So for the longest the best way to describe my hiphop flavor was simple. Shaolin, everything from the Wu I would listen to, and even if I made efforts to listen to more underground stuff, I always stick to the Tao of the Wu.

Sure I will go off my way and enjoy some Jay-Z, Ja Rule, lil Kim and some eventful east coast rapper. The thing is that things have never been the same since Biggie die. I used to like Badboy/Death Row a lot and usually worked as gateways for other crews including Too $hort, Scarface, Busta Rhymes,…

Since then I have been just not listening to hip hop as a movement until recently where I found that there seems to be a lot of hiphop in Tabasco. :o

Yes, Tabasco has hiphop, and not from me or my friends, seems there seem to be a whole crew of rappers that are performing and just doing fresh hip hop stuff around…

So after almost 10 years I finally got myself to put some of the album I pulled together with some friends. Production sucks, but at least was original, well… almost. Most beats were from other albums – instrumentals.

Still it was nice to see that I still have the tracks and now I am endurring them on the cloud of last.fm, jamendo and magnatunes. See if maybe the combined cloud can guarantee the survival of my music even if its wack and/or even if its just for educational and testimonial on what I once did.

However stop by La Nueva…

This is the last go at trying to rescue my relationship with her and what better than with Soul.

Nothing really to say here except is really sticky song. Is he the next web celeb of Barry withish mixed with kanye west. Youtube is really having their own shares of musical talented.

So I am on a campaign to try to chat with some of my last.fm friends. I think that there is a lot of underground talent and a lot of public knowledge that is interesting seen it flow once we start discussing hip hop, groups and exchanging recommendations.

Also people is people and is fun to get to know people that are into the same things you are into. Doesn't mean that you are closed minded but on the opposite you can learn on other things that might not be the same to you.

The only problem is that the…

HipHop has become way too over commercial but every now and then there are days where you remember what was hip hop was all about. Hiphopfest show exactly that, a cookout type BK event in the middle of the New York Summertime.

People dancing, screaming, chanting and rhyming to what hip hop is all about. Ghostface and Fat Joe as well as Large Professor just playing for the crowd.

With the Brooklyn Bridge on the background and the Manhattan skyline the loud speakers resonate around the park.

Recently I have been coming to listen more and more Asian hip hop, specifically Hip hop from Nihon/Japan. Ever since I found a blogging body called ElNiro, he has been pushing some Japanese artists such as one of my favorites, Nujabes but also some new ones like DJ Muro, DJ Nozawa with Memory of the Future.

I hope to be listening to more Japanese hip hop and even get a couple of friends from the land of the rising son to educate me on the Nihonjin hip hop scene.

Sayonara!!

So it might not be new but is new for me, this cat has earn his status on just a couple of videos I've seen. Bring hiphop back is when you have a rapper actually rhymin and saying something.

I am not a big fan of the hispanic rappers, most of them are very foreign anyway, they are not black nor hispanics, they are newyoricans or dominican. Some are white, some are white, some are brown but really is where is the heart at.

There was something in Terror Squad sound that just didn't completely get me.

It just sounded…

So I been listening to ODEO a lot lately and have found some interesting stuff there. However I discover something I wasn't expecting, I found a blog site.

Recently I have gone back to check out the hip hop bloggsphere and I found this podcast/blog site called The Couch Sessions.

One of the most interesting posts was something that happened to NAS at one of his concerts where security wouldn't let him get in to his own show. That can't just compare it with what happened to QuestLove.

The whole time I was just thinking on the Mos…
