Live from the CRAP Eyewear + Those Folks new sunglasses release afterparty this past Thursday in Venice aka the first Fat Tony & Tom Cruz show of 2012. I think I’m trying to wink. Tom Cruz DJ’d all kinda things but mostly dancehall and latin music while I prepared myself mentally, physically, and spiritually to grace the stage. Then we rapped our hearts out for a packed room of young, attractive people from all walks of life. God bless America.

I interviewed Rap-A-Lot head honcho J. Prince at NPR, making for what is probably the first time the esteemed public radio institution has run the words cutting a woman’s breasts and f—-ing the dead body. Hopefully it won’t be the last.
Hit the jump for a quick outtake about regional demand and the origins of Scarface’s name.
Thank you, @noz. Been waiting for someone to interview Lil’ J like this. Rap-A-Lot for fucking life, hoe. If you don’t know then now’s the time to revisit every highlight in their catalog before it’s too late.
God bless you shawty. I value your progressive mind & ideas as well as your fine taste in my rap music. Although some of us may have moved past “ask” (I blame Formspring with all my heart) I implore us all to fondly remember A/S/L as the inimitable icebreaker of the 20th century & early 21st century.
My dear friend and rock ‘n’ roll celebrity Heems (aka Mr. Himanshu Suri) of Das Racist latest solo release NEHRU JACKETS features @HIMANSHU + @BigBabyGandhi + @fattonyrap all hanging out together rapping very nicely and being pleasant as fuck on “Bangles”.
The magic was recorded for future time capsules by New York’s own Daniel Lynas at ishlab studio. He also mixed, mastered, and recorded everything else on Nehru Jackets. He’s a real go-getter.
The mixtape (presented by Greedhead and Queens, NY nonprofit community organization SEVA) also has a lot of other great songs and features from fun people like Danny Brown, Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire, Das Racist’s Kool A.D., Action Bronson, Childish Gambino, Despot, and more. Produced entirely by Mike Finito aka @MikeFinito.

Had a in depth convo with my bro @fattonyrap last night at The Flat about this. “AFRICANS UNITE”
Birth of a Nation 4*29*1992. Thanks @noz for putting me on to this via cocaineblunts.com. Award winning low budget documentary all about the L.A. riots sparked by the Rodney King verdict and years on years on years on years on years of fucked up living conditions and trauma. Features tons of live footage.
I couldn’t even imagine what this would be like in America today. Will this happen again in my children’s lifetime? My children’s children’s lifetime? I don’t know.
