.
I grew up around HARDCORE racists, and to be honest they are better at being true to themselves then you are or could ever be. They will drop a pejorative at the drop of a hat and not think twice. You spoke your mind freely, and now that you did, you are reeling and dealing to get back to where i thought you might have been.
like my math teacher Mr. Lathrop always said, "mean what you say, and say what you mean" well my dude, you did just that, but now you look like more of an asshole retracting statements, instead of saying. "yeah i said it. could i have said it better, sure, but it doesn't take away from what i said" instead, you take that pussy PR approach and try to apologize for shit you said.
That ish was in an interview, a recorded interview for a printed publication. YOU GET A DUMBFUCK AWARD for that. if you are going to say COMPLETELY INSENSITIVE shit too a lot of people, large scale and INDIVIDUALISTIC, please have the spine to back up what you said.
Sir, you proved a great point in all of this, and unfortunately i don't think its one many would pick up on, right now, but your Faggy Hipster Fans are defending your Idiotic Hipster Logic in all of this shit. You are the true poster child to the HIPSTER movement. i have a personal personal motto for HIPSTERS......
Be Disingenuous To Thine Own Self.
you live up to that phrase more swimmingly now then you ever did before. sheesh, i didn't see it coming, i should have since a good portion of your fans are hipsters anyhow.
There is a saying that you gotta love yourself and that you can never play yourself, but guess what. you played yourself. with no credibility, sincerity or deference to anyone and including yourself, have a sad and lonely existence with all of the Hipsters of the world.
