An Old Killa Bee Once Hummed Me A Tune

I’m not feeling very well, and I’m at a loss to say too much about either of these songs. Really, I’d much rather just gloat about the Yankees’ victory and mock the Red Sox.

There could have been no better way for the Red Sox to lose last night. Nothing else could possibly have been more painful than to have a commanding lead during the majority of the game, have it all fall apart in the eighth, go into dead-heat extra innings, and have their dreams shattered literally at the last minute. Talk about twisting the knife! Brilliant. Don’t you Red Sox understand? You are CURSED. God HATES YOU. You will NEVER WIN. It was your game to win last night, and you BLEW IT. Feel the shame, Boston! This is your destiny.

That said, Pedro Martinez really did pitch a top-notch game. He did a good job of delaying the inevitable. Hopefully the Yankees can buy him sometime soon.

RZA w/ Masta Killa “Grits” – This is from the new album Birth Of A Prince, which is really quite good (I’d put it in a top ten best Wu solo LPs list if I had to make one right now), and restores my faith in the Wu after two very weak years since Iron Flag came out. (Well, at least in terms of albums – there have been some good Wu singles and album tracks since then.) I had to debate a bit over which song from the record to put up – I was leaning heavily towards posting “Bob N’ I” or “A Day To A God Is 1000 Years,” but “Grits” got the nod mostly because it’s the most accessable and the obvious single. Hopefully the new Method Man and Raekwon LPs will turn this into a winning streak for the Wu team.

The Zombies “Care Of Cell 44” – Just love this song. I don’t have any special reason for posting it today other than that I love it.
