Waxploitation – Causes 2

It’s a shame that it takes high profile musicians coming together to make people aware of the crisis in Darfur. This is something the media really should be doing more to cover.

Food For Thought: Busta Rhymes

How many remixes of Arab Money is he gonna do? Why doesn’t he make an Arab Money album, then do a different album that’s stuff like Don’t Touch Me? That song was DOPE! Arab Money has such a terrible beat. I was excited for B.O.M.B. because I thought we were gonna get some old school [...]
