AKA What The Hell Is A Cannibal Ox?If you've ever been on a music related messageboard before or on in a hip hop thread you've seen the word, if you've ever heard the word/term used as a description or a derogatory term (i.e. Fuck you fake ass bitch Lupe Fiasco lovin' niggas! Y'all need to take that backpack bullshit back to the surburbs and listen to some real shit like Young Jeezy!) and wondered what the hell it meant or even where it came from, I'll explain it to you in the following blog. This blog is about not just where the term came from but its also about the grand Kansas City Shuffle executed by the government approving the Telecommunications Act and Viacom, Emmis Communications and Clearchannel in the roles of The Boss, The Rabbi, Mr. Goodkat and Slevin Kelevra (If you haven't yet seen "Lucky Number Slevin" do so...it will all make perfect sense then).<br />
<br />
Let us begin....at the beginning. There was a time when if you didn't at least make a effort to speak about issues or put a conscious cut on your album you were clowned incessantly (Ask LL Cool J or any kid that rocked in African medallion back in the day for the same reason). At one point being afrocentric or conscious was mainstream. That changed over time and we entered the 90s. 1990 was a transition year and hip hop was searching for a new direction. 1991 brought that direction, style and a bunch of new talent to the forefront (along with mad classic albums). Everything fell into place the following year, though.<br />
<br />
After 1991 brought the hip hop world a new influx of hip hop groups, style changes and classic albums, 1992 turned into what was called The Year Of The Underground by most hip hop publications (especially The Source). That year Das Efx, Redman, EPMD, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth, Black Sheep, The UMCs, Fu-Schnickens, Cypress Hill, House Of Pain, Del The Funkee Homosapien, Mobb Deep, UGK, Common, 2Pac, Diamond, The Pharcyde, etc. all came out and either did big numbers, made a classic LP/single and/or dominated the charts...plus, they all were different.<br />
<br />
Some were super lyrical, some just spit party rhymes. They were diverse in their styles and influences, some wore crazy ass clothes, others rocked work gear, hoodies, BDUs and Timberlands most of the time...some rhymed about space age shit and others came up with straight up street tales, others spit battle rhymes. It didn't matter what approach they took to the music or where they were from....they were all regarded as hip hoppers/rappers....oh yeah, a lot of them often rocked backpacks.<br />
<br />
Whether it was Grand Puba (who popularized the look in his lead single and video for his 1st solo LP "Reel To Reel"), Leaders Of The New School, Das Efx, Black Sheep, Redman, Black Moon, Ruff House Survivers (who had a single called Check Da Backpack), Mobb Deep or Onyx, heads used to rock backpacks from the corniest to the grimiest. You could keep all your shit in 'em! Your rhyme book, your black book (for graf), your contact information, your weed, guns, knives, pens, money, whatever! Rockin' a backpack wasn't an issue at all...Hip Hop also began invading the mainstream, moving units and becoming more and more popular with the youth across the board (Mostly industry fallout due to the crossover appeal of Dr. Dre's dominant release "The Chronic Album").<br />
<br />
It began seeping into MTV's regular video rotation and taking spins away from rock videos, eventually MTV began to mix urban music videos in with their regular rotation of mostly rock music due to the surging popularity of Yo! MTV Raps. Hip Hop was on the rise creatively, musically and influence wise. 1992 also kicked off what would be later regarded as the Second Golden Age Of Hip Hop....it would last until 1996...What does tall of this shit have to do with backpackers now? I'm getting there!<br />
<br />
In 1993, Wu Tang Clan (RZA, GZA, Ol Dirty Bastard, Raekwon The Chef, Ghostface Killah, U God, Masta Killa, Inspectah Deck, & Method Man), Boot Camp Click (Black Moon, Smif N Wessun, Heltah Skeltah & O.G.C.), Tha Alkaholiks and the Likwit Crew (King Tee, Lootpack (Madlib, Wildchild & DJ Romes) and Defari), Hieroglyphics Crew (Del The Funkee Homosapien, Souls Of Mischief, Extra Prolific, and Casual), The Beatnuts, Onyx, E-40, Snoop Dogg and The Roots all hit the hip hop scene hard. These names are legendary in the hip hop industry now and are extremely influential even to this day. A long ass list of seminal hip hop albums and classic releases was to come over the next 4 or 5 years so I'll skip around liberally.<br />
<br />
In 1994, Notorious B.I.G.'s "Ready To Die", Nas' "Illmatic", Jeru Tha Damaja's "The Sun Rises In The East", OutKast's "Southernplayalisticadillacmusik", and Bone Thugs N Harmony's "Creepin On A Come Up" EP were all released. In 1995, Mobb Deep released "The Infamous", The Dogg Pound's "Dog Food " dropped, Raekwon released "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx" and GZA released "Liquid Swords". In 1996, Jay-Z released "Reasonable Doubt" while Ghostface Killah's "Ironman", Busta Rhymes "The Coming", Lil Kim's "Hard Core" and The Fugees' "The Score" dropped...<br />
<br />
The radio was playing all of these artists' material and their videos were getting burn on MTV and BET. The South wasn't represented very well in the mainstream and on the radio...weirder still, Southern artists were moving more units INDEPENDENTLY and properly using their channels of distribution and marketing QUIETLY FOR YEARS! A Southern rapper/group could sell 100,000-300,000 by word of mouth, shows and creating a buzz so large that it locked down whole regions of the country....no videos, little or no radio airplay. The thing was that while Hip Hop was extremely inventive, ground breaking and influential to pop culture...IT WASN'T SELLING VERY WELL. If you think I'm joking go find a list of classic Hip Hop albums from 1986-1996 and look up how many units they sold. I was shocked to find out that albums like K-Solos classic LP "Tell The World My Name" from 1990 only sold 81,000+ units! This album had 2 major hits and 3 singles, Spellbound, Your Moms Is In My Business and Fugitive.<br />
<br />
If you continue to check on the sales figures of some of the most lauded and universally loved rap/hip hop albums you be shocked to find out that between 90-95% of them caught a brick (which is why they can be found on blogs all over the internet because they're out of print)! Right around the end of 1996, the industry had to go into a different direction or there would be trouble for the music industry...or so they say.<br />
<br />
In 1996, the Telecommunications Act was passed. This allowed larger companies to go and buy independent radio stations and put them under their umbrella. The companies that benefited the most from this were Emmis Communications and Clearchannel. Soon there were chain radio stations in effect across the country. Next, record labels began to trim the fat and whole labels folded and several acts that were prominent before 1996 either became dropped from their labels or they experienced diminished roles of importance in the industry. Artists such as Large Professor, who was signed by Geffen years before and was seen as a landmark signing at the time...until they realized that he wasn't ever going to move a lot of units...they shelved his album and released him from his deal immediately. Right around this time a division in the industry began to happen...by 1997, it would be completed.<br />
<br />
The division was mainly between the normally underground/gutter/grimy and conscious hip hop heads and the artists that rhymed about material wealth and the like. A rift had already formed between artist such as Notorious B.I.G. and members of the Bad Boy camp or associates of B.I.G. and Jeru Tha Damaja, O.G.C. and even Ghostface Killah, Raekwon and Nas. Jay-Z dropped Reasonable Doubt and made rhyming about wealth, extravagance and hustling seem so fly that between B.I.G. and Jay Z, they spawned a LEGION OF BITERS!!! None of them took into account that Jay-Z and B.I.G. were two of the greatest lyricists of all times and that attributed to the music being so appealing...they figured If I name drop Gucci, Versace, Donna Karan, DKNY, etc. and rhyme about selling crack, I'll BLOW UP!<br />
<br />
On the other side of things, 2Pac, who first burst on the scene with Digital Underground and dropped his first album "2Pacalypse Now" back in 1992 (check the sales numbers!) had become a veritable superstar in his own right. He dropped "Strictly For My N.I.G.G.A.Z" in 1993 before being incarcerated and was released to drop the double album "Me Against The World " to huge sales and much fanfare. The same went for his next album "All Eyez On Me". 2Pac had a SERIOUS beef with B.I.G. (that involved factors other than just music...even though he admitted to using it to move more units to some journalists such as Danyel Smith and Dream Hampton. 2Pac was a giant in the industry as was B.I.G...his sophomore album was set to come out as well as Bad Boy's "Hell Up In Harlem" starring Puff Daddy & The Family..a crew of young upstart emcees that Puffy signed strictly off of the strength that they got to be on the same label as B.I.G.<br />
<br />
The mainstream and hip hop media wrote story after story, feature after feature about the East Coast/West Coast Beef. Sales shot up, media coverage increased...very few noticed the Willie Lynch theory being put into action and played into it entirely. 2Pac had readied a few projects as well, looking to get out of his 7 album deal with Death Row early...he recorded non stop. Ultimately, one fateful night 10 years ago....2Pac was gunned down before he got to put the finishing touch on his 3 part Makaveli series and his "One Nation" LP that would have finished off his Death Row deal and made him a free agent again. Tensions increased and much animosity was sent towards the Bad Boy camp and especially Puff Daddy and Notorious B.I.G....2Pacs first Makaveli project dropped posthumously and did HUGE numbers...it still sells to this day.<br />
<br />
The radio has changed completely by 1997, as did MTV and BET...MTV switched their former format of mixing independent music, college radio favorites and hip hop/urban videos along with rock ones...They introduced a new flagship show called Total Request Live AKA TRL. The era of Grunge/Alternative Rock had also come to an end just as the Second Golden Age Of Hip Hop had...Record labels instead looked to sign the next big thing. Pop music made a HUGE comeback. Boy bands, girl groups and teen acts were tested with the public and MTV's TRL became a testing market/showcase to the teenybopper consumers that it was attracting...Ratings went through the roof for MTV after they introduced a new countdown show that launched the careers of NSync, The BackStreet Boys, 98º, The Spice Girls, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson, Mandy Moore and a host of other pop acts...Sales were up and the industry was back!<br />
<br />
Hip hop labels and execs knew what direction they had to take to get sales up..Notorious B.I.G. was about to drop his sophomore album Life After Death and that would set the stage for everything...until tragedy struck ONCE AGAIN. The Notorious B.I.G. was gunned down in California before his album was released. This sent a ripple effect throughout the industry. Notorious B.I.G.s sophomore album dropped and did HUGE NUMBERS...sense a pattern here, people? After B.I.G.s passing, a hurt Puff Daddy threw himself into his work and re-recreated his Hell Up In Harlem project into No Way Out. The album was released after some largely successful singles and did HUGE NUMBERS.<br />
<br />
Jay-Z released In My Lifetime Vol.1 as was seen as the next to become King Of New York. They even crossed over into mainstream radio. Record labels also discovered that if they signed southern artists that they could make noise in the industry as well. Think for a moment...if you sell 100,000-300,000 units WITHOUT A VIDEO, RADIO AIRPLAY OR NATIONWIDE DISTRIBUTION, how many units would you move WITH THEM? No Limit Records, Suave House Records and later Cash Money Records would change the face of the music industry forever continuing the legacy that Houston's Rap A Lot Records had laid down.<br />
<br />
With the shift in the hip hop industry that happened in 1996/7, the underground became its own separate entity as opposed to just being a part of the larger hip hop diaspora. These emcees and groups refused to emulate the jiggy/shiny suit/cash flow/thug/mafioso/hustler image that was blowing up all over the radio at the time. Groups that were once juggernauts, such as Wu Tang Clan, Boot Camp Clik, and even Bone Thugs N Harmony began to experience a decrease in popularity, and in airplay, video play after releasing their 1997 albums. The industry has shifted...Two thrones were now vacant, and EVERYONE was rushing to fill them. There were Biggie and Pac imitators everywhere. Independent distributors like Fat Beats Records, Sandbox Automatic, and many others began to specialize in putting out independent vinyl releases made by groups that were played on college radio and circulated on underground mixtapes.<br />
<br />
Indie labels like Solesides, Stones Throw, Rawkus, Fondle Em, Raw Shack, Bomb Hip Hop, Hydra and Brick began to release singles that attracted many fans that were turned off by the rap now getting spins on the radio. They began to utilize the internet to sell this underground music and make it possible to listen to it all over the world. Heads would log on to 88HipHop.com, Duckdown.com, Rawkus.com, HipHopSite.com, UndergroundHipHop.com and SandboxAutomatic.com to hear the latest J Live, Company Flow, Hieroglyphics, Sir Menelik, Mos Def and Latryx joints that they couldn't hear on the radio where they lived or purchase the music that they heard on college radio but didnt have a place to buy it. Long story short, THE BACKPACKER WAS BORN!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
By 1998, Def Jam had found the formula to make hits again and released DMX, Ja Rule, Method Man, Redman, and Jay-Z albums that made serious noise. Along with the Cash Money Records roster, No Limit Records roster, Roc A Fella Records and Lauryn Hills The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill. Rap music had made HUGE inroads into pop culture and once Def Jam sent the Survival Of The Illest Tour and Hard Knock Life Tour out and they were highly successful and without any incidents of violence in small and large venues. This occurrence opened the floodgates for major hip hop tours to play to huge arenas again. This also put the nail in the coffin for the Underground to ever join the Mainstream rap scene again. A hip hop Civil War has been going on ever since.<br />

This term can be used as an adjective or a derogatory term given the context. It makes me laugh, really. None of the people that use this term realize that its all basically the product of a perfectly executed plan to remove the creativity, lyricism, fun and consciousness from mainstream rap. The Willie Lynch theory was once again put into effect. Conscious vs. Material. Hustlers vs. Emcees. Underground vs. Mainstream. Crunk vs. Hyphy. Reggaeton vs. Grime. Old vs. Young....Yes, indeed.<br />
<br />
So think about the next time you see or hear someone use the term backpacker and think about the events that happened in the past that started 10 years that brought this term into creation and common usage. Keep in mind that mainstream rap is ONCE AGAIN at a crossroads and experiencing a drought as far as appeal, influence and sales numbers are concerned. MTV doesn't even CARE about Rap or Hip Hop right now and they seem to be distancing themselves from it. What chain of events will happen next that will cause someone else to be writing another blog 10 years from now recounting how the Hip Hop industry got to be the was it is in 2016 going into 2017?<br />

I had left my job in management & quit emceeing between October 2005 & Summer 2006 and I needed a new direction. I used to have no problem getting work in record stores or video stores but they'd been all but phased out by then & they no longer needed to hire knowledgeable staffs anymore due to new advances in technology.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcHbFHgnCBYsE5_vOyyJXKtSFgZOrCK3kN3uEBW53hnUJ_yLOTfGvFy7GLLmqHIYKvzDqKRpqTn6Do81CyhaBWrp_vBbJU08RXPzJzQwpSTs1kaMX4ruyDpBBik6sk50bo0jsfaHZUajaM/s1600-h/220357550_l.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 137px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcHbFHgnCBYsE5_vOyyJXKtSFgZOrCK3kN3uEBW53hnUJ_yLOTfGvFy7GLLmqHIYKvzDqKRpqTn6Do81CyhaBWrp_vBbJU08RXPzJzQwpSTs1kaMX4ruyDpBBik6sk50bo0jsfaHZUajaM/s320/220357550_l.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421685194794106994" border="0" /></a>I needed to get into Hip Hop journalism but I had spent the past 10 years working and I had no resume, writing credits or journalism degree so no one would dare hire me.

Sunday (who I didn't know was Dallas Penn @ the time) & Byron "Bol" Crawford. Needless to say, I soon became a frequent XXL blog commenter as Poisonous Dart.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwt7sVPgot2IGma_yBPmMt6kDCyMEMQiYJUehyphenhyphenGp8mOohfBHyma1tBc1vbmUXnN2lsMa0O0SoUYJZA2RInqoPz3smy2cjHsVMQFWxWTo8oVleyOx6D0ap4coM3rKlqv4mb_fOfbl7lq8JG/s1600-h/WEBPG_3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwt7sVPgot2IGma_yBPmMt6kDCyMEMQiYJUehyphenhyphenGp8mOohfBHyma1tBc1vbmUXnN2lsMa0O0SoUYJZA2RInqoPz3smy2cjHsVMQFWxWTo8oVleyOx6D0ap4coM3rKlqv4mb_fOfbl7lq8JG/s320/WEBPG_3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421685907692143458" border="0" /></a>Other XXL blog comment regulars of the same time include Meka Soul (Meka @ HipHopDX & 2DopeBoyz) and Khal (Khal @ Rock The Dub) so I was in some distinguished company back then.

I knew that he probably didn't feel like doing a fourth part and that he would only do one at his own leisure because it seemed like his heart really wasn't in it. I figured that if I made my own version of his blog series, but for older heads it would help the situation out some. I had to go all out, though. I decided that I had to do "100 Ways To Know If You're A 70's Baby".<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIJeCIIvQb9oEB_2BOcIVa-JSLSMO7Sd4kvc7_r7ZBPoY3q_xOf-5d9Lo-3D4EfMvxy9F8r5h8Z9OeCMDHkGJ8TgQ7txLTZD5_nKFAClv9uXpzkvLNgpT5iIEUMW_i7bG2mgEcTfKdwjkh/s1600-h/coleco.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIJeCIIvQb9oEB_2BOcIVa-JSLSMO7Sd4kvc7_r7ZBPoY3q_xOf-5d9Lo-3D4EfMvxy9F8r5h8Z9OeCMDHkGJ8TgQ7txLTZD5_nKFAClv9uXpzkvLNgpT5iIEUMW_i7bG2mgEcTfKdwjkh/s320/coleco.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374676603888424962" border="0" /></a>My first draft was about Coleco Vision and Atari 2600 and shit only a kid born in the 70's would be able to relate to. I realized pretty quick that my blog would actually help more if it could be relevant to a wider cross section of readers. After all, most heads that old weren't the ones actively frequenting Hip Hop messageboards anymore.

Blogging was like playing Uno with two people to me...mad fun ("Skip you back to me, skip you back to me, reverse you back to me, reverse you back to me, Wild draw four and the color is green...Uno!" and the one card you have left is a green nine that looks like a six with the line underneath it).<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi27aEPI-dyhkAZOJtwWiWzi5GLtFlKlA0_pHd-6sF85WRQabG-wV_qowHE1bhpU0uxrtf9B327h1fdI5zTHtvMsKDKhk3DP4Eh4A8g_evu6RUI6HQpaomQGfIMudT827Ry4daQlazxRwSQ/s1600-h/pic.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi27aEPI-dyhkAZOJtwWiWzi5GLtFlKlA0_pHd-6sF85WRQabG-wV_qowHE1bhpU0uxrtf9B327h1fdI5zTHtvMsKDKhk3DP4Eh4A8g_evu6RUI6HQpaomQGfIMudT827Ry4daQlazxRwSQ/s320/pic.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374680692769426418" border="0" /></a>I decided to call it Poisonous Paragraphs after the underlying name of my blog series on AllHipHop which was called "The State Of Hip Hop: Poisonous Paragraphs".

I eventually realized that he's a grown ass man that has to answer for his own ways and actions and going at him was a waste of time when I should be focused on myself and my own writing (though, he still does piss me off with the ig'nant shit he posts from time to time).<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCIlBA1BheAPkfK-TG7QRKICId-4eInqORTBOHuelqm6Wmda1NPz3DdYTtLgH9wdf7o7uWD1cVyHTQDVmj7jTBqm5nvStEnN06poVw3cfN196x_C56I6JXnA8a65ZHlex6uKrUenJtRSHV/s1600-h/l_54e88cfdb4445044fb9958de815e7e99.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCIlBA1BheAPkfK-TG7QRKICId-4eInqORTBOHuelqm6Wmda1NPz3DdYTtLgH9wdf7o7uWD1cVyHTQDVmj7jTBqm5nvStEnN06poVw3cfN196x_C56I6JXnA8a65ZHlex6uKrUenJtRSHV/s320/l_54e88cfdb4445044fb9958de815e7e99.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374684866806434594" border="0" /></a>To read any of my old ass blogs from the State Of Hip Hop series read 'em <a href="http://blog.myspace.com/poisonousdarthfc">here</a> (some have been posted here already).

When I write articles, I usually write about subjects that someone else has suggested for me to speak on...some I usually don't give a goddamn about.<br /><br />I can write about any and all of the things that interest me in the fields of Hip Hop, film, sports, entertainment, etc. The best part is that I don't have to wait for the article to come out, get edited, censored or get printed....as soon as I post the joint and press PUBLISH. There it is for the world to see.<br /><br />Just a warning for people that go on blogs and don't want to read anything....You're on the wrong damn page, fam. I WRITE...A LOT.

Ghost kept his visage covered with either a stocking or a ski mask during the crew's earliest videos and press pictures because he had a case pending and because he thought it added to his mystique as an emcee.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSbkvyrd_II6AvwTqsrZrnYZxV8J_ZXG5BVS6Rf6hGkhFPU3ZgDTNVAv_tnjYgdAhZcLRFe-t1eQnecKtW2GKDmZv6ipSQ4jyCs8R_3BNUTPjItjKdRF2Y6Ic7g5Tnyu3YqI1DJqvPPQB8/s1600-h/mf-doom-madvillain-cover.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSbkvyrd_II6AvwTqsrZrnYZxV8J_ZXG5BVS6Rf6hGkhFPU3ZgDTNVAv_tnjYgdAhZcLRFe-t1eQnecKtW2GKDmZv6ipSQ4jyCs8R_3BNUTPjItjKdRF2Y6Ic7g5Tnyu3YqI1DJqvPPQB8/s320/mf-doom-madvillain-cover.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421495780508862738" border="0" /></a>I thought it was a dope idea because you had nothing to judge him on other than his lyrics or the consistency of his bars/verses throughout his career rather than other perimeter shit.

He remarked about how ill he thought Ghostface Killah was because all he had to do was just lay down his verses and that was it.<br /><br /><br />Photo shoots and videos wouldn't be overpowered by his image because all that mattered was how he came off on that track he was on. Of course, once Tony Starks face was revealed to the world his career changed immediately. Now it was about expanding on his image, the wallabees, the bathrobes over the clothes and the golden eagle bracelet. Before no one knew what he looked like none of that ever came into play.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8fzqHQcaqO3ABZFJh3s5sMoyDpQlVm-ToQILo_zuytMi0UeldfeE1MnKoQ0LVVs_tC02B4sHnclyWsiVIHuuC1HpR5QrMo-SSiiLmgdQUG1ymvoelTAXbgb4hDGMQY0HCH4XGIeLr86s/s1600-h/superd_6260520.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8fzqHQcaqO3ABZFJh3s5sMoyDpQlVm-ToQILo_zuytMi0UeldfeE1MnKoQ0LVVs_tC02B4sHnclyWsiVIHuuC1HpR5QrMo-SSiiLmgdQUG1ymvoelTAXbgb4hDGMQY0HCH4XGIeLr86s/s320/superd_6260520.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330559244861009138" border="0" /></a>Nas' comments were overblown by the Hip Hop media and fans alike but I completely understood what he meant. What if Biggie was allowed to remain the grimy Brooklyn ex-drug dealer with the army jacket over the jeans and Timberlands rather than becoming the suited playa/Big Poppa/Frank White that Diddy turned him into?<br /><br /><br />What if Kimberly Jones never adopted Nelda (The Original Queen Bee)'s whole image and stayed herself? Would she have still gotten so much plastic surgery if she felt she was enough already? Think about Inga Marchand and how different her career would have been if we only focused on her bars and NOT her bras. Remember how girls responded to Method Man when they first saw him? Why do you think Def Jam made it such a point to sign him?<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXwojX-QrEZTmFw4mtjPdL6ia1Y8nv8gvxwDIAsb_6KK_YijoHErwJOOYLbvXkGNkrPRFBzp81HKTvlUPGPSHWsuBtqDgofJK9hMPnewJL403QpOfTWjG9On2JboJNryefb8tv-Sel18g/s1600-h/5195_b.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXwojX-QrEZTmFw4mtjPdL6ia1Y8nv8gvxwDIAsb_6KK_YijoHErwJOOYLbvXkGNkrPRFBzp81HKTvlUPGPSHWsuBtqDgofJK9hMPnewJL403QpOfTWjG9On2JboJNryefb8tv-Sel18g/s320/5195_b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330559679783413890" border="0" /></a>Think about the people you add to MySpace/Facebook/Twitter every day.

I'm not worried or even concerned because while things will change I'll welcome them. I'm not going to write any differently or be any different, though. The only thing that will change is that people will realize that I look a lot like that drawing of Luke Cage. If I couldn't stand your music or blog before I'll still hate you. If you're in the metro Boston area you'll be seeing me around soon.<br /><br />One of my industry friends asked me recently if I wanted some free Beats By Dre headphones & I told him I wouldn't be caught dead rocking those overpriced ass headphones. I instead copped a couple pairs of Sony MDR-XD100's from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDRXD100-MDR-XD100-Stereo-Headphones/dp/B0007N55NM/ref=pd_sim_e_4">Amazon</a>.

Please keep in mind that in order for me to even narrow this list to 200 I had to exclude all instrumental albums with the exception of Exile's "Radio" (as it could've easily been Album Of The Year) otherwise it would've just been ridiculous and impossible to narrow to just 200 Hip Hop albums.

The original cartoon “Peace On Earth” was made in 1939 at the beginning of World War 2 and the Hanna Barbera remake "Good Will To Men" in 1955 was updated to include a new ending for mankind at the hands of the atomic bomb (which didn’t exist when the first version was created).<br /><br />I first saw this cartoon on regular TV back in 1978 and it scared the shit out of me. I saw the second version in 1980 and thought that it was even scarier because it started out all cutesy and then turned grimy at the drop of a dime.<br /><br />When I got older, I did a little research into the back stories of both cartoons and with age I became to appreciate how great both of the versions are. Here’s my version of a Christmas post. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Feliz Navidad/Three Kings Day, Joyous Kwanzaa (Harambe!), Great Festivus, and a good Saturnalia to you all (I don’t know what Wiccans celebrate this time of year so happy _____. Both versions of the celebrated anti-war/Christmas cartoon are below:<br /><br />Peace On Earth (1939)<br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ToaLLps4h7Y&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ToaLLps4h7Y&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed></object><br /><br /><br />Goodwill To Men (1955)<br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_qzqSwB68Tc&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_qzqSwB68Tc&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed></object><br /><br />One.Dart Adamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00878801052893199850noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6420176845224246684.post-74083337873155546942009-12-24T22:07:00.010-05:002009-12-27T11:16:47.966-05:00Dart Adams presents Top 100 Instrumental & Sub Hip Hop LP's Of 2009<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc7JhjENauMx4lclCGY_GCaGja5cAklSQpxIfKOX70TQytZrVf8W7XPPAolMVuYJ1UhGHmJN0AQRWljhik9wM7joWsO43oTvS1colbVVclIPxNWMBM5qhMvU0nxWdGXbbSVZglGMFxUHI0/s1600-h/luke-cage_400.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 280px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc7JhjENauMx4lclCGY_GCaGja5cAklSQpxIfKOX70TQytZrVf8W7XPPAolMVuYJ1UhGHmJN0AQRWljhik9wM7joWsO43oTvS1colbVVclIPxNWMBM5qhMvU0nxWdGXbbSVZglGMFxUHI0/s320/luke-cage_400.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399736742756433602" border="0" /></a>Here's my final list of the top 100 instrumental & remix LP's of 2009 according to me (there will be Dubstep).

It will come out in your writing. I've posted for several different sites in the past (I Hook A Beat Up, Nerd With Swag, eMusic, etc.) but I used to post for a football related site called Armchair Linebacker that was a spinoff of the once popular blog Dumpin.net that I used to visit quite often back in the days. Raven Mack & Mike Dikk decided to do a football blog and asked me to contribute. I said hell yeah.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcywQxcf7c90jJm4odDwwfIBN_xJ_7efvcUaPJht8zPcOmwAURRrRLAr7qG1yrp1JFpdiK3mWO3qaKCge6vOp02C4DBtNtLfE8-V9e_bnvWfLaWjw3hQuYnNgoZsJWslvFz05mVX6UXlin/s1600-h/aclb1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcywQxcf7c90jJm4odDwwfIBN_xJ_7efvcUaPJht8zPcOmwAURRrRLAr7qG1yrp1JFpdiK3mWO3qaKCge6vOp02C4DBtNtLfE8-V9e_bnvWfLaWjw3hQuYnNgoZsJWslvFz05mVX6UXlin/s320/aclb1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418169879879661842" border="0" /></a>The season I was asked to contribute also happened to be the season that the Patriots were going 16-0. The NFL posts on Dumpin were essentially everyone hating the Patriots and me talking shit about how they were unbeatable. Keep that in mind. The site began during the '08 NFL Playoffs. I started writing <a href="http://www.armchairlinebacker.com/2008_01_01_archive.html">full playoff round recaps</a> (partly because I thought I'd be documenting yet another glorious championship season like I'd done previously with the '07 Red Sox & '08 Boston Celtics on Poisonous Paragraphs).

There is no fairweather in me (it's simply not allowed). Reading the other "woe is me, I'm in hell" posts about horrible teams & inept franchises was draining and not conducive to good writing.

The thing is that they didn't play but 40 minutes of the alloted 48 and Rajon Rondo often had defensive lapses and let Johnny Flynn get to the hole whenever he felt like it. Also, the Celtics were harassed by the young legs of Kevin Love, Ryan Hollins & Al Jefferson. They still managed to win their 12th game in their past 13.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgglILycxfkakAy3hl8wvtrdx_U7Ysbzs8H6PdT_HtBjOO4Sv2j2hy0wCfNFvA3Yuuzz3lb5_VTYjBTYynHSLqoec6zntgJEWCcYm5QpsmrV1kh2oEvg0NsAia4T7SXrj2_JBNabhw3OQCR/s1600-h/c147b9a20643ced36662a92022d7a5a8-getty-90042092.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 224px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgglILycxfkakAy3hl8wvtrdx_U7Ysbzs8H6PdT_HtBjOO4Sv2j2hy0wCfNFvA3Yuuzz3lb5_VTYjBTYynHSLqoec6zntgJEWCcYm5QpsmrV1kh2oEvg0NsAia4T7SXrj2_JBNabhw3OQCR/s320/c147b9a20643ced36662a92022d7a5a8-getty-90042092.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417946647236680194" border="0" /></a>Rajon Rondo led the charge and racked up 13 pts, 15 ast & 3 stl to finish at a jaw dropping +23 on the night.

We'll see how it all pans out soon enough.

For those of you new to this blog, I don’t rate albums on a scale or assign them a numerical value out of 5 or 10, instead I merely answer the all important question of “Is it worth buying or not?”. Here's how my recently revised "Cop It Or Not" ratings system breaks down below:<br /><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><h3 class="post-title entry-title"> </h3><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_GmtGX_QRN_NIGOwlS4djBT-8tGDEGFRJIy_726OQ475mcJxsdeYD0VM-uNu51PhnXFIRhHvDOiKmUOS6Um825dnEOhbbNBzNe6K0I77tu0-_AwO27qoMjpk97meiiEasFpm_V8SlIvU/s1600-h/wacknessposter-2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 217px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_GmtGX_QRN_NIGOwlS4djBT-8tGDEGFRJIy_726OQ475mcJxsdeYD0VM-uNu51PhnXFIRhHvDOiKmUOS6Um825dnEOhbbNBzNe6K0I77tu0-_AwO27qoMjpk97meiiEasFpm_V8SlIvU/s320/wacknessposter-2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330904785536284242" border="0" /></a>Opinions be damned.

It's actual music, though. If you're not into listening to actual music outside of looking for samples then that's a damn shame because this is one of my favorite projects of the past year in that respect.<br /><br />Build An Ark plays instrumental Soul, Jazz, Samba and mix it in with some nice vocals on a couple of tracks reminiscent of the 60's & 70's. I give it a mos def. Search it out if you actually appreciate music played by actual people with instruments.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_1aVfRUElscyR5-_ceubNGembuLNfblizSldaEVaBuhizx-eInXuU_6Rmx3l1c2ZBzr6D8fGHU15jJEBIw7wlGhJx793iGwUh-c2dgiVFi_Vi3cLniKQxh0A_qaQIkLp_k2zrtzGRogTo/s1600-h/Mos-Def-Posters.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_1aVfRUElscyR5-_ceubNGembuLNfblizSldaEVaBuhizx-eInXuU_6Rmx3l1c2ZBzr6D8fGHU15jJEBIw7wlGhJx793iGwUh-c2dgiVFi_Vi3cLniKQxh0A_qaQIkLp_k2zrtzGRogTo/s320/Mos-Def-Posters.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5175056599565334370" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijL2ss-ohoG3M-st32xUYeeP9qUpS7XSGpEdexxPGfhyGJGRePJOJLCm69a5nVdEwldukj7iA1sYC4xWVAwjS7eX0_w4w3azsPLO_V9GiZASutYqaqBrQVRxffbm-izqJ1hPdXtm5ePhz8/s1600-h/lil-wayne-rebirth-450x450.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijL2ss-ohoG3M-st32xUYeeP9qUpS7XSGpEdexxPGfhyGJGRePJOJLCm69a5nVdEwldukj7iA1sYC4xWVAwjS7eX0_w4w3azsPLO_V9GiZASutYqaqBrQVRxffbm-izqJ1hPdXtm5ePhz8/s320/lil-wayne-rebirth-450x450.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403610184172512546" border="0" /></a>Somewhat Tolerable Joints: American Star, Prom Queen, Ground Zero, Drop The World (Em's verse), Runnin’ (with just Shannel on it),<br /><br />Hot Garbage: Da Da Da, Paradice, Get A Life, On Fire, Drop The World (Wayne & the beat), Runnin' (Wayne's verses), One Way Trip, Knockout (Nicki Minaj is a carbuncle on your penis the day Rosario Dawson says "Yes") and The Price Is Wrong<br /><br /><br />Dart's Take: You know those big budget Hollywood movies that feature a huge box office draw in the lead role but they continuously get pushed back & they end up with 5 or more writers and no trailer for more than a year? When they finally come close to release, get a film poster & the trailer ends up an exclusive on Apple it suddenly gets pushed back again just to drop and it turns out it sucks? Well, that's "Rebirth"<br /><br />This album has no direction. Some songs have annoying ass AutoTune effects but some don't. The verses are underwhelming. With the exception of Eminem the guest appearances were pointless. Some of these tracks should've clearly been given to other people.<br /><br />This album was pure torture to listen to and I'd rather tap dance while eating a bucket of KFC in blackface live on Fox News rockin' a top hat, tuxedo & tails with spats than listen to this album ever again. It started out as an attempt at a crossover album but you can tell that idea was rethought then later they decided to go along with the original plan again. What?<br /><br />This project is a failure in every imaginable facet of record making. It's not even close to being good and I can't wait for Weezy stans to attempt to defend it. I give it the only rating it deserves, the wackness.

"Escapade". lazy. It's a sin), Steady Mobbin' (Gucci Mane features get you a bullet in your top half), She Is Gone, Streets Is Watchin' (Nicki Minaj's verse was a low point in American history) and Finale (5 minutes of torture for those with discriminating tastes)<br /><br />Dart's Take: There are 10 people on the cover of this album, that's about 7 or 8 too many. This album is horrid. The Young Money roster is weaker than the New Jersey Nets' is. When the best person in your crew ghostwrites for the CEO who's also on his way to jail you know your team is doomed.<br /><br />In a few years, we'll look back at this shit sandwich of an album and laugh. I'm way ahead of my time so I'll laugh right now. Wayne's album was the wackness...this is 3x worse because it's even more wack verses total. Listening to this album is like having a forced prostate exam by the Terminator (regardless of what gender you happen to be) while simultaneously being forced to watch "Tyler Perry's Meet The Browns"....<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_GmtGX_QRN_NIGOwlS4djBT-8tGDEGFRJIy_726OQ475mcJxsdeYD0VM-uNu51PhnXFIRhHvDOiKmUOS6Um825dnEOhbbNBzNe6K0I77tu0-_AwO27qoMjpk97meiiEasFpm_V8SlIvU/s1600-h/wacknessposter-2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 217px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_GmtGX_QRN_NIGOwlS4djBT-8tGDEGFRJIy_726OQ475mcJxsdeYD0VM-uNu51PhnXFIRhHvDOiKmUOS6Um825dnEOhbbNBzNe6K0I77tu0-_AwO27qoMjpk97meiiEasFpm_V8SlIvU/s320/wacknessposter-2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330904785536284242" border="0" /></a><br />I need the Men In Black to pull out the neuralyzer and erase my memory of these two wack ass albums so I won't have daymares & night terrors then dispose of them for me.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFPKbdpg8xmpDUCMJfgDVKkfH4V8QpuiskLTtCoShPcNHPHYPEHb7S-h1SM5pwNomCH0KIi88yZC-_mD69Vqk75E0BrAdTOSMt6_c4-2fYpiuhOnXBQZTPrPyitL7eONg3RiDuJeTp9LDY/s1600-h/neuralyzer.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 165px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFPKbdpg8xmpDUCMJfgDVKkfH4V8QpuiskLTtCoShPcNHPHYPEHb7S-h1SM5pwNomCH0KIi88yZC-_mD69Vqk75E0BrAdTOSMt6_c4-2fYpiuhOnXBQZTPrPyitL7eONg3RiDuJeTp9LDY/s320/neuralyzer.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416691097307955586" border="0" /></a>MIB's: You know the drill by now.

He then posted up a <a href="http://clapcowards.com/2009/04/23/shooter-part-2-the-professional-reloads/">part 2</a> to the blog in April 2009 that solidified the case for considering Ray Allen the greatest shooter in NBA history.<br /><br />I saw this post and realized that I never posted up my answer blog "I Respect The Shooter © Jay-Z". So a month later I posted my list. Since Zilla had already used Mark Price, Mitch Ritchmond, and Glen Rice on his list I had to go ahead and pick some other cats. I decided to add on to my original list from May so here goes:<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIK2BFYscijHFImBP62JArBU8I9GZmLqIYXoGHHVm4XSHPQ6hh0hoYEj_-J7HZmXni1JnTIVkdVPnsbeazZ1_hX3NYuD0MTfDCUnsBm-YV5k_b5d0BAnPwEp5UwdQn0iYsIiu1pt6PptY/s1600-h/611809-dale_ellis_large.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 196px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIK2BFYscijHFImBP62JArBU8I9GZmLqIYXoGHHVm4XSHPQ6hh0hoYEj_-J7HZmXni1JnTIVkdVPnsbeazZ1_hX3NYuD0MTfDCUnsBm-YV5k_b5d0BAnPwEp5UwdQn0iYsIiu1pt6PptY/s320/611809-dale_ellis_large.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335517878963405714" border="0" /></a>Dale Ellis AKA The Silent Assassin 6'7 205 Years Active: 1983-2000 Career Averages: 15.7 ppg 48% FG 40% 3PT FG<br /><br />If you love excitement, flashy play and boisterous or emotional players then changes are you hated Dale Ellis. He was called Lamar Mundane for a reason. If you watched this dude in hopes of seeing anything smacking of highlight material you'll end up being more bored than a lesbian at a Drake concert.<br /><br />What the man did was put the ball in the hole. A lot. He stayed under control, he was extremely efficient, and he had one of the deadly mid and long range games of the 80's & 90's. He was a scoring machine during his days as a Supersonic and a long range threat for the rest of his long & storied career.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdpLVFd2wUchvakQ1xf8-V85omkCV5pD2ghaCXllr4ConPFqO_Zg6irptoHqpYIzj5Hw4sWR2nYsBL3u7tNsrqrC65b___Brm8Hk6l5CzBWzCOSj5oTVf2weRBVaRv2qX4O82PFyukvFM/s1600-h/242923.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdpLVFd2wUchvakQ1xf8-V85omkCV5pD2ghaCXllr4ConPFqO_Zg6irptoHqpYIzj5Hw4sWR2nYsBL3u7tNsrqrC65b___Brm8Hk6l5CzBWzCOSj5oTVf2weRBVaRv2qX4O82PFyukvFM/s320/242923.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335518279705826082" border="0" /></a>Chuck Person AKA The Rifleman 6'8 230 Years Active: 1986-2000 Career Averages: 14.7 ppg 46% FG 36% 3PT FG<br /><br />Chuck Person was a dead eye shooter with range out to 25 feet. You couldn't give him any type of space or leave him alone for fear he'll get hot. How dangerous was the Rifleman? He and his Indiana Pacers used to give the Boston Celtics heart attacks in the playoffs during the later years when the Celtics were trying to get back to the Eastern Conference Finals and challenge the Pistons.<br /><br />Chuck Person and his mentee, a young Reggie Miller softened up the C's so much that they usually got handled by Cleveland Cavaliers in the next round. Chuck passed on his shooting touch to his younger brother Wesley as well. This cat was unstoppable when he got on.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw3-CB10ENcIgoH3nrGnUm7LD4rg6Ad2d1tri7f-qeBgs3NOj8iXEcFlE0d81Un3emgPXqILgs3Vu8oxsaBhNXIkAmKzYyQpRgyqVs5neLtyLGNY2CbocIV190ybn2l63oavn9HYXeSCU/s1600-h/larrybird.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 262px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw3-CB10ENcIgoH3nrGnUm7LD4rg6Ad2d1tri7f-qeBgs3NOj8iXEcFlE0d81Un3emgPXqILgs3Vu8oxsaBhNXIkAmKzYyQpRgyqVs5neLtyLGNY2CbocIV190ybn2l63oavn9HYXeSCU/s320/larrybird.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335518687610021746" border="0" /></a>Larry Bird AKA Larry Legend 6'9 230 Years Active: 1979-1992 Career Averages: 24.3 ppg 50% FG 38% 3PT FG<br /><br />What can I say about Larry Bird that Bill Simmons, Bob Ryan, Jackie McMullan, Michael Holley, Peter May, Bill Shaughnessy, Tommy Heinsohn, Mike Gorman or Johnny Most hasn't already better? I know. He was the muthafuckin' man!<br /><br />Larry Bird grew up dead ass broke with his multiple siblings with a single mother and a father that committed suicide when he was a boy. Larry Bird was focused on supporting his family through basketball so he busted his ass perfecting his skills in French Lick, Indiana. He dreamed of money every night and woke up early to put shots up.<br /><br />He went to Indiana University to play ball, but he hated it there and dropped out. He got a job back home before he was convinced to go to Indiana State University and the rest is history. I learned one key thing from Larry Bird as a kid.<br /><br />Nothing is given to you, you have to work for it. Once you get it, you work even harder to maintain it/stay on point. Salute to one of the greatest pure shooters, all around players and hard workers in NBA history.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-RTaK3CmP1k1r-LWoyOnteNLeFVK5-w1mHqZlD2QP5pL5Lru_zIF52mFUFN8t2sXOT-tLyyyVwSUT_8dincb3ND-uvMX8i7h-J-84FnG-9NTZCPA1ah310agLF75BL7bx4f2eCm3pC7A/s1600-h/AAGQ209~Reggie-Miller-2005-Playoffs-Jump-Shot-Posters.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 258px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-RTaK3CmP1k1r-LWoyOnteNLeFVK5-w1mHqZlD2QP5pL5Lru_zIF52mFUFN8t2sXOT-tLyyyVwSUT_8dincb3ND-uvMX8i7h-J-84FnG-9NTZCPA1ah310agLF75BL7bx4f2eCm3pC7A/s320/AAGQ209~Reggie-Miller-2005-Playoffs-Jump-Shot-Posters.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335519899746007666" border="0" /></a>Reggie Miller 6'7 185 Years Active: 1987-2005 Career Averages: 18.2 ppg 47% FG 40% 3PT FG<br /><br />Reggie Miller is a machine. He is all about competition. He was the younger brother of one of the greatest basketball players of any era, Cheryl Miller. She constantly broke records and got attention and little brother Reggie wanted to attain the very same accolade that she did.<br /><br />He was puttin' up shots at an early age perfecting his stroke and he worked on being able to get free and put up his shot with only 3 inches of space between himself and his defender.<br /><br />Once he made it to the NBA, he was under the tutelage of several coaches and players like Vern Fleming and Chuck Person that helped him along even more. At one point in time, Reggie Miller became the most feared long range threat in the NBA.<br /><br />He was the star of the Indiana Pacers when they were the class of the Eastern Conference and now he's a Gold medalist and a sure fire Hall Of Famer. He was also damn close to rocking kelly green.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwt-EGJmkyZIm-uq-Cw2wmAu2UZqMkgaLIjvQrY4kkNSc7qyhDlGsELSBJ5Sr2K8cfvOmjDBpii5mqFiqYNCoJIO4MvQibz2494xM6nORDO7qMyNPacs_P48Ok7XFZZIPOvzmPVGvIQUfo/s1600-h/drazen-petrovic.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 233px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwt-EGJmkyZIm-uq-Cw2wmAu2UZqMkgaLIjvQrY4kkNSc7qyhDlGsELSBJ5Sr2K8cfvOmjDBpii5mqFiqYNCoJIO4MvQibz2494xM6nORDO7qMyNPacs_P48Ok7XFZZIPOvzmPVGvIQUfo/s320/drazen-petrovic.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416728566887554418" border="0" /></a>Drazen Petrovich AKA Petro/Petrol 6'5 200 Years Active: 1989-1993 Career Averages: 15.4 ppg 47% FG 44% 3PT FG<br /><br />Drazen Petrovic was a young player from Croatia that came to the NBA and instead of coming and going he became a gym rat and worked on his game nonstop. He put up shots and worked on his fundamentals, mechanics then worked on his ability to create shots off the dribble and create space. The end result? He became one of the best young superstars in the Eastern Conference and one of the deadliest knockdown shooters in the NBA.<br /><br />Drazen did nothing but improve on different facets of his game and his confidence grew in leaps and bounds. He died in a car accident overseas but there is no doubt that he would've been a force to contend for years to come in the NBA. Rest in peace, "Petro".<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2-l5h4aHxzvy23Ns7YsbxxoPZOVP9ZwAv1dKB8yIPECa_XR08d7zuC70IXgimgadL0cKXN4sRxu3EQP2ZABh1MdySh7OzBCmGeA4ki2HFeOxjyRktl8Xfg52zIFfj2HhB2eEm_pcqO6S5/s1600-h/tumblr_kr0w7vucxi1qzdpx4o1_400.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 216px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2-l5h4aHxzvy23Ns7YsbxxoPZOVP9ZwAv1dKB8yIPECa_XR08d7zuC70IXgimgadL0cKXN4sRxu3EQP2ZABh1MdySh7OzBCmGeA4ki2HFeOxjyRktl8Xfg52zIFfj2HhB2eEm_pcqO6S5/s320/tumblr_kr0w7vucxi1qzdpx4o1_400.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416729657639882210" border="0" /></a>Chris Mullin 6'7 215 Years Active: 1985-2001 Career Averages: 18.2 ppg 51% FG 38% 3PT FG<br /><br />He was a New York baller. An East Coast Larry Bird without the passing ability. Pure shooter. Big East titan. Apollo legend. You did not want to see the ball in Chris Mulllin's hands with any amount of time left on the clock. He had developed the ability to create space and get off his shot even with the tiniest bit of space by honing his game and dedicating hours and hours to improving at the gym.<br /><br />It wasn't enough for Chris Mullin to be able to be effective, he wanted to be on of the best. He hoped to dominate. As a part of the explosive trio Run TMC (Tim Hardaway, Mitch Ritchmond & Chris Mullin) he wanted to ascend to the top of the Western Conference and bring a championship to Oakland like Rick Barry did. He became an all great deadly shooter, a superstar and a two time Gold medalist instead.

When he was drafted by the lowly Sacramento Kings, he became a scoring point guard with the green light to shoot whenever and wherever he wanted. He took full advantage of that opportunity, too.<br /><br />When he was traded to a contender he adapted his game in order to better distribute the ball, penetrate when possible and to work and get open to knock down threes. He was not only one of the most reliable three point shooters during the regular season, but he was increasingly accurate when it really counted, the NBA playoffs.<br /><br />He was part of the deadly battery of three point shooters that included Vernon Maxwell, Mario Elie, Sam Cassell, Matt Bullard, Clyde Drexler and himself. When the smoke cleared, the Houston Rockets had won World Championships in 1994 & 1995. Heads were so sick of them that El-P exclaimed "Yo, muthafuck the Houston Rockets!" on the Company Flow jam "8 Steps To Perfection". Today "The Jet" is a part of the Emmy winning trio with Ernie Johnson & Charles Barkley on "Inside The NBA on TNT".<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB6s2Sz03ZQHwVXGNrfc18U39eQ8Nc5v8wMflEyNFD5TRfuREwtWYAvxhBwX-72X_mIMJXKYL1jSwB7rP5h5khHF51uj0kMnZ-3EQndKCaIbeBRT_aHVyBHyvM0r5CQi8ZyQVlua3LKWdA/s1600-h/hornacek16.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB6s2Sz03ZQHwVXGNrfc18U39eQ8Nc5v8wMflEyNFD5TRfuREwtWYAvxhBwX-72X_mIMJXKYL1jSwB7rP5h5khHF51uj0kMnZ-3EQndKCaIbeBRT_aHVyBHyvM0r5CQi8ZyQVlua3LKWdA/s320/hornacek16.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416731975732680626" border="0" /></a>Jeff Hornacek 6'3 190 Years Active: 1986-2000 Career Averages: 14.5 ppg 50% FG 40% 3PT FG<br /><br />Jeff Hornacek never really gets the props he deserves for being a deadly knockdown shooter. If you go back and look through his years with the Phoenix Suns & Utah Jazz and check his stats you'll see proof of that but the biggest proof you need is your memory. How many times did you see Jeff Hornacek knock down a clutch jumper or a big three at the expense of your team?<br /><br />Hornacek wasn't at all flashy, he just got the job done. Time and time again he was a solid performer and he helped the Utah Jazz get to the NBA Finals just to lose to Michael Jordan & his Bulls. Even Jeff Hornacek's son used to rock a Michael Jordan jersey around the house for God's sake! I'm gonna give respect to one of the deadliest shooters in the NBA who often made me scream at my TV.

Since he's a big guy, he can often wander of away from the basket but once he gets space and the ball? Swish! The best and worst thing about him is once he put down two in a row, he smells blood.<br /><br />If Peja goes a streak and gets hot, just tackle his ass because he'll use a ball fake or a step back to create space and use his height to see over his defender. The result? Three points. He was a nightmare matchup during his days as a Sacramento King and he was immortalized in song by N.O.R.E. when he said "My shooters don't miss like Stojakovich".

Even moreso than Larry Bird. Paul Pierce is the perfect storm, he's competitive, driven, focused, emotional, a leader, and he's a worker. He isn't afraid to take the big shot and he takes responsibility for his entire team.<br /><br />Paul Pierce works tirelessly on his game every Summer and stays focused during the season. At one point, Antoine Walker and Paul Pierce were one of the deadliest duos in the NBA. Paul Pierce learned about leadership and how to handle the media and the burden of being the team captain from him. He also learned where he was most effective on the court from him as well as Walker would feed him the ball where he could do the most damage.<br /><br />Paul Pierce's athleticism, strength, speed, ball handling, passing and driving ability make him a nightmare matchup. He can step back, up fake you, ball fake then use his dribbling ability to go around you and split defenders.<br /><br />This is why you have to give him some space...problem is, if you give him space he can just pull up and J you right in your grill or step back from three point land and splash! His jumping ability makes it so that even if you stay close and keep a hand in his face he'll still knock it down. There's a reason Shaquille O' Neal called the man "The Truth".<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOFrkgQBALTESg916AP2WmP1X3b5mGm8Dvd2sY4C5KuSW63KUMxAO51TENvC2Cg_OkNmogSmNbNeJqhGG8bOLwF7QRJ-fv9LIru1xQGMf7Yzy-h_iBzR-my8xrkkGJ7hC3UA049iHDsl4/s1600-h/aahb077_8x10-2006playoffaction~dirk-nowitzki-posters.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 258px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOFrkgQBALTESg916AP2WmP1X3b5mGm8Dvd2sY4C5KuSW63KUMxAO51TENvC2Cg_OkNmogSmNbNeJqhGG8bOLwF7QRJ-fv9LIru1xQGMf7Yzy-h_iBzR-my8xrkkGJ7hC3UA049iHDsl4/s320/aahb077_8x10-2006playoffaction~dirk-nowitzki-posters.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335529189246290370" border="0" /></a>Dirk Nowitzki 7'0 240 Years Active: 1998- Career Averages: 22.9 ppg 47% FG 38% 3PT FG<br /><br />The first time I ever saw footage of Dirk Nowitzki he was a 17 year old German pro that was about 6'9 or 6'10 at the time. He had an automatic jumper out to 25 feet, excellent footwork and he was pretty quick and athletic for a European player. I thought nothing of it because I heard that spiel before.<br /><br />Those players usually came to the NBA and got splinters in their ass or went to college and were just OK and never got drafted to the L. The next time I saw Dirk Nowitzki was at the Nike Hoop Summit the next Summer before the 1998 NBA Draft...he was even better than advertised. The top draft prospect couldn't stop him no matter what they tried. The Celtics wanted him but they had to settle for Paul Pierce instead.<br /><br />Imagine if Dirk Nowitzki would've come to Boston and played with Antoine Walker instead of Paul Pierce. Imagine if Dallas drafted Paul Pierce instead how different the NBA or the dynamics of those two cities would be now.<br /><br />A 7'0 shooter that can drive, shoot fadeaways, create his own shot off the dribble and finish at the rim even with contact? Sometimes I watch him drop 40 and he looks like he's not even working all that hard even after the jab steps, spin moves and ball fakes. What nickname would Shaq have given him?<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbLSQb4ywZy17EtLnMuXZJQ4kwQW1_9t2oRDQE5ALT-tkfhsPIC8fO1keELTlgEFJyf7lTWJRDPXbmOeSFG8f5cAJ-5WQp4ED8zRz0tLRdLLiOr35zcfTRF5nJDhTcoFW16ixVw3_AvQk/s1600-h/RayAllen.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbLSQb4ywZy17EtLnMuXZJQ4kwQW1_9t2oRDQE5ALT-tkfhsPIC8fO1keELTlgEFJyf7lTWJRDPXbmOeSFG8f5cAJ-5WQp4ED8zRz0tLRdLLiOr35zcfTRF5nJDhTcoFW16ixVw3_AvQk/s320/RayAllen.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335522166281346386" border="0" /></a>Ray Allen AKA Jesus Shuttlesworth 6'5 205 Years Active: 1996- Career Averages: 20.7 ppg 45% FG 40% 3PT FG<br /><br />Ray Allen is the end all be all of NBA shooters. When he catches the ball behind the line people either hold their breaths in anticipation, close their eyes or through their arms up to signify a three point goal. Some throw their arms up in exasperation because he was left open. In reality, Ray Allen can create his own shot off the dribble just as well as run through screens and picks to catch and shoot.<br /><br />To make things worse, Ray Allen can shoot threes in transition...it's his specialty! His point guard Rajon Rondo specializes in transition basketball...kerosene meet match, match meet kerosene. Fwoosh!<br /><br />The man also known as Sugar Ray [II] and Jesus Shuttlesworth needs only a few inches to get his shot off and with his perfect shooting forms he can be leaning backwards or forwards and/or get hit while shooting and still hit nothing but the bottom of the net. Put him on the court with Paul Pierce, Rasheed Wallace and Eddie House and you'd rather play Russian Roulette with half the chambers full instead.<br /><br />Also receiving votes: Danny Ainge, Dan Majerle, Eddie Johnson, Ricky Pierce, World B.

Why are we always trying to find and brand a new <a href="http://stuntinonprose.com/?p=1318">Hip Hop Saviour</a>? Every time we find someone to heap this burden on they always fail to live up to it’s lofty expectations. I’ve seen it happen to Rakim, KRS One, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, Ice Cube, Chuck D, all the way down to Treach, Notorious B.I.G, Nas, Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes, Ras Kass, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Canibus, Eminem down to Saigon, Papoose, Lupe Fiasco and now Jay Electronica.<br /><br />They were all supposed to singlehandedly “bring back” creativity, lyricism and excitement in Hip Hop. In effect, they were all expected to bring back “Hip Hop”. Can we cut this bullshit out, please? Why are we all so eager to put this burden on yet another emcees shoulders? So what if Jay Electronic did a live show and didn’t perform miracles on stage for an audience that were like “OK, justify all your press tonight on stage”.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgayuVIEl9Y1dZWSQXAQ_mB9VD4LSuWKtwb9DZE7_QKipE4hfzFOpiCWNRu-9D3u2VUjmizuBLglGhA-g4RWT_nsVF7KlSR-blJxUWxTeqii3Zt2-2-HPrqRBl6k27llQmx5mQlEDuue6w/s1600-h/jurb.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgayuVIEl9Y1dZWSQXAQ_mB9VD4LSuWKtwb9DZE7_QKipE4hfzFOpiCWNRu-9D3u2VUjmizuBLglGhA-g4RWT_nsVF7KlSR-blJxUWxTeqii3Zt2-2-HPrqRBl6k27llQmx5mQlEDuue6w/s320/jurb.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5184760941513729346" border="0" /></a>I remember seeing a recorded performance of Kool G.

They chucked the whole incident to the side and didn't focus on it because he had a body of work to refer to. That audience was not there to see Jay Electronica and he could've channelled LL Cool J circa 1986, it still would've done him no good.<br /><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDe2hyv6ea8a2q_2Pi5EJ6wCR_Vzaz3rlrnOdRLgOhhymcgj5BNOAmtktYt6kNp_XBFaHtHLEcsBYAmSzYy14I2Epb-08yMmirEMpFljT7HzMA4JGy5jIzIqgkbZqBybk3tmrfMU7asog/s1600-h/20821.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDe2hyv6ea8a2q_2Pi5EJ6wCR_Vzaz3rlrnOdRLgOhhymcgj5BNOAmtktYt6kNp_XBFaHtHLEcsBYAmSzYy14I2Epb-08yMmirEMpFljT7HzMA4JGy5jIzIqgkbZqBybk3tmrfMU7asog/s320/20821.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5184759713153082626" border="0" /></a>Jay Electronica is not going to turn water to wine, walk on water or move objects with his mind during his live performances.

This particular incident has all but been forgotten about as Jay Electronica recently finished a tour this Summer alongside Mos Def, Talib Kweli & DJ Hi-Tek among others to rave reviews. His output since includes "Swagger Jackson's Revenge", "Who's Gonna Save My Soul", "Not Too Far From Nothing", "Anakin's Prayer", "Hagler", "Exhibit A", "Exhibit B", "Suckas", "2 Step", "Dear Moleskine" and "Exhibit C" (many of which are just snippets or radio rips) from an as of yet unreleased project. As we approach 2010, Jay Electronica has the hottest song on iTunes & Amazon, his buzz is as big as ever but his album has no set release date as of yet (or label).<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAaXJmGdSwRR3txUahUWyWXpOABNyiKMLXimIve6h6PjifnLvMlFmARELIhaP_aTN6gDpx7m81Zzpn6ufn8568NtuWL0ZqrVPktqYwQmTCTokfcPk_4vZZ7xI5uRF6OLqpJ-U-q-x4S9yU/s1600-h/jayelectronica.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 255px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAaXJmGdSwRR3txUahUWyWXpOABNyiKMLXimIve6h6PjifnLvMlFmARELIhaP_aTN6gDpx7m81Zzpn6ufn8568NtuWL0ZqrVPktqYwQmTCTokfcPk_4vZZ7xI5uRF6OLqpJ-U-q-x4S9yU/s320/jayelectronica.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417703722947344178" border="0" /></a>Jay Electronica has been the "next dude" and "the anointed one" since about 2007.

I remember starting out facing cookies, stocking the baby food aisle, breaking down all of the cardboard and filling a trailer with it then ending the shift by facing the entire frozen food section by getting into the freezers with gloves on.<br /><br />I hated that job with a passion but I was a 23 year old college dropout who needed money to fuel my Hip Hop addiction. I was paid $7.34 an hour back then (1998), since minimum wage was $5.50 and this was my first ever real job I was lucky.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjwgWCCEPWYXsIB5fAb929RRRiiH2qa3naFbMhR8EZj4oppx5dB0ZN4cR9x-PK6H_kE_vrvMN8iUPZPz8QNWDCdoOLDTu0atuNDMh6N80L-03oz0AOszhsBKtZa57unBoFB8nelOR8xM8/s1600-h/blaze.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 160px; height: 185px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjwgWCCEPWYXsIB5fAb929RRRiiH2qa3naFbMhR8EZj4oppx5dB0ZN4cR9x-PK6H_kE_vrvMN8iUPZPz8QNWDCdoOLDTu0atuNDMh6N80L-03oz0AOszhsBKtZa57unBoFB8nelOR8xM8/s320/blaze.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278257772435568738" border="0" /></a>I used to frequent the record stores down the street from my house on my days off and pick up some magazines to read on my breaks. After about three months of my overnight job, I quit after one of the workers at Tower Records/Video said that I should apply there since no one who worked there knew as much about music as I did.<br /><br />I ended up getting a job on the Videos and Magazines floor instead and after a month there I knew everything there was to know about that floor. I used to pick up shifts on the second floor (Rock/Pop/Rap floor) covering for Berklee students that needed to finish projects or had gigs and studio time booked. Here is a list of some of my favorite magazines from that bygone era (1997-2002) that I still have a bunch of to this day in Adidas boxes in my room.

The first Scribble issue I ever bought was number 5 and by the time Scribble 7 was out, I was getting them for free.<br /><br />I know you're probably thinking that I got a cover tear...no, no I didn't. Scribble Magazine lived on in the annual Scribble Jams that didn't happen this year.

This mag and it's closest competitor "Life Sucks Die" were two sides of the same coin. They were both from Minneapolis but Gastman managed to make his magazine much more diverse and a tad less perverted than LSD even though they originally partnered with a porn company.<br /><br />"While You Were Sleeping" had some of the funniest features in it and it managed to find an audience. I'll never forget the ones with the Natalie Raitano and Julie Benz covers...ever. I'll never forget the ads featuring a naked girl in a tub full of caps. If you sent a self addressed stamped envelope filled with pron they sent you a prize.

There were no pictures of TV sirens or porn stars to distract you. Spreads consisted of some ill burner that took up an entire wall and there were a bunch of well written articles and interviews with the giants and legends of graf and aerosoul art.<br /><br />One of my favorite issues of "Graphotism" is the one with Goldie on the cover where they talk about his transition from graf legend to Drum N' Bass pioneer. Those joints stay underneath my bed in an Adidas shoebox to this day.

Prophet" was probably one of the hardest to find and most sought after graf mags of this era. You couldn't get copies in fast enough and once they finally showed up they were sold out the day they hit the racks. Oftentimes they'd disappear within hours of hitting the shelves.<br /><br />I only remember six issues being made but 7th Heaven Mailorder got a gang of work selling back issues, graf and B Boy videos (on VHS!), caps, tapes, CD's, markers and T shirts.

There was no part of Stress Magazine that wasn't airtight thanks to Alain "KET" Madiruena and his staff.<br /><br />If they wrote about graffiti they also addressed the legal side of getting caught. They dealt with real issues affecting urban youth and young adults in addition to the typical fare that other magazines did and they excelled at it.

For those of you new to this blog, I don’t rate albums on a scale or assign them a numerical value out of 5 or 10, instead I merely answer the all important question of “Is it worth buying or not?”. Here's how my recently revised "Cop It Or Not" ratings system breaks down below:<br /><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><h3 class="post-title entry-title"> </h3><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_GmtGX_QRN_NIGOwlS4djBT-8tGDEGFRJIy_726OQ475mcJxsdeYD0VM-uNu51PhnXFIRhHvDOiKmUOS6Um825dnEOhbbNBzNe6K0I77tu0-_AwO27qoMjpk97meiiEasFpm_V8SlIvU/s1600-h/wacknessposter-2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 217px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_GmtGX_QRN_NIGOwlS4djBT-8tGDEGFRJIy_726OQ475mcJxsdeYD0VM-uNu51PhnXFIRhHvDOiKmUOS6Um825dnEOhbbNBzNe6K0I77tu0-_AwO27qoMjpk97meiiEasFpm_V8SlIvU/s320/wacknessposter-2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330904785536284242" border="0" /></a>Opinions be damned.

Shuddup. "Flickin'", "Going For It", "All Night Long", "Understanding" and "Everyday" added much needed variety to the project.<br /><br />Don't be afraid of variety, people. If y'all heard the shit I listen to regularly your heads would explode on some "Scanners" shit if you think anything on this jawn was a huge stretch. I played this free album several times over the past week or so. I give it a recommended maybe & I can't wait to hear "The Land Of Make Believe" or even more Double 0 verses (?!) ("Life I Know").

A few too many songs based on Rap hooks & lyrics.

That Nicki Minaj song was awful, though. The Estelle jawn was annoying to say the least. Way to go, Robin Thicke! I hereby dub thee "The New Jon B.".

He sent me a super advance, mind you. WAV files. Untagged. He did send me a tracklist though. I made mp3 versions on my G5 Tower w/ iTunes, retagged it & added the cover art. I was the ONLY muthafucka in Boston banging these songs on his iPod Touch for about 3 weeks.<br /><br />I'm in awe at the consistency of Statik & his work ethic. This entire project is bananas & he has upcoming projects with Saigon, Termanology (as 1982), Bahamadia & his new LP "100 Proof (The Hangover)". Mos def. This is why I don't do my lists early.

The Marvel staff decided to finish off the Omega The Unknown storyline in the pages of "The Defenders" not too long afterwards.<br /><br />"Omega The Unknown" has since been resurrected by a Marvel writer that was a huge fan in his younger years. I just thought it was weird as all hell. If you read the Wikipedia page description you might say "Seriously?

Most DC war related comics (with the exception of 6 part mini series "All Out War") had long runs but "Men Of War" was canceled after only 26 issues.

The book touched on several topical subjects and explored every angle you could imagine a comic book (or any publication for that matter to). It was so complex and abstract that you needed to discuss it with people smarter than you to make sure you "caught" everything.

He was a thief and a highly skilled mercenary that was based out of Munden's Bar in a part known as The Pit. Grimjack quickly became one of the most popular underground comic book characters of the 80's and it's a damn shame that no one has ever thought to adapt Grimjack and his adventures into a series or film before.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig_J36bjRsUEk6peOterGGAuz0XmDU4dQ90GnqylUjAsTBE5xi9ByxX0s5FlfwQK6_Up5mm-tyDwQvFuaEEHPB8Sb3T-y9s6lFeYF2aG5Q6XsjNb3qCOnG3vJqfzH7AC6So6pxI3TtPUc2/s1600-h/starkfuture1230.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 209px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig_J36bjRsUEk6peOterGGAuz0XmDU4dQ90GnqylUjAsTBE5xi9ByxX0s5FlfwQK6_Up5mm-tyDwQvFuaEEHPB8Sb3T-y9s6lFeYF2aG5Q6XsjNb3qCOnG3vJqfzH7AC6So6pxI3TtPUc2/s320/starkfuture1230.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416403958857886146" border="0" /></a>Stark: Future (1986)<br /><br />Canadian independent comic book company Aircel produced a sci fi title that was popular with the indie art school/film school crowd. It was black & white, independent and the story was pretty interesting. It ran for 17 issues between 1986-1987. Later on, I remember that Aircel partnered up with Malibu Comics in order to survive it's financial issues. I haven't laid eyes on an issue in about 20 years.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU3EifVqrIkpOmDGz6p6cMbLu889kHnl9qQ4xltWyUgeNWq4mIhMPyGsmt6mmrjs5M49tbtC6V-w-3woToUZgh4Hwe2MwIJTxXnGOiav-SB1hs6Yo0whmmsJQNoGsfFDQoFCvoIQSryfG8/s1600-h/20921293088.1.GIF.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 209px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU3EifVqrIkpOmDGz6p6cMbLu889kHnl9qQ4xltWyUgeNWq4mIhMPyGsmt6mmrjs5M49tbtC6V-w-3woToUZgh4Hwe2MwIJTxXnGOiav-SB1hs6Yo0whmmsJQNoGsfFDQoFCvoIQSryfG8/s320/20921293088.1.GIF.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416404277596714738" border="0" /></a>D.P. 7 (1986)<br /><br />Marvel's New Universe line produced very few titles that survived the full 32 month existence of the imprint. I collected "Justice" (which I wrote about previously) but I had a few issues of "D.P. 7" laying around because it actually seemed interesting (unlike "Star Brand", "Kickers, Inc" or "Spitfire And The Troubleshooters"). The entire New Universe imprint's launch lineup was weaker than the Young Money lineup. The D.P. 7 storylines often dealt with social issues as they worked in a center for displaced paranormals and tackled subjects such as racism & HIV in it's pages.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix_3iR8Cp6FyV6iRyiL5uixx32KbkI1Q9vYFe5rcLWgtNAcH6E4jCLCfE5BRfYeW0fKgSUAVODCc4dq8I9A7ixFhkx_3UFijmhO5o9MtH7tw1JsI6CNy2TqT-O3WAf5smcoElRPM5QooH5/s1600-h/2da12035-d6d6-4612-867d-173c2560762b.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 207px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix_3iR8Cp6FyV6iRyiL5uixx32KbkI1Q9vYFe5rcLWgtNAcH6E4jCLCfE5BRfYeW0fKgSUAVODCc4dq8I9A7ixFhkx_3UFijmhO5o9MtH7tw1JsI6CNy2TqT-O3WAf5smcoElRPM5QooH5/s320/2da12035-d6d6-4612-867d-173c2560762b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416404591455062594" border="0" /></a>Meta-4 (1991)<br /><br />I'm not gonna lie, the biggest reason that Meta-4 sticks out in my head is because it only ran for three issues before First Comics folded. Marvel & DC had taken over and it wasn't until Image Comics was formed in 1992 that an independent comic book company could compete with the big two. If you can even find any back issues of Meta-4 around for cheap, cop 'em just for GP. I don't even remember the premise of Meta-4. I read issue #2 back in 1991 and haven't seen an issue since.<br /><br />One.Dart Adamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00878801052893199850noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6420176845224246684.post-85433880159268687782009-12-09T20:31:00.018-05:002009-12-19T09:24:30.646-05:00Dart Adams presents The Last Anime Post<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjADYGKLVNfv9yiaKPqgBt0hE7IlCQDp3BPMAGSR8rY_ytcKuv0xyWwUV1D6Tb6LvLUq9iQ57nvJ2QdmKaSc-PaAMx76viXHt_iegAFsdLxhXlC7dXRaxYvWdRfuGarfuHJmh0Q9hYoksrI/s1600-h/luke-cage_400.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 280px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjADYGKLVNfv9yiaKPqgBt0hE7IlCQDp3BPMAGSR8rY_ytcKuv0xyWwUV1D6Tb6LvLUq9iQ57nvJ2QdmKaSc-PaAMx76viXHt_iegAFsdLxhXlC7dXRaxYvWdRfuGarfuHJmh0Q9hYoksrI/s320/luke-cage_400.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415755058071280274" border="0" /></a>I've <a href="http://poisonousparagraphs.blogspot.com/2007/08/darts-rant-of-day-new-akira-dub-vs.html">done</a> <a href="http://poisonousparagraphs.blogspot.com/2007/09/darts-guide-to-essential-anime-movie.html">a gang</a> of <a href="http://poisonousparagraphs.blogspot.com/2007/12/darts-guide-to-essential-anime-series.html">anime related</a> <a href="http://poisonousparagraphs.blogspot.com/2008/11/dart-adams-presents-even-more-anime.html">posts in the past</a>. <a href="http://poisonousparagraphs.blogspot.com/2009/02/dart-adams-presents-evolution-of-cgi.html">Many of them</a> have been reposted on Nerd With Swag but this will be the final anime film post ever on Poisonous Paragraphs.

I've previously listed several hundred "cult" films over the three year life of this particular blog. Nowadays, a cult film can merely mean a flick that may or may not have done well in the box office or slipped under the radar because it's foreign but it ends up gaining favor with people that rent them through either <a href="http://www.netflix.com/">Netflix</a> or <a href="http://www.redbox.com/">Redbox</a>.

Kooley High "Kooley Is High"</span><br /><br />Kooley High deserves far more attention then they're currently receiving from the Hip Hop world at large.

This album will take about two hours to play through the first time just because you'll be repeating tracks and rewinding bars & verses. I had this album for months before it dropped and I couldn't stop playing it even when it dropped. Seriously, you should support quality Hip Hop & cop this album. No pressure, though. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Super-Ramen-Rocketship-Explicit/dp/B002RF0KLA/ref=sr_shvl_album_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1260215661&sr=301-1">Go</a>.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCwiXW9Ty-uSqKNrVgeOijguOdDpeJ2tjEpdvNaQDYz0WOQyPO7HaIZCKM_jldjQyyJtS0OILsknliJ0V6J18cn5njkJGzt4XWXVLvpO379dC5i1MpysQjUvAvk_YypF8TRsm9fLAi4B1K/s1600-h/imakemadbeats.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 301px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCwiXW9Ty-uSqKNrVgeOijguOdDpeJ2tjEpdvNaQDYz0WOQyPO7HaIZCKM_jldjQyyJtS0OILsknliJ0V6J18cn5njkJGzt4XWXVLvpO379dC5i1MpysQjUvAvk_YypF8TRsm9fLAi4B1K/s320/imakemadbeats.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412571571369150738" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">8.

They were tired and lethargic. After starting out the season looking like world beaters and making early season claims that they could be one of the greatest teams of all times they fell to Earth with a deafening thud much like the mythical character Icarus. They were 9-4 and had lost games to the Atlanta Hawks, Phoenix Suns and Orlando Magic. They'd lost 3 games at home already. Elite teams don't do that.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFOYpDMbQdnYmPGC_klp6Q14GSXTL4JDX6xKxRU3wv1_dPu8H3NUxiz81OeJHWA6ekX2yIend4BslMkGYOywDySloyv9sfXTyqABC3dxEs1WmmeUnzYfWOUjXA2uRbFuS_NpzmoFzvEPqX/s1600-h/c1492a370b70a31de67554a7cf377eaa-getty-90041150ls005_celtics_thunder.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 276px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFOYpDMbQdnYmPGC_klp6Q14GSXTL4JDX6xKxRU3wv1_dPu8H3NUxiz81OeJHWA6ekX2yIend4BslMkGYOywDySloyv9sfXTyqABC3dxEs1WmmeUnzYfWOUjXA2uRbFuS_NpzmoFzvEPqX/s320/c1492a370b70a31de67554a7cf377eaa-getty-90041150ls005_celtics_thunder.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411984390742676498" border="0" /></a>Kevin Garnett looked tentative on offense and not as explosive as he was previous to his knee injuries. Paul Pierce was carrying the team. Ray Allen seemed to be cruising. Rajon Rondo and Kendrick "The Hulk" Perkins stepped their games up and the bench additions of Rasheed Wallace, Marquis Daniels and Shelden Williams paid off earlier but now Rasheed Wallace and Eddie House couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat. The defense took a vacation and teams started hitting threes in bunches against them.

That game was won on a last second shot in OT by Kevin Garnett. Then they won another close game against the young athletic 76ers. They were on a winning streak after losing 3 out of 5 from November 11th to November 20th during a brutal early schedule. Slowly, their defensive intensity increased. Then people began to get their touch back. The ball began moving again. The Celtics were climbing the mountain again. The rest of the league began to take notice.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYiQArwp0IXlAbbE9VRUpBvRfWuK7Lvn-UhFnGQtnKyayAcs3sOO38kfcOlghX-CpBeIosgk7AcTfqXyjJR29h-5JY-i_MNqN_yRxEBjOF61UE-itK8mtvDieKsvcI9lqBNLdk6uSkDdFp/s1600-h/9a0306a9d08de9efc9ca58fda456086d-getty-90041150ls006_celtics_thunder.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 203px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYiQArwp0IXlAbbE9VRUpBvRfWuK7Lvn-UhFnGQtnKyayAcs3sOO38kfcOlghX-CpBeIosgk7AcTfqXyjJR29h-5JY-i_MNqN_yRxEBjOF61UE-itK8mtvDieKsvcI9lqBNLdk6uSkDdFp/s320/9a0306a9d08de9efc9ca58fda456086d-getty-90041150ls006_celtics_thunder.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411984535489604434" border="0" /></a>The Celtics have been playing impressive defense in December. Kevin Garnett has regained his explosiveness and has been shooting 70% in his past 5 games. He's catching alley oops from Rondo and finishing on the end of breaks like his old self again. Paul Pierce and Ray Allen are back in the fold and playing well as the Celtics finished up a 4-0 road trip to become a league best 9-1 on the road. The Celtics are currently riding a 7 game win streak and they hope to extend it further.

Keep sleeping on this dude. He's only 25 and he gets better each season. Soon, he'll be an All Star center in the East.

Radric Davis", Snoop Dogg "Malice In Wonderland" and Timbaland "Shock Value II". For those of you new to this blog, I don’t rate albums on a scale or assign them a numerical value out of 5 or 10, instead I merely answer the all important question of “Is it worth buying or not?”. Here's how my recently revised "Cop It Or Not" ratings system breaks down below:<br /><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><h3 class="post-title entry-title"> </h3><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_GmtGX_QRN_NIGOwlS4djBT-8tGDEGFRJIy_726OQ475mcJxsdeYD0VM-uNu51PhnXFIRhHvDOiKmUOS6Um825dnEOhbbNBzNe6K0I77tu0-_AwO27qoMjpk97meiiEasFpm_V8SlIvU/s1600-h/wacknessposter-2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 217px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_GmtGX_QRN_NIGOwlS4djBT-8tGDEGFRJIy_726OQ475mcJxsdeYD0VM-uNu51PhnXFIRhHvDOiKmUOS6Um825dnEOhbbNBzNe6K0I77tu0-_AwO27qoMjpk97meiiEasFpm_V8SlIvU/s320/wacknessposter-2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330904785536284242" border="0" /></a>Opinions be damned.
