GO South; Louisiana Edition October 2009 BWLP



all right, already. whats' good? well today it was the Dragon Boat Festival at Treasure Island. good people, no STRAIGHT UP GORGEOUS people, (nothin' like REAL rowers, yo.) but anywho...
on with whas'up:
chilling with my son watching boats go zoom on a stellar Bay Area day, eating bagels with cream cheese in the lower Haight around 10:30 AM on a Saturday morning, copping more Rice milk at Trader Joe's, eating popovers and homemade potato soup with neighbors...and of course,
mixing the latest edition of BWLP!

welcome to a very special october 2009 edition of birds who like pomegranate mixed media music magazine. it’s good to be alive- just bust the tracks in this months edition. we mix it up with a HEAVY dose of n’awlans with some international flavor. it’s like the gumbo my auntie didi used to make: with the crab, the okra, the tomato base, onions, spices, home made rolls, chitlins, sweet potato pies, fried chicken, croquettes...no, no no, this is real shit- with my own folks from New Iberia and Lafayette and a last name originally delcambre. you still don’t hear me though...but maybe you do. it’s 2009 and a whole new bumper crop of emcees are cutting their teeth in a world where indie rap is developing alot like punk rock did in the 70’s. i am- can only imagine it to be for them. i mean i had my cookie crews, stetsa, too short, latifah’s, shineheads, scott la rock’s, fab five freddy’s, and sha rock’s. i mean i grew up with that. original b-boy m’damn self. but now?! hmm. and what’s it like to be somebody like jay z right now? with so much hating on success for just trying to come true. well...
let’s peep it.

s’go... project mooncircle doin’ lambent- smoothness extract, tygah woods doin’ i can’t help it, lyrikill doin’ this man, og scraper bike historical 101 from the bay with baby champ, fred, and lil d (ain’t nothin’ like the town special addy), blaze the verbal chemist doin’ message to the people, 5th child doin’ hip hop live, slangston hughes doin’ the righteous way to go, wes b doin’ beats breaks and rhymes, j-dubble doin’ still fan tas tic, zaki ibrahim & darm malone doin’ zaki dub a stand (Canadian special addition), vohnbeatz and MPAK featuring lil d doin’ candy bars, and mr str82dapoint doin’ you got me, fin.
Until the gift mix edition mid October.
