Discovered this mixtape online for free download (big ups to DzynOne). From what I understand its a two disc mixtape put on by DJs Dub Flloyd and Wally Sparks, hosted by Little Brother and Skyzoo, in collaboration (themed) with the televsion cartoon The Boondocks. It’s hard to explain what this means to me. You have to understand my tastes first to understand why this mixtape is a match made in heaven for me. I’ll speak upon it a bit later, I’ve got a long day ahead of me. But for now, GO DOWNLOAD IT.

Musiq Soulchild killed my confidence in others.
Musiq Soulchild destroyed my Faith.
Harsh? Maybe. Even before Musiq sold out, I had a hard time putting my word, name, and/or faith behind people who had the potential of letting me down. In the past, I’ve taken risks putting my faith in things. Most of them held true. Kristy never let me down. Scifen has yet to let me down. Common never let me down. Little Brother has yet to let me down. It took me a while with Dilated Peoples, but now they have my backing… and Proudly might I add.
Publicly expressing which artists I enjoy listening to is synonmous with proclaiming my religious beliefs, boldly stating my political identity, or giving a bouncer my ID at the door. It shows who I am. the music I listen to represents me. So just like words, I choose wisely [see below]. However, as wise as I get for a 21 year old and as picky as I am with my music taste, I still make the same mistake of choosing the wrong people to support. Artists impress me off the bat, then (like most major record label artists) fall into the same faceless world that fitty lives in. It’s gross. And I’m hurt. It feels like I’ve been dumped… in public.
