I Should Be Ashamed of Myself: Starring Consequence

Listen I am from the old school, so I don’t care for senseless beef, especially if it is undercooked. And your boy Consequence is serving exactly that, bullsh*t. Even though I help run this site, I don’t follow every rapper and his/her going on’s. Sometimes things slip right past me. But when Consequence’s blip turned up on my radar, I had to see what the fuss was about. And it sounds like homie is mad at G.O.O.D. Music, especially Kanye West and Pusha T.

So the question I have is why you mad Cons? You feel like you should be put on more than you already have? They stealing your cool over at office G.O.O.D. Music? Or is it just that time of the month? You don’t have anything better to do with your rhymes? Dog I first heard of you in 94 on the A Tribe Called Quest b-side to Award Tour. You had your own SONG on A Tribe Called Quest release!! Do you know how big that was? Then when Phife started to come up missing, Q-Tip brought you into the fold on Beats, Rhymes and Life. That was around 96 wasn’t it? Way before we heard of a Kanye West or a Pusha T, or anybody that they know.

I bring that up because you had multiple opportunities to shine, and for whatever reason you dropped the ball. Fumble fingers looking… It ain’t Pusha T fault, it ain’t Kanye West fault, it ain’t Q-Tip fault, it ain’t Jarobi fault, it ain’t… well you get the idea. Cons you sounding like an ole scorned lover or some shit! What Tupac say, “Ninjas looking like Larry Holmes, flabby and sick!”

Rhymefest hit the shit right on the head.

KANYE and I been speaking lately it interesting I see people who think he owes them stuff. I never understood letting another human have control over your success or failure in life. My brotherhood with Ye is based in the fact I don’t beg or expect more then his friendship good convo and the exchange of ideas. We bounce rhymes and music off each other and debate the world and its peace.

But as far as Kanye and his real homies notice that none of the guys he started with from Chicago talk shit about him. None of us. Chicago Cats understand playing your position and organizational structure. We know that every man is responsible for his/her actions.

Now Consequence shut up and wait to Watch The Throne!!

Consequence brought the whole label through (minus Mr. Hudson) for this remix! What you think Moguls?

G.O.A.T.’s- Greatest Voices of…..

I didn’t have the privilege of growing up in an environment where my likes and dislikes in music were predetermined and spoon fed. There was no way you could be an 80′s child without being exposed to multiple genre’s of music. The radio was dominated by pop/rock, my household was filled with Motown oldies, funk, R&B; and my friends and I were slowly trying to make room in the world for Hip Hop. Somewhere along the way,  I developed an appreciation for all good music. I made no excuses for what I liked, explored all curiosity, and made up my own mind.

Along the way, I developed an affinity for the “pure voice“. You know what I’m talkin’ about. Those rare artists that had voices so pure and powerful that they could raise the hair on your arms without music, without a mic, and seemingly, without effort. One such voice graced the Rock genre as the frontman for a popular band…..called Journey. Always a favorite of mine, I was recently reminded of the truth in his voice while visiting an urban middle school. Thanks to one of Journey’s hit songs being featured in the media campaign for a new TV pilot, this younger generation had been introduced my childhood. While standing in the hall as the students, predominantly Hispanic and African-American, dismissed for the end of the day, my ears were drawn to the sound of an 8th grade boy shamelessly breaking into song….”just a small town girl, livin’ in a lonely world”! It seemed so out-of-place at the time. I approached the young man and asked him, “What do you know about Steve Perry?”. The boy laughed and replied, “Who?”. Reality check.

I went on to explain to him that the song he was singing was performed by one of the greatest frontmen in history! Not buying into my enthusiasm, he wrinkled his knows, went on his way, and began singing again….”don’t stop, believin’”. The other students never batted an eye, and no one noticed my disappointment.
