"pure, uncut raw" perfectly describes the sentiment of not only this song but the whole album from this north carolina emcee.  ninth flips the curtis mayfield sample so drastically you almost forget that its even there.  if you like the gritty shit, you gotta love legacy, and if you don't the phonte feature is enough to keep you listening

the bucks stops here (i couldn't help myself)

so starbucks announced that it will be closing 600 of its underperforming stores, and the fiends went crazy.  there is a comprehensive list for consumers to check and it has resulted in petitions and letter writing campaigns from patrons pretty much begging the corporation to keep their locations open.  yo coffee, is a hell-uv-a-drug...no i mean really; its like cocaine lite, comes from the same plant and everything.  i guess what strikes me the most about the starbucks closing response is how silly it is; it reeks of opulence and selfishness

1.  there's a starbucks damn near few blocks/ miles or so; i've been in san francisco and seen two locations literally a block away from each other and i know specifically in a suburb of my hometown of minneapolis there is one on 55th and brooklyn blvd and another one on 69th.  re route your schedule if its really that serious

2.  how dare you support a corporation like starbucks with grassroots methods like petitioning and letter writing.  the corporation has over 7000 locations nationwide and has been taking significant business away from many small coffee shops that serve breakfast, have better baked goods, play better music, have open mic nights and free wireless internet! (i wouldn't know if the coffee is better because i don't drink coffee)

3.  if you want to protest something that has to do with starbucks closing, how bout considering the 12,000 employees that will lose their jobs in a time where a st

eady job is hard to find.  if you think that you have some power as a starbucks consumer, how about demanding that they brew fair trade coffee

but then again, when's the last time you heard a crack head caring about the social responsibility of the pusher...

you know what i hate #2

baggage claim!!

common sense is seldom used in airports; but its at its worst when its comes to the baggage claim.  people act like its a concert staring...the bags.  they rush the conveyor belt as if being closer will ensure that their bags come out more quickly.  they all crowd the belt following bags that "look like" theirs, grabbing them to check the tags, only to throw them back on the belt, oooooor; they have their kids stand in the front knowing that they're not strong enough to pick up the bag if it were to appear right before them.

so during all this commotion i just sit back and then i see my bag come drop down and then i weave and bob between the onlookers as i swoop up my shit, chuck the deuces, and laugh at the losers looking at me like i magically made my bag appears while they wait for theirs.

so now, i try to stuff everything into 2 carryons
