Mobb Deep – Dog Shit ft. Nas

On the topic of Africa, what’s your take on the Libya situation right now?

I never saw Gaddafi as an enemy, like a deadly enemy that wanted to harm people for no reason. I kind of see him as someone who is misunderstood. I see him as someone whose, I think a revolution in Libya is important and I just hate to see that the people are against him or he has to be against, I hate to see any violence between him and his people, I just don’t like that.

Do you think its time for the West to intervene?

Intelligently yes, I think they could intervene so that there could be peace y’know and some understanding and sure if they can help.

Nas – Snitch Alibi

thnx Kisha

Although the email blast broke many of my unwritten rules, like using the term mash-up seriously and having an oxymoronic name (as you can see, we prefer self-righteousness and multiplicity) I followed the link on the strength of the last line which read “…I’ll let the music speak for itself”. 100 Akres Productions offers an ununique yet compelling blend of Nas (and AZ) vocals with Marley sounds. It managed to remind me that I am a Nas fan (something I forgot for the past decade or so), especially when the sometimes winded MC allows himself to fallback back a bit into (within?) great music, instead of thinking his lyrics are enough to compensate for snoozie, scared-to-sample production. Peace to Fresh.

Nas & Bob Marley – Relatives Abroad

Link

Luke Fox loves rap music. And when Fox writes about rap, he’s not musing about poetry. He’s also not adoringly worshipping idols. He simply loves the music, and he asks the questions someone who loves the music would ask. Talking to and about Ice-T, Nas, Jay-Z, Ludacris, Gang Starr, Kanye West, El-P, MF Doom, Kool G Rap, Common, and dead prez, Fox takes on the egos and the attitudes, connecting the past with the present, the pop with the peculiar. In these eleven candid interviews, Fox not only presents a small chunk of his extensive freelance career, he paints a coherent portrait of hip-hop at a crossroads, before and after the millennium.
