Never been a big fan of Common ( I know you all thought his last album was good ). I listened to 3 songs from his upcoming, and based on those 3, the new album’s gonna be hot shit. Excellent production. By the way, one of the songs, Universal Mind Control will definitely make some old fans pissy, but it sounds good. I can even picture a white kid in tight jeans dance to that shit.
There is nothing free in this world now days, but sometimes, there comes a gold like Adam’s Case Files, a mixed tape by 88 keys. Each track is short and so sweet: anticipation to his first full length album, The Death of Adam.

Outro
I just got this unofficial video of Q tip’s new song, Getting up possibly from his upcoming album, The Renaissance. I have a feeling if the album sounds as good as this song; I may love him again.
Or whatever you want to call it. I was fucking pissed off when I read about Spanish basketball teams, both men and women in an ad published in two of most popular newspapers in Spain. The ad depicts both teams gesturing by pulling their eyes apart - making their eyes slanted. Nice, eh? This ad was created for the 2008 Olympics in mind. Isn’t it amazing that no one in Spain thought this may be offensive before it got printed in two major newspapers? Not even one advertising executive or newspaper editor didn’t think this might piss many Chinese/Asian people off. It’s astounding that not one player thought this was wrong, and some of them even play in NBA.
I read some of the comments regarding this ad, and they were as clueless as what the ad represents. This is what I learned: In Spain, the gesture is not offensive at all, but enduring. I learned many Spanish children make this gesture. See, just because the ones making the gesture do not find it offensive does not make it not offensive, and just because children do it does not make it alright either. They adamantly deny that they are racists. Most racists don’t see them as racists. They think they are misunderstood. Well, that might be half true. It’s true I don’t understand their lack of sensitivity and ignorance to other culture. If shit like this happened in Canada where I live, you know the shit would hit the fan, and I highly doubt that Asian people living in Spain think this ad is enduring or funny. Some might say that this was meant to be funny, but I’m not laughing. I’m not taking the ad out of context because there is none here.
Or maybe I’m expecting too much from the country who throw bananas at black soccer players and make monkey noise. See what I mean? Unfuckingbelievable. Maybe the ad agency who made the ad is run by 7 year olds, who haven’t learned just yet making fun of others is never a good idea. I think that’s the part with I have the most trouble. How the fuck did they think this is acceptable in any kind circumstance?
I sure enjoy watching it though. Love this number.
