Black Thought recording hot new track in Japan!

Rza wants to record next Wu album NAKED?

yep, and he wants everyone else naked too... umm eww.

The Rza Pictures, Images and Photos

"So far we haven’t recorded anything, but conversations have been coming up though. That’s pretty interesting to hear the conversations come up about maybe us going in and doing one more fuckin’ killer album, but this time just have everybody take they shirt off—even me, take my shirt off from the door. So instead of coming in with your ideas and this and that, everybody just come in naked and build it from there. I think that’s something that we never actually ever did. Usually I had all the ideas or something or some brothers had predetermined ideas, but I think now, it’s like everybody in the crew is a master at what they do. And so we all got to accept that, even me, that as the Abbot I gotta accept that. If we take that approach, I’m pretty sure we would come with something very, very unique. I don’t know if that’s gonna happen, but there are conversations."

"I feel like hip-hop is coming to sort of a..i dare say…an end???…(no pun intended). It's not the same energy…hasn't been for a long time…just a bunch of nothing out there…take it how u may…I hope the new vanguard proves me wrong and brings back the day of substance minus the webcam video to announce its return....so many "what the fuck?!?!" moments have piled up so incredibly over the last few years that it begs a rethink of the trajectory of the art form." -Lupe Fiasco

New Gieco commercial song is Michael Jackson!



The refrain IS Michael Jackson. Rockwell's birth name Kenneth Gordy, as in Motown king Berry Gordy's son. Rockwell wasn't so much a name as his opinion of what he did. :) Kenneth and MJ were friends growing up so he figured that his friend could become useful when he tried to launch his singing career. It worked for that one song. LOL
