“Get ya’ll fatigues on, all black everything
Black cards, black cars, all black everything
And our girls are blackbirds, riding with they dillingers
I get more in-depth if you boys really real enough”

“all critics can duck sic”

To blow this like a trumpet you dumb shit
This is a un-usual musical I conductin
You lookin at the black Warren Buffett so all critics can duck sic
I don’t care if you C. Delores Tuck-it
Or you Bill O’Reilly, you only rylin me up
For three years, they had me peein out of a cup
Now they bout to free me up, whatchu think I’m gon’ be, what?
Rehabilitated, man I still feel hatred
I’m young black and rich so they wanna strip me naked, but
You never had me like Christina Aguiler-y
But catch me down the Westside, drivin like Halle Berry
Or the FDR, in the seat of my car
Screamin out the sunroof death to y’all
You can’t kill me, I live forever through these bars
I put the wolves on ya, I put a price on your head
The whole hood’ll want ya, you startin to look like bread
I send them boys at ya, I ain’t talkin bout Feds
Nigga them body-snatchers, nigga you heard what I said

Jay-Z Interview (Sessions@AOL, 2001)

2009 has become the new 2005

Folks, remember what happened to music in 2005? Remember when we sat around where the next shift in music would occur? The Strokes, White Stripes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs hurricane woke up the listeners to remind us that creativity was alive, and the industry didnt drown us yet. Somewhere around 2005 we heard an explosion of perfectly recorded tunes from the small but maturing ‘indie-rock’ community. What were previously niche sounds and genres, began to perfect their impact on the public. The Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade, and in the rap community, the Stones Throw releases, along with Pharoe Monch, and others, proved that the splash that occured a few years earlier could happen again.

I want to think 2009 is becoming one of those years. Consider the new music that has been released recently.

Animal Collective’s Merriweather Post Pavillion
Kanye Wests 808 & Heartbreaks
HEALTH’s Got Color
Radiohead’s In Rainbows
MGMT’s Oracular Spectacular

And lastly, Jay-Z’s new release, Blueprint 3
