He's back!

Welcome back to Philly AI. I wish the best for you and that you're able to be the AI that we all admired killin' it in Philly.

Surgical Gloves

This video is on hit just like the album was. Easily the best hip hop album of 2009. Very underrated.

Enjoy!

Hi-Jynx Music Monday Mixtape

#NT artists continue to drop the dopest mixtapes. Here's one from Hi-Jynx. Dude's style is definitely something that I'm feeling. His version of Killin' really took Wale's Chillin to another level. Heck, I personally think he ripped it better than Wale did. Just sayin'. The track that really stands out to me though is his joint, Jordans & A Gold Chain, which he did with another fellow #NTer, G.O.D. Jewels. The song is definitely on it's own level, especially being fellow #NTers. I'm sure a quite a few of you Jordan fans and sneakerheads can appreciate this dope track.

But do yourself a favor, and download this mixtape. Stray away from the norm for once and check out these artists who are putting out great music. I sure did, and I'm enjoying every joint off of it.

A long time coming...

I can't recall the last time I actually took the time to post a blog, let alone write anything down. After a long hiatus, I've decided to come back and start writing again. As far as I've been, been doing a lot of school work. I'm a full time student this semester, and to say the least, it's been fun and stressful all at the same time. Last time I was a full time student would have to be my Fall 2001 semester at SDSU which I really didn't do quite well in leading me to get thrown out via academic probation.

Well, another main reason why I've wanted to start writing again is mainly due to the fact that I'm turning 28 this coming Thursday. I'm getting old. I swear, I started blogging back in 2003 or so. Reflecting on my old blogs and how much I've grown in 6 years has just put me in a sentimental mood and has caused me to look to what my future is going to be.

There's been a lot on my mind, especially in regards to my future. I've been heavily thinking about enlisting in the military. Don't get me wrong, the goal is to finish school, but I just feel, in regards to a financial situation and also having a foundation as an adult, I know that the Navy would be able to help me get to where I want to be. Last time I thought about joining the Navy was back in 2004. My mother wouldn't let me do it at all. I still remember her crying telling me to just finish school first.

Fast forward 5 years later, I think it would be best for me to go ahead and make this decision in enlisting. I still have to have a serious discussion with my parents about it, but I just want to give them a heads up and let them know how I feel. I don't have a girlfriend. I don't have any kids. I'm getting older and nothing isn't really rolling the way I want it to. Don't get me wrong, the wheels are turning but I'm just not satisfied as where I want to be in regards to progress. I'm going to miss my family and friends dearly in San Diego, but I just feel that I need to get out and experience the world for myself. To get out of this box, and live a life that God has designed for me.

My blogs have always been set up from a writing perspective and a deeper look into who I really am as a person rather than just a twitter whore or some other type of social network media geek.
Like all my friends know, my blog is the best way to understand who I really am and how I think. I'm not one to really tell people publicly how I feel. I keep a facade and put up a front really well. It's a gift as a scorpio that we're really known for.

So here's the return of the blog! Hello everyone! I'm back!

Change...

This blog is going to have a major overhaul content wise. I know it's been a while since I last blogged but stay tuned...

Do yourself a favor...

Seriously, if you haven't bought this album, you need to. Sure, I've got a leaked copy, but there's nothing stopping me from buying a hard copy to support. This is what hip hop needed. I'm not going to knock Jay-Z's Blueprint 3 too hard because that was a pretty solid album. Didn't necessarily knock me out of my shoes like OB4CL2 did, but it was solid.

But when you compare the two, it's like comparing The Godfather to the Jonas Brothers, it's that hard in my opinion. This album pretty much took the elements of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx and was fused with 2009. Raekwon didn't have to sacrifice or change up his sound just to suit this generation's culture of hip hop. He kept it original yet fresh.

Thank you Raekwon. Thank you Rza. Thank you Wu-tang.
