Elevate your experience




Oh No briefly shows some of the musical capabilities that can be utilized with the new Ipad! I have friends that are already sampling, scratching, building beats, controlling pro tools wireless, and even using full blown recording programs on the Iphone so I can't wait to get my hands on one of these. The only thing I'm not feeling is the size which for what it does is necessary but I always hated carrying too many things. If you have an Ipad you either gonna have to rock a fruity messenger bag of lose a hand. In the words of Black Sheep "The choice is yourrrrsss!"

IS THE ART OF FREESTYLE DEAD?!


The first rhymes I ever attempted to say out loud were as I like to say off the top of the dome. Freestyle, off the head spittin,extemporaneous speech is how I began rhyming and what I did for a few years before ever writing a lyric. It seems that this art is beginning to fade and is no longer seen as a weapon every MC must posses to some degree in order to be taking serious or seen as having a complete skill set. 99% of the time when I see a mix tape that says such n such's "freestyle" or I hear someone supposedly freestyle on radio its very rarely if ever a true freestyle. It seems that rappers now think bc it's not recorded its a freestyle. Motherf*cker if you wrote the shit it aint a god damn freestyle and beyond that I think your f*cking WACK for trying to pass it off as one. If you want to know what true freestyle is about look up artist like SuperNatural (depicted above), or Black Thought from the roots, and Mos Def is mos definitely a freestyle beast! If you see a rapper spittin a "freestyle" ask em if they wrote it, a lot of times their reading it write in front of you and calling it a freestyle lmao! You should be ashamed of yourselves!
