CAT5

Hands down the best hip hop artist I've heard in ages. Dude is on another level, both lyrically and aesthetically. Creative and original.

The new album was super dope! They hit a great balance on this one - catchy and accessible while still capturing the band's zany essence.

Eidolon by The Seshen

I missed D'espairsRay when they came to Atlanta in 2008 for the Taste Of Chaos tour with MUCC and The Underneath (formerly Transtic Nerve, now Defspiral). Unfortunately, that was my only chance to see them before they disbanded!

Some new promo pics. Sad to see them without Yutaka, but great to see them carrying on!

BRO WTF I'M DYIN 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dude is sick.

I saw this recently on twitter, in regards to the #WomenTakeaKnee and #TakeAKneeForWomen hashtags spawned in backlash to the Kavanuagh nomination. I understand where he's coming from. I'm sure these women mean well, but their methods are certainly in want of tact and general consideration. For so-called blacks, our struggles have continually been co-opted, usurped, subverted, and perverted by groups outside of us throughout our history in this land. And in light of that, it does come off as opportunistic, and even disrespectful, of white liberal women to try and append their movement onto ours - especially when they've never had any 'skin in the game' concerning our plight. Now that's not to denigrate the #metoo movement at all - it's simply to make a distinction. These are two separate issues, and two separate movements. With that said, however; I personally think that protesting is a waste of time - especially for the so-called Negro. We've continually supplicated to a nation that has practically shown no regard for us over nearly 400 years. Our time and energy would be better spent taking redemptive action for and towards our own, rather than endlessly trying to convince others of our humanity.

In regards to the Bill Cosby fiasco...America has never been a friend to so-called 'African Americans'. That's nothing new. And while it's definitely an important issue - it's not the issue at hand here. I think the quotes below accurately sum up where our focus should be:

Working through several titles atm: From Babylon to Timbuktu: A History of the Ancient Black Races Including the Black Hebrews by Rudolph R. Windsor Hebrewisms of West Africa by Joseph J. Williams HEBREWS TO NEGROES: WAKE UP BLACK AMERICA! by Ronald Dalton Jr. The DNA of Sound: Exploring the Esoteric character of the Hebrew Language by Avdiel Ben Levi God, the Black Man and Truth by Ben Ammi

Another promising May release!

Dope. Looking forward to it.
