Just to play devil’s advocate:

Let’s for one second agree that immigration is a crime and that the people who employ these immigrants for pennies on the dollar are innocent. Lets ignore the fact that the economy would go into shock if we lost the cheap labor provided by immigrants from Asia Africa and South America (not all immigrants are Mexicans. Stop giving the quote unquote enemy the same face).

If you subscribe to this logic then even you, being a reasonable person cannot pretend to see justice in housing and jailing innocent children for committing no crime, apart from being born to the wrong side of the economic see-saw. The Bush era policy on everything from economics to war has had a deep seeded impact on our way of living. I can only imagine what the landscape of this country will look like in twenty years.

The Least of These - Trailer (by indiepixfilms)

VIDEO: The Least of These explores one of the most controversial aspects of American immigration policy: family detention. As part of the Bush administration policy to end what they termed the catch and release of undocumented immigrants, the U.S. government opened the T. Don Hutto Residential Center in May 2006 as a prototype family detention facility. The facility is a former medium-security prison in central Texas operated by CCA, the largest private prison operator in the country. The facility houses immigrant children and their parents from all over the world who are awaiting asylum or deportation. 

Sigh.

Raekwon and Ghostface @ Late Nite with Jimmy Fallon X Rock Star

Yo no shots but ghost looking wild stiff like he trying to keep from falling out. Rae look like that dude in front of the bodega politickin’ about boxing and who got the biggest sacks. Yet and still Rae X Ghost > Most.

No idea what any of that meant?

It’s cool here’s a translation:

I mean no offense but that gentleman in the yellow seems to be inebriated, and his associate reminds me of a rapscallion I frequently encounter at the market with a taste for pugilism  and herbal remedies.

I do however fancy the music they create over those of their peers.

MK9 Noob Saibot Revealed

The last MK I messed with was Trilogy on Nintendo 64 so needless to say I’ve been neglecting the fighting franchise that first sparked my interest in mutilation and impaling people with rope spears, (activities I still do on my off time) but this is shaping up to be one of their best releases to date. The Noob Saibot links look crazy and the graphics X design have been stepped up since DC X MK.

Apollo The Great feat. Sean Price - “Struggle No More”

This is that Timberland’s and Black hoodie music, single (Loosie) Newport from the bodega rap. The kinda song that merits more than a couple rewinds. With the way Hip Hop has shifted from street corners and real life to strangeness and pop like glamor grammar, its good to see songs like struggle no more put it all back into perspective.

The same formula that defines real hip hop is embedded in its DNA. Boom bap, well crafted lyrics and subject matter with relevance. Quality has no expiration date and this here is quality music. Sean Price (P!) on the assist is not a bad look either.

The Kid Daytona - Air Jordan feat. Harlem’s Cash {prod. The Government}

This.

His verse at the end is  so visual:

“Give me the rock and clear it out its the all star game and Isaiah Trying to freeze me out. Fuck haters they dont get a reaction got shooters on the baseline Armstrong and Paxton You heard I’m so fly i could shit on a birds head Last night dropped sixty on bird’s head

But we still lost the game so its back to the gym jumpshots and sprints… Yeah they gon’ remember my name never relaxed on the bench with my image in cement cant be a champion wit’ no campionship watch me bathe in champagne and give the trophy a kiss… Like Mike” 

The audio at the end is crazy too. some of the fondest memories watching Mike doing his thing, collecting cards, working at my uncle shop all summer to save enough for some j’s, only to get em’ scuffed at school the  next day. But the feeling… I swear i could do Kung Fu, Karate, Jujitsu and play ball with j’s.
