Canibus - Can-I-Bus (1998)

(03:14:01 PM) Noah: I style with them hammers x4,
I wild with your nana x2,
Doggie style on the hamper x2,

(04:36:44 PM) Noah: Hey so I'm listening to Can-I-Bus for the first time in years
(04:36:56 PM) Noah: Canibus is just so fucking pretentious with the scientific shit, it's amazing
(04:37:29 PM) Noah: "You don't even know the sequences to the human genome project", as if he knows
(04:37:48 PM) Noah: I guess all of his puffing just seemed so impressive in 7th grade
(04:37:58 PM) Noah: Puffery MCs

Edit: I still love Canibus, partly for the reasons listed above. No one does the science-in-rap thing better. The beef between Bis and LL was one of the most exciting events during my childhood, in relation to hip-hop. His debut album was probably my first big musically disappointment. Discovering 2000 B.C. when I thought Canibus had disappeared from the face of the earth was incredible. Popping the disc into my cd player and realizing that even though Canibus wasn't the second coming of Rakim that everyone expected, but that he was something much more than a flash in the pan, has been interesting.

Juvenile - Reality Check

(08:01:58 PM) Noah: Trying to listen to Juve's "reality check"
(08:02:00 PM) Noah: wish me luck
(08:02:44 PM) Useff: haha
(08:02:47 PM) Useff: good luck, man
(08:02:55 PM) Useff: Apparently it has some pretty horrible songs
(08:03:26 PM) Useff: oh yeah, john k.'s blog has unaired ren & stimpy clips
(08:03:35 PM) Noah: like the ones you showed me a while ago?
(08:03:54 PM) Useff: yeah but more recent
(08:03:59 PM) Useff: not the same ones
(08:04:02 PM) Useff: taking a shower now
(08:04:06 PM) Noah: cool
(08:05:39 PM) Noah: downside of this feeling: I'm drinking a beer now, and I can't concentrate on more than one thing at a time
(08:05:49 PM) Noah: so if you're relaxed and you're drinking beer, expect your focus to drop
(08:06:19 PM) Noah: which just might be the opposite of when I'm getting a slight buzz otherwise: then I am hypersensitive about everything at once (being totally wasted is another thing entirely)
(08:12:58 PM) Noah: I may have heahrd 2 good songs on this whole mother fucker
(08:13:27 PM) Noah: I think he sampled Jay - Z's voice from dust your shoulders off in this song
(08:13:42 PM) Noah: and somehow this producer just changed that beat
(08:13:46 PM) Noah: it's just bad all over
(08:16:30 PM) Useff: sounds like a real winner
(08:17:07 PM) Noah: whoever said this album was good is bugged in the fucking brain
(08:17:27 PM) Noah: http://pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/j/juvenile/reality-check.shtml HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
(08:17:38 PM) Useff: Waldo said a couple songs were good but some of the songs are the worst ever
(08:17:47 PM) Useff: nice link
(08:18:04 PM) Noah: this review says sets go up is the best song on the album
(08:18:10 PM) Noah: I skipped that about 30 seconds in
(08:18:13 PM) Noah: I'm done w/ this.
(08:18:15 PM) Useff: haha

New Mobb Deep Record.

9/16 tracks feature G-Unit members.

It's not really a quality album if you're like me and don't like G-Unit.

But there are a few really good tracks on here. Prodigy and Havoc (Havoc moreso) come correct on a few tracks, even some of those with G-Unit on them.

Get it if you ever loved the Mobb and want to see them continue to make records. Hopefully they aren't locked into a contract with G-Unit until they're in their respective gunmetal-plated graves.

Back on top.

101% Noah.

The Other Woman:

Written by Jesse Mae Robinson:
...as sung by Nina Simone.


The other woman finds time to manicure her nails
The other woman is perfect where her rival fails
And she’s never seen with pin curls in her hair

The other woman enchantes her clothes with french perfume
The other woman keeps fresh cut flowers in each room
There are never toys that’s scattered everywhere

And when her baby comes to call
He’ll find her waiting like a lonesome queen
Cos when she’s by his side
It’s such a change from old routine

But the other woman will always cry herself to sleep
The other woman will never have his love to keep
And as the years go by the other woman
Will spend her life alone

Hahahahahahahahahaha

Oh man, working for Best Buy was a riot. And by riot, I mean a pain in the ass at times. But anyway, check out this news story. I will probably go back to work there in the summer if I can't figure anything else out too.

I feel like science has made great strides and leaps in the last week or so.

Every time I turn round, something cool is happening in the world of science. Theories are being proposed, disproven, reworked, and great new information is surfacing on the composition of our world and our universe. It's almost like science fiction.

CSW Insight:

The Charter School of Wilmington: maybe the only high school where it was a good joke to convert your word document to a PDF and then hand it in on a disk

Or write a paper in webdings.

Is this fucking shit Real?

New dinosaur a turkey

Intelligent Design Doomed. Dude on South College Avenue, stick this in your fucking bible and smoke it.

Missing Link of Evolution Found; Intelligent Design Be Damned

Someone took all the motherfucking MELANGE out of life.

Melange is spice, dumbasses. It's not so hard. When I clap, you sing.

Put that in your Solo cup and drink it.

Two Upcoming Sequels That Seems Unnecessary:

Evan Almighty
Ocean's 13

I nearly spit out my milk when I heard about Ocean's 13. It sounds like a joke. This is the kind of thing people make fun of when they talk about way too many sequels being produced.
