How’s that for a headline? Ha!
Seriously though, Robbie just shared the following jewels from his recent sit-down with GFK for HHC:
Can you tell me about this R & B album? Are there a lot of collaborations?
Ghostface: Like when I did ‘Ice Cream’ and all the stuff like that. Remember ‘Ice Cream’? An album like that. A mixture of things, like you know how I did that Ne-Yo joint and ‘All That I Got Is You’ and stuff like that. It’s my last album [for Def Jam] so I wanted to do the album I always wanted to do, man. You gotta tell the fans that you not gettin’ no younger here – we gettin’ older! And everybody don’t sell crack no more, man. I don’t sell crack, yo. I ain’t movin’ no bricks or none of that other shit. I ain’t shoot nobody in like…since the early 90’s, man. How long you gonna be 40 years old and actin’ like you still sellin’ cracks and you on the block and you doin’ this and you doin’ that when times is more serious, man. We in a fuckin’ recession, B! Ain’t nobody gettin’ no money, man! We gotta stop lyin’ to ourselves and lyin’ to the fans. And the fans gotta stop bein’ so dumb and ignorant, and know it’s time to talk about grown-man situations. Shit that happen in the real life, inside your household, your love life, your personal life, that’s just like, ‘Damn, it’s hard for a nigga to get some money!’ It might be so hard to get some money that your girl might wanna leave you someday because you ain’t get no money like you like you used to be getting’ money! Those are real situations, so I think it should start goin’ back to songs that mean shit. All that other shit outside is just gonna keep us dumb, deaf and blind, yo, and we ain’t never gonna get nowhere.
I Heart Ignorance: UnKut
Tech N9ne has always had a unique approach to hip hop, and this album seems to show why he has remained such a recognizable name for so long. I like that the article highlights both his perseverance and the variety of collaborations featured across ASIN9NE. Seventeen tracks also gives listeners plenty of material to discover instead of relying on just one standout song. Music careers can be especially interesting when you consider how much an artist can accomplish over many years. A chronological age calculator can be a simple way to understand someone's age at different points in their personal or professional timeline, which adds an interesting perspective when looking at long careers.
