And still more questions... critiques edition


The only way to make it better is to lovingly critique, right?

1) What am I more disappointed in, the one million "a millie" freestyles or that Wayne sold a millie in a week?

2)Why is the Nas and Green Lantern tape so banging? And why does it make me nervous for the album?

3) Did anyone peep Nas taking on the Hegelian Master-Slave dialectic? Or have I read too much theory of late?

4)Why can't I get enough of public access rap shows?

5) Why am I waiting so hard for Immortal Technique's album?

6)What would have happened if Obama's folks let them sit where they should have been seated?

7) When did everyone in NYC decide to root against the Lakers (and yeah I'm still a Lakers fan)?

8) Does Lil Wayne know menstration is not a venereal disease? Freudian freestyle anyone?

9) Why within 20 minutes of being on the beach in the Dominican Republic did multiple "Morenos" call me nigga?

10) What if all my people truly knew "Black is Beautiful"?

11) What happens when love is not enough?

12) Why do people think wanting my due is being a capitalist, when it's clearly just my Marxian understanding of the value of my labor?

13) Why were more people outraged about Tim Russert's death than the R. Kelly decision?

14)Why are you "so anti it don't even matter"?

15) Why am I so ignorant for putting the little White kid's picture so big?

3. No, you were not. I peeped that too. I'll probably write my dissertation on Hegel and the Black Intelligensia.

9. Wow...I have yet to go to any of the islands, but I'm pretty sure I'll be in for an experience. We have talked about this before, but you should comment on this again.

12. I think being called a "Marxist" ranks very high on "Worst Slurs List." I wonder how chagrined the perpetrators would be if they knew I took it as a complement.

peace,
