New A Tribe Called Quest album on the way.

"Recently, Epic Records CEO L.A. Reid announced that the group will be releasing a brand new album, and their first in nearly 20 years, revealing that the new project will also include material recorded by Phife Dawg before his untimely death earlier this year."

"You know what I'm excited about, though? Tribe Called Quest. We have a Tribe Called Quest album coming. I'm really excited about that, " Reid enthusiastically explained during Rap Radar's podcast, continuing "It's a brand new album that they recorded. Before Phife passed away."
 
What region came up with "draco"? Was it Chiraq because the first time I heard it was on Lil Durk tape. Then I heard 50 and Soulja Boy use it.

Isn't that the actual name of the gun? When I was in the market for one the dude at the gun shop had all the paperwork and it said draco.
 
I remember seeing this guy opening up for Ghostface Killah back in Oct. 2005 in Chicago.  Tru Life started his set and the crowd wasn't into it after a couple of his songs.  He then started talking about New York and Chicago.  Keep in mind the White Sox had just won the World Series that month so the crowd was still excited about that.  The crowd would boo every time he mentioned NY.  Eventually after more boos someone screamed something at Trulife and his crew that pissed him off.  Tru Life decided to throw a Heineken beer bottle at someone, and all hell broke loose.  Bottles went back and forth between the stage and crowd.  A bottle eventually hit Trulife and made the guy bleed.  It was Trulife, his crew (maybe 5-6 dudes) and a few hundred people throwing bottles at each other.  Well, Tru Life and crew started getting hit bad with bottles until the police showed up to escort them out of the venue.  Half the crowd leaves thinking the show was over.  Glass and beer all over the place.  Some time passes and out comes Ghostface to calm the remaining crowd and starts his set after calling Tru Life a "clown" for instigating and not knowing how to work a show.  Craziest concert I have ever been too.    
 
grave digging this because i don't know where else to put this....but has anyone listened to the new mount eerie record "A Crow Looked at Me"


it got amazing reviews....but 5 songs in...i feel like this is too personal to put out on a record. Like i know music is expression and a release...but this is too heavy. And i normally like depressing music

I mean, the album is focused on his wife's death.

It seems he put all that creative energy into the album and it resonated very well.

creative energy though....have you heard it? It is legit heart breaking.

These are the first lines of the whole album....then he proceeds to make an album about it

Death is real
Someone's there and then they're not
And it's not for singing about
It's not for making into art
When real death enters the house, all poetry is dumb
When I walk into the room where you were
And look into the emptiness instead
All fails





A week after you died a package with your name on it came
And inside was a gift for our daughter you had ordered in secret
And collapsed there on the front steps I wailed
A backpack for when she goes to school a couple years from now
You were thinking ahead to a future you must have known deep down would not include you


:frown:
 
That album was a pain to listen to and not because of how emotionally personal it was
 
Figured I'd do a quick grave dig to throw my little blog on here. I decided to just start sharing my experiences and thoughts on various things with the world. Share if you like, if not tell me why.
 
GOOD MORNING, TAN!
