Hip-hop Blogging

WARNING: I plan to ramble a little bit here and my spelling, grammar, and coherency may be worse than usual. Forgive me in advance. Here we go...

I was on a tear for about 3 weeks but now I've been a little mia from blogging. I can relate to how Lynne feels, sort of. I have so many things I want to do and write about that just thinking about them burns me out! Plus work is getting hard, and my friend just passed away, and I broke up with my girl. A lot on my mind, man. Times like these I just want to sit back and let others to the hip-hop punditry.

Ian of Different Kitchen is filling the gap. I really like his blog, even down to the color scheme. He writes well and he knows his hip-hop. And he's from Brooklyn. And he's Black (I'm assuming since he's in the Black blogs webring).

I was suprised he was Black. Not many of us hip-hop blog writers are, despite my first assumptions. Jon? He's Latino. Eric? White maybe? El-Keter? Jewish I believe. And Jay Smooth? I thought he was not Black based on Jon's old post but when I just checked it I see there was a correction made. Jay is mixed. Well, that last second clarification kills what I was going to say next. So uh...forget it.

And before I go let me also point whoever is reading to a project I'm doing with Eric.

And lastly, I would like to buy a Christmas present for one of the people who signed up to my blog through bloglet. There's about 43 of you. The first one to tell me where Juanita Ka$h Hawkins got her name from I'll buy you the new Gangstarr album. This is not a ploy to get more subscribers- this is just a one time thank you to the people who have supported my weblog this year. If anything it's a ploy to boost up sales for GURU and Primo.

So yeah, peace and love ya'll.
