Politics and Games

I love this .gif file and all that it stands for politics today has become a game of marketing slogans and scandals. We are not even given the illusion of choice in our society. I truly believe that the system set up by the founding fathers of America is in need of an overhaul. We are a different society than  a group of white men in 1700s, worrying about farms and catching measles. We need a change to the politics of today where the President is more worried about Iraq and other countries than our own.

I think we would be served better with a President that is focused on infastrcuture and interior issues. For the last 20 years  we have had forign policy focused Presidents. Our roads,internet connectivity,power stystems,education,heath care,insurance system, and taxation policies all could use modernization and attention.

I am not saying I have all the answers but nobody is even asking the questions.

Recent Music

Spank Rock

Spank Rock is Booty Bass evolved. Taking the mantle of 2live Crew,69 Boyz and other booty bass pioneers. He started in Philly and  merges Booty Bass with Electronic music and uses tongue in cheek lyrics to giet more than just your rump shakin’.Songs like “Backyard Betty” and “Bump”  are a must for bass lovers. The lyrics are raw and nasty just like Uncle Luke but the delivery is refined and not as silly. The album YOYOYOYOYO  is fun and I had it in heavy rotation for weeks after buying it. His latest project Bangers and Cash with Benny Blanco is an EP with 5  songs that harken more essence of 2live Crew. Songs like “B.O.O.T.A.Y. ” with up coming artists Santogold & Black Betty is my personal favorite.

Mattafix

Mattafix are a UK duo, made up of Marlon Roudette and Preetesh Hirji.The sound is hip-hop.reggae,jazz,afrobeat.The music is like a mix of Sade and old school hip hop beats with reggae mixed in sometimes. Definitly head nodding music.I found this album and I was blown away that this is not in the US yet. They really have a creativity that is rarely seen anymore in the US.
Noteable tracks are “11:30″ ,”Living Darfur”, “Things Have Changed”,”Big City Life”.

Alice Smith

Alice Smith is soul from the bottom up. So sweet and pungent is her voice. Jazzy and modern. You will fall in love and do not want to let go. Her sound is very personal, maybe too personal. Songs like “Gary’s Song”, or “Woodstock”.show her voice and talent.
