It's SUMMERTIME. And the livin' is easy. Relatively speaking. Yeah, there's still rent, bills, air conditioner eff ups, your nasty neighbors, and THE MAN. But eff it. It's summertime and the livin' is EASY. Now that our exams are over (temporarily), Biochemical Slang is back on its grizzly. Supremacy: watch your back. The truth is out there. Biochemical Slang wants to know: WHERE THE EFF WOULD [...]

...the light? The end? June 14th is just around the corner. That means Biochemical Slang will be back in business. That also means Vik gets to return to the REAL WORLD. Apparently, even as you ignore the world, time STILL MOVES FORWARD. HOLLA at Biochemical Slang at CENTRAL PARK on June 16th. The legendary TELEVISION is playing what is rumored to be their last show. For those that don't know, it's BIGGER than just [...]

DON'T LET THE JONESES GET YOU DOWN - The Temptations The Joneses? They're the LAST of my worries. You know how it is. The Temptations need to update this track for the 2-double-0-seven. The Joneses have been coastin' for years. Long live SUPREMACY ACADEMIA!

...THIS GUY. So please bear with me as I prepare to take my BOARD EXAMS. Updates will be less frequent until June 14th. Be sure to visit my Internets family, located to your right.

Keith LeBlanc (feat Malcolm X) - NO SELL OUT Donny Hathaway - Someday We'll All Be Free Above image courtesy of the " Official Malcom X Website " Did you know that this past Saturday was Malcolm X's 82nd birthday? If not, I can empathize. There were no flags-at-half-mast. No video montages on the local news. No words of remembrance from our "civil rights leaders." No official national recognition. Just another [...]

I'll Just KEEP Tryin' - Roy Ayers Supremacy still lives! Did you notice the dude's broken graduated cylinder? Peep the following quote from this article: "Africa's best universities, the grand institutions that educated a revolutionary generation of nation builders and statesmen, doctors and engineers, writers and intellectuals, are collapsing. It is partly a self-inflicted crisis of mismanagement and neglect, but it is also the result of international development policies that for decades have favored basic education over higher learning [...]

One SEGWAY at a time, snitches! The NYPD is for the people. Say, "Hi, how ya doing, officer?" as they roll by. I can't make this stuff up, people. RESPIRATION (Pete Rock Remix) - Black Star (feat Black Thought)

FINALLY. People are beginning to take some sort of stance . Yeah, people are still dying OVER THERE. Yes, China STAYS POURING MONEY into Sudan. Yes, China is hosting the 2008 Summer Olympics. Biochemical Slang is here to remind you: History REPEATS itself . Major props goes to Ira Newble for spearheading the "Bring the Olympic Dream to Darfur" campaign. Major anti-props go to [...]

Nas - I Gave You Power Damian Marley - It Was Written Can you imagine a NEW YORK CITY without guns? Can you imagine a PHILADELPHIA, an OAKLAND, or an EAST ST. LOUIS without guns? Probably not. How sad is that? It's like guns have become a part of our fabric of reality. Woven into our collective consciousness, to the point that the world seems strange without them. How odd would it [...]

Why should we invest in alternative fuel sources? To ensure a hospitable environment for our future generations? To become a more self-reliant people? To make us leave our houses using our TWO FEET, rather than an automobile? To improve our nation's air quality and, ultimately, our nation's health? No, no, no, and no. Why should we invest in alternative fuel sources? G DUBBZ had this to say: "Our dependence on oil creates a threat to America's national security [...]

Outkast - Git Up, Git Out Buddy Miles - Dreams Special Ed - I Got it Made Let's be real. If you're in your teens and twenties, social security is an exercise in futility. It's something you just have to do. Just don't expect anything in return. NEWSFLASH: You're not gonna get anything back. You might as well deal with that fact NOW. Right NOW! [...]

Watch it here . Watch Baron Davis working at McDonalds here . Was this a TOP TEN dunk?

Biochemical Slang wishes all of the MOTHER'S out there an early Happy Mother's Day . Of course, it's mother's day EVERY DAY, but that's for another post. Biochemical Slang wishes all of you sorry fools that forgot about MOTHER'S day the best of luck. You have two more days. It was your mother that always told you, "It's the thought that counts." Hold her to it. Make her a card. Make her dinner. Make [...]

Pharoahe Monche - Gun Draws Harlem River Drive - If (We Had Peace Today) Bushwick Bill - Dollars and Sense It's a testament to these days and times: GUNS have just about as many rights as we do. We all know that guns don't kill people. People WITH guns kill people. So, why not just make it more difficult to get a gun? If it were only so [...]

Tupac - Shorty Wanna Be A Thug Hank Crawford - Wildflower Ed OG - Life of a Kid in the Ghetto Donny Hathaway - Little Ghetto Boy (live) I was walking home the other night and this little kid, looking smug as ever, pulled his Huffy up next to me. I'm not one of those kids-these-days type dudes, but I was expecting the little dude to [...]

Eff the SOAP OPERAS that have become modern day cRAP music . Eff the radio stations that have become marketing pawns for the record companies. Eff corporate America for defining "urban" so precisely. If you don't fit the mold, you just don't fit in. Don't fret. FISHBONE is STILL red hot! Fishbone is still channeling Parliament's MOTHER SHIP. Fishbone is still shattering musical boundaries. Peep the best tracks of their (somewhat) new album Still Stuck in Your Throat : Behind Closed Doors [...]

At first, it seems like one of those studies with obvious conclusions: when soldiers experience lengthy and repeated tours of duty, they begin to suffer both mental and physical consequences . Then we find out there's more: 30% of the troops in close combat missions are at increased risk for long-term mental and psychological problems. More than 40% of our troops support the idea of torture . More than 10% of our troops report harming Iraqi civilians and property, when [...]

Above image courtesy of POPLICKS dot com . Oliver Sain track courtesy of JTHYME . Biochemical Slang has been about the underdog since day one. Eff the favorite. Eff the predestined. Eff the expected. This also gives me a chance to RE-UP some California tracks and post some BONUS California tracks. Enjoy, snitches. Edwin Starr - California Soul Oliver Sain - California Sunset [...]

G DUBBZ is poppin' Coronas today. Join him. He even brought out the maintain-stereotypes-mariachi- band. Ole! Where's the Taco Bell? And don't forget G DUBBZ's favorite landscaper, Alberto. He's STILL maintaining that pristine, green White House South lawn. The US Department of Justice lawn? Not so much. And what would a Mexican celebration be without mentioning [...]

Main Source - Just a Friendly Game of Baseball (Bonus version) Bob Dylan - Only a PAWN in THEIR Game NEWSFLASH! Supremacy permeates every corner of our society! Even sports! Even sports that are NUMERICALLY dominated by Black men. Don't get it twisted. What you SEE isn't what you GET. Yeah, Black men are runnin' up and down the court, but who's holdin' the marionette strings? Who's signin' the checks? Who's the [...]
