So I know I'm a hoarder of music and various things(used to be video games), but note this, it's nothing overly physical that fills up the rooms of my house. Instead it's digitally related. Yes I am a hoarder in internet downloads. My brother has the courtesy to call me the Cut Chemist/DJ Shadow of the internet. (I liked that one alot) sounds like I am...
Jurassic 5 my favorite hip hop crew of all time, I was introduced to their "What's Golden" track from ATV Offroad Fury 2 back in my PS2 days. The crew contained 6 members, which 2 of them are DJs (one being DJ Nu-Mark, the other Cut Chemist) This crew inspired me to become a more appreciating listener to later hip hop tracks that came into mind. Here's an example:
Going back to digging, from my previous trip to Atlanta, Georgia I came back with $130 worth of music, of course I haven't had a chance to listen to all of it (I will in time). Most of those CDs/Vinyls are actually instinctively selected with little or no background information. However CDs/Vinyls such as Zero 7, The OJays, Little Richard are well known names. However I must stress the feeling of buying/paying for something which can be so easily obtained by free downloading certainly has a different feel to it. I guess what they say about the harder the work the sweeter the fruit is true.
From my point of view, digging can be researching before obtaining (so you don't waste your time or energy), or go for something completely new. This applies to music searching and to life, because we are never sure what's gonna happen next. But that's another story.
So here's a random song I want to throw for the readers. Enjoy

So Once Again It's The Year 2011
It's been awhile since I last updated this, for that I can explain. But more importantly, here's a gift for ya'll.
For those who are not familiar to Q-Tip, he is a producer DJ for the well known hip hop group - A Tribe Called Quest. And I must say his beats are smooth as silk. Just listen.
So what else? Recently I had a small conflict with a friend, but it's more one sided than mutual. The problem? She doesn't listen to the right things and makes the wrong decision. What makes me a judge in what's right or wrong for her? Simple, there's no reason for her to keep doing things that simply hurts herself over and over again and only to cry and question why later on. Also the ability to unable to understand the truth while constantly talking unwilling to "talk" about the truth, THAT is what annoys me.
Aside from that, I've been to ATL or Atlanta , Georgia for my spring break vacation to visit my brother (soul brother) What I've learned/accomplished/experienced there - was unfortunately unrecorded, but I should never forget it. The parties, talent shows/open mics would be the highlights, but the spirit of the "Renaissance Men" was the real catalyst to my motivation for my academic life and life in general. Look up "Morehouse College" when ya'll got the chance to. Sure it's predominantly black, but to be surrounded by the people that are capable in many different talents and incredible intelligence - surprisingly do not put my sorry ass to shame... Instead, I am even more motivated. Perhaps living a life of humility is not to be offended when shown a higher place, but to strive to reach a higher understanding and status.

Words accomplish nothing however, it should be my actions that does the showing. So a new trial begins and although much weren't accomplished, hopefully I'll be more than willing to live up to my own standards. With this I leave you all with this:
