an OFWGKTA special

Just got mad inspired by what canikickit said down there... And on the #earl note, here's a sick (although short) cut by EARL himself.

Earl Sweatshirt - Dat Ass

Percee P

The man. The legend.

[Jon’s had to err. . . disappear for awhile. FREE JON, FUCK EARL]

The lethal lyricist rhyme inspector emcee Percee P is the man to praise. With his impeccable rapid fire delivery, which I’d rank second only to early G. Rap, Percee is regarded as a pioneer of fast rap and since first appearing on wax alongside D-Nique on “Let the Homicides Begin” in '88 he's gone on to feature on records with/outshined emcees such as Lord Finesse, Edan, Jedi Mind Tricks, Jurassic 5 & Aesop Rock.

It wasn’t until 2007, 19 years since after his first single, that Percee finally released his debut album, adequately titled Perseverance. Lyrically, Percee attacks each track with his trademark flow, constantly bombarding the listener with internal rhyme patterns. Raw Heat (45 version) is one of only two songs which has literally left me slack jawed as until that point, I hadn't heard a flow as somethin' fierce as Percee's. True story. On the production tip, Madlib came with mad heat, which should be expected at this point in his career but despite his consistency, Madlib can occasionally craft sub-par beats and in this case the worse beat is "Put it on the line" which is, simply put - annoying/grating. Below this, I've included a video of the legendary cypher between Percee and Finesse. . . just because. What, I need a reason to post this shit?

Weekly Women Wednesday - Emmanuelle Chriqui

This week's Wednesday post is on Emmanuelle Chriqui (note: you pronounce her last name as "shriek-y". so yeah, you can infer from there..). Famous for her character on Entourage, she's also been on a lot of bad movies that I've watched purely for her. She was in Snow Day back in the 90's, but I can't say anything about that because she was like 14. But currently, she's the picture of perfection. I have a theory that God put her together himself, but he won't reply to my emails. But anyways, you know the drill. After the jump check the pictures. And in case you didn't know, if you click the photos, you'll see the HQ version. Thank me later.
