Dose One vs. Reid Richards = WTF
Saturday, December 19th, 2009
So many WTFs about this confrontation. In the first video, the last twenty-seconds or so, it looks like this Reid Richards dude pulls a stun gun or an actual gat and points it at Dose’s face. I’ve never heard of Reid Richards until today, but he was almost the architect of the first art rap snuff film.
Exit question: Does anyone give a fuck about battling anymore? Even the more entertaining platforms like GrindTime grow stale with the swiftness.

Sole: You Broke My Mother Fucking Heart
Friday, December 18th, 2009
Intuition: “Damnit… sole is playing at low end theory tonight and i totally had a ‘hi employee’ sign made to take a picture with him but he politely refused. i swear to christ on a cross. i told him that he should just be a sport and laugh at himself just this once but he wasn’t having it. such is life.”
Intuition is my message board friend. Since I exist only on and see the world exclusively through the internet, I am forced to rely on random dispatches and cables regarding situations surrounding myself. And he had nothing to do with this post so please don’t throw tainted broccoli at him if you two ever cross paths. I will be deleting all digital copies of your music. This is in addition to allocating all physical copies of your music (irrespective of eBay value) to the garbage can department. To you, your Crocs, your prima donna revolution, I bid adieu.
To the rest of you kind folk, register at the PhilaFlava Forums and participate in the madness.

I asked Slug some questions about Deep Puddle Dynamics
Wednesday, December 16th, 2009
A hardscrabble investigative internet journalist can never be afraid to ask the painful questions. Put forth the challenging inquiries. Stare into the face of the cold truth. Get the answers. Let the dominoes fall as they should. Slug shines a spotlight on what happened with and the mechanics of the legendary quartet Deep Puddle Dynamics in this hard-hitting, in-depth interview.
Employee: DPD is widely regarded as a groundbreaking collaboration of the early internet rap gawdz. Was recording it awkward on any level or did it flow seamlessly in the studio?
Slug: i lost a close family member during the recording sessions. so i had to leave for 2 days during our 10 day session.
i wouldn’t say awkward, but we didn’t know what we were doing.
we had a lot of fun.
Employee: Post-DPD you started to noticeably distance yourself from Anticon as a whole. I’m not asking you to burn bridges or critically blast anyone. But why the effort to separate yourself from the Anticon collective?
Slug: dudes were younger than me, so it was hard to agree with a lot of the strong opinions that were floating around.
then, when i released godlovesugly and a few of those dudes started calling me a “sell out” for that record, i knew that for better or worse, i wasn’t on the same page when it came to making music.
it wasn’t so much that i was trying to separate myself from the collective, but i didn’t want to be part of the artmob mentality that i thought i was seeing from them.
however nowadays, i do consider how youth played a role, and i no longer have those issues with any of those dudes
Employee: You once remarked you’d participate in a DPD sequel if Sage Francis replaced Sole. Why?
Slug: i don’t remember saying that, but if i did, it wasn’t serious.
it was probably just a dumb jab at sole. i used to be mad at him.
i offer humble apologies for that.
truthfully, sage should have replaced me.
Employee: Where do you rank the DPD album in the Slug discography?
Slug: just another record. like the rest of the crap i’ve participated in.
i don’t really revisit any of my shit, unless i’m gonna perform it live.
Employee: Did you receive any backlash from friends of yours for the album itself?
Slug: nope. most of my friends didn’t listen to our type of shit.
Employee: Knowing what you know now, would you take part in it today if the opportunity arose?
Slug: wouldn’t work. i’ve become quite the control freak since those days.
The End.

Kanye West Loves Themselves
Sunday, November 22nd, 2009Taylor Swift’s nemesis shares an affinity with the rest of us rap nerds for the stylings of Dose One and Jel. He posted the new video for “Roman Is As Roman Does” off of Crownsdown on his blog a week ago. Is this the beginning of something new or a harbinger of the apocalypse?

Sole – “Nuclear Winter” (Mixtape)
Thursday, November 12th, 2009
Revolutionary when comfortable….
Monday, November 9th, 2009
Sole is unleashing his Nuclear Winter mixtape on the public in a couple of days. However, he’s taken the unusual step of both censoring himself and revising the hook to his interpretation of Jeezy’s “My President.” Why? A handful of bloggers and message boarders decried the track’s original hook and its perceived message. Vaginal artistic resolve and political correctness for the sake of political correctness aren’t suitable partners for someone whose staked his claim as a harbinger of truth and a beacon of rap defiance. You can listen to/download the new version here and peep the lyrically lyrical revisions here.
I thought you were da baddest poet.
