The M.I.A. sample is $$$.
I might venture to say that this beat > the verses spit on the track. But hey, you really can’t go wrong with TIP, Mr. West, Jigga, and Weezy f. Baby on one track.

Blueprint 3?

All signs point to yes.
Hopefully the rumors of Timbaland handling the bulk of the production aren’t true. No offense to you Timbo stans out there.
Hov blesses the GITD tour in NYC with Jockin.

I don’t normally do this..
But this right here is the TRUTH. If there was ever an album to spend money on a 5-song EP, this is that album. Off the strength of the first single “Wild International,” I can tell you that this is some epic sh*t.
One Day As A Lion are:
Zack de la Rocha
Jon TheodoreAnti- Records is pleased to announce the signing of One Day As A Lion. An on-going creative collaboration between two like-conscioused individuals, One Day As A Lion will release their eponymous debut EP worldwide on July 22nd.
The band writes:
“One Day As A Lion is both a warning delivered and a promise kept.”
“A defiant affirmation of the possibilities that exist in the space between kick and snare. It’s a sonic reflection of the visceral tension between a picturesque fabricated cultural landscape, and the brutal socioeconomic realities it attempts to mask. One Day As A Lion is a recorded interaction between Zack de la Rocha and Jon Theodore from Los Angeles, California.”
“The name taken from the infamous 1970 black and white, captured by legendary Chicano photographer George Rodriguez featuring a center framed tag on a white wall in an unspecified section of Boyle Heights. It reads: ‘It’s better to live one day as a lion, than a thousand years as a lamb.’ This record is a stripped down attempt to realize this sentiment in sound

we cannot change the cards that are dealt, just how we played the hand
Although a bit late on this posting but its still deserving.
If you haven’t heard about Randy Pausch you should do some research immediately (try youtube for starters). Sadly, Randy passed away on friday. While I don’t read or finish many of the books I own, his book The Last Lecture, was one that I finished and enjoyed.
RIP Randy Pausch
