You want to talk about Free Dome and Change? This brother right here changed the game of Hip-Hop! I mean he changed the direction of how people was writing and reciting their rhymes. Foreal!! Nobody was doing it like him. That’s why he is held in such high regards when it comes to emceeing. Not to mention his metaphors. I myself have taken from the Rakim book, shit it was him who really got me interested in writing rhymes. Looking back at it, I could nearly understand what he was speaking on but I could innerstand it well. Blast from the past, Rakim “I ain’t no Joke”. FISKKK!!!!
Change is upon us people and I’m not talking about Obama. Today(these days) is a time where a lot of different views(i.e. idea’s, perspectives) and ways of life is being challenged. Some by outside forces that you feel you can’t control as well as those close to home like family and good friends. There are many ways to look at them. It could be offensive at times but ultimately it is up to you to determine it’s effect on you. Believe it or not, that’s the perception you control. And if you can control your perception… that’s a good start to a Free Dome! Enjoy! Oh, pay attention to definition number two below. BLAMMMMM!!

A group that made a couple of hits during the 90’s. At the time I only liked about two joints but still… they will be with me until I move on. Here’s a quick bio:
Led by producer/vocalist/songwriter Jazzie B., Soul II Soul were one of the most innovative dance/R&B outfits of the late ’80s, creating a seductive, deep R&B that borrowed from Philly soul, disco, reggae, and ’80s hip-hop. Originally featuring Jazzie B., producer/arranger Nellee Hooper, and instrumentalist Philip “Daddae” Harvey, the musical collective came together in the late ’80s. The group had a residency at the Africa Centre in London’s Covent Garden, which led to a record contract with 10, a subsidiary of Virgin. Two singles, “Fairplay” and “Feel Free,” began to attract attention both in clubs and in the press.
Featuring the vocals of Caron Wheeler, Soul II Soul’s third single, “Keep on Movin’,” reached the U.K. Top Ten in March of 1989. Released in the summer of 1989, “Back to Life” also featured Wheeler and became another Top Ten hit. Soul II Soul released their debut album, Club Classics, Vol. 1, shortly afterward. The album was released in America under the title Keep on Movin’; both “Keep on Movin’” and “Get a Life” became substantial hits, propelling the album to double platinum status.
Wheeler left the group before the recording of the group’s second album, Vol. II: 1990 – A New Decade. The album debuted at number one in the U.K., yet it caught the group in a holding pattern. Hooper soon left the collective, leaving Jazzie B. to soldier on alone. Hooper went on to work with several of the most influential and popular acts of the early ’90s, including Massive Attack (Blue Lines), Björk (Debut and Post), Madonna (Bedtime Stories), and U2 (“Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me”). In 1992, Soul II Soul released Vol. III: Just Right, to both lukewarm reviews and sales. After the compilation Vol. IV: The Classic Singles, the group’s next studio album, Vol. V: Believe, appeared in 1995. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

and an Indian; prob. of African origin.]

intent, but now considered offensive or racist by
African-Americans. [Derogatory and offensive]

time popular in elementary schools, but the book has
been removed from reading lists in many American

negative associations of the word itself.

It’s that time of the week peoples… Watermelon and Chicken Wednesday’s. We are gonna set it off with Big Homie Coolio. What in the hell does he have cookin up this week? BLAMMMMM!!
NEW YORK (AP) — Just in case anybody had forgotten that Kobe Bryant has never won an NBA title without Shaquille O’Neal, the big man sent out a reminder.
The Phoenix Suns center can be seen rapping that “Kobe couldn’t do without me” in a video posted online at celebrity news and gossip site TMZ.com
During the two-minute video, a grinning O’Neal lurches through an improvised rap in which he skewers the Lakers’ star, with whom he won three straight NBA titles from 2000-2002 while with Los Angeles.
“I was freestyling. That’s all. It was all done in fun. Nothing serious whatsoever,” O’Neal told ESPN.com Monday. “That is what MC’s do. They freestyle when called upon. I’m totally cool with Kobe. No issue at all.”
O’Neal and Bryant last played together in 2004. After a long-simmering feud came to a boil in public, O’Neal was traded to Miami before the 2004-05 season, and won an NBA championship with the Heat in 2006.
Bryant and the Lakers didn’t reach the finals again until earlier this month, when the Boston Celtics beat them 4-2.
“You know how I be,” Shaq rapped. “Last week Kobe couldn’t do without me.”
O’Neal, who has recorded seven albums, also said he is “the difference between first and last place” and even took a jab at former New York Knicks center Patrick Ewing’s lack of championship rings.
