Thought out Thursdays..

"I came to the conclusion that most of these cats is featherweight, let me demonstrate".. Now that my top 10 album's list is done, you guys may have a better perspective on what I'm into or what inspires me.It's crazy too because I love so many more albums and 10 is a small number when there's so much out. I also am inspired by other music genres other than Hip Hop/ Rap whatever you want to call it. To make light of my introductory quote, I meant that a lot of garbage is out so I find myself going to those other types of music for inspiration. I posted on my www.facebook.com/planetaryaotp page, an example I won't dwell on that but check it when you get a second. I just mentioned to my brother in law that my favorite Pandora station is Sade's. I just can't get inspired as much by today's Hip Hop like I want. Sometimes, just not as often. Why is it? I'm not sure exactly. One thing I do know is the sound of today's rap isn't as timeless as it was in the late 80's and 90's. The Golden Era was a time that will never be replaced or topped. I still like new shit as well, obviously, it's just different. Not as much substance in the lyrics, not as much effort in the production. Those things we, as Outerspace, thrive on making sure we keep alive. I come across a lot of really good music , other than rap. Old and new that take me where I need to be, to write, or just get through my every day shit.A father of 4 with three in baseball, is a tough gig, and only thing that helps me is music. I was told I only listen to hip hop because of my list because my homie Dan wasn't familiar with Capital Pun, because of his heavy Rock period he was going through at the time. So now he's purchased Capital Pun and is revisiting and I'm waiting to hear what he thinks. I actually listen to a lot of other shit. Hip Hop for me is my passion and livelihood, it is #1 for me. I often throw Sade in my whip, or Maxwell, or even Morgan Heritage, just to name a few. Every true mc , i know do the same. Sometimes rap becomes too much and your ears need a rest. That being said, enjoy this .Big up to my Holland connect SLY for putting me on to Morgan Heritage, I've been hooked since.

Top 10 Hip Hop Albums of all Time. #1 !!!

Photobucket Got a letter from the government The other day I opened and read it It said they were suckers They wanted me for their army or whatever Picture me given' a damn I said never Here is a land that never gave a damn About a brother like me and myself Because they never did I wasn't wit' it but just that very minute... It occured to me The suckers had authority Cold sweatin' as I dwell in my cell How long has it been? They got me sittin' in the state pen I gotta get out - but that thought was thought before I contemplated a plan on the cell floor I'm not a fugitive on the run But a brother like me begun - to be another one Public enemy servin' time - they drew the line y'all To criticize me some crime - never the less They could not understand that I'm a Black man And I could never be a veteran On the strength, the situation's unreal I got a raw deal, so I'm lookin' for the steel this is the best rap album ever made. the passion, the power and the production on this album is timeless. This is when I knew rap was here to stay. I wish I could relive these moments when this was out. Everything was so inspirational i used to get goosebumps and still do when i hear anything off this album. Chuck D was the shit. His voice, his dominance on songs was something to educate yourself with if you are a new mc , just starting out. This is the Bible of Hip Hop. The whole imagery they presented was brilliant. S1W's , Terminator X, Chuck and the almighty Flav? Shit was so dope. I can't even put into words what this album means to me. I really can't. This is the best ALBUM EVER.

Top 10 Hip Hop ALBUMS OF ALL TIME ! #2

Photobucket "THE BUCK THAT BOUGHT A BOTTLE COULDA STRUCK THE LOTTO" (words to live by) I remember hearing Nas on" Live at the Barbecue" when he said " when I was twelve , I went to hell for snuffin' Jesus" I said: WHOAAAAA you're allowed to say that? haha , I knew Nas was gonna be my favorite Mc when Illmatic dropped. "It ain't Hard to tell" was a lyrical masterpiece.He had production from the best producers around, and his flow was flawless. There isn't a bad song on this album . No song falls short of amazing. It also introduced AZ who still is a monster. "Life's a Bitch" was unreal with how dope both those verses were. Nas spit that 'understandable smooth shit that murderers moved wit'" He was the DOPEST rapper out. Anybody hot at the moment was forcefully cooled down. He raised the bar. He rocked that skully with the brim which the streets embraced. "I sneak an uzi on the island in my army jacket lining" WHAT? I can sit here all day and quote this album. He said the craziest shit I ever heard outside of Rakim. One Love , Halftime, Represent, The World is Yours, Ny State of Mind? Come on yo, stop playing. THIS ARGUABLY IS THEE BEST ALBUM EVER PRESENTED TO HIP HOP! Hands down! Why is it #2? Find out tomorrow. There is one album that I feel was my heaviest influence and is the best ablum EVER , outside of just rap. Vibe off this close second. Peep the lyrics. I still go back to this when I need that inspiration..

Top 10 Hip Hop albums of all time #3

Photobucket I know what y'all going to say.. This is racially biased. Haha joke's on you. Fortunately, this album happens to be incredible. Now, being Puerto Rock was very very very inspirational to me, I won't lie but it didnt matter what he was when it came to his lyrical ability. He put words together like no one ever has. He had that fast, syllable for syllable flow that was amazing. He put the best cats around on his album and burnt everybody. From Black Thought, Inspectah Deck, Prodigy, Wyclef, and more. He may have the heaviest impact on my motivation to make this a career more than anybody because of his race, and the lack of Puerto Ricans making a presence in hip hop through rhyming. That number was way too low for mc's. He came out and shocked the world and helped people like me across the world. This assured us we can make money off rap, and /or be accepted by the masses. His favorite mc was mine. Kool G. Rap. He was a New York , platinum cat that recognized the dopeness of Black Thought. That was big for me. I was on my Philly shit hard then.I often argue his talent and how it's down played a little. People say "yeah he was dope" and that's wrong. He was fuckin' incredible. He was better than everybody at that point. His rhymes were mind boggling how they were put together, and his album was hard body. He kept comin with the raw shit immediately after his commercial joint which , in all honestly was fun, and still had respect from the hip hop heads. He killed that too. He was just another level at that point. No one was spittin with that hunger and that ability at the moment. I think the only person who played this album more than me was King Syze and MAYBE Vinnie. Classic.

Top 10 Hip Hop albums of all time #4

Photobucket "Back in the days when I was a teenager, before I had status and before I had a pager. you could find the Abstract listening to Hip Hop, Pops used to say it reminded him of Be-Bop" A lot of people say Midnight Marauders is their best album , but like I said, I base this list on my personal favorites, and experiences with these albums. When I saw We've Got the Jazz w/Buggin' Out video, and The Scenario , I was in another world. The flow of Q-Tip was smooth and his lyrics were sharp but delivered with no force or attitude. It spoke for itself in a way. Phife was the wild cat , he topped off the duo well, he never messed a song up for me but Tip was the forefront obviously. The production was flawless on here throughout.I might have ran this album into the hole more than any album ever. I still know every word to every song, and still think of the good times with the crew rockin' this album on the big speakers. Then the collab with Brand Nubian, was basically a lesson you can still learn from today. I mean, anyone from this era knows the impact Native Tongues put on the game. I feel this is their strongest album to date. Q-Tip was definitely my favorite mc for a while. Enjoy the masterpiece below, this song is definitely in my top joints ever too, that's coming next, and that's going to be hard.

Top 10 Hip Hop Albums of all Time #5

Photobucket OK OK OK i know, better than Hard to earn? Here's why.Gang Starr already made their mark at that point. Jeru was new on the scene, and he came out with Come Clean on a whole different page, style, flow, everything. Premo production once again, what else can I say? This album is my shit. That come clean beat is probably the most rapped over beats in history. Mc's had to take a crack at it, it was too crazy. Remember that feeling? It's a shame what this new batch of kids have to rap over to make some noise. "D' Original" "Jungle Music", " Can't Stop the Prophet", "Bitches" , the list goes on. Not one bad song. That sums up a classic. When he came out , he was definitely a new sound, so I clinged onto to this album hard, it was, and still is on heavy rotation for me. This was a great year in hip hop so it had a ton of competition and did more than hold its weight. Crazy jawn on here was "D.Original".. Shit was amazing. Enjoy the video, and come back tomorrow for #4. "there's more hard times, than on Good Times, and most niggas dedicate they life to crimes"

Top 10 Hip Hop Albums of All Time #6

Photobucket "Lemonade was a popular drink and it still is" REST IN PEACE GURU...Now, if you follow Outerspace you know damn well how we feel about Gang Starr. We did a tribute mixtape with @DjSat1 (follow on Twitter) which had a great response. Shortly after, Guru passed away. What can I say about Hard to Earn? Well, let's just say without this album the puzzle of Hip Hop would be incomplete. Just the production alone is absolutely, another level, that STILL has not been surpassed or overshadowed. You cant have beats like Code of the Streets , Tonz O Gunz , Now You're Mine, and Dwyck and not consider this one of the best albums Hip Hop has offered. Obviously, fully produced by Dj Premier you can expect nothing less. This album, literally bonded me and my homies as kids, young teenagers whatever. We recited this front to back on the daily, nightly, weekly, and whatever else you want to add.Suckas need Bodyguards? I mean, need I say more? seriously. I will though. Gang Starr is , to me, the best DJ/MC combo to ever do it. All classic albums. From No More Mr. Nice Guy, Step in the Arena, Take it Personal, to Hard to Earn , the quality remained flawless. It's a shame we won't have a chance to hear this combination again.. RIP Guru. Enjoy the classic video, let it motivate you..

Top 10 Hip Hop Albums of All Time #7

Photobucket 9-11-2001 , a huge day in the history books for our country huh? Ironically so , Bin Laden was announced dead yesterday and this is my #7. Same day as our country's biggest disaster, HOV released one of my favorite albums of all time. Jay-Z , to me, is thee best rapper in the world right now, and will retire as the G.O.A.T. He is the most consistent, point blank, period. Again, this is my personal favorites , and opinions. I don't do these to debate. This album production wise, lyric wise, and creatively is a hands down classic. There is not a bad song on here despite the heavy radio play. The songs were dope and still are. He managed to body Nas, and Prodigy. Have the balls to put Eminem on Renegade knowing Em would get the upperhand and still satisfy the hardcore street fans and lace a classic with M.O.P. Jay, to me is the perfect role model for up and comin rappers. He makes timeless albums, and remains respected by all genres, races, cultures,and whatever you can think of. Sometimes I hear people say they dont like an album but to me, in 5 years they will understand it. He's always ahead of the time in music, he's in. 2001 was important for me, we had just released our first vinyl and landed a situation to stay with future releases. And Hip Hop to me was on a down slide. This was a breath of fresh air. We needed this album, and he knew it. This was the comeback. The sign that it's never gonna leave us for good.I'm sure people will disagree and say he's mainstream and use that to hate this opinion, but Jay will BODY most rappers in the game right now. He made a classic, and I memorized every song within a week. Thats the sign and how I determined this list. What Cd's did I absolutely run into the hole? What albums do i have every song memorized ? if you cant pick your favorite song on a cd, its probably in your top list. I can't explain more how much this album made an impact on everything. This was released on 9/11 the day it happened and still did its expected first week numbers. There's a reason for that. No one else would have accomplished that in Rap. No one. Skip the ad

Top Hip Hop albums of all time #8

Photobucket Do you remember when the Cappadonna verse from Winter Warz was first circulating? HOLY SHIT! "See my face on a hundred dollar bill" I know typically everyone says the Purple tape, which, if I was doing a top 15, it would be here , but for some reason Iron Man is my favorite Wu album. Ghost is one of the successful members STILL bangin out great albums , so maybe I saw the potential then, I don't know. First off "Winter Warz" and the Cap verse was incredible, then "All I got is You" hit radio and " pluckin roaches out the cereal box" , was the realest shit a rapper ever said. "Faster Blade" was just RAE and incredible. "Asssassination Day" is maybe the best WU beat ever. And you can never forget the vulgarity on "Wildflower" this nigga Ghost was top notch on this shit. i can boast about every dope song on here but y'all should already know. My best memory of this album was me and all my homies from the block got all together, hopped on the bus, and went to "The Wall". Remember that place? With the blue sticker? Haha yeah, we all went and bought the tape, cd, and even vinyl. So excited, ripping the packaging apart on the bus,all the fun things about being a fan those days. Now it's boring. I remember us freaking out when we heard "Assassintaion Day", good times. I dont have to explain the impact Wu put on the game but it definitely hit me like a ton of bricks, and this to me is Wu at it's best. The mixes were improved, and the creativity and topical side of Wu was revealed. GFK for President fuck Donald Trump!!!

Top 10 Hip Hop albums of all time. # 9

Illadelph Halflife As much as I want Black Thought to do a solo album with all the dopest producers on the planet, I have accepted it's never going to happen. Especially now that they're getting that Jimmy Fallon money. All I can say, at age 32 is, "whatever". Although this album, "Illadelph Halflife" is on my top 10, I still am disappointed to never hear a solo. This album did a lot for me as an mc because it meant a lot to me that one of the dopest lyricist, and albums came out of Philadelphia. To this day with his features on Saigon's album, Raekwon's newest album , and Ghostface's album, he has proved he is still amongst the dopest mc's in the game.It seems like he doesn't even try and still baffles me with every line. When this album came out, I was fresh out of High School starting my road to the rap world. This is when me and Crypt got real serious with our rap careers. I like to always say I was Nas until Black Thought came around. In that this is who I studied , and tried to duplicate. I learned a lot about not saying the biggest words in the world but using a lot of words in a line and being on beat without it sounding like a struggle. Which I feel Black Thought has perfected. I remember first hearing the song "Section" and he said "I'm known to par-lay with Gar-cia Vega cigar" I was like WOAH! This was definitely a new style, a new way of spittin' and amazing to me. I listened to this album all day, every day. Literally.The reason this goes ahead of "Let the rhythm hit'em" is because my focus was a career at this point in my life. It WAS 1996 and I had been writin' and been gettin' heavy influences already but this one hit home, and I still study Thought to improve MY game. Hope you give this a listen if you're new to the culture and missed out. For the record, "Do you want more" was a top album for me but this one i would say did more because the band sound strayed on this one and went more b-boy. This was more hard body. He started saying more shit I wanted to hear on songs. Listen to his wordplay on this shit, seriously...

Top 10 Hip Hop albums of all time . #10

I battle myself about who the best rapper of all time is. It's between Kool G.Rap and Rakim. Oddly, Kool G. Rap doesn't have an album in my top 10 BUT because of his longevity and the way he STILL, to this day, bodies EVERY joint I hear him on, I give it to Kool G. Rakim unfortunately being the most amazing lyricist of his day , didn't fall into the path that G-Rap did. Fortunately for this top 10 he made the #10 slot with "Let the Rhythm Hit'em" . I remember when the self titled single came out with the video, and that little midget was running wild, I was amazed by The God's lyrics. I couldn't believe how crazy his word play was at that time. It was 1990, no one was as clever and crazy with their content as Rakim. If there was , they weren't spitting a fraction of what Ra was spitting. This album had hits like "In the Ghetto" which as hard as you can get. Then if you go back to review anything off of this album you may not know, look for "No Omega". He completely murdered that shit! Run for Cover, Mahogany, Untouchables, all joints that helped me get through my early stages of lyric formation. It taught me to be clever, be original, and just sound good on a beat. One thing I admired about B.I.G was he became the beat. B.I.G wrote to a beat like he was an instrument, and I feel that came from being in NY , and growing up listening to emcees like Rakim. It was, and is, an art that I feel Rakim created. So, this is #10 and I gotta figure out my #9. My 10 is set, just gotta really put it together correctly. Find out #9 tomorrow and for now, enjoy this video with the crazy midget. "Hit'em from point blank range,and watch'em radiate"

A new beginning..

Good Morning World.Today is a good day. The weather is nice,and there's good music to listen to. It's safe to say that "Fear of God" is my favorite shit right now, it's on constant rotation. Last time we spoke, I was informing you on Alchemist, and Prodgiy's free digital Ep's. Both DOPE! This time around, I'm excited about, yet another FREE digital EP of 13 songs , which to me is an album but whatever. It comes for N.O.R.E, who is my shit! He ain't the sharpest lyricist on Earth but he makes songs, and that's what counts in my book. It was released on Easter and Noreaga being him, named it N.O.R.Easter, Hahaha. You can get it here: http://nahright.com/news/2011/04/23/n-o-r-e-n-o-r-easter-mixtape/ Here's a video for it too. Nore Shot Somebody. I'm not sure how I feel about all this free music established artists are putting out. It's good to the consumer, but me personally wouldn't mind paying for it. It's seems lke people are giving up on the "make money off your record" idea. I really don't agree that is the way to think but then again, I totally understand being an "underground" artist myself. We have never made a dime off of our records BUT we HAVE had advances , and had that feeling of Labels, and making money. Of course, it was obviously the label but we stll have our fans and hit the road, and get paid to perform and have the opportunty to sell merchandise online and at shows. I get putting out mixtapes to promote the album but I also think your money spent on a mixtape can be used to promote the album you are selling. Nowadays people get that freebee and they're good with just that. With so much competition, I think your window is open for a minute, and you should take full advantage of what you can make money on. So it's a catch 22. The game is crazy, and I really feel bad for these newcomers who unfortunately will have to accept this music shit as a hobby. It's the harsh reality of it unless you're connected which still most likely means nothing. So, as the music game takes a new beginning and makes this harder for people like me, I am willing to take the challenge. I will be on the road after My Brother's Keeper drops on August 23rd, and will be selling everything I can. I just wish the supporters wouldn't get sucked into this new beginning when it comes to buying cd's and loving the cd packaging and keeping that part of music alive. Accept the free music as a thank you for purchasing the ones we are selling. That is all for today and I hope you can help me spread the word on this blog and enjoy the new NORE.

Zack and Cody.

So, being a father of 4 , on a spring break off of school for the boys, I'm stuck watching these horrible kiddie shows on Nickelodeon all day. Fortunately, Phllies have a 1pm start today so the clock's tickin'. as I search the internet for today's happs in hip hop , I come across yet another free downloadable Ep from the legendary Alchemist and his new artist Curren$y . It's called Covert Coup. Here's the link.http://nahright.com/news/2011/04/20/currensy-alchemist-covert-coup-ep/#more-276045 I haven't listened yet but I'm expecting good things. Alc is a monster. I was on youtube yesterday and was on bored, random search mode and I know I'm super late probably but I came across these "What's In my bag" clips that Amoeba Music does with random artist. It's pretty interesting because you see what other artist are buying, supporting, or buying for samples, etc.. I saw Mos Def, Questlove, Alchemist and Evidence, Large Pro,and a lot of other people. If you never checked it, do so, it's pretty cool. Just a heads up on that, trying to share new things I see, I'm kinda new to having total devotion to the internet so if I'm late on shit, bare with me. I thought this was cool of the ones I saw . It's Krs-One with his son shopping. And, in watching this I never knew of the EPMD reissue he speaks of, now I gotta shop for it. Check it out.

Hip Hop is dead?........ I beg to differ.

I sit on my laptop every single day and listen out for new songs, videos, articles, etc.. I hear, see, and read a lot of cool shit. I read a great interview today from Prodigy from the legendary Mobb Deep. He released an EP exclusively through Complex, I am downloading as I type.He also released a book, that you can buy on Itunes as well. I'm anxious to hear this shit. Here's the link. http://www.complex.com/music/2011/04/download-prodigy-ellsworth-bumpy-johnson-ep .. I also, last night came across a dope new video from one of my favorite mc's , Pusha T from The Clipse. It's off of his Fear of God mixtape. This video and song is incredible. It's called "My God".. Peep it Pusha and Mal are the most underrated rap niggas, period. I also, just copped Guns and Butter from Cam'ron and Vado this morning as well on Itunes. Do yourself a favor, and grab that too. Vado is a beast, and Cam is also a personal favorite of mine. Disagree all you want, but Cam is STILL around, and longevity means something with this rap game. He's dope. POINT IS , HIP HOP IS STILL ALIVE AND KICKIN' , YOU JUST GOTTA PUT MORE OF AN EFFORT TO KEEP UP WITH IT..

My new favorite song.. God Bless the Child..

Jim Jones is definitely someone I usually don't check for. I'm a big Dipset fan, but Capo was one I never understood. As time progresses though, I realize a lot of my squad and rap comrades feel Jim. That makes me usually go back and reevaluate an artist, because there may be something I didn't catch. Now, the more I hear Capo recently, I have been diggin' his shit. Not so much lyrically,but just the production he picks and how he puts things together. On Saturday night Ricky Martin (The singer) was playing in Newark at The Prudental Center where my older brother works.He got my mother and aunt tickets to go so of course they were super excited. Me and my oldest brother's job was to get them there. So, what we did was drop them off and use the wait time of the show to go bust a grub with our wives at me and my brother's favorite place to eat, Rio Rodizio. Formerly known as Seabras Rodizio. This place is unbelievable, to say the least. They got the illest fried bananas and cinnamon pineapple you can ever imagine.After that wonderful experience, we had to drive home in a monsoon of rain. On my ride home , I was lucky to tune into Hot 97, which I don't get the chance to do often. Not sure who was spinning at that time of day. They played this joint where they used the Big Daddy Kane sample "God bless the child that can hold his own" from one of my favorite jams ever, "Raw". It was Wyclef that I heard doing his thing over ths beat using that sample. Shit was fuck'n nasty! It's so refreshing when I hear joints like this but I heard half of the song and they switched to something else. Next day I tweeted that I heard this Clef joint, blah blah blah, but I was on my phone. My man Kev Turner @KevTeezy (follow on Twitter)replied and searched it. It turned out to be a Jim Jones joint off of his new Capo album featuring Clef. Like I said Capo, I'm just really getting to get familiar with, so I'm excited about this song, and now I'm about to cop this "Capo" album off of Itunes and see what else is offered . I hope you guys enjoy this song, it's fuck'n ridiculous IMO.

I don't get it.. I'm confused.

Hello World. So, for those who follow me on facebook you might have seen my post on Ivan "Pudge" Rodriquez. If not, you can see my battle with Vinnie Paz's brother, a great friend of mine, and basically,older brother figure to me as well here --> www.facebook.com/planetaryAOTP . It's actually pretty comical. Here's where I stand with Baseball and the steroid era. One, Ivan Rodriguez was NEVER accused and ever was in the steroid talks. If so, it came and went and nothing was done about it and he was never "caught",I guess. I stated Ivan was amongst the top 3 catchers if not thee best catcher to ever play the game of baseball. Him and fuck'n Vinnie, thru text, as usual, bust my balls and want to claim he is a fraud basically. He wasnt as good as to say , he was top 3 , and no way in hell he is the greatest. I don't know if its the Italian thing but Lenny wants to fight with me about Mike "fat slob" Piazza who wore pitchers out because he couldn't reach the fuck'n mound between pitches. Offensively, Piazza was statistically the best catcher EVER. Now, my point is the catcher position is more focused on being great defensively more than offensively. Which , Pudge defensively was a maniac, and THIS can not, by any way be because of alleged steroid use. I don't feel any of these guys who had greater than Hall of Fame careers should be denied a spot. These guys were great players and basically made their marks before they even experimented with steroid use. So , for Ivan to be looked at by these two morons as a fraud , or as high as top 10 even , to me is outrageous. Ivan had a .302 career battng average, played in 14 all star games, and started in 12. 13 golden gloves,295 hrs (for a steroid user , isnt much). 1217 Rbi's,and the oh so impressive 124 stolen bases. He threw runners out on his knees almost daily. The only two catcher I will let you say were better are Johnny Bench, and Yogi Berra. BUT , i still feel Ivan can be respectfully considered #1. Are these guys kidding me, or trying to make me kill myself from stress? Please leave a comment or your thoughts on this. I wanna know how people feel. And if Paz or Lenny Paz are reading, I hope you's are happy cause now I'm all RILED up ! pause. I know i have to leave you with some hip hop so I'm going to throw it back on this topic. Do the knowledge.

Heavy Metal Kings

Now playing Devil's Rebels which features my brother Crypt the Warchild. I want to shout out my brother's Ill Bill and Vinnie Paz for making an incredible album, and if you have not purchased this yet, please do so. Go to www.heavymetalkings.com and support my family, it's a necessity. I went to the Phillies game with my family for my oldest son's birthday. We played like shit but everyone needs to stop the the negative talk. The series is ours. Remember, it's The Mets. Now,like I said before, I'm trying to keep up with all fresh new shit daily, and sometimes I have to go back to find what I've missed. A key thing for cats like me is, we have to stay studying and observing what the game is doing. What our competition, if you will, is doing. Well, I'm gonna inform you on something new. www.kingsyze.com I want y'all to get familiar and listen to a couple exclusives he has on the site for your listening pleasures.

Grown Ass Man...Today is a good day...

One thing you'll learn about me is I am a baseball fan. I faithfully watch my Phillies and I spend most of my days going to my sons' practices and games. Today I have to be down 17th and Fitzwater to play the Anderson Monarchs with my oldest son Marcus. We have to be there at 8:30 so I gotta make this quick. My other son Mario has a 4:00 game at our home field at Keystone and Unruh in the Northeast. They play the Holy Terrors and no, thats not where we got our AOTP idea, just pure coincidence. So, I'm ready for some baseball because between games, my Phillies play at 1:05 in there 3rd game vs The Astros. We are 2-0 already. @Zillthemonster (follow on Twitter) is very quiet. That's our Houton comrade. HaHa , had to take a stab. So, I'm going to have a fun filled day of nothing but Baseball. Before I go, I wanted to get back to this hip hop because I know that's the main idea here, and that's what my fans want to see. I have two things I want to show you. These are two videos I came across yesterday that I feel the world should know about and see, because these are my brothers, my team..
This one is from Doap Nixon aka @DoapNixon (follow on Twitter). Silent Murders http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cHQzA6JMLw featuring @DjKwestion (follow on Twitter). The other one is from my Camden people Big Lou.. @BigLouHiphop (Follow on Twitter) Peep this http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshhYt429hZ9oUdn992d . Support my peoples. I gotta go. Peace.

Welcome Me....I got an issue already.

So, I gotta call from Enemy Soil headquarters, which , to begin, is my team , my family, and the only people in this game I trust. We're getting everything prepared for "My Brother's Keeper" , which I believe is Outerspace's best work yet. We picked the songs we are going to use, and we are going into Scott Stallone headquarters tomorrow to do some last minute vocals, and start the mixing process. "The Chart" (insider) is about to be poppin'! We are also getting all of our artwork finalized very soon to get our website launched with all the new updates and cover art so we can start teasing the fans till August 23rd. The website is http://www.outerspacehiphop.com/ . So, the phone call was to get all of the producers who made the cut for the album to send sample info of the tracks because there is a website where some fucking nerds are putting everything on blast! Now , what does this mean? That means it says: artist name, what album , and the title of the song. Next to it, the sample and record the beat was made from. So, what this means is lawyers are going on this site and filing lawsuit after lawsuit, after lawsuit. This means people like Outerspace and all of your favorite rappers, are getting more screwed and more screwed. We already are having major issues with trying to make money in this business, this is just making it a million times harder. So, to whatever internet nerds think this a cool , artsy, hiphop thing to do, it's not. The fans are destroying the culture , and destroying the artform by doing stuff like this. It's bad enough we had to accept stealing our music, but limiting us to our ideas, and our creative process is just ridiculous. Stop  being fucking dorks and thinking you're cool and have music knowledge. Just support the music or this music and culture WILL die, thats a promise. You're going to be stuck with all the trash, and all the quality will be gone. So, welcome me to the blog world y'all. If you know me , I spaz on twitter, so follow me there, and come here daily for my everyday thoughts on new mixtapes, albums, and whatever else you wanna talk about. www.twitter.com/planetaryqd  or www.twitter.com/outerspaceAOTP
