This blog is an online account of the most difficult point in my life to date. We'll see what happens. I have a digital camera, a video camera, and what's in my head. Just so you know, the title of the blog is from the last track on the album "Illmatic" by Nas.

Hip Hop Lunch Break #1

Spilling your guts to the world via the internet is exhausting. 

Not so much physically, although carpal tunnel is no joke, but more emotionally and spiritually. Someone once asked me how I feel after I write my blog entries, and I told him, "It feels like throwing up. When you are in the midst of it, it can be wrenching and even painful, but you feel so much better once it is all out."

Anyway, one of the ways I recharge my spiritual batteries is by listening to good hip-hop music. Now I don't mean wackness like Soulja Boy, or "Swag Surfin". or whatever the hell else. I mean hip-hop like the kind that provided the soundtrack for most of my adolescence. 

It has been a long week for me, and I am just too depleted to write right now.Anyway, I figured while I am recharging, I figured I would share what I am vibing to. I hope you like it:

Common ft. Kanye West - "The Food"


Reflection Eternal - "The Blast"


Jean Grae - "Love Thirst"

I've come to your blog by way of Becky. Great track choices here. Especially the Kanye and talib tracks. (Must confess to not knowing Jean Grae) Always up for reading about hip-hop and comics so keep the chatter coming. I was very sorry to hear about the loss of Jess. From the accounts I've heard of her highschool days from Becky she must have been quite the character and I'm sad I only got to meet her perhaps once in passing. (I think I might have met you that time too.) Any who. I'm adding this blog to my RSS reader so you better keep it on up with the hot shit man.

Peace,
Mark
