I would like to say "Thank you to Kinetik aka The Jointman" for the interview regarding "You Can't Change the World" ft. Mr. Cheeks which was just conducted on his show "The Joints! Show". We will be conducting many more interviews and shows in the present future. I'll post a link to the podcast once the show is available for download.

Peace,

If you don’t know by now, iPhones are the best phones out! I’m not saying this because i’m a proud owner. Who am I kidding, damn right i’m saying this because i’m an owner! An owner who manipulated the device to do more than what’d you expect from the phone. Think: GPS, Old Nintendo Games (Zelda, Super Mario, DonkeyKong and etc.), Simon, Flickr, Facebook, Myspace, RSS, Video Recording, Voice Recorder, Multiple iTunes libraries so you can update music from several locations, and much, much, more.

Most of the people in my immediate circle have upgraded to iPhones. So my point is: contact me if you want/need to upgrade your phone and want it to work with your provider: T-Mobile, Cingular, O2 and etc. The following providers are NOT SUPPORTED because they don’t have SIM cards: Verizon.

If you’re overseas and your provider uses SIM cards, you are in luck. As far as anyone in the tristate area, email me at: (kwote @ thelostlink. com) (spelled with spaces to prevent spam) and let’s schedule a date and time to get you in the club.

My views on the present state of music are as follows: SNAP RAP RUINED THE RAP CULTURE!! Who's with me on this one?

Life before snap rap: Meaningful, even though there are many sub-genres and categories within the artform. Hardcore rap music, even had a message: Don't get it twisted, you will get dealt with.

* I recall when Mobb Deep came out with "Survival of the Fittest" the music was like a mirror image of my daily living conditions and neighborhood. It made me feel as if they were right there in the struggle with me. Nowadays, you'd be lucky to find an ounce of reality in this make believe "everybody's a boss, nobody's an employee" braggadocio songs.

* I recall when Wu-Tang first came out "M.E.T.H.O.D. Man" off of "Enter the 36 Chambers"! WHAT! You couldn't catch a person looking at me or anyone that I hung out with wrong at that time. Everything they said in there songs was a reflection of the conditions we lived in. C.R.E.A.M - we all lust for the cream, even in today's rotten world. Can't it be that it was all so simple, do you understand me?

Remember when... O.D.B. bumrushed the stage at the Grammy's show and said, "Wu-Tang is for the children, we teach the children! Puffy is good, but Wu Tang is the BEST".

That is what we need; but we won't see that again unless we dig for it. Let me introduce you to my way of thinking! One Show Only, my next album will take you to that zone. That feeling of realness. The purity that was instilled by the artists who crafted songs for themselves and the masses.

The general public and the record labels are to blame for the quality of music. We suffer due to the popularity and financial benefits the corporations are reaping because of our negligence. I might be wrong, but it seems to me like YOU JUST DON'T GIVE A HOOT!

In closing:

I would like to make the following statement: "I'm not saying, bring the good days back! I'm saying, let's be real and respect the art and make it better." Don't downgrade my expectations or respect for the art by supplying "trash and demand". I demand respect, I'll be held liable for putting someone in there place if they step to me with nonsense. Rest assured!

It's Approved ("Today's Scriptures"),

What would make someone decrease the value of their worth? Is the market for selling production really that bad when your favorite producer lowers their rates?

What's to make of this current trend that we see on Myspace? I'd like to know the answer to these questions. Someone please enlighten me.

I write to you today to document a post from Ravage regarding his new single: "Crystal Cheeks aka Nympho Citadels" featuring: KWOTE SCRIPTURES from his forthcoming album: "Syntax Erroars".

Check out the present version of the song on his myspace page:

http://www.myspace.com/meccagodzilla

New songs have been added to the Myspace player.

Fat Girls (Don't Be Stupid):
This song derived from an actual altercation that occurred during the recording of "Solidified Ignorance" Vol. 1. The project that was basically made to satisfy the needs of those who like simplicity, and ignorance in it's purest form. Too bad for the other party who was affected by this.

Dedicated:
This song is the second single off of "Today's Scriptures". It is realilty rap, and baded on the true story of me and my significant other. Enjoy the song you might be relate the story.

More songs will be added in the very near future.
