Spread Love its the Hip Hop Way!

I don't subscribe to one day encompassing all what "love" has to offer. Yet, these songs are a some of what Hip Hop has to offer on the table as far as relationships between a man and his lady..take heed to the song's lyrics. You may get some real insight if you listen carefully..just like in any successful relationship. Although you must 1st have love for oneself, so you can spread love. Have love for today and EVERYDAY you are blessed to be with those who "got cha back"..front, and sides too! WORD. UNO AMOR

Lyrics to go- "Black Thought/Malik B"- 100% Dundee"



One of the most slept on lyricist in the MC realm is Black Thought of The Roots, hands down! And despite his absence with the group for a number of years, Malik B on a bad day is still a threat. These two keep their tongue blades sharp by going back and forth on this song 100% Dundee off of the Things Fall Apart album. Even though this is my favorite group of all time, their flows speak for themselves, pure rawness. -K-Easy

[Black Thought]
Yo! On these seventy-three keys, of ivory and ebony
I swear solemnly that I'll forever rock steadily
People wanna know where Malik? He right next to me
The weaponry, the secret recipe
Hard to peep this, deep shit, shows I eat with
Contaminated thoughts I walk the street with
I bayonnet cassettes and chop beats with
this olympic lyricism you can't, compete with
Globe travellin, throwin your verse like a javelin
Things Fall Apart and MC's unravellin
Backstage whisperin to management like
"change the order, it's no way that we can rock after them"
My man sport the 'fro like _What's Happenin?_
From the latest hi-atus, The Roots back again
Your crew practicin to catch this natural blend
They packages read "care when handlin"
It's all soft shit, batteries not included with
Matter of fact, your whole front's a re-enactment
I blow your ba-tty ass into fragments, P-5-D
The new testament, mic specialist, what?

Yeah
Check it out, yo (3X)
Yo yo, Black Thought, I represent the Fifth Dynasty
Lyrical click, 100% Dundee

[Malik B]
Malik B, I represent the P-5-D
Guerilla click, 100% Dundee

The Milli-illitant-tant, 'pon cock, ready to rock
Power out, in the clout, it seems out, all through your block
Posse don't play the cut, but what, you get sheist
Got the personality named trife, ready to heist
Smashin 'graphs, snatch the ice, crush your mental device
Thought twice, shoulda thought once, got played for the dunce
Dialogues I moderate, cool out, we outta state
Just blendin in the great, give me room to ventilate
Most niggaz is fraudulent, the rap seargeant
Bargin, through your regiment, call your president
Hittin all targets cuz it's a cause that's lost
Between the killers when they probably Teddy Ruxpin talk
Droppin tears of steel, two drops up in the bucket
Facin three ? and a cop so yo fuck it
If I get abducted, trapped up in the belly
Wacked up my celly, get known like Dawn Stanley
You know the deally on the daily in the ?
If I sense you got a bend to your kite, then send it up
We press up on your corner with windows they're tinted up
Lay our props face down on the ground and get it up, what?
Face on the ground and get it up

(Repeat chorus)

[Black Thought]
Check it out
While you pose for pictures, I'm the invisible enigma
Down low, scope you off the roof like the fiddler
Cage you up in the vocal booth, you're held prisoner
Watch, while I'm bangin out this hot shit from Sigma
Illa-del-P-A, live without a DJ
And it's been that way, since Sergio Vallente
Yo, The Roots holdin it down, is all you can say
Plus the Black Thought em-cey, professional-lay
Push pen to paper like Chinua Achebe
Thumpin, what was your assumption
I lace your function, make it a Black Thought production
Word up I'm on somethin, stellar hold off course
I'm gone bluntin, travel light and broadcast
via satellite, Illa-Fifth Dynamite
Lyrically calculus in this arithametic hip-hop metropolis
But loyal fiends coppin this hot shit
Yaknahmsayin? Hot shit, word up
Illa-Fifth hot shit y'all

(repeat chorus)

Joey of TPA, March Madness, mucho ensalada pt. 2











So I shall… proceed…. and continue….(c) The Roots(Do You Want More Album)

Yes, so like I was sayin previously we got a lot to do on our end, therefore, we’re trying to stay fit and eat little better thanks to "Positive KK” for the reinforcement. The least we could do is eat a salad with our meal get our proper nutrition on. WE can’t afford to not perform at our best(or close to it). So salads for everyone!!
We talked with our good friend “Joey of TPA” and he gave us sum knowledgable jewels(ideas) and people to possibly contact for the project. Plus his clothing line SL-9 is sick. Check him out on his blog as well: www.sl-9.blogspot.com . With resolve and our peoples assistance, we are moving forward to make this project, word. Now for those b-ball heads like myself, this is the time where we can't get enough of the NCAA tourney i.e. picking brackets for your team(s), taking that extra 15 min. lunch to check the scores of games that day, debating with friends/co-workers of what player at what school has “the goods.” , etc. Myself included, I get swept up in the craziness even though I have to admit I'm not as deeply rooted in it as I was growing up but its still interesting to see how these “kids” perform under pressure in these “ one(loss) and u done” games. They come as a team they go out as a team…we here at PRECISE MINDS follow that same mindset. Our tourney is this film and we don’t play to lose, so stay up with us because even though we not be the the top pick on poeple’s list don’t count us out…we gotta a lot of games(projects) to win do and goals to fulfill…….see u in the championship mayne.
