"girls write the word 'pimp' on my visitors tag.."
(sampled from my faaavorite tribe song of all time)

most people dont know that i have a love/hate relationship with hip-hop. when i was younger thats all i would listen to; tribe, slick rick, the furious five, afrika bambaataa...all i needed were my ehadphones and my ipod and i was in a different timezone...now its totally different, all the hip hop on my ipod is late 80s early 90s, the rest is electro pop, 90S RnB, worldly stuff, gospel, and otis redding. But even though i feel like rap music is just TRASH right now, i have hope for the future. Im really on this underground mixtapes, randrom rappers who hop on people's songs, and just random stuff i steal off of my friends' ipods. There's so much happening on this new music scene and even though i dont necessarily want to be a part of it, i DO want to know what's going on and if there's anything worth listening to and doggoneit. i think i found it in Chicago. luckillly, i have friends over there so that can keep me udpated on the underground, so last fall i recently became addicted to the entire chicago culture, the music, the clothes, the people..the list goes on, and like yesterday when i featured Jay Greedy, today im featuring another one of my favorite rappers from the city of wind. CRISS RULER. Criss and Greedy hopped on the Electric Relaxation track from tribe and the result was magic, its currently on repeat on my ipod and when you hear it, itll probably be on yours. I pulled Criss to do a cab confessional and this was the outcome, you have to love people's responses, tehy can be incredibly witty, so he took a break from talkign in riddles(as the chicagoans seem to do) and gave me upfront answers, and darnit..i appreciate it. so one last shout out to the Chicago music scene today, but be sure to check out Zip's mysapce riiight HERE. i cant wait to hear whats next.

p.s. SOMEBODY PUT ME ON WITH HOLLYWOOD HOLT! AHHHHH!!!!!
