What up party people? I've been a little scarce lately and thought I'd drop a line letting everyone know what was up, if you give a rats ass. Most of my regular readers know by now that I'm in the process of moving across four states. Not fun at all. I've driven 2,900 miles the past nine days, so needless to say that is pretty much the reason I haven't been around much. I haven't gone more three days for over year without updating this blog, let alone the one post I've done in almost the past two weeks. I'm lacking in the new music that's out there, the blog updates on other sites and a lot of other stuff. Hell, I didn't even know that albumbase was down.
The good news is I've finally got all my things in one state today. The bad news is I have to unpack or at least get shit organized for my next move since my where I'm residing isn't permanent. I have no idea where where my CD's are (somewhere in a pile of boxes in the garage) and I have to do one of the things I hate most in the world, look for a job (anyone that has a decent job for me, hit me up...haha). I hope to have things back to somewhat of a routine by weeks end. If I've been lacking on returning emails, sending something out, a review, an interview, or anything that I haven't done yet, my apologies. Thanks for everyone who has sent and email or wished me well on here, much appreciated.
I'm "home", it's where I was born and raised. It's not exactly the most conducive to hip-hop, but I have more friends into the music and the culture (what up Dino and Wayne) and am surrounded more by it here and I hope to promote it more and help the scene. That being said, I'm going to miss Denver. This move wasn't because I wanted to, it was because I needed to. Thanks to those people in the Mile High City that I will miss.....Alex and his wife Heather (you two will truly be missed, thanks for everything), Frank (going to miss the storm chasing), Cianca (going to miss those early morning work days), Ryan, "Coors" Chris, Spears, Andrea (thanks for everything), Dan-O (go Steelers), Katie (behave yourself, big bro hears all), Stephanie and Travis, Alisa, Kaylee, and anyone I'm forgetting....big up to my Denver hip hop heads, the almighty CH Commish and his Slushy Gutter Crew, especially T-Dub and Spotwood (fuck Bream!), my man Gnome (haven't seen ya lately) and Thomas Evans and the whole Hip Hop Congress at the Auria campus (sorry I wasn't there much) and Dayal and Notes (sorry we never met up).
Thanks to the guys that helped keep WYDU going during my absence, Soul Clap (CHECK OUT THE MIXTAPE!), the new and talented contributor Eddie, my man Hugo, and my right hand man Chris. It made me have one less thing to worry about, its much appreciated. I hope to be slanging up goodies on the norm again soon, thanks for bearing with me....

maybe you should move more often. i've never seen the rest of the WYDU crew post so much!
WowtThat's a lot miles T and just think a few months down the track you will be all settled and have forgotten all about it, I feel your pain about moving though, I have done it more times that I have fingers and toes.
Stay up buddy.
The SG crew will definitely be holding it down back here in the CO; ice cold beers and real Hip Hop represent. One. Oh yeah, and Tulo was ROBBED!
trav, i ain't even know you was on the move already.
that's how much i been around, too.
well.. cheers, homie. hope all works out for you. there'll be no storm-chasing going on over there..
a-one lol that comment.
trav, i came here to ask you something, but seeing as you're busy, just hollah if/when you get a chance. i remember you mentioning that you've read a hip hop book or 2.

or if anyone else can help a brother out:
i'm doing a paper on how hip hop has affected society in the last 20-30 years,
and i can probably freestyle the whole thing,
but i wonder if anyone out there has any official great books or points of reference.
or if anyone is reading this and you feel like spitting a few words or sentences or paragraphs on your thoughts on the matter.
i'm required to speak on it 10-15 minutes, and submit a ?7-page paper. i imagine i can speak and write on all the elements, but a bulk of it will probably be the mc/rap segment because it'swhat become so prevalent.
i await your comments. love peace and hairgrease.
@Brandon - Thanks man, much appreciated
@E - I gotcha man
@BMH - Thanks man
@a-one - crackin' that whip man, they jumped hahaha...naw, I just asked nicely.
@Jaz - yeah, at least I didn't move across oceans and into other countries, so you got me beat on that end.
@CH - yeah, Tulo was robbed...he is my man now. Thanks.
@Alley - The best book for something like that would be Jeff Chang's "Can't Stop, Won't Stop", its is basically 400 + pages of that very thing.
Yeah, no storm chasing, not really. Might hit up some of the Snake River Super Cells in the later part of the summer, but not much of a chance of tornadoes. It would be just for the photographic opps
Travis honey, you are missed already Heather K
Travis, Glad you made it safe! Miss ya, Hope all is well and good luck on the job hunting. Your welcome for everything. Keep in touch!
