I know a lot of you don’t like hip-hop, but I was rockin’ out to a Mr.Lif album this morning and was surprised by the lyrical quality and social relevance of this song:
Go to the beach and realize you got a scanline across your tanline.
And find microchips in your hands, fluid in your Grands; as [...]
Strange fact of the day (from WIRED magazine):
You may have enough cocaine in your wallet to attract a drug-sniffing dog. Studies indicate that blow can be found on between 70 and 100 percent of US bills. Of course, that doesn’t necessarily mean your greenbacks were used to snort the stuff. ATM mechanisms quickly spread the [...]
