Google and Blogger, at least when I got the warning yesterday, made my post into a draft after it received a DMCA take-down warning for this post (from the dimwitted IFPI who doesn't know how to get with the (online) times) instead of its usual ask-no-questions auto-delete methods. This is a welcome change, as a music/movie/media/pop culture blog, its nice to have some warning then to see a post get deleted. As you can see, I removed the infringing copyright material and still allowed the viewers (you guys!) to sample the music. Once September rolls around, I'm going to figure out how to integrate iTunes into this whole mess...

If this change is permanent, I welcome it (as it is about damn time!) as we know Google (for the most part) are forerunners for electronicrevolution...but not necessarily freedom...

PS - came on to fix the posts I posted below - mobile posting seems to not support link creation so I gotta figure that out. Enjoy!

DEAR SUMMER

8/26/2009 12:08:00 PM , , 0 comments

Dear summer, I know you gon' miss me/
we've been together like bbq and crisp breeze/
Mini dots with the plastic spoon/
Black label sh*t with the barrels leanin'/
Gimme til' next year, sh*t I might just come in/
A couple words like beaches and shores/
We'll be reunited and it feels so real/
Have the whole world saying "How you still so good?"



Haha I'm just playing, I ain't Jay-Z - but this is real. Dear summer, I'm gonna miss you and I want to enjoy the last little bits, so please keep the weather good and the work down to a minimum - I'll be back before you know it, but until then I'll be seein' ya.

I'll be taking a short hiatus until the beginning of September, which means I'll still post some stuff here and there, but until then, get out there and enjoy the lingering moments of summer!

Peace!

PS - below, Jay-Z's "Dear Summer". What was originally a freestyle become a full fledged song for Memphis Bleek's album. Still one of the best beats and flows from HOVA - check it!








The REAL lyrics:

Dear summer, I know you gon' miss me
For we been together like Nike Airs and crisp tees

S dots with polo fleeces

Purple label shit with the logo secret

Gimme couple years, shit I might just sneak in

A couple words and like peaches and herb

We'll be reunited and it feels so hood

Have the whole world saying "How you still so good?"

Well I do this in my slumber summer

I ain't none of these half-assed newcomers,
you know how I do summer
I drop heat,
when you bring the sun up

The combo make niggaz act up,
I pick the gun up

Niggaz back up;
they know I'm not no fronter
I don't talk shit,
I just flip it +Un+ ya

Sorry Lance, I'm just trying to advance my quotes

I ain't making you the butt of my jokes

But let's not stray from what I came to say

To my beloved, think we need some time away

They say if you love it, you should let it out its cage

And fuck it, if it comes back you know it's there to stay

It's tugging, at my heart,
but this time apart is needed

From the public, who should've gave me the pulitz'

Instead gave me they ass to kiss

But you know me, thugging 'til the casket dips

But still shine light down on all my peers

I know they weird... some queer,
I still want them to share

And all the success I received,
I know you can't believe

I still love 'em but they don't love me
They like the drunk uncle in your family

You know they lame, you feel ashamed,
but you love 'em the same

It's like when niggaz make subliminal records

If it ain't directed directly at me, I don't respect it

You don't really want it with Hov,
for the record
I put a couple careers on hold, you could be next kid
Keep entering the danger zone

You gon' make that boy
Hov put your name in a song

If you that hungry for fame, motherfucker
c'mon
Say when, take ten paces and spin
But on another note, bout to take another vaca'

On another boat, goddamn a motherfucker rode

His way out the hood, and I pray that I stay out for good

But any day you know a nigga could

Try and play like he Suge,
then I gotta play like Dutch Schultz

You pass the dutchie, I blast you, trust me

Niggaz can't fuck with me

I'm in a good mood, you lucky,
I got a good groove

And I ain't trying to fuck my thing up

But I will lay down a couple green bucks, get you cleaned up

Now I'm +Pulp Fiction+,
Colt four-fifth and
Young niggaz that blast for me/blasphemy,
no religion


[talking]
Listen here summer baby,
I just believe it's the right thing to do

I got a brand new bitch, corporate America

She showing me a lot of action right now

And I know you put me on my feet and all,
but
I mean, it's time for me to grow
You gotta let me go baby, you gotta let me go


I'm done for now, so one for now

Possibly forever,
we had fun together

But like all good things, we must come to an end

Please show the same love to my friends

Dear summer
