Ladies

Imagine the world without ladies.  Dismal.  Then again, imagine it without gents.

Anyway, here's a cool little journey on female rappers, starting with Roxanne Shante and Baby Love in the Rock Steady Crew.  Good good.  Roxanne has like a million verses and Baby Love has two lines.  Interesting to see the Rock Steady Crew as kids, really, kids.  Such a - I would even say - innocent positivity there.  Fun times when ya got some time.

MC artisans

A thought about MCs after catching Optimen and Ozi Batla at the FBi Radio Stolen Records ball. Numbers, MCs in numbers. That I can have collaborators onstage to share the force. That there are so many ideas that I have in terms if rhythmically layering phrases between more than one MC. And also, that it's possible to under utilise three MCs. That one can be as or more strong.
