WEBACK! Sorry for the 2 or so day absence. Both isodope and I went to the inauguration, and things have been sort of hectic with midterms coming up. Don’t worry though, were getting back on track though, with “Nobody Eats But Me”. Bump J delivers, and with Kanye producing, AND John Legend (who I dapped in DC) , you honestly can’t go wrong. Give it a listen.

PRESIDENT BARACK: Thank you. Thank you.
CROWD: Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama!
My fellow citizens: I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors.
I thank President Bush for his service to our nation…
… as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.
Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath.
The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents.

(Left To Right) Bun B, Wale, 9th Wonder
We had nothing to do on Monday, so we began searching for a show or something in DC. And what do we stumble upon, a FREE show, all ages. I was buggin out again!
So we get there hella early, and wait on line (By the way it’s at a Stussy Store in DC) in the cold. As 6 o’clock approaches a guy comes out asking for ID (We are first in Line). My heart dropped, I was about to go crazy, but then he just wrote an X on my hand and we were straight. We walk in and we’re posted up at the front counter and the guy on the 1’s and 2’s is pretty good, so I turned to my friend and say “This guys a pretty good DJ”.
Soon we see Bun B walk through the front door and right by, and in 10 minutes we see Wale in an Ice Cream Hoodie roll through. And climb behind the counter. Soon enough the DJ starts blasting some bangers, and gets some heads bobbing. Eventully since no one is performing people start giving in stuff to sign. We see the Dj sign something,, and it says 9th wonder! At this point I get really mad, because I have been standing 1 foot from this head and not noticed at all. Anyways…People submit more and more, but I dont have shit to get signed, so I reach into my pockets and I find my metro ticket (YERP). Bun B signs it, and so does 9th Wonder. I dap 9th wonder, and later shake Bun’s hand. But then for some reason Wale dips, and So do we, seeing that there is no performing happening tonight.
We go out and fin something to eat, and decide to go back and see what’s up. I go up to the Window at Stussy’s and I look right next to me and Bun B is cooling right there. Apparently he remembered me and Daps me (I didn’t dap him, he dapped me) and we have a few minute conversation, and ask him when he’s comin to Jersey. He said “I wish I could get booked in Jersey”, (Someone…get on that). And I dap him get a picture, and he tells me to be safe. So we didn’t get to see a show, but I got to meet some cool people, Especially Bun who was a really nice guy.
So now it’s about 11:30 and we’re getting ready for the Innaguration, You souped?!?!?!?…I am! Look for me on tv son….

Before Saturday afternoon, I had no idea that I would be here, in DC, for one of the most important events in American History. Early saturday afternoon I got a message from a friend saying that his friend had a spot in his car, and I was welcome. I wasn’t happy, nor excited…I was fucking buggin out son!
Anyways, after a car ride in which every station played “Brooklyn Go Hard” like 17 times, and no traffic we arrived at our other friends aunts house (Coolest family ever). We decided we would go to the “We Are One” Concert at the national mall. We got there, and after walking through thousands of people, while Military helicopters were what felt like right above our heads.
So after wading through the crowds, we found the most open spot and cooled out. And watched the great show, here was the best performance.
Not to mention Our Presidents Speech….We Goin in!!!!!

Tonight, i’m up writing a 6 page script on NOTHING. I was assigned this in Filmmaking class, and i’m not feeling this assignment at all, and I believe I speak for everyone when I say “F this waste of time”. SO I thought of the worst possibly script that I could. Basically the story is about a black teenager going in on a beautiful girl in the basement of a Y.M.C.A. Haha. But anyways here’s what will keep me up tonight:
Rooftop – Curren$y featuring Boo
Can’t Wait – Nero
Bulletproof (Remx) – Raheem DeVaughn featuring Ludacris
(More after jump…)
I was a little scared for Juelz when I saw him pouring champagne on a bunch of dudes….but this is a smooth comeback

I really like this. Mary and Jamie’s voice goes perfectly with this track. The beat sort of reminds me of “Lost Ones”-which is a good thing. Busta and Common have that usual smoothness in their voice. As for Blame it.…ughh. I can see it as a club banger, but the only reason I would put it on my Ipod, is to bump in a big ass escalade, witha buncha bitches. Self explanatory.
Blame It [Remix] – Jamie Foxx Featuring T-Pain, Busta Rhymes & Lil’ Wayne
Decision – Busta Rhymes Featuring Mary J Blige, Jamie Foxx, Common & John Legend

I usually don’t vibe with the beef shit, but if there’s one positive part of beef, is the production of dope diss tracks. This time it’s from Joe Budden. I’m just waiting for Saigon’s response.

A flight went down 3 minutes after take off (3:03) into the Hudson river, no casualties however, apparently they hit a flock of birds… damn , Live coverage at MSNBC
Wyclef dropping a different sound, with the same type of socially conscious rhetoric that is Wyclef Jean. Not a bad mix of two sides of the spectrum.
“War on our hands” – Wyclef Jean (prod. Timbaland)
Fresh from the sink, two new songs from the U-N-I camp. “Monster” is a track from upcoming mixtape Before There Was Love mixtape, and “Windows” is lil’ snip snip from their upcoming album A Love Supreme.
Damn, how you go from that to this. Nice beat, but I would never rate this song more then 3 stars because Ron Brownz voice is annoying as shit.
Jumping Out The Window [Remix] – Memphis Bleek and Ron Brownz
