zia records...what the hell?

Due to "comment moderation" on their blog I'm sure my comment I just posted will never see the light of day...so here it is; for the whole world to see...

Uhhhh...your entire blog is dedicated to one album from one artist?? I mean c'mon, the blog is called Nas Controversy? Dude…are you guys kidding? Boy, this guy is right...after years and years of being the coolest thing in town, you guys suck now. Thought you were above becoming another money machine…that you were dedicated to the local music scene and keeping the old indie record store vibe alive. Apparently you’re just another cog in the man’s machine. It’s pathetic and so is your so called "blog".

I expected so much more from you. Congrats Zia, another customer bites the dust.

PS Little advice: Next time, use spell-check...it's the little button with ABC and the checkmark under it...

I am currently researching the validity of Mr. Cafferty's statement...I will post my findings as they occur...

what I watched today

Okay, not exactly watched but you get my point...

Nas - Sly Fox (FOX News Diss)
New Release - June 27, 2008

Lyrics
So we look at what's going on -- this as an EXTREME aggression, um
I'm also hearing about it from EVERYWHERE!
It's-it's on the islands, it's on the continent, it's here: it's everywhere!
And this is, if you will, a WAR -- An all out assault by...

The sly fox
Cyclops
We locked
In the idiot box
The video slots
Broadcast
The Waco Davidian plots
They own YouTube, Myspace
When this ignorant shit gon' stop?
They monopolizing news
Your views
And the channel you choose
Propaganda
Visual cancer
The eye
In the sky
Number five
On the dial
secret agenda
Frequency antenna
Doctor mind bender
Remote control
soul
Controller
Your brain holder
Slave culture
Game's over
What's a Fox characteristic?
Slick shit
Sensin'
Misinformation
Pimp the station
Over stimulation
Reception
Deception
Comcast digital Satan
The Fox has a bushy tail
And Bush tells
Lies and Foxtrots
So I don't know what's real
_________________________________

[Chorus]
Watch what you watchin'
Fox keeps feeding us toxins
Stop sleeping
Start thinking
Outside of the box and
Unplug from The Matrix doctrine
But watch what you say Big Brother is watchin'

Watch what you watchin'
Fox keeps feeding us toxins
Stop sleeping
Start thinking
Outside of the box and
Unplug from The Matrix doctrine
But watch what you say Fox 5 is watchin'

The Fear Factor got you all rattled up
O' Reilly
Oh really?
No rally needed
I'll tie you up
Network for child predators, settin' 'em up
Myspace pimps, hoes, and sluts
Ya'll exploit rap culture, then ya'll flip on us
And you own the post, and ya'll shit on us
What is they net worth?
They gonna try to censor my next verse?
Throw 'em off the roof neck first
While I'm clicking my cursor
Reading blogs about the pressure they put on Universal
It gets worse while I'm clicking my mouse
While they kickin' my house
They figured us out
Why a nigga go south
It's either he caught a body, no sleep they watchin'!
I watch CBS
And I See B.S.!
Tryin' to track us down with GPS
Make a nigga wanna invest in PBS

[Chorus]

They say I'm all about murder-murder and kill-kill
But what about Grindhouse and Kill Bill?
What about Cheney and Halliburton?
The backdoor deals
On oil fields
How's Nas the most violent person?
Ya'll don't know talent if it hit you
Bringin' up my criminal possession charges with a pistol
I use Viacom
As my firearm
And let the lyrics split you
Who do you rely upon?
They shoot shells at Leviathan
I'm dealing with the higher form
Fuck if you care how I write a poem?
Only Fox that I love was the red one
Only black man that Fox loves is in jail or a dead one!
Red rum
Political bedlam
Don't let the hype into your eyes and ear drum
Murdoch on Fox
Not 18 with Barracas
And he hate Barack cause
He march with the marchers

I pledge allegiance to the fair and balanced truth.
Not the biased truth
Not the liar's truth
But the highest truth
I will not be deceived
nor will I believe
In the Propaganda
I will not fall for the Okey-Doke
I am tuned-in

Watch, cause they're watching
Watch what you're watching
Better watch, cause they're watching
Watch what you're watching
Me-Me-Media
Misleading ya
Watch what you're watchin'

"Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them, and you have their shoes." - Frieda Norris

MONDAY JUNE 30, 2008

"Baracknophobia. It is defined as the irrational fear of hope. The irrational fear that behind the mild-mannered facade, Barack Obama is intent on enslaving the white race. It‘s true. Wake up, white people.The sickness manifests itself mostly through rumor often in the form of the only e-mail that your grandmother has ever been able to successfully forward." - Jon Stewart - The Daily Show, June 16, 2008

"If you don't get everything you want, think of the things you don't get that you don't want." - Oscar Wilde

"Loud doesn't mean right.” - Phil Donahue - O'Reilly Factor, Sept. 23, 2005

WTF¿

"The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians." - Pat Robertson - 1992

"Well, it's not like we go over to London and expect them to speak English." - Ed Cross - 2006 (during a discussion as to whether or not public schools, offices, etc. should allow bilingual signs, forms and translators for the people who come to America to live and cannot communicate with a majority of the population.)

Wow.

perhaps I'm no better than...

Those who know me know that I am a very passionate person. I'm passionate about my family, my work, my community and my country. Over the past few years I have noticed a change in my attitude when having dealings with others whom I may consider intolerant and/or ignorant. Perhaps it’s age or my evolving awareness of our society and its imperfections. After a particular exchange I engaged in with two gentlemen last evening who hold different views than mine, I found myself thinking about it as I laid in bed. "Am I any better than those that I rail against?" I try to be. Okay, not better per se, although I do make an exerted effort to not get caught up in negativity and accusations. Sometimes, for a passionate person, this can prove to be more difficult then I'd prefer.

This year's election has the entire country talking. The pundits are salivating…chewing on every word spoken by the campaigns and regurgitating it on every venue possible. Those of us who are following this election closely have to be aware not to get caught up in their caustic rhetoric. The tendency to do so can be great.

So as I go on with my day, I keep the values I teach my children in my head and my heart…everyone is unique and that the differences that we have are what make mankind interesting. How boring the world would be if we were all the same.

Thank you Someguy - retiring the Dawg for a while and Admiral Sir John. Thank you for reminding me of the person that I fear of becoming...biased and jaded by a process that is as old as our country.

"Any fool can criticize, condemn & complain & most fools do."

- Benjamin Franklin
