Hidey Ho from the top of the world. It's your boy back on the keys giving you the real and honest truth. I come to you guys with a little of a heavy heart. We lost yet another musician too soon. Singer/songwriter Amy Winehouse was found dead in her apartment this morning. While they don't have a cause of death just yet many are speculating she finally lost her battle with her demons and overdosed. Winehouse was 27 years old, that alone is sad but that fact puts her in a rather elite and sad group called The 27 Forever Club.

The 27 Forever Club is a list of musicians that passed away at the tender age of 27. The official list has 15 artist but the most notable ones are Brian Jones(Rolling Stones), Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, and now Amy Winehouse. All these artist have an eerie similar lifestyle. They all lived that Rock n Roll life of sex, drugs, and rock n roll. Also they all had a serious self-esteem problems. Kurt Cobain fought bouts of depression, Joplin never thought she was pretty enough, Jim Morrison was looking for that family, freedom, and acceptance, Brian Jones had many mood swings which we know as being Bi-Polar now, Jimi was looking for that sense of love, and Winehouse just could not escape the demons in her life. All came from a broken home and all changed the way we listen and look at music.

Now that we got y'all up to date on them here is my opinion. I believe that all of them were a victim of there success. There is no way that no one in their camps that didn't notice the self-destruction of these artist. I mean if us the public saw it why couldn't they? I mean seriously just because they made incredible music that redefined their generation we suppose to overlook that they were killing themselves. Brian Jones started the Rolling Stones and he did every drug under the sun and when it got out of control what they do get him help nope dismissed him from the group. Jimi kept acid tabs in his bandanna on stage, no one stopped him. Janis Joplin liver was a liquor store and no one said a thing. Cobain and Winehouse took it to the next level and even wrote songs about their pain that went ignored.

On the bright side their names will go down in history for their music just as much as their demise. The Rolling Stones are legends in music they still tour today. Jimi Hendrix is loved worldwide, thousands flock to his grave site a year and is considered by many as the greatest guitarist of all time. The Doors are legends in their own right, many bands cover their songs. Janis Joplin paved the way women were viewed in music, which open doors for artist like Pink, Eve, Madonna, and many opinionated women. Nirvana was the group that kept the grunge movement moving. After Cobain's death the group disbanded and and made two incredible groups Foo Fighters and Hole. Even though they are gone their influence is seen and felt to this day. As for Amy Winehouse it's too soon to see where her name will fall at in the music universe but wherever she may lay one thing is for sure her struggle is over and hopefully she can rest in peace.

You Complete Me

2010-11-16T23:27:00.015-05:00

Hidey Ho world, it's that time again. Since the beginning of musical time one of the hardest thing to do was to hold the audiences attention and get your point across. You may not know but records use to have two maybe three songs on it at a time. Then whole albums came and it still was difficult to make the "perfect" album, with people making two good singles and the rest of the album their own creative thoughts. As time went on and technology got more advanced people's attention span had gotten shorter and shorter. But not all was lost there were a few complete albums where every song hit and the artist message got across loud and clear. Here is Sarcarrogance's top ten complete albums.

10) Snoop Doggy Dogg - Doggystyle

Doggystyle is the debut album from Snoop Doggy Dogg, released November 23, 1993 on Death Row Records. The album was recorded soon following the release of Dr. Dre's landmark debut album The Chronic (1992), to which Snoop Dogg contributed significantly. His musical stylization for the album share similarity to those featured on Doggystyle. Critics have praised Snoop Dogg for the lyrical "realism" he delivers on the album and for his distinctive vocal flow.

9) Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP

The Marshall Mathers LP is the third studio album by Eminem. Released May 23, 2000, the album sold more than 1.79 million copies in its first week just in the US, earning a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records as the fastest selling solo album ever. In 2001, the album won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album and was nominated for Album of the Year. The album was certified 9x platinum by the RIAA in the United States, and sold over 10.2 million copies in the US. As of 2005 the album had sold over 19 million units worldwide. Often cited as Eminem's magnum opus, The Marshall Mathers LP has been ranked as one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all-time by such magazines as Rolling Stone, Time, and XXL. Rolling Stone placed the album at number 7 on its list of the best albums of the 2000s. The album was ranked number 302 by Rolling Stone on their list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. In 2010, Rhapsody featured it on its list of "The 10 Best Albums By White Rappers".

8) Rah Digga - Classic

Back in the late '90s, fire-breathing battle rapper Rah Digga was the only sidekick in Busta Rhymes' Flipmode Squad who could out roar the dungeon dragon himself. A decade after her 2000 debut, Dirty Harriet, she's still going full throttle. "Who's gonna check me, boo? / Not you!" she shouts on Classic, a set well-stocked with energy blasts like "Back It Up" and "This Ain't No Lil' Kid Rap," all produced by New York head-nod specialist Nottz. Save for "Viral," where she addresses some online gossip chatter, Rah Digga doesn't show much patience for introspection. But what Classic lacks in subtlety, it makes up in rowdy exultation.

7) Raheem DeVaughn - The Love Experience

The Love Experience is the debut Studio album by Raheem DeVaughn, released June 28, 2005 by Jive Records. The singles from this album were "Guess Who Loves You More" "Believe" "Ask Yourself" and "You". A Go-Go Version of the song "Sweet Tooth" was recorded by Rare Essence Netting sales of 250,000, according to Nielsen SoundScan, the album reached No. 9 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and No. 46 on the Billboard 200.
"You" is featured on Grand Theft Auto IV's fictional Soul/R&B radio station The Vibe 98.8.

6) Outkast - Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik

Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, was issued on April 26, 1994. This initial effort is credited with laying the foundation for southern hip hop and is considered a classic by many hip hop aficionados. Every track on Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik was produced by Organized Noize and featured other members of the Dungeon Family. Follow-up singles included the title track and "Git Up Git Out", a politically charged collaboration with Goodie Mob that was later sampled by Macy Gray for her 1999 hit "Do Something." On this early material, both André and Big Boi contrast lyrical content reflecting the lifestyles of pimps and gangsters with politically conscious material commenting on the status of African Americans in the South. OutKast won Best New Rap Group at the Source Awards in 1995. In the same year, the group contributed "Benz or a Beamer" to the popular New Jersey Drive soundtrack.

5) TLC - CrazySexyCool

CrazySexyCool is the second studio album by TLC, released by LaFace Records on November 15, 1994 in North America. CrazySexyCool peaked at #3 on the Billboard 200 and at #2 on the Billboard Top R&B Albums Chart, spawned four top-five singles on the Billboard Hot 100, two of which went to #1, and won the group two Grammys and became the group's biggest-selling album to date selling more than 19 million copies worldwide. The album was certified diamond, making TLC the first female group in history to ever be awarded diamond status by the RIAA. In 2003, the album was ranked number 377 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

4) The Fugees - The Score

The Score is the second and final studio album by the hip hop trio Fugees, released worldwide February 13, 1996 on Columbia Records. The album features a wide range of samples and instrumentation, with many aspects of alternative hip hop that would come to dominate the hip hop music scene in the mid-late 1990s. The Score's production was handled mostly by the Fugees themselves and Jerry Duplessis, with additional production from Salaam Remi, John Forté, Shawn King, and Diamond D. The album's guest raps are from Outsidaz' members Rah Digga, Young Zee and Pacewon, as well as Omega, John Forté, and Diamond D. Most versions of the album feature four bonus tracks, including three remixes of "Fu-Gee-La", and a short acoustic Wyclef Jean solo track entitled "Mista Mista."
Upon its release, The Score was a commercial success, peaking at the number one spot on both the Billboard 200, and the Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart. The singles "Killing Me Softly," "Fu-Gee-La," and "Ready or Not" also achieved notable chart success, and helped the group achieve worldwide recognition. On October 3, 1997, The Score was certified 6X's platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). In addition to receiving mostly favorable reviews upon its release, the album has garnished a considerable amount of acclaim over the years, with many music critics and publications noting it as one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time, and also one of the greatest albums of the 1990s. In 1998, the album was included in The Source's 100 best rap albums list, and in 2003, it was ranked number 477 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

3) Maroon 5 - Songs About Jane

Songs About Jane is the debut album of American pop rock band Maroon 5, released June 25, 2002 on J Records and Octone Records. The album became a sleeper hit with help of five singles that attained chart success, including the Billboard hit "Harder to Breathe" and international hits "This Love" and "She Will Be Loved". It was re-released on October 14, 2003, and by the end of 2004, had reached the top-ten of the US Billboard 200 chart. Songs About Jane had sold nearly 2.7 million copies by the end of 2004 and has been certified multi-platinum in sales in several countries

2) Jill Scott - Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds Vol. 1

Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds Vol. 1 is the debut album by American R&B-soul singer–songwriter Jill Scott, released in the United States on July 18, 2000 by Hidden Beach Recordings to generally positive reviews. The album was nominated for Best R&B Album at the 2001 Grammy Awards, whereas "Gettin' in the Way", "A Long Walk", and "He Loves Me (Lyzel in E Flat)" were nominated for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance in 2001, 2002, and 2003, respectively.
While not released as a single, the album track "He Loves Me (Lyzel in E Flat)", dedicated to Scott's then-husband Lyzel, became a particularly popular song at Scott's live and televised performances. It also received a club makeover as dance remixes of the song gained popularity and were later included on her subsequent 2001 Experience: Jill Scott 826+ album. Gospel singer Karen Clark Sheard and her daughter Kierra also covered the song with new gospel lyrics and ad-libs on the former's 2003 album The Heavens Are Telling. Beyoncé included the song as part of a medley with "Dangerously in Love 2" during her Beyoncé Experience world tour in 2007. The song was also covered by the German pop trio Monrose on their 2006 DVD Popstars - The Making of Monrose. The twelfth track, "The Roots (Interlude)", is an excerpt of The Roots' 1999 song "You Got Me" featuring Erykah Badu, which Scott co-wrote. Following twenty-six four-second blank tracks after the seventeenth track, "Show Me", a remix of "Love Rain" featuring rapper Mos Def appears alongside the album's bonus track, "Try".

1) Lauryn Hill - The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

In 1998, Lauryn released The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, which was both critically and commercially successful. It sold over 423,000 copies in its first week and topped the Billboard 200 albums chart for four weeks and the Billboard R&B Album chart for six weeks; it would go on to sell more than 18 million copies over the next decade. The first single off the album was "Lost Ones" (US #27), released in Spring 1998. The second was "Doo Wop (That Thing)", which reached #1 in the Billboard charts. Other singles released in support of the album were "Ex-Factor" (US #21), "Everything Is Everything" (US #35), and "To Zion". At the 1999 Grammy Awards, Hill was nominated 10 times, becoming the first woman ever to be nominated 10 times in one year: Hill won five Grammys including Album of the Year (beating Madonna's critically acclaimed Ray of Light and Shania Twain's bestselling Come on Over), Best R&B Album, Best R&B Song, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, and Best New Artist. Hill set a new record in the industry, becoming the first woman to win five Grammys in one night. Between 1998 and 1999, Hill earned $25 million from record sales and touring.

I know left out a couple but like I said it was a top ten. If you don't like write and tell me your top ten. For those out there here go some more albums: Green Day-American Idiot, 50 Cent-Get Rich or Die Trying, Jay-z-Reasonable Doubt, Black Sabbath-Black Sabbath, The Beatles-The White Album, and Led Zeppelin-Led Zeppelin. Like I said if you can think of more let me know.

A Band Together: Guitar Heroes

2010-11-03T20:01:00.017-04:00

What it do world it's your boy Molo back at it again. I know it's been a while but the world is a crazy place. Without further delay here is the newest mini-series from the Sarcarrogance brain trust. Now I been watching all these greatest list and I was thinking to myself they never put a rock list together. I seen Vh1's mockery of a 100 greatest artist list. So I decided to put together a not a list per say but an Uber Band from the major components of a band: Guitar, Lead singer, drummer, keyboards, and misc. The first up is the guitarist, they are in front as much if not more than the lead singer. To be a great guitarist you must exude sex appeal, confidence, arrogance, and uniqueness. Let me tell you this was a hard decision I started with like fifty and it took me two weeks to get it to six. These aren't in no particular order but there is a winner. Here we go:

Jimi Hendrix

Considered by most as the greatest to ever touch the electric guitar. Jimi had a short career but his impact is still felt today. From movies to commercials his music surpassed his 27 years he was on this earth. Most famous for is his Woodstock Star Bangled Banner rendition. So unique his chords are one of the most difficult to mimic. He played from the his soul and his soul sounded good.

Joe Perry

Joe Perry is the epitome of a rocker. He lived his life hard sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll and came out clean on the other side. His career spans four decades. He gain popularity in a little group called Aerosmith you might of heard of them. Highlight of his career was the halftime show at Super Bowl XXXV. Joe holds his own and is just as known as Aerosmith front man and friend Steven Tyler. When he did it he made it look good.

Slash

From the hair to the top hat to the leather pants Sam "Slash" Hudson is what a rock star is. Heavily influenced by blues and Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Slash has an ear for music. His first time playing the guitar was Tangerine off the Led Zeppelin III album. With insane solos and amazing riffs Slash is the man. Not only did he make it big with one group but three different groups. It's hard to see anyone touching his talent.

Chuck Berry

The godfather of Rock-n-Roll point blank period. Chuck been making music since 1955 and touring nonstop since 1980. Everyone from The Beach Boys to The Rolling Stones covered his songs. His classic "duck walk" and vibrant guitar riffs changed how the world saw how music was made. Chuck had the right idea music is suppose to be fun and entertaining example with his song "My Ding-a-ling". Constant showman we can learn a lot from him.

Jimmy Page

Revered by many as the most influential and versatile guitarist in Rock history. He is the second music digitally sampled artist behind only James Brown. Inducted in to the hall of fame twice withe The Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin.
According to MSNBC Jimmy Page "played some of the most fundamental and memorable guitar in rock history—from the heaviest crunch to the most delicate acoustic finger picking." He is the mayor of the nut house.

Kirk Hammett

Kirk is a member of what some say is the "Kings of Metal" Metallica. His swagger on stage is unparalleled to any after him. Hammett's playing style is noted for his extensive use of the wah-wah pedal in his solos. Hammett says "The wah-wah is an extension of my personality." Hammett's use of the wah-pedal hadn't been featured in recent Metallica solos, but has seen a resurgence in his solos on the newest album, Death Magnetic, in song like The Unforgiven III. He is most known for the riff on "Enter the Sandman". He played hard and made no apologies now that's how it's suppose to be.

Honorable Mention: Dimebag Darrell, David Gilmour, K.K. Downing, John Lee Hooker, Prince, Muddy Waters, The Edge, Flea, Rod Price, Keith Richards

Now that you have seen my opinion I repeat my opinion of my top six guitarist are. Make your list and let me know who you like. Now I know you are asking, so who is the cream of the top? Well the winner is:

Irv Gotti says Nicki Minaj is just as talented as Lauryn Hill

2010-07-26T11:41:00.002-04:00

In a recent interview with Vibe magazine Irv Gotti was asked his opinion on Nicki Minaj...

VIBE: Does Nicki Minaj have what it takes to be a star?

Irv Gotti: The world has yet to see the best of Nicki Minaj. What she's delivering to the world now is basically what they want. But I know that she's a super talented superstar who can do anything at a high level—rap, sing, act, whatever she wants to do. This is just the beginning of Nicki Minaj. Her best is yet to come. In my opinion she is as talented as my other girl Lauryn Hill. They have completely different styles. But as far as the talent is concerned they both can do it all. Nicki just isn't showing it yet 'cause she doesn't want to. But world be prepared 'cause she's the truth!

Hidey Ho from the top of the world! I have been disgusted with what I have been seeing in music as of late. With all of the terrible displays of what is considered good music lately and the pettiness that's being displayed. None more disturbing then what I saw at the BET Awards and even the months leading up to it. Sean "Diddy" Combs trying to relive his childhood or bring back an era of music that is in everyone hearts. I can appreciate that but calling Rick Ross the new Biggie and aligning yourself with a Lil Kim knockoff I just have one thing to ask to you: "Who the Fuck is YOU"?

Now before I get all the why you hating on Nicki and things hear me out. I am not saying Onika Miraj isn't talented, actually I am big fan of hers. Ricky Ross may have fell off lately but he stayed relevant in the game. I am saying that Diddy needs to fall back and stop being an artist and do what he does best be an executive. It's like he is going through a mid-life crisis or something. I thought the whole Dirty Money thing was horrible than I saw what he was trying to pull on us. You thinking what I am talking about right? Check it Rick Ross: Biggie, Nicki Minaj: Lil Kim, Red Cafe: Black Rob, Dirty Money: Total, Janelle Monae: Faith are you starting to see what's going on? He is trying to bring it back to 1996 when we all loved Hip-Hop. Diddy is forgetting one thing about that equation he always had a quarterback for the team whether it was BIG, Mase, or G-Dep someone was in place to be the focal point. He can't and wont ever be that, this is one of many egotistical things this been doing that no one has called him on. Y'all know I ain't scared to do it lol.

First off you are not an artist, you continue to try to live out some morbid fantasy of being a superstar. Please stop it we don't believe you one bit. You are not 25 anymore all of your peers have retired willing or unwillingly or have kept themselves relevant through the years. While you on the other hand continue to act like it's 1995. With lines like "your girl is feigning for me like Jodeci" proves how out of touch you are. You are equivalent in hip hop to the 40 year old in the club doing the stanky leg.

Next you need to let your artist shine. You get rid of several multi platinum acts and keep Cassie? Fall back and be the ruthless exec you use to be, use your brain and not your privates. Stop making people wait 3+ years on albums you have to intention on putting out. Hell I'm still waiting for that Donnie Klang album. You have great artist on your roster let them breathe, I mean it's all fine and dandy to be on a couple of songs but don't turn great acts into writers for you. Finally cause I don't want to be here all night. Biggie is gone and Kim is old. Stop trying to relive the past with Rick Ross and Nicki Minaj. That time is over and gone it might come back one day, but until then let it be. All the dancing, wearing the fronts, making up perposurous reasons why things aren't happening. You sound delusional and senile. Go back to Puffy cause Diddy ain't cutting it.

"Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who
keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind
young." ~ Henry Ford

CTC Spotlight: The Asian Persuasion

2010-07-01T18:30:00.007-04:00

Hidey Ho good neighbors it's about that time for another addition to CTC Spotlight. This time were are going to get a little deep. We are going behind the Big Red Wall. There was once a phrase people use to say "Not an Asian man's chance". It came from when the Asians use to build the railroads, they would slowly lower them over cliffs with dynamite in their hands to make the tunnels and sometimes they weren't pulled up fast enough and they would die. I say this because the same thing can be said in the music industry "Not an Asian man's chance". There are countless of incredible artist that won't get any shine because they aren't the "right look" whatever that means. Since they can't get recognition they go to the new underground...the Internet. Here are a couple of people that you may have seen and some you may not, all I ask is keep an open mind and listen. I like to present to you Traphik, D-Pryde, Kat Badar, and Jin...

Tim Chantarangsu (Traphik) or Better Known By his Online Handle TimothyDeLaGhetto2 is a “self-made” celebrity, known for his funny YouTube videos and his hip-hop music. As he states often he is confused with the rapper Jin, making references to him in his songs and even made a skit about him in his first mixtape. His popularity sparked highly when he and his friends Pedro Flores and Eric Ochoa made a Music video entitled “The Kings Of Myspace” which has spawned a sequel. His YouTube videos spawn many topics, ranging from random references to pop culture, little songs and videos, and most notably an advice column known as Dear DeLaGhetto.

Russell Gilbert Llantino (born October 13, 1993), better known by his stage names D-Pryde and Dukke, is a 16 year old producer/writer/rap artist. Born in Mississauga, Ontario, the son of Rosalie Llantino and Gilbert Llantino, and is of Spanish and Filipino decent. Three years after his birth, his father walked out, leaving Russell, his older brother Gabriel, and his mother alone. Russell never saw his father again when he was growing up, and neither did his older brother Gabriel. He had moved to Brampton with his mother and brother to pursue a new life. Two years later, as a small child he had been exposed to West Indies music by his step father Frank Ravello, who had come in his life, not a moment late. As a young child, he became interested in hip-hop, performing and lip singing to artists such as Biggie, 2pac, and Eminem. Around the age of Ten Russell had found the ambition to rap, and was under the name “ Dukke Wonder “ and joining the group “ Young and Fresh “ around 2005, where his first song was released. Within the community, he frequently participated in neighbourhood freestyle battles.
Through he would later struggle with the nature of his small fame, as well as lyrical expectations, D Pryde endured substantial obstacles throughout his young yet remarkably dramatic entrance into the rap game. Before becoming one of the most discussed Asian figures in hip hop, being compared to Asian rappers such as Jin the Emcee, D-Pryde had suffered through hatred and harsh critics which the public eye had given him. Entering the hip hop game, D-Pryde had been exposed to negative messages and comments, which pulled him out of the game for a while. Not knowing what he was putting himself into, he decided to take a break and learn the story behind Hip Hop. Stepping back into the game in the summer of 2007, he is experienced and ready for anything, following his goal to be in the rap industry. Hoping to make it one day. He has been in many collaborations in the past years and easy was the stand out in many of them.

Jin was born Jin Au-Yeung on June 4, 1982 in Miami, Florida. He was raised in Miami by his Cantonese parents who ran their own restaurant. After graduating from high school in 2000, Jin decided to forgo college and moved his family to Flushing, Queens, New York City in 2001. He began performing freestyles and selling his own mix tapes on the streets, in hip-hop clubs and wherever else possible. His big break came when the BET program 106 & Park began inviting local rappers to hold battles in a segment known as Freestyle Friday. That same night of his Hall of Fame induction, he announced that he had signed a deal with the Ruff Ryders. His first single under Ruff Ryders was titled "Learn Chinese". It took a sample from the 1992 song "They Want EFX", from hip-hop group Das EFX. The second and final single for the album was originally supposed to be "I Got a Love" featuring Kanye West, but was later changed to "Senorita" because Roc-A-Fella Records didn't want to over-expose Kanye West. The album was originally scheduled to be released in the summer of 2003, but was delayed for over a year by the label. In October 2004, Jin released his debut album, The Rest Is History, which reached number 54 of the Billboard Top 200 albums chart. Both of his singles, "Learn Chinese" and "Senorita", failed to be major mainstream successes. Nonetheless, Jin's music video "Learn Chinese" was the first video ever to be played on MTV. After his well publicized lost to Serius Jones on the Fight Klub DVD and a failed record deal with Universal Jin called it quits for a while. But has since came back with a few mixtapes and songs. Jin currently resides in Hong Kong
Jin has most recently been starring on frequent commercials in Hong Kong and also making numerous appearances in TVB like Big Boys Club.
He has recently thrown out a Hip-Hop Census in honor of the 2010 Census and Chinese New Year 2010. He released a mixtape entitled "Say Something", on May 15 2010. As said by Jin, this mixtape is open to anybody and will be mixed from the general population along with Jin. According to JinSuperGroup.com, Jin will be releasing a new album with his friend Hanjin in 2010.

Kat is a 19 year phenomenal singer from San Diego, Ca. She has been making her way up and down the West Coast doing college shows and concerts. Her versatility is shown as she can seemingly hit every range on the singing scale. Kat's covers make you literally forget about the original artist that sings the song. She is in that category I like to call "real people artist". Only true fans of music know of her and when she decides to unleash her beautiful talent on the word look out! From her personable attitude to her quirky "just like us" ways to the inviting smile it's hard to not love her as a person. But when you get a chance to hear her sing you fall for the whole package. She is a rare gift given to the world I hope the rest of the world catches up and listens.

This if anything should prove that music is color blind. Everyone loves music and expresses it in their own way. So never judge a book by it's cover. Go to these artist pages and enlighten yourself. Because Drake, JadaKiss, DMX, Mariah Carey, and Kanye West can't be wrong they all endorses them. If you still doubting the Asian Movement coming here is one more thing to leave you with:

Hidey Ho from the top of the world. It's your boy back at it like a crack addict with a bad habit. Well I have been gone for a while I know. But I have been watching what has been going on. Like Nicki Minaj still doesn't have and album, despite what Drake says the Young Money ship is sinking. The beefs and the arrests it's all been crazy. So with that being said let me start off by saying Free Weezy, Boosie, Tru Life, Tsu Surf, Remy, and A-Mo.

OK lets go I have been in school trying to better myself. No I wasn't in jail and no I was not attacked by rappers. I just took a break from it all to get a better understanding. Yes I have seen the Kat Stacks movement. I just want to get a few questioned answered lol. I don't know why Kim is beefing and I don't know why Diddy is trying to relive 1996 again lol. But what I do know is I have big things jumping off for the movement. One we are in the process of writing a book of poems and I am saving an entire chapter dedicated to the fans so if you have any poems please summit them. Next I will be making the Sarcarrogance and Really shirts so if you want one hit me up. Finally I am working on the Sarcarrogance mixtape/album/spoken word CD it will be done by the Fall. Well with all that said and done be prepared for more videos and more awesome post from yours truly and the rest of the crew.

Out of necessity springs genius
