Check these lyrics out. 
I spit that wonder rhymer shit, me and my conglomerates
Shall remain anonymous, caught up in the finest shit
Get the type of media coverage Obama get, spit that Kurt Vonnegut
That blow your brain Kurt Cobain, that Nirvana shit
Who gone bring the game back?
Who gone spit that Remo on the train tracks
That gold rope, that 5 finger ring rap
Runnin’ with my same pack
You can find the Christ where the lepers and the lames at
Life is like a dice game
One roll could land you in jail or cuttin’ cake blowin’ kisses in the rice rain
Nice whip, nice chain, a closet of skulls
The stench is like slave blood at Providence Hall, yeah
They built my city on top of a grave
Ni**a die, ni**a get high, and watch the parade
Back in the early 90’s, “Where they at, where they at, get the gat, get the gat” was a popular phrase
Bally animals and rugbys was the popular craze
This the vivid memoirs of an obnoxious slave
I paved ways like Nat and Harriet, I blast on Judas Iscariots and peel off in the chariot
I’m sittin’ pretty, spittin’ flames, grippin’ grain, ain’t a damn thing changeThey say “Candyman, Candyman, spit me a dream,” blow a chunk of the levy out and spit me a stream
Knock a man house down and build a casin(o), a 2000 dollar government check from FEM(A)
I swam down shit’s creek and came up clean, with a new lease on life like Andy Dufresne
It’s the most poetical, Nat King “Unforgettable”
Clarence 13X Allah’s rhapsody from Belleview
I’m splittin’ atoms, spittin’ flames, bringin’ change, things’ll never be the same
I got the rap game singing “At Last” like Etta James, lames get they plane shot down like John McCain
Its’s a dream, it’s a dream, the flow’s elegant like Miss Coretta Scott King
A lot of kings seen death and turned queen, crack they 24 inch rims in the ravine
Respect the architect, never test the Elohim, goodnight this is Jay Elect live from New Orleans.
Here’s week two of the antisteez podcast. I need to give a shout out at the dudes over at 2dopeboyz.com for hooking me up with all this unreleased shit and freestyles and all that other good shit. As far as Tato recording the podcast’s, I believe that will start next week. So look out for that.

Kees van Dijkhuizen brings us the sequel to last years video. 1 Year, 342 Movies, 12 Months of hard work, 7 Minutes. 2009 proved that innovation is rewarded, and for that reason, I’ve decided no film should be left behind. I’ve nearly tripled the amount of footage used in 2008: A Tribute To The Movies. This project was purely non-profit and not aimed at breaking copyright laws…. Just sayin’
Here’s a list of all the films, so you can instantly bash me here if I missed one: CLICK THIS

Black Milk talks about three different albums he’s working on for 2010 on this video. One of them being his solo project “Album of the Year”. We have the first single off of that album, and it’s fucking FIRE. One of the other albums he speaks of is the drop of the Random Axe joint. Random Axe is Guilty Simpson, Sean Price and Black Milk producing. I shouldn’t have to mention how crazy that album is going to be. Black Milk does all production on all three albums and is also the MC of his solo project.

Smoke City were an English band, who blended acid jazz and trip hop, borrowing from Brazilian styles such as samba and bossa nova. They are best known for their single “Underwater Love”, which was a major hit in 1997, after being used in a Levi’s television advertisement, “Mermaids” (directed by Michel Gondry).
In 1997, the band released their first album Flying Away, which included several hits like “Underwater Love”, “Mr. Gorgeous (and Miss Curvaceous)” and “Águas de Março (Joga Bossa Mix)”. Smoke City’s next album, Heroes of Nature was released in 2001. An extended version of Heroes of Nature had three more tracks than the original, one of them being a cover version of John Lennon’s “Imagine”.
