...The hip-hop generation never gets credit for it, but those songs changed things in the hood. They were political commentary, but they weren't based on theory or books. They were based on reality, on close observation of the world we grew up in. The songs weren't moralistic, but they created a stigma around certain kinds of behavior, just by describing them truthfully and with clarity. One of the things we corrected was the absent-father karma our fathers' generation's created. We made it some real bitch s--- to bounce on your kids. Whether it was Ed O.G. & Da Bulldogs with "Be a Father to Your Child," or Big mixing rage with double entendre (pop duke left ma duke, the f--- took the back way), we as a generation made it shameful to not be there for your kids.

Nas vs Def Jam..
Word is that Nas is ready to put out the Lost Tapes 2, Def Jam says that he can go ahead & put out the album, only If he plans to pay for it out of his own pocket. You can read more on the fuckery here."You don’t get another Nas recording that doesn’t count against my deal….PERIOD! Keep your bullshit $200,000.00 fund. Open the REAL budget. This is a New York pioneers ALBUM, there ain’t many of us. I am ready to drop in the 4th quarter. You don’t even have shit coming out! Stop being your own worst enemy. Let’s get money!

"Fuck an mpc, imma get me a whole god damn orchestra!"
This shit right here is what i will be doing in my retirement! Homeboy by the name of Miguel Atwood Ferguson took it upon himself to pay tribute to producer J-Dilla (G.O.A.T) by getting an orchestra to cover some of his songs. Lemme tell you, he does an amazing job. Here is the Suite for Ma Dukes cover of Take Notice.
Here's the original for reference.
Shouts to Couch N. Couch aka Silky for putting me on to this.
