Fighting in wars waged by the Bush administration, funneling tall boys at Nascar events, fucking my sister, voting Republican, believing in Jesus and other nonsense, sharpening my garden hoe and eating non-processed beef jerky.
Music
Royal Flush, Rugged Intellect, Demigodz, Kool G Rap, Talib Kweli, The Game, Euphrates, Redman, Copywrite, Intense, Boom Bap Project, Del, R.A. The Rugged Man, AZ, AG, Lord Finesse, The Whole Mutha Fuckin' D.I.T.C., Slaine, Jaysaun, Edo G, Special Teamz, Mobb Deep, Cage, Capadonna, Wu-Tang, Sunz of Man, Grayskul, Little Brother, Pre-Aftermath Eminem, Sean P., will finish this list next time I get a minute.
Movies
It's not so much that I like some movies as it's that I'm nauseated by hip-hop's childish obsession with Scarface. Get over it.
Television
I simply watch the TV guide station until episodes of Perfect Strangers and My Two Dads come on. I also like Guerro de los Sexos.

Hocus Pocus by Kurt Vonnegut; The Image by Daniel Boorstin; everything Jonathan Kozol, Chris Hitchens and Greg Palast have ever written.

Chris FARA1 Check "Shooting An Elephant" - My Dis Track and Video Sniping Fox News Rappers The Young Cons...http://lnk.ms/0zp0dPosted at 9:15 PM Jul 9 view more
About me: I'm a news and arts reporter for The Boston Phoenix who also covers hip-hop (and some other shit on occassion) for The Source, Yellow Rat Bastard (YRB) Magazine and (formerly) Elemental, Boston's Weekly Dig and The Boston Herald - none of which means that you should nag me for press - I'm just propping myself here.
The list of people I've written about reads the same as the list of cats I respect and listen to. That's what I do: cover artists whose pen movements motivate me to spill ink. If you want names though - here's a very abridged list: Kool G Rap, Ludacris, R.A. the Rugged Man, The Game, Talib Kweli, Rev Run, Damian Marley, Cage, Casual, Lady Sovereign, 50 Cent, Edo G., Slaine, Jaysaun, Lyor Cohen, Sean Price, Pigeon John, Lyrics Born, Stat Quo, Prince Po, DL, Awkward Landing, Ras Kass, Defari, Mr. Lif, Akrobatik, Jake the Snake, The Greater Good, Tanya Morgan, Pharrell Williams, Cee-Lo Green, Danger Mouse, Euphrates, Rugged Intellect, 7L, Esoteric, Grandmaster Flash, Kid Sister, Chamillionaire, Copywrite, Dru Ha, Sean P., Q-Unique, Kool Keith, Miri Ben-Ari, Immortal Technique, Slug, Ant, Brother Ali, Sheek Louch, Sean Paul, Substance Abuse, RJD2, Blueprint, Time Machine, Del and a lot more.
I hate weak shit.
