Finally, some new, albeit raw and unfinished, material from Jay Electronica. And apparently, he’s looking to listeners to provide him with feedback on whether or not he should scrap the tracks or continue to mold them into perfection–”bump em or dump em” over in the comments.
It’d be nice to get a proper release from this guy but, honestly, I kinda dig the way that he just pops out of nowhere and drops loose, random gems down to us mortals from time to time. That’s been a huge part of the allure to Jay Electronica from day one. I’m still waiting on that Act II Mixtape, by the way. For now, I’m still living off this bit of loose fire.
From the looks of the trailer, this Black Dynamite flick is gonna be official! A couple times I actually thought I was watching a genuine Blaxploitation piece from the 70’s. Peep the color, the costumes, the over top fight scenes and all the essential Blaxpo character types…they’ve got all the elements down to a tee! [H/T: LTL]
After holding me down strong over these last four years, it looks like my iBook G4 has finally reached its end. Right now it’s in this weird, unexpected error and crash-filled state situated somewhere between having the proverbial bucket in sight and setting up for the kick and proverbial bucket kicked and now spiraling towards the iAfterlife.
The great: I now have a genuine reason, one beyond the factors of design and cool, to upgrade to a Macbook Pro.
The good: I don’t stand to lose much if this joint flat lines in the next few hours (or days) since, luckily, I backed-up my critical data to an external drive a few months ago–you tend to foresee these situations, especially if you’re constantly testing the limits of your computer in unspeakable ways.
The bad: Well, there is no bad news, actually. However, I do have a question for the Mac massive among us:
glossy or matte?
Just for kicks:
Space Tourism
Video Teleconferencing
Holographic Teleportation
Robot Companions
WWW
Flying Cars
Hoverboards
Does that about sum it up? Let me know if I missed anything.
Although today may not be an official national holiday, and many of us are at the j-o handling business as usual, the feeling in the air right now is nothing short of electric. Head nods, daps, moments of shared laughter and tears. Everyone just seems to be a bit happier, prouder at the moment. And rightfully so. For we, the people of the United States, have just chosen our first African-American President: Barack Hussein Obama. Just reflecting on that point right now hits me pretty hard in the chest. No doubt, this is the greatest moment in our nation’s history and, to be a witness to it all is truly a blessing.
