What's your direct connect #? "123-443.....uuuuuh! who are you again?"

You may want to hold up before giving that out in the future

....... apparently the communication channel is not as secure as once thought. It would seem chirping may not be the best way for people involved in "illegal activities" [in particular] to communicate. Damn, will the feds give the nice drug dealers and other crooks of the world a d*mn break! Sheesh! My advice to folk: Betta start carrying it like Joe Pesci in Good Fellas! No talking on phones EVER! I may be the last person on Earth to hear this song....lol! "Nextel Chirp" by Maceo. ......But apparently I'm not the first to develop an opinion! I think the song's cute! he he! This should be a drug dealer's anthem! According to SOHH....Atlanta thinks he is truth. Who is this guy??? I need to get familiar!!!

Tried to find the song online...hopefully this link will work:

Looks like [Illseed] said it BEST!:

GET YA GAME TIGHT! I'm going to let you know, gentlemen and ladies. If you are out in the streets doing what some of you do, you might want to chill on using those Nextel phones. Apparently, the company is working with the feds to probe "Illegal Drug Operations over the Nextel Chirp System." Well, since rappers keep making reference to these damn chirps, the government is going to look into it. You shouldn't be doing that mess in the first place, but if you are smarten up

Hit me up on MYSPACE when you get a few! Also, if you have an event, CD or other announcement....please post it on the "Community Forum" - NO REGISTRATION REQUIRED!!! Tryna keep it basic! You can find the link on the top left side bar. Holla!

Sad part is, the two decent local acts we have are beefin (Bossman vs. Mullyman). As if Baltimore isn*t small enough, these dudes gotta have some type of animosity towards one another. Meanwhile, Bossman is over at Virgin with no real release date. Mullyman still isn*t signed, even after two successful singles (one with Bleek using the same beat Jim Jones used for Summer in Miami and another with Freeway on the Clinton Sparks official mixtape release last year). Los of Da Bloc got a label deal with Bad Boy… he*s trash PLUS he aint coming out. COMP got dropped from Def Jam and he is a fuckin animal (i.e. did that verse on Ghost*s Run song and he was around 17 years old). Skarr Akbar don’t know how to control his temper, duffin niggas on stage. Little does he know, that shit won*t fly in any city above the Mason-Dixon. Get his dumb ass a quick trip to any local ER.

It*s like people sign dudes from here as a gimmick. And I swear, if someone bring up B. Rich one more time, I*m gonna track your IP addy, hunt you down, and D-D-T you down a flight of steps.

*B More Nubian*

Yeeeeeeeeah Right! .......Who iz this guy/gal? I ask that b/c it's a national site and this person is painting a pic of baltimore that isn't pretty.

.....or is any talk of Baltimore hip hop ghood b/c more dialogue like this is gonna get people to come check out what else we have here to offer?

He said Mully and Bossman are beefin...is that STILL true? Why even talk about that - it's April? or does the idea of BEEF excite people? He said Skarr can't control his temper and I know that is false also. I need to meet this guy..hopefully we can turn him into B'more's most vocal spokesperson. You have gots to read the entire back and fourth....THERE IS WAAAAAY more ......its classic! The blog entry was on the Dame Dash/Jay Z fallout...how did it become about B'more. WOW! GREAT READ!!!

A few of you may recognize these images. These symbols are commonly referred to as Adinkra Symbols. I love them on so many levels. Each tells a story and offers insight. I am very much into speaking with my ancestors because nothing is new....everything I go through has been experienced before. Their history and connection to my existence is amazing!!! Sometimes...you need to seek "celestral" counsel when it seems like "supernatural" events are occuring. When ever I am going through a puzzling time, I have several amazing resources (I may share them another time) that I use to help make sense of my situation.

The top symbol - GYE NYAME - This is the most popular and commonly used adinkra symbol. It means - (Except God). This is a symbol of the Omnipotence of God. He is the beginning and the end - the only absolute. ["This great panorama of creation dates back to time immemorial and no one lives who saw its beginning and one lives to see it's end Except God"]

The second......& most relevant to this post means - PEMPAMIEH or HYE WONHYE - ye wo nyhe (the one who burns you be notburned). This is the symbol of forgiveness and turning the other cheek.

On this last Thursday of the month, I thought it would be fitting to share with you a passage on loving your enemies. While this may mean nothing to some....somebody out there surly needs to see this.......I hope you all are enriched! [THE ENTIRE PASSAGE BELOW IS SO WORTH READING]

Loving Enemies
Matthew 5:38-47
by J. David Hoke

"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.' But I say to you, do not resist him who is evil; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if anyone wants to sue you, and take your shirt, let him have your coat also. And whoever shall force you to go one mile, go with him two. Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you. You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you in order that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax-gatherers do the same? And if you greet your brothers only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?" - (Matthew 5:38-47)

All of us want to be liked. Although there are probably a few malcontents who are antisocial, the vast majority of people make an honest attempt to get along with others and would like for others to think well of them.

*
On our jobs, around our neighborhoods, and at church we try to be likeable and friendly. We make an honest attempt to treat people in such a way that they have positive feelings toward us. Sometimes it works, and other times it doesn't.

*
Unfortunately, there are those times when people decide that they don't like us. Even though we have made an attempt to be kind to them, and are wonderful people ourselves, they, nonetheless, resolve to be hostile toward us. This can hurt. It can be very disappointing.

*
Who knows why people choose to become our enemy? And what do you do when they do? The tendency is to strike back. It has been called the plan and pounce strategy -- the "don't get even, get ahead" method. But does this way of retaliating at people for their behavior really produce the desired results. Often it produces further animosity and bad feelings. It makes the hostile person more hostile, and leaves us feeling worse instead of better.

*
Jesus said that there was a better way. As a matter of face, He gave us a radical solution to this ancient problem. Instead of retaliating against your enemy, you should love him by doing good to him!

*
"LOVE HIM! You've got to be kidding!" you may be saying about now. "How can we be expected to love those who are treating us harshly and unfairly?" "Surely, no one could do that, or would want to." "Even Christians have their limits, don't they?"

*
There is no doubt that Christians do have limits. But when it comes to love, the limits far exceed what we may think. The confusion comes when we adopt the thinking of the world.

*
The Secular Mentality
The world philosophy of how you handle your enemy is quite different from the Christian view. The sad plight of the secular mentality is revealed in statements like "an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth." In other words, we want, we demand justice. And there is certainly nothing wrong with justice.

*
The reason we demand justice, however, is because we have come to believe that we have certain rights as human beings. Indeed, in the Declaration of Independence of our country, we declare that certain rights are unalienable and are given to us by no one less that our Creator. This, our founding fathers said, was a truth which was self-evident. Rights has become, however, a byword of our generation. We speak of human-rights, women's-rights, children's-rights, worker's-rights, gay-rights, criminal's-rights, victim's-rights, and on and on. People believe that they have rights and are, in many cases, not only pleading for them but also demanding them. We think that justice will give us these rights, and therefore we demand justice -- an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.

*
There is only one problem with this philosophy -- everyone would soon be blind and toothless. I recall hearing an old Amos and Andy radio show routine where Andy was particularly exasperated over a certain fellow on the street who, as Andy walked by him on his way to work each morning, would slap Andy on the chest and say hello. Andy complained to Amos about the situation and told him that he had resolved to do something about it. He said that on the next morning he would strap some dynamite to his chest and when the annoying fellow slapped it, he would blow his hand off.

& .................NOW BACK TO OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING. Its just that I got such a great response from droppin some knowledge yesterday...figured I'd try it again....LOL!

Coming Soon:
Team Green - Hostage Mixtape
Bosslady & H.O.P. - B.S.O.G. Mixtape

* Whaaadddup! OOH OOH OOH

Yeah...SO WHAAAAD.....I'm like 14th author! he he!

Rell Ruger is a man on a mission. I see this man everywhere. I'd checked out his last mixtape (below - red) a few months ago, but never got around to actually writing a review of some kind. I liked it alot. After listening, he definitely became a person of interest. I happened to see Mr. Ruger at the M.O.L. CD release party the other night and he blessed me with a copy of the new "The BMORE DON VOL1" (Stick-N-Move Records). The follow up to "B More We've Got a Problem Vol 1" features 21 tracks.... some good some excellent.....most of which was made in-house. WOW! Holla @ them peoples for tracks!!!

*

Standout songs included "How Hustlers Roll" (which is currently featured on his MYSPACE page), "We Ridden" (Love the track and the flow fits!), "U Not a Thug" (Has real potential- I didn't get the laughter sample/sound effect in the background, but overall I liked the song. Some people really need to hear this), "Bmore 2 DC" ( Vocals [minus the hook] were above average, but the track is a lil "blah" IMO. Oooook...now....Put away your C-Love dart board....here comes the sugar: you gain MAJOR points because of who the song features. I definitely like these types of collaborations. This song gets my vote all day. Push it!! HARD!!! and last but not least "Grown-n-Sexy" (I love this track. Wish the hook would have been a lil more complicated. Verses were good. I like your imagination. Songs featured on his Myspace page as well). One small issue: Something was VERY wrong with one of those drums on "Where We Go (f/Stress)". Look into that!

Overall great mixtape for fans of the street ish!
