Short Fuze: Ok, let me just start off by saying that I won't lie to you and say that I wasn't amped about this free agency period, because I was. I thought the Bulls had a legit shot at "the big three". When we first signed Carlos Boozer I was kind of let down, after sitting on it a couple days, I feel like we are a better team. Not championship ready like some people are talking (yes that's actually happening), but I am convinced that those people are just seeing a name and the large number of …

Let me start off by thanking anyone that has purchased or listened to Lobotomy Music, because of all the support I have received, it has already been a success. Even though the record just dropped a few days ago, Nasa and myself have got nothing but positive feedback. I have been putting out music for 10 years and rapping for 15 years, but I never had a feeling or response like this. I think its because when you are in group with 2 other people, you can deflect and divert attention to different avenues. …

Disclaimer: The following list is my 14 favorite Hip Hop albums ( I know odd number, I couldn't narrow it down to ten). This list in no way reflects my opinion on the greatest MC's, (even though this list contains some of them) because I can hear you purists now: "Where's Rakim and Krs-One?" This list is a simple reflection of albums that when I heard them coming up, they shaped my MC style in some way and even when I listen to them now, I still get that feeling that I got when I first heard …

The other day I was at work and I came across someone I went to high school with. It had been awhile since I have seen them and as usually the case with people I haven't seen in a long time the questions that comes up most is, "You still making music?" Of course the answer is yes, then the usual publicity barrage begins on my end: "Here is my card, I'm down with a label out of New York called Uncommon Records, check the website, download the free mixtapes that I posted on the site, join …

First, I want to thank all the people that showed up to The Solidarity show at El Gran Teocalli in Milwaukee on Friday night. I would also like to apologize to the Guerrilla Republic. I am truly sorry that an event you all worked hard to put together got shut down by ignorance. I will admit, I was skeptical at first because there was no one there. I thought it was going to be one those shows where no one shows up and we would rock in front of an empty room. Then to my amazement, the place started to …

I was sitting here checking my email and I realized something...we have become a password and social network driven society. I have different passwords for: (here we go, ready?) 3 emails, Myspace, Twitter, Ning, Youtube, my website, access to my bank account, Paypal, Itunes, my cdbaby account, my computer, Playstation Network, PIN for the ATM, various stores I shop at online, 5 different passwords I have to access at work and probably a few more I can't think of right now. To me that's pretty …

I went on vacation this past weekend to Las Vegas and let me say it was one of the best times I have had in awhile. Myself and my buddy Jeremy went out there for the fan expo and UFC 100, we arrived on Wednesday night. We stayed at the Luxor, it was really cool it is pyramid shaped and has massive high ceilings. Let me just say this, to the people that told me that food was really cheap in Las Vegas I am going to punch you in the balls and then spit on you. That is what i spent a good portion of my money …

So in my many many boring hours that I spend at work I sometimes find myself analyzing people and my surroundings. The other day I was just people watching and was just breaking down the differences between individuals. It got to the point where I started breaking people down like technology and how some people are just cut from different parts. Take myself for instance, I have a mild case of cerebral palsy so my reaction time physically is slowed down at times. The left side of my body is slower than …

By: Short Fuze Ok...maybe I am just being ignorant here but you know what irritates the shit out of me...? Preppy kids who walk around with their caps broke off to left or right. As with anything and almost everything in hip hop culture is being absorbed into different social settings, this is just one more thing being mimicked without the different parties tracing where this "fashion trend" came from. I don't know how it is in NYC or L.A. or anywhere else for that matter, but here in Chicago …

By: Short Fuze So I'm at work today (Best Buy) and two Russian guys come up and one of them asks: "What do you need to fill out a credit application?" I said: "A Drivers License, Credit Card and valid Social Security Number." He turns to his friend and tells him what he needs and then he asks for a credit application, so I asked him: "If you don't mind me asking, how long has your friend been here?" (Because typically if a person just arrived here from another country he or …
