We owe to the Middle Ages the two worst inventions of humanity - romantic love and gunpowder. - Andre Maurois We're stinking filthy busy round here reading, cutting, welding, & greasing. The chain in those handcuffs is high-tensile steel. It'd take you ten minutes to hack through it with this. Now, if you're lucky, you could hack through your ankle in five minutes.

Now I don't want to speak for too long on this because the video pretty much speaks for itself. But let me drop a quick piece of knowledge on Chi Ali: Forget about those other child rap stars, I'm... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
When I was first discovering the joys of hip hop back in the early 90's, I looked up to many of the artists that I listened too. This was partly because, in all my teenage wisdom, I believed them to be wise old men (most kids think anyone who is over five years older than them is ancient, after all). There were a bunch of artists in my age bracket during my hip hop infancy of course, but I never really had that much time for them. Call it ageism. Call it jealousy. Whatever it was, most of [...]
For reasons I won't go into here, my father-in-law has been storing many of his surplus possessions at our house for a couple months. Amongst these possessions are three or four large wooden crates filled with vinyl records. Sounds like a pretty awesome scenario, I know, but the majority of the records are classical, which is perfectly fine, just not my bag. There are some pretty awesome treats though: some classic rock (Beatles, Eric Clapton, etc.), and some jazz - including that pretty amazing album right there on the left. Admittedly, [...]
Well, I'm not going to write a ton for this one, but I think a plethora of quality songs will make up for that. Last week I finally got around to listening to Lyrics Born's new mixtape , which I'd been sent info on a while ago. LB made a video for what I guess can be considered the first single (if mixtapes have singles, although I think it will appear on his next album as well), Funky Hit Records , and if the staccato drum track on that one doesn't make you think [...]
last Friday I said I was going to let someone else do a Fingerbanger Friday this week, and I got a few emails from you guys, and then Fuzzy called me up. This is a transcription of how our conversation went: Me: yo. Fuzzy: Waht are you listening to RIGHT NOW? Me: Down To Earf - Learn To Earn Fuzzy: God damn, then what the fucks all this introspective indie rock shit on your god damn blog? god damn. Me: All I hear is your mom [...]

The most epic rap battle of all time....ummm, well maybe not but that bass line is kinda dope and the lyrics are totally ridiculous. CHI ALI - CHI ALI Vs. VANILLA SHAKE Ooooh CHILD, this is damn funkay. Shock G is joined by the Luniz on this slinking, creeping indian flute heavy beat. DIGITAL UNDERGROUND - WE GOT MORE FEAT. LUNIZ
Chi, we hardly knew ya. I first heard Chi-Ali on the Black Sheep album (see "Pass The 403). I remember thinking "who the fuck was that kid" ?! Well, in 92 I got my answer. Chi-Ali released his own solo album The Fabulous Chi Ali , at the age of 14. Aside from maybe one cut, this album didn't ride the train of the "young rapper" or stink of a theme album. Instead, it just banged. This was no doubt thanks to the front to back [...]
