legends

We here the word legend and we think inspiration a person who made it thru adversity at the highest level. To me that decribes Guru from Gangstarr. I never met him or did a song with him but I was a true fan and followed him thru out the Gangstarr era. Hip hop was never the same for me when I heard the Step in the arena album. I figured these guys would be famous after the world heard their music. Its been over a week since we've heard about his passing and I stll can't believe it. I doubt we will ever hear a voice like that again so if you have a Gangstarr or a Jazz ma tazz album listen and remeber Keith Elam aka Guru.

almost done

What up people. Just letting you know that the action inc album is almost done and we can't wait to drop this long awaited release. Also be on the lookout for monumental music and new single releases. Thanx to all of you that have been supporting and showing mad love. We promise to bring you the finest music we can make so stay involved with movement.

at the lab

At the studio all sorts of things go on. Creativity, drinking, smoking , girls for some but what about just having fun. I meet so many people that let themseleves get so stressed. I think we look at music as more of a work process instead of a fun process, I mean isn't that why we do this. For fun right? Don't get me wrong I'm for putting out good work but if you can't have fun why do it. Create as much as you can when you can but don't let creativity stress you out.

conversations

There should be a law that sends people to jail for not being able to have proper conversations.
Its crazy, you'd think in this day and age people would know how to do this simple form of communication.
You have different types too. First you have what I call the interuptor, this is a person for whatever reason thinks what they say is way more important than you all the time. Second is the close talker, you know that person that feels the need to get in your personal space just to tell you highlights of last nites game. Last but not least the drunk talker, this person is a gem. How many drinks does it take for this person to tell everyone in the club that they love you. This is what we all see when we go out but you gotta love it!!!

new hip hop

I have a question. When did any hip hop between 2000 and 2005 become old school? I think people have gotten it twisted these past few years. Now I'm a true believer of instant classic's but to call that era old school is ridiculous. Lately there has been a new wave of cats that are quick to throw the word old around. To me old school is run dmc, fat boys, and ll cool j. If you are calling mos def, talib, common, roots , slum village, j dilla, or anything dope from that era old school you're sleeping. I know that the kids now are a lot younger these days so here's a tip. Don't ever argue hip hop with a vet because you will get a lesson. Know your history

the club

First of all let's talk about the club. I'm older now so the experience for me is a little strange these days but for others
a different story. What once was fun is now extremely whack. The music, the people, the watered down liquor drinks and the over the top bouncer with the tribal tatoos. Remember back in the day when you could get a drink without the stress of drunk idiots causing so much drama. There should be a cell in the club where people who can't handle their liquor have to sit until closing. Just a thought......
